  1. I've pinned the topic for obvious reasons of visibility and to find any helpers.

  2. Being a one-man devteam is immensely exhausting, almost to the point of wanting to quit.

  3. FLEXFLY Issue

    Ganaram Inukshuk replied to rcc31's topic in NAM & Transit Networks

    Yeah, flex-stacking, as it's called, isn't supported because of how much code is needed. They need to be completely separate with no overlap.

  4. Show us your Oddities!

    Ganaram Inukshuk replied to borntoboogie's topic in SC4 Showcase

    This is exactly why double-decker anything has to be limited to different modes or different directions.

  5. 16th Section, the Northwest Ordinance, and SimCity

    Ganaram Inukshuk replied to Kiwiwriter47's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    Having come from a small debate over grid systems, it's obvious how Americacentric SC4 is, but the mentality of breaking up the entire country into one-mile grid squares doesn't exactly apply to the entire country. Same exact thing is mentioned early in this vid. (I only started to notice the one-mile squares in US maps after I found this vid, so I never had a chance to try that in any game session.)

  6. Assisance with my first ever NAM Highway

    Ganaram Inukshuk replied to Missecho's topic in NAM & Transit Networks

    You managed to find one of the many easter eggs i left behind, actually. (That's the symbol of one of the former NAMdevs.) The entire interchange will work just fine, even like that.

  7. Players on grids in city builders: square grid vs hex grid vs no grid

    Me: cries in tetrakis square tiling

  8. Sometimes the heroes need a hero of their own rather than a cape.

    1. Terring

      Terring

      True

  9. It would be the first time in a long time that I can safely say that I feel like the future looks bleak.

  10. The funnest part about programming is realizing that there's a cleaner way to implement something and successfully adapting it for a slightly different use case.

    I also haven't touched my last personal project in over three months, so there's a ton of code to sift through and clean up.

  11. My greatest issue is how I keep hiding my interests and talents from most acquaintances due to them being uninterested or unappreciative and how, when given the opportunity to work with others, those interests/talents keep failing to be expressed. It's a chronic issue and it's enough to drain my motivation and can even force me to abandon interests/talents, and (confession) it's the ultimate reason why I can't see myself returning to the NAM Team.

    No one to talk to, and even if there were, I wouldn't even talk.

  12. Starting off the year/decade with the realization that over the span of four years, three separate family members have been hospitalized five times and you're the only one who can help out because everyone else is either too weak, too busy, too disabled, or anywhere from 500 to 5000 miles away, on top of having to contend with having virtually zero friends to help you out and next to zero confidence with personal projects/contributions. So much so that a real life Plague Inc scenario is the last thing on your mind. So much so that you're willing to push yourself even harder for said family members after pushing themselves for you. So much so that you would be willing to drive 400 miles in one day just to balance family and academics.

    How's your year so far?

      I applaud what you are doing for your family and I'm sure they must be appreciating your efforts to look after them ... I had a similar situation a few years back where I had two family members in two different hospitals at the same time and know how hard this must be for you.

  13. Nearly every weekend since November has been taken up by taking care of family, and yet I still manage to exist, even if it means trimming down on side interests.

    I need to reward myself with a 4K monitor; it's been too long since I had a tech upgrade (and returning that 1440p monitor for a stuck pixel and hoping another 1440p monitor will come my way hasn't worked out either).

  14. Hardcoded height limit found

    Ganaram Inukshuk replied to Wiimeiser's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    65535 is what from I recall the upper limit for the traffic query tool, so it's sensible to assume the unsigned 16-bit integer max applies in... really weird ways... New question: is it really 65535 or 6553.5 and then rounded down to the next multiple of 1000? All sorts of games (and finance) will count by increments smaller than 1 but still use ints to get around floating-point rounding errors. (For example, Runescape uses 32-bit signed integers to save one's experience points (max of 2.147 billion exp), but counts by increments of 1/10th an experience point (max of 214.7 million), but rounds down to 200 million exp.)

  15. When you haven't had a proper weekend to yourself since November.
