Yeah; the plans were all but finalized, and a bunch of property purchased, but he didn't want the poors riding the new monorail through his high-rises' "sunlight" (aka line of sight) so he blocked it at a couple key places in downtown. I didn't recall if it was litigation or what, but he basically forced the project to scramble for a new route, which drove up costs and iirc required a redesign. It fell apart after that.
He basically singlehandedly torpedoed the monorail, so he can rot for all I care.
Just a slight correction: the Link Light Rail project officially opened their first station (although served by bus at the time) in 1997. It's taken almost 28 years to get to this point.
Starting to see an absolute flood of those. A literal deluge!
The Trump cult only mattered up to now; it's mainly irrelevant going forward, except as a source of Brownshirts.
LOL, "-2028". He's going to die in the traces and it's going to be the J.D. Vance presidency until about 2050.
I mean, yes, eventually, after I found a bunch of quartz outcroppings and manually ground them to dust, I was able to get these options.
But quartz being completely unreachable for like, 4 whole tiers, is Unfun.
Also, this has been an issue for 6 years. Given how great every other part of the game is, this in particular stands out as a problem to me.
Looking good! How are you getting around, generally? Trucks?
I'm really getting annoyed by the desert start location. The closest quartz is under a mountain inaccessible unless I finish researching Nobelisk, and the second-closest is 2.5km away through impassible terrain filled with unkillable monsters. It's less "challenging" and more... "needlessly obnoxious".
Gazpacho, like revenge, is best served cold.
You magnificent motherfucker. You beautiful bastard. You incandescent ignoramus.
What happened to the Pike St. Gondola plan? I was told it was "a sure thing", a "lock", "absolutely going to happen". It's almost like all these gondola proposals are grifts designed to extract money from the region while providing zero benefits!
The Ancient Magus's Bride is a nice slow-burn romance/adventure series that skips a lot of tropes and isn't in any kind of rush. The setup is pretty uncomfortable, though.
