#WorldwideRush has been out for a bit (and so has my first video in Classic Mode!), so how are we all finding it? Me? It's fun, but I feel I've already done most of what there is to do, and I'm looking forward to some updates like better Hub Manager control, improved performance, and modding!

Really excited for the Star Wars x Indiana Jones movie next year! #TheMandalorianAndGrogu

This makes me so fuckin' happy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni84... Holeway Studios absolutely NAILED the vibes on this cover.

Fashionably late as always, the next episode of #TransportFever2 dropped early today! youtu.be/OkK8SbCZVS8 This episode's all about getting away (mostly) from public transport and getting back to some cargo management, in the South of England!

My first video in over a month went out yesterday! youtu.be/gqNeiVke61o Turns out, despite over two decades of experience with transport management in video games, and over a decade doing it on YouTube, I'm still a bit shit at transport management in video games!

Whoops! Did I say "this week"? Videos are back on Monday! Looking at continuing Transport Fever 2 and wrapping it up kind of soon (the performance has gotten really bad!), checking out Worldwide Rush again now that it's out, and jumping back into Town to City once it launches on Steam!

I'll be back on YouTube this week! :)

I upset the Battlefield fans with this one.

#EmpireState in #Battlefield6 is such a disappointment. ✌️🤓 youtu.be/PhQGYGPvRpM

I made a video talking about how much fun I had in the Battlefield 6 Open Beta... but it's not a ConflictNerd video... ✌️🤓 youtu.be/ovibJ5Wc9Bc

Okay... So... If you're going to rip moments from my videos to post on other platforms, that's cool and all but... ... don't cut my videos into 5-10 minute chunks to reupload the whole fucking thing to TikTok in parts. That's not cool.

Had some feedback over the last few months about some thumbnails, especially Cities: Skylines and Transport Fever, looking similar and being hard to tell apart. Going to start using colours from the current icon (where possible) as a border for each series, so it's easier to tell 'em apart. :)

You ever thought to yourself, "what is the opposite of a ConflictNerd?" www.youtube.com/@PeacefulDork

Nothing beats a #Jet2 Holiday. #Battlefield6

#Battlefield6 might be the most fun I've had in a shooter in a long time. XDefiant was fun while it lasted, Killing Floor 3 is it's own thing, and getting to know Destiny 2 was great... but this is, finally, proper Battlefield again. Let's hope they don't fuck it up between now and October.

Needed somewhere to put my Papa V mask for a little while. Turns out Chriper is the perfect fit! @citiesskylines.paradoxinteractive.com #TheBandGHOST

Been playing a little #Battlefield2042 to get hyped for the upcoming #Battlefield6 Beta. Now... I mean this both sincerely, and as politely as possible... The map design in 2042 might be some of the worst I've seen, ever. Some of these could have been made by a monkey fucking a coconut.

I'll have a video about this closer to the time, but at some point in the next couple of weeks I'm going to be taking a break from posting for a little while - probably no more than a month. 🧵 1/5

"There's only three stops on that light rail line!" Viewers, you too can find out why it's important to watch to the end of a video in the latest episode of #TransportFever2! 😉

"YouTube has updated its monetization policy to allow swearing within the first 7 seconds of videos." New intro time. "WHAT THE FUCK IS UP, GAMERS?!"

#AD | I recently sat down to play some #PlanetCoaster2 with the goal of creating a waterpark that is as dangerous as it is exciting, and in true "me" fashion I ended up getting carried away with detailing and landscaping... I also built a really cool looking waterslide and pool!

Since I've been a grouch on social media today, here's a rough demo of me singing Lachryma, harmonies and all. #TheBandGHOST

Remember when I talked about my office hitting 35C and higher recently? Fairly sure the temps have caused my GPU to burn out. Those black boxes all over Task manager (and occasionally elsewhere) are typically a guarantee that your GPU is on it's last legs. So that's fun.

"The laws in your location require you to verify you're an adult before accessing certain features on Bluesky, like adult content and direct messaging." Go fuck yourself, UK Government, and whichever third-party you are wanting to pass my info over to.

Today, I argued with Star Citizen fanboys on Reddit and was told to stop playing the game because I think some of the systems aren't great but could be so much better for everyone. I guess I'm not a Real Star Citizen Fan™ because I haven't spent $5000+ on it over the last 12 years. 😔

Urban Games uploaded a first look at the environment in #TransportFever3 and just... WOW! The game looks beautiful! Very excited to play around with multiple biomes on a single map!

#TwoPointMuseum has a new DLC! I was going to have a video of it yesterday, but the recording corrupted and I lost two hours of footage. The game autosaves, which kind of screwed up my progress, and so I'm live on Twitch, right now, restarting Momento Mile! 📺 www.twitch.tv/ConflictNerd

"Bonetrousle" Undertale (2015)

#AD | Block Factory asks the question, "What if LEGO and Facorio had a 3D crossover?" The answer? It'd be a cosy, factory-building puzzle game just like this!

#TownToCity might just be the best new city-builder of 2025...

Had nothing but technical issues these past two days. Lost roughly four hours of footage this morning thanks to it. Finally caved and bought a new GPU for the recording rig that should, in theory, solve the issue. Good ol' GPU encoding. GTX 1080 Ti → RTX 3070 Ti

Good morning! Let's hop back into some #CitiesSkylines2 to build a steakhouse in Armadillo, a fuel refinery outside of Armadillo, and to adjust some traffic up in Blackwater! All of this in the latest episode of #ColumbiaCounty, out now on YouTube! :)

📣 Update! My office has been at 35c - 40c for a week. Not been great for the electronics, and tough to sit in for long periods of time. Calling an A/C company tomorrow for a permanent fix. Things are a bit cooler tonight though, so hoping to bring videos back in the next day or two.

Decided to grow a mullet in #StarCitizen 4.2... @robertsspaceind.bsky.social

Been spending some time learning about masks in OBS, and how to use them to apply a blur behind sources. Kind of a knock-off "Liquid Glass," with no displacement map. While not super fancy, everything in this video was done in OBS, in real-time. That green alert needs to be brighter though.

Controversial Opinion... I like the video games that I like. :)

It's been almost five months, but today we're finally heading back to Columbia County in #CitiesSkylines2! 📺 youtu.be/g6lGuewBnnU

I was today years old when I rediscovered that Cities: Skylines II has autosave disabled by default... 😔

Dieting is hell... You have no idea how much I miss chocolate biscuits, pasta, mountains of cheese, and fried food... It's working though! :)

Having some trouble with a couple of Cities: Skylines II mods, but have a solid idea for our first episode back in Columbia County which, unfortunately, will not be today. Instead, we'll be starting up one last run in Transport Fever 2, on a map that's a recreation of the British Isles!

Tomorrow.

The final episode of #AirportCEO is out now... Things got a bit unhinged in this one thanks to some "peculiar" shapes being built... Whoops. youtu.be/1dhIsruM80c Taking a few days off to recharge, and to start working on a return to #CitiesSkylines2. Back on Wednesday! :)

#JurassicWorldEvolution3 is coming October 21... Really enjoyed the first two, and very xcited for more dinosaurs! :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-Jv...

📢 Quick Update! Been focusing on wrapping up some ongoing series lately. #TwoPointMuseum didn't get "finished" exactly, but I'm happy with where I left it and it'll continue if/when there's a DLC. #HotelArchitect will continue if/when there's a new hotel. #AirportCEO finishes tomorrow. (1/2)

I'll be 32 in November, and as such I think it's time to lean back into my goth/metal style. Minus the hair dye. That stuff's going to do me no favours.

So... how are we feeling about #DoctorWho? Without spoiling anything, I thought Gatwa was at his absolute best in the season finale and wish he was given more scripts like this since starting. The end, while expected as I read the leaks, has me a bit... whelmed. Curious to see what happens next.

I returned to that other social media site to post one thing, and one thing only. YouTube's porn bot problem has gotten worse for years, and the continue to do nothing about it. I'm no prude, but I don't need to see spread cheeks in several profile pics, of several "commenters," per uploaded video.

This announcement has me thinking of going back for another Transport Fever 2 series... maybe I'll actually finish this one?
