When you finally park a truck manually for the first time!

I haven't been to Rotterdam/Europport ever since ATS was released. In fact, I have barely touched ETS2 since. Though since at this exact moment most players are on ETS2's EU#2 and I need some footage for my series (and cars got permission to pass through Europoort), I am considering to grab my Skoda and venture there to see what's going on. Very likely that I will regret this decision but I am tempted to. I'd rather venture through Oxnard, though, but there aren't many people on ATS, right now. :\

I fear the hard drive I run Steam and all my games from is dying. Just shortly ago ATS froze and a bunch of unexpected behaviours began to manifest. All drives but this one are being accessed fine and quickly, Windows is running fine and files stored on the other drives are available normally. Only the content in this drive is acting up. Slow access, freezing, Steam games won't launch or download and Steam itself gave me a error while trying to update a game saying that there was a disk write error. :\

Thankfully all I have there is basically Steam and its games so if the hard drive does die the loss shouldn't be great. There are, however, one particular folder I can't lose in there. It's big (over 77GB so that's why I've been keeping it there) and I will have to figure out where to transfer it to while I can.

it's going to be a big issue if I have to buy a new hard drive. Because if the crisis in my country, prices are currently all the way up through the roof and I don't have the budget for it. ;-;

Driving down that narrow little road near San Francisco on my way to the city (I love that little road <3) I came a cross a little car stuck on a rock on the side of the road next to the rest stop on a hill. His wheels would not grip because they could not touch the ground. Who knows he got stuck there. He asked for help while I was driving by and although I could simply say "F7+Enter, dude" as I probably should have I decided to be a good Samaritan and do my kindness gesture of the day. I pulled up at the rest stop, asked what was the situation and offered to give him a push. He accepted so I detached my trailer at the rest stop so it wouldn't block any traffic if there happened to have any, drove down to the car and gently pushed the thing back into the road. He thanked, I responded and each followed our paths.

It was fun.  I love being nice. lol

How to prevent complete chaos:

Step 1: Look at your minimap, observe the dots

Step 2: Make a judgement, can you predict where the dots are going?

Step 3: Take action

Here is a video of it in action:

The truck driver starts passing without observing his minimap for oncoming traffic, seeing this I applied the brakes so that the truck could pass.

See much better, no damage to anyone  

Drive cautiously and if ever possible, drive defensively not offensively 

I just gave the car a quick test drive and I have a question to make:

What are brakes?

lol but seriously, though... You'd think that the cars would brake better/quicker than the trucks because they are so much smaller and lighter but nope. Even at 40 miles they still take forever to come to a full stop. It's as if their tires or the road were made out of butter. Hahah. Any (unloaded) truck will stop way faster.

I might postpone the next episode of Crashes Compilation 22 for a day more just to give a better go with the car. Maybe I record a full trip with commentary on this Monday.

My actual only complaint about these cars (besides being limited to the free roam servers) is that you can't take on loads to deliver (trailer pulling is not allowed) so basically the only thing you can do with them is go for a ride.

When you catch every bus with impeccable timing:

Hello. Why there are only 200-400 people on ATSMP ? everyday ?

So I went to an APPLE store today. People got mad at me cause I farted. Too bad they didn't have Windows.... :/ XD

So umm... staffs... Any spoilers for when the new update comes?  Jk. Maybe!

So, everyone having a nice day?

Ready for the weekend?
