Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

seriously just watch this
If not for their beer making abilities the whole country would be a lost cause.
I would do that if I could drive one of these:
Bonus points if I'm driving across a post-apocalyptic landscape, and my precious cargo is... hope.

Buying two mid-range cards to get the power of a top-of-the-line card is silly, I agree.
Buying one card when you build the computer and upgrading graphics by buying another one 1-2 years later when the price plummets is smart.
Buying two top-of-the-line cards is somewhat silly, but is the only way to have the most powerful computer possible, which is what some people are spending money for.
the best one was "street cleaning simulator"
i saw that and figured it had to be a joke, but nope
apparently germans like it

If I was a huge trucking fan that wanted to spend hours dicking around driving a truck, I'd pick one up.

it's expensive
and the certificate needed to work as a driver is even more of a hassle
Didn't you confess to enjoying one of those Sega Bass Fishing simulators a few years back?
I blame their game rating committee. It's like a hostage situation. So many games are banned in Germany they're desperate for anything they can get.

if we're talking about the take-the-piss gfx cards that cost thousands that's usually what they already are anyway, two higher end cards bolted together in one housing

not to mention good luck finding someone who will pay you to be a trucker for a couple of hours a night as and when you feel like it

sounds like it would be a few hundo
so 20-30% of the system cost for mid range?
not worth it!
*pounds gavel*
That said, if you do not have a monitor/keyboard/mouse already, lots of the bundled machines sell them cheaper.
Also, if you do not have a legal copy of windows (and want to be legal) that eats 100-130 dollars of your savings.
On the flip side, you may end up spending a few hours on a store-bought machine uninstalling adware, malware and shitty antivirus apps.
I found a program that covers all training up to commercial certification for $4800. You might be able to go lower by shopping around. If you don't need training, then that's much less, but I don't know how you would avoid training unless you had some kind of magical computer program that let you pretend you were driving a big rig, but no one's ever going to bother making that kind of thing. After getting the certification, you just need to make sure you play enough Real Lift Trucking Simulator to earn back five gs, and you're set.
If it costs more than that in Norway, move to a less commie country.
I'm a nice friend, so I'll cut them some slack if they're trying to save money, is basically why it's 20%. But I'm pretty good at upselling unless I know they're broke. If they're just cheap they get the "$150 minimum, no 'you built this, so help me figure out why I can't download this email attachment' talk."
Most people settle on that $800 computer that'd probably cost them $1200 from best buy.
haaaate. It gets easier when you've been in the same place 7 years, but you still have to look up information you don't tend to think about (like how much those traffic tickets you got 3 or 4 years ago were, etc)
That's still a lot of time and effort, and obsession with trucking is not a requirement in order to enjoy Euro Trucker
The biggest boon is you can spend money on an actual performing video card. Most of the ones in store boughts for $600 are shit. Like, 3 generations ago shit.
So, buy your $400 PC, and drop $200 on a video card, boom, now you can play games on high instead of low.
or you could play trucking simulator, not spend 5gs, and have your regular job, which probably doesn't have as horrible hours.
Well also make sure that the PSU isn't shitty.
There's this Greek that pays me a bit every now and then to ship up chemicals from the Fairfield docks.
if I enjoyed pretending to be a trucker occasionally I should move out of the country.
some people just want to play a game about driving a truck around!
That ... doesn't sound right.
truck simulator costs quite a lot less than training to be a driver and then buying your own truck then?

Well, that, and you should move out because you don't live in America.
Get on our level, learn how to freedom.
