Cities: Skylines II gets good pre-release reviews

October 20, 2023

Colossal Order and Paradox’ new iteration of the bestselling Cities: Skylines gets good grades from the reviewers who have got pre-release copies of Cities: Skylines II.

On the review aggregation site Metacritic the game now has a metascore of 77/100 based on 33 reviews and the site Opencritic lists it with also 77/100.

The first Cities: Skylines game was released in spring 2015 and is Paradox’ biggest hit yet with over 12 million copies sold. It has also had a steady release of DLC:s and a very healthy modder community.

Yesterday evening Cities: Skylines II was the fourth most wishlisted game on Steam and on their global list of sales it was on place ten.

A roadtrip to the north

A roadtrip to the north

October 10, 2023

Since I’m finally up to date on the Promods mod version and in a try to forget about the autumn coming rapidly here, I decided to take a tour up north where there blissfully is eternal summer in Euro Truck Simulator 2. So a photo album from the high Nordics it is.

First task. Delivering a yacht from Narvik to Hammerfest. Don’t ask me why they couldn’t just, you know, sail it there.

And once that was done I couldn’t resist from taking a pure sightseeing tour up to Nordkapp. One fun thing is that I actually managed to arrive there right before midnight, so I got to see the midnight sun in all its game glory.

Morning again and time to return south. But in order to not make it a totally unprofitable journey we first should pick up some cargo. And then it’s time to start tunneling and winding back.

The goal, central Finland. So there’s a bit to go.

Seahorses, anyone?

“I am out riding, my dog Amiable beside me, when she suddenly runs off into the . My retinue assures me she will come back, but what if she doesn’t?!”

And as an extra bonus, not related to the above. Smurfs, meet king Gargamel ‘the Lame’ Fezensac of France.

FS22 Premium Expansion: Welcome to Zielonka

September 27, 2023

In November it is time for the second big expansion pack for Farming Simulator 22. The Premium Expansion will – among many other things – provide a new official map with an east Polish feeling to it. So welcome to a sneak peek of Zielonka.

Next stop Arkansas

Next stop Arkansas

September 18, 2023

Somewhat surprisingly SCS Software has now revealed the latest American Truck Simulator map DLC in their production pipeline. And it is somewhat surprising because it turned out to be Arkansas. It seems the two Dakotas will have to wait a bit longer.

In my personal opinion I think going with Arkansas after Nebraska makes sense in that it moves us a bit further east. I’m sure there are very nice things to discover in both South and North Dakota too, but there is a risk that it becomes a little too much midwest at once.

Even if I ought to be used to it by now I sometimes still can’t help but marvel over some of the visuals in this game. Sometimes what you need is just to tune in a nice radio station and drive all through the night.

FS22 Oxbo Pack DLC

FS22 Oxbo Pack DLC

August 23, 2023

The next DLC for Farming Simulator 22 will drop on September 19 and features the Oxbo brand. Oxbo, which this far has been represented in the base game by one single sprayer, is a manufacturer of specialty harvesting and controlled application technology.

With the coming pack that lone sprayer can get company by four (or seven, depending on how you choose to count) new pieces of Oxbo equipment:

  • Oxbo 6030 – Harvester configuration
  • Oxbo 6030 – Sprayer configuration
  • Oxbo AT5105 – LNMS configuration
  • Oxbo AT5105 – DNMS configuration
  • Oxbo AT4103 – LNMS configuration
  • Oxbo AT4103 – DNMS configuration
  • Oxbo 2340

The star of this pack probably is the Oxbo 6030 multi-function grape harvester, which is a very versatile machine with configurable harvester and sprayer attachments.

Karhuvaara again

Karhuvaara again

August 18, 2023

At Karhuvaara the farming continues. The most important on the to-do list at the moment being mowing some of the grass fields for silage and cow feed. The twenty milk cows might not be the largest herd, but they still need their feed.

Downhill mowing.
Old tractors can still do good work.

Simultaneously with the grassland work there’s still things left to out on the barley field. Or former barley field since all that’s left now is the straw. The quite important straw that in due time will become bedding for the cows. But in order to become that it first needs to be collected in neat little bales.

Bale pick up in process.

Once the straw bales have been safely brought back to the farm and stashed, it’s time to refill some other stocks as well. Both seeds and fertilizer will soon come in handy.

Shopping time.

The Valtra and the MP-Lift are both mods made by Farmari99 and available at the official modhub. Volvo BM 2654 tractor is part of the Platinum Expansion Pack DLC, while the Pöttinger forage wagon and the Krone mower both come in the Hay & Forage Pack DLC.
