Just found this video from an "abridged" version of the March Roadmap on the TSC Discord server. Had a good laugh about it. I wonder how much truth is in this. Especially the answer about the community route suggestions I can partwise agree to . I didn't noticed that the Class 66 is in 15 routes. It's even used in Germany. Seems to be a stable work horse for diesel routes all across europe. Also a nice little detail that the sound is so extremely loud in the beginning.
I'm going to sue the creator of this video, the OP & DTG Matt for causing me mental harm by the means of Class 66
Special order 66... Excellent video. Not sure if they are frowned on these days but was there ever a DTG spoof done for the infamous "Downfall" bunker clip?
The Class 66 in many of those routes is just the RRTT version doing rail cleaning. =-) Not really glamorous but necessary I guess.
This was incredibly funny to watch - it's also the type of humour I personally enjoy, and I am genuinely honoured to be parodied. I will see if I can find the creator from the Discord to thank
As people already stated to you on Discord, it's by a user called Mikey(Mikey9835). (Edit: I think the creator posted in this thread). This is the original post. Seems it was meant to be for April 1st Fools Day but he already released it at 8th of March. P.S. I liked your face when Matt dived into the details about the Class 66.
Mmmmaybe. Thank you It was made in good faith, I decided to keep it family friendly and didn't want it to be insulting. I didn't think people would enjoy it this much but maybe I could do something with the June roadmap when it comes out...
Yes, that is the best way to make jokes. Neither did I. I just found your post randomly recommended a few days ago as the second post in my inbox (don't know how that happened to be honest). Then after a few days I posted it here. I thought of is it right for the discussion forum or should I rather place it in the Offtopic Forum? Is it even okay to post it here at all? But I just did and never expected that feedback. Now the most curious thing is it's almost 3 months after your post on Discord, and suddenly your video blows up - just like the weird YouTube algorithm which sometimes can present a video to thousands of viewers years after its upload for no reason. In the end, I wonder why noone else from Discord posted it here sooner. Oh, yes.! That would be nice!
But the abridged Roadmap video is just fun and no accusations, while this is rather an "in your face" punch to anyone involved at DTG. I don't think one really can compare both equally. Though I partly agree, some statements should have been better worded in regard to the actual development stage in the past to not play with people's trust too much.
Just watched both videos at work. I genuinely laughed out loud :'D Great break on a nerve wracking day
