Whenever you feel depressed at the terrible state of government services in the UK, like public transport (what's that?), health care (what do you mean you don't take ride share in emergencies to the hospital?), or housing (hahahahaha), just take a quick holiday across the pond to visit your rebellious colonial relations.

The only reason I want to visit England is to see exactly how bad their public transport is. When I was living in Western Australia I experienced such high levels of public transport that I ended up forgetting to renew my licence for two months... At the time I was working with a guy from North London who kept mentioning how our system was almost as bad as theirs. I never really got a solid explanation of why it is so bad, WA was the best public transport experience of my life lol

@@tristanridley1601 SimCity does not need photo-realism, better graphics are just the cherry on top- modern just means two things - it has to work on a modern PC (SC4 cannot without work well without hacks) and since modern PCs can handle WAY more than a 90's or early 00's PC, the game can be updated to do so much more, like have an improved simulation engine. SC was just plain fun. However, they kinda ruined the series with SimCity 2013 because they strayed so much from the formula.

In Germany, Switzerland and The Netherlands the integrated timed-transfer or pulse timetable is used to coordinate transfers from one line to another.

A clockface timetable has vehicles arriving/departing at consistent intervals often at frequency of an integer per hour.

This reminds me of a time when I was a kid, and I used to play a game called Stronghold Crusaders, and in it I would decrease the tax to 0%, and it was even possible to pay them to live there, then I'd add a bunch of "nice things" as the game called it, which simply boosted morale of all the citizens, and soldier units. They would then proceed to be "happy" and not require other things such as "food", which I could tell you became outrageously annoying to upkeep. So then you could just forever last in a siege from inside the castle, without worrying about food shortages, and simple sell things. There was also a glitch in the game where you could build walls around production areas, so the units would be stuck inside working, and place the ox tethers (the transfer of good produced to warehouses) inside your castle, meaning nobody got hurt, so long as you kept the production building closed by walls.

Totally not a scam living in New Scammington. 11/10 city. Would live here.

[@Mac_Omegaly]

Totally not a scam, think about it. You can probably pack a sleeping bag and sleep in that tram. Play games too. How kind of our city designer to let us use electrical sockets on the tram. Think about it this way... $50 for a three night stay is a fantastic deal.

[@Zorgdub]

Every time Spiff starts cutting down trees for Timber, I get flashback to the Prison Architect video where I first discovered him.

[@Geno5]

I effing love your builds. Would this by chance be Professor Moriarty? How about a city with residential, industrial and cemeteries

[@SchwhatNow]

Can you just imagine being a conductor on your of those overground railways? "My job is to drive this train a total of fifty feet in a half circle. Then I turn around and repeat the process in the other direction. I do this for eight hours, then I have to spend nineteen hours riding the other ones in order to get home."

[@Ben-o2o2j]

NEW SCAMMINGTON IS NOT A SCAM. My dream city

[@Ser_Danielope]

New Scamington is not a scam, I love only having to work 2 days a week

[@anarchy4812]

At first i was horrified and afraid that Spiff had snapped totally... then shrugged as i remembered he did that years ago

[@ZestyRhino]

😂😂😂 wow spiff…looks like plenty of opportunities to recreate the Boston tea party while on that Tram ride! 🇺🇸

[@joeclifford183]

“Should we pop down to the park love?” “Yeah, make sure you bring the mobile mini mart with us for the trip” Absolutely evil hahaha😂

[@chewbacca4403]

16:55 Deutsche Bahn wants to have a word.

[@rohitharidas91]

If we truly live in a simulation, I just hope I don't end up in the one created by spiff 😅

[@patrickhenry7721]

So long as you don’t mention the Boston Tea Party you’ll be ok…..probably

[@farshnuke]

I think you just explained a lot actually.

[@ChazDragoon]

i feel like someone, someday, will make a horror game about this.

[@XEPHOROfficial]

Oh man, you've given Rishi Sunak his greatest plan for HS2 now. Thanks Spiffing Brit, sons crying now.

[@mraidymaddful]

I have one of the Sim City games, I haven't played it in a while so I can't remember which one it is. Anyways, I always play on Sandbox Mode as when I play in Career Mode I end up being bankrupted after only a short time. I never thought about doing an evil city until I watched this; LMAO (HYSTERICALLY). I have built disastrous roller coasters that no one dares to ride in Planet Coaster and RCT but this is something I might have to try. Well worth a subscription. Oh and lose the fake British accent, we all know you're from Kansas............

[@MlnscBoo]

"If enough people say it, it becomes the truth." - The Spiffing Brit If only you knew how true that quote is here in the US. We're destroying ourselves.

[@Blue_Sonnet]

Yep, it's bloody terrifying watching it from the outside...

[@JAY-gl5xd]

Ol' W, said something to the effect of "in my line of work, you have to say something again and again to get people to believe you." It's an old trick, boosted these days by meme culture and corporate controlled censorship. But the truth is the truth. Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken. The Emperor has no clothes, regardless of what the citizens are prompted to say. Hamsters and rangers everywhere, REJOICE!

[@AlejandroGRM]

I want more cities design by spiff, it just works

[@Chaotic_Fragment]

“Perfectly balanced… …as all things should be…”

[@VarmintLP]

2:00 Spiff? Are you Lets game it out in disguise? That guy keeps building unnecessary long paths. His city at least had an exit while yours just is a one way ticket to hell xD

[@lecoutcritique8854]

"when dad left he said he was going to buy some smokes.. was 5 month ago" "Don't worry bro, he may still come back in 3 then, he's on time !"

[@kenny187ful]

This is truly the city of all time

[@Earpy]

I really liked the part where it was perfectly balanced!

[@ItsMrAssholeToYou]

My favorite was when he said "It's Spiffin' time!" and then proceeded to Spiff all over everything.

[@onlybostonian]

When The Spiffing Brit uploads, its a great day!

[@minecrafter0505]

9:27 has a bit more going on than just "Yoga and Zumba"... o_O

[@blackopsmaster2114]

Spiff: Makes streets two blocks wide so he can get maximum amount of jobs My girlfriend: Wow that looks horrible, looks like Fresno, California

[@dani4ever]

We need a Lets Game It Out colaboration. Don't know what game, but the most exploitable, suffering inducing sim you can find.

[@LordofSyn]

I agree with this. The chaos will flow!

[@camiloschwindt9758]

I can imagine a man telling his wife and kids that he is going to work, arrives 4 months late to his only day of work of the year, works 8 hours and then spends another 4 months returning to his house, just to find all their family dead because they had nothing to eat, since it takes 8 months to do the shopping 😂😂😂

[@taiwanisacountry]

I mean the british did travel halfway acrross the globe for some spices. So a 15 hour drive to a park seems reasonable

[@tanagerbirds]

& then they dont even use any of them...

[@constantinlucasievici9846]

Me: Walks to city and back on grass. Like a normal person would. Spiff: ... DANG IT

[@EnforcerX71]

Watching Spiff's videos, I have come to the conclusion that he is actually the devil himself, experimenting with new levels of Hell to create.

[@RaydeusMX]

The funny thing is that layout is practically an american suburb. I've never witnessed a more dystopian "living space" than that. (PS> And that's before even accounting for the even more dystopian "Home Owner Association" thing they also have over there.)

[@Plasmafox]

We have space to build cities bigger than a can of sardines instead of hyper-centralizing into giant rat-infested concrete cages. Also HOAs are great unless you don't participate in the governance of it or are exactly the sort of person they exist to repel.
