    It's a pretty awesome game, endless of things todo and the developer has released loads and loads of updates that others would charge a lot of DLC money for.

    Great service from the swedish government, no ads or anything like that.

  • Commented on New version with merged mobile/desktop!

    We just rolled out a new version where we have merged the mobile and desktop version. We are still working on some issues. Since many applications existed on both the desktop and mobile version we had to merge those apps. We have moved likes and platforms with a script.

    • We have not moved the screenshots. We will probably fix this with a script later or try to do some manual work to move them. I will come back with more info.

    Code JS without Typescript or some other helper is like jumping from a plane without a parachute.

  • Transport Fever icon
    Reviewed Transport Fever  

    Both TF 1 and 2 is pretty good games for logistics / transportation geeks. The UI is a bit clunky sometimes and it can be hard to always get the trains to do what you want.

    It's also a bit unbalanced as soon as you get your networks running you get loads of cash while in the beginning it's kind of hard to balance your checkbooks.

    I'm always coming back to x-com for my turn based itch. Sometimes i try other games but i don't know. Xcom has the perfect mix between complexity and simplicity.

    I had a lot of issues with various other cookie editors like , seems to be some bug that you can't create cookies. It worked with Easy Cookie Editor and it actually has a cleaner UI as well.

    I've been using Take Command since it was 4DOS, sometime in the late 1980s.

    Like Powershell or Bash, there's a command shell replacement. It's called TCC, and it replaces CMD.EXE. Like Bash, it's a far superior scripting environment to CMD, but unlike Bash, it is backwards compatible with CMD. There are hundreds of improvements, in all sorts of areas: scripting, variables, functions, operators, command line expansion, directory history, internal commands, the...

    I'm not sure what the deal is with Postman but it's something with their UI that makes me crazy. You can't copy paste stuff without the cursor leaving the fields and so on.

    Their environment system also feels weird and you have no idea what gets saved or not and it's just confusing in general.

    I have tried Insomnia for a while now and it just feels so much better.
