This pretty much sums up my thoughts when I got the Antique achievement.

Using servos as a switch machine was a mixed experience for me, leaving me slightly frustrated since I struggled to install them properly on some switches. Hence I gave the MTB DP1 switch machine a try in order to save me a headache. The DP1 comes with a built-in decoder that supports DCC, and tak ...

The Shanghai mission of Transport Fever 2 (the last mission of the 3^rd chapter) includes an optional quest to “create a crowded stations vale of 80%.” Initially I increased the number of vehicles, hoping the value would decrease to get less overcrowded stations.

There are several cases why you’d want to change the native browser scrollbars for your website—whether you feel like they take up too much space, want to play around a bit, or simply don’t like how they look. One way ...

Since I had a fairly old GPU (an AMD Radeon RX 570 to be specific), I waited for the release of the Radeon RX 9000 series to finally upgrade. I was amazed how smooth the shift went.
