Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

I didn't think anyone else here knew about Kraftwerk.

If not the memes, I probably didn’t know about them as well . A lot of 50-years old music came to me with memes... and some cover arts have really worked as promotion .

I don't even know about Kraftwerk memes.

My Dad listened to Kraftwerk when I was growing up, then one day we went to a concert of theirs on a tour of America.  They were incredibly.... strange.  But it was great music! 

I should probably listen to them next time I drive in ETS2.  It would be fitting in Germany.

I know of Kraftwerk and I agree that would make a good avatar if you like anime or trucks.

Well, this «cute girls doing cute things» genre is so mainstream, so after animes about cute girls with guitars, motorcycles, camping gear, dumbbells, fishing rods etc. etc. there must be an anime about cute Japanese female truckers. I believe its time will come eventually .

[RainySunshine]

There better be an anime about cute girls driving trucks.  If they had one about army tanks, there will have to be one about trucks.

Mangakas love to create isolated fantasy worlds (like «need to make anime about girls on gondolas, but the real Venice has only males as gondoliers? No problem, we will terraform Mars and create our own copy of Venice!»), so I would love to see some community where European and American trucks work together (yes, yes, again Hard Truck 2 reference)... maybe even with some kind of Zootopia-like patchwork map, where it’s less than a day of driving between typical landscapes of Utah and Romania .

What the hell is everyone talking about?  Truck anime, Euro and American trucks working together, Kraftwerk?  Did everyone consume too much diesel fumes?   lol

I am predicting a blog post on Tuesday. 

[timmelon]

Just imagine that gif when you see someone speaking about trucks .

[flemishcap]

Yep... too much diesel fumes.

[timmelon]

That topic had mentions of cangaroos in Salzburg (and even Vice City taxis very recently), so the speaking about anime trucks and highway-related song is valid.
And why diesel? If the anime is meant to be based in the isolated fantasy world, the fuel can be even the ethanol... like that black SH-187 helicopter from Deus Ex.

No Update Today

To celebrate the end of our Christmas World of Trucks event, I decided to use some Ai, PurpleSmart.ai to be exact!  I made some simple promos to semi trucks just to see what it came up with!  I think it's cool when it makes up and designs it's own trucks!  So enjoy!  Since the only blog post we will get today is like the about the end of the event, I figured we could celebrate with some trucks!

Mercedes on the last photo looks almost perfect! I love it.

[Grapefoot]

I was impressed.  It just all of a sudden game me something that looked right.  It also tried a Peterbilt or something too.  lol.

I am predicting a blog post on Tuesday.

It’s here, but not so much informative.

Although, the numbers are really impressive. In total, more than nine times from Sun to Earth.
