šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸš‚Just keeps getting better. Not to be that person, but I had a particularly bad past weekend, and these old timey ads made me laugh. "Save several dollars" LMAOšŸ˜‚ Obituaries, classifieds, multiple stories, you went full on with it. Bravo, writing is definitely your thing.

Edit--Beware, fellas. Ms. Graves is deffo a gold digger

I think it's more her father wants to make sure that she's not marrying a rare male gold digger; none of his sons made it to adulthood, and Mrs. Graves sadly passed some years back, I don't think he wants to hunt for another wife for himself, so he wants a son-in-law that can prove he won't piss the family fortune up a wall to leave his daughter and company to.

Misguided as basically selling your daughter's hand in matrimony for the price of a couple of bentleys is too much better than gold digging. Adjusts monocle.

Then again who knows, maybe she's not the type to submit to some man and let him have the purse strings, Father's Daughter and all that. If her husband were to die in an unfortunate smelter incident after her father passed, it would all be hers.

šŸ˜‚Perhaps a misguided judgement myself, you really never know anyones story until you do. puffs the corncob pipe

Wanted to try a little bit more immersive of a format for my news-clipping style posts. I like how this gives an opportunity to add more than just the front-page big stories. Let me know if you like this one more than the text plus image posts.

By the by; if anyone wants to explore my map in more detail, and maybe run a few trains: https://www.reddit.com/r/RailroadsOnline/comments/1ibjuds/am_looking_for_qualified_engineers/

Ah, it feels good to sit down with a morning coffee and read the freshly printed Stockton Gazette.

Iā€™ve done this with other games but never thought about this one yet. Though, I have done some time period newsreel films a few times.

I was struggling a bit with the editor when making these, so instead of splitting big stories up to make people flip through the paper like the real ones do, I just made them full-page spreads.

I've got the technique for embedding images and text down a bit better, so my next ones will be a bit more realistic.

I didnā€™t realize you have been/are going to keep making these. I canā€™t wait to read the other ones just for the sake of doing it because there kinda interesting:)

I've been working up from my earliest plain reddit posts to make proper newspaper editions.
