I had the same thoughts when I watched the first part. It all looked good but the acting would have been better with wooden puppets. Been a while since I watched such a boring movie.

I hadn't noticed the link to Blade Runner 2049, but now I see why I didn't like it in much the same way (being a replicant was not enough of an excuse). The original is one of my favourite movies, but 2049 is as real to me as those mythical pre and post trilogies of Star Wars that I have heard about, but can't find anywhere.

Comment Modern cars lack the fun of driving them (Score 1) 370

I don't mean they lack the fun of going out and touring the landscape by itself, but the actual act of driving the machine.

Until I gave up owning a car a few years ago, I always drove secondhand cars that gave me a sense of pride of owning something that had original style (not wind tunnel designed same-shape-different-brand) and needed a bit of skill to drive them well (youngest car I owned was a 1996 Alfa Romeo 164 Q4).

Those now antique cars involve you in driving and not make you feel detached from them as if you sit behind a screen on the couch and just point to where you want to go.

Not upstream because it's clear enough it's not in line with how they code ( the C++ way while mine is the C way ).

I did post all code on the forum and updated regularly, but the current code base is not posted yet. I want to change the timetable window first with the new/replaced one ( and most of the underlying code).

Indeed, it's the virtual version of building a model railroad in the attic.

There is an old patch to enable shunting as well to enable actual rail yard simulation for even more management, but unfortunately it was never further developed.
I do hope I can introduce it in my own OpenTTD fork later.
