MP supports the brand new and awesome Dragon Design Pack for ATS but not the Christmas Paintjobs Pack DLC that came out earlier this week for ATS. What even? :\

Heya, fellas! Today's Friday and I'm gonna hit the road! Let's explore some North American places on American Truck Simulator, shall we?

Been watching a lot of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on YouTube, recently. Really enjoying it! Surprisingly informative considering it's technically a comedy show.

No stream today. Sorry guys! I'm just too tired to think straight enough to livestream. -.- zzZ I'll be streaming normally on Friday, however!

Follow me on Twitch to catch it!

P.S: I'll be going through all tags and posts wishing me a happy birthday very soon. I didn't forget! 

Guys, do you know if a GTX 1060 would bottleneck on a Core i5 760 2.80GHz in any way?

I just submitted my CV to a job posting for a home-office position with requirements that match my experiences, with one exception. Doesn't hurt to try, though. Wish me luck, I guess?

"Hmm, yes. I is teh IT kitteh and I has found ur problm. U has a mause."

My Steam is being awfully slow today, for whatever reason. It's not its connection, though, but the program itself. Quite weird. Been like this all day and restart it or the computer didn't fix it. 

Wanna see something really funny?

I'm dying, here! XD

That moment when you write down a report on a user that ISN'T currently banned but right before you click on "Submit Report" he gets banned and the time you spent rendering and uploading the video evidence and writing the description of the report goes to waste.

Oh well.... might as well go ahead and share the video, I guess.

And with this piece of amazingness I bid you all a good night!

I think that zoo is outdated.

? ? ? ? ? ?

Let's hope so! Even though it's unlikely.

Oh boy! I just uploaded my 99th video report!  Now I wonder what the 100th video evidence will contain and when it will happen. lol

Whoever convinced me that camp in Britain was a good idea was either trolling me or completely forgot about the crappy weather. :I

Remember when I mentioned I wanted to do a short playthrough of Gulman? Well, I did. :I

Got my free DLC key for the new steering wheels!  Have you got yours yet?

I got my free Michelin DLC soon as the giveaway started and tried it out. There is something quite neat that I came up with and I want to show you. Soon as I get enough time I will record it. Stay tuned.

Should I start including player's avatars next to their credit name on my Crashes Compilation series?

It may not be as charming as Draco Pete, but I'm loving it. :3

By the way, fellas. Do be aware that International LoneStar dealers do not yet have an NCZ, therefore, you will crash into others if you are not careful, there.

Well, apparently I am going to be reported...

For scoring a goal for my team by accidentally stealing the goal from my teammate on Rocket League, just now. Who's going to report me for it.

wat

He got SO mad at me for scoring twice that when our third teammate scored, he insulted us and quit the server. lol XD

Out and about for a pleasantly peaceful drive on ATS and after driving by two cities, only now I realized the floor of the car is missing textures. lol

Anyone getting this problem on the Scout? I'm thinking about reinstalling MP so maybe that'll fix it, but I'm too lazy to do that, right now.

Still about that Pentium 4 system I have spent the past few days playing with... (https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/profile/666-mike-dragon/&status=114783&type=status)

I can now finally say I am done playing with my "new toy". I've setup Windows 2000 Professional on it as if I was preparing the PC for my own daily use and I had fun doing it. I had fun seeing the things I expected to work, working, I had fun troubleshooting what didn't, I had fun figuring out the ethernet driver, the anti virus and I even installed Photoshop on it and spent part of the Sunday making a wallpaper for Windows 2000. And yeah, I did make the wallpaper on Windows 2000 on that Pentium 4! 

Though as I said, I have finished "playing" with this system for the time being. I'd like to build it into a case and have it ready for regular use but I lack the space in my house to install yet another computer (I already have three in my bedroom and I can only have two of them on at the same time) so since all the parts are working well and I have decided not to build it into a complete PC as of now, I have separated the parts and put them in boxes of their own then put these boxes together into a bag and put them away somewhere safe. But before I took it all apart and stored them, however, I installed a floppy drive I had stored for years. I didn't remember if it was working so it was also a good chance to get it tested. I have a lot of floppy disks around so find a few to test was no trouble. And gladly, the drive works perfectly well!  So I set it to be stored with the other parts. All this system needs to be a usable PC is a case and power supply of its own.

Oh, and here's the wallpaper I made:

You know... it is a old system and it is quite outdated but this has been a fun project to play with and I am happy that everything in it works like new. This would have been a great system back in the day for the specs it has:

- Gigabyte GA-VM800PMC

- 2x 512 MB of DDR2 RAM

- 256MB ATI Radeon 9250

- 80 GB hard drive

- DVD RW drive

- Floppy disk drive

- Windows 2000 Professional

It ran everything I've thrown at it (I've used software that the OS and hardware is capable of running, of course. You can't install and run the latest Google Chrome or the newest Forza Horizon on Windows 2000 with a 256 MB Radeon 9250, for example) and didn't crash or showed slowdowns not even once. And what's the coolest is that Windows 2000, once fully updated, can still be used as a "daily driver" OS, even today. As such, in a pinch, I could use this computer for some more basic tasks every day if I wanted to. It browses the web, it is protected by Avast! and I can type Word documents as well as watch videos and listen to music on Windows Media player and even watch DVDs. I've always liked Windows 2000. Too bad I never actually used it back in the day, when it was fully supported by everything.  Such a good OS!

Good evening and happy Friday! o/ Quick message to let you know that today's stream is gonna be a little late by more or less 30 minutes. The reason? I am hungry. lol Gonna play GTI Racing today, though.

That moment when you turn on your second PC and smashes the F12 key on your wireless keyboard to bring up the boot device selection menu to choose the second hard drive to boot from before the OS begins booting and then Windows 10 boots up instead of the menu for you to select the Ubuntu hard drive and you finally realize that the keyboard was turned off:
