Two more 'Toei Animation' videos

Joey had two claims against him while 'Totally not Mark' had 150 claims/strikes. Other people have had this issue also.......

Even Japanese Youtube Vloggers censor anime in their videos because they're fearful of being jailed/prisoned. So much for freedom in a "free world".

Cowboy Bebop Netflix cancelled!

WOOO! We won, again! We won!

Simply put, RESPECT THE LORE. As with Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. Respect the lore of the IP you're tempering with then you won't have to cancel anything. Maybe now they'll learn to make a proper Cowbow Bebop live action instead of hijacking everything then putting their own pathetic political spin on things. Especially with Fay Valentine being "westernized" removing her character and personality. Have to be faithful to the IP 1:1, or as close as possible.

Quote

The project is the latest attempt to reinvent Japanese anime as a live action series that failed to draw viewers following titles such as 2009’s Dragon Ball Evolution, 2017’s Ghost in the Shell, and Netflix’s 2017 movie Death Note. The biggest success in the space so far was arguably 2019’s Alita: Battle Angel, which pulled sizable foreign dollars ($319 million) if not domestic ($85 million).

And that is where they screwed up. They tried to "reinvent" something which should have simply been re-created by being respectful of the lore. It's why Star Wars's 'New Trilogy' flopped and why Mandalorian, Rebels, Clone Wars, Bad Batch, Visions, and now Book of Boba Fett is doing so well. RESPECT THE LORE! Shame Star Trek has been hijacked, can't respect that as I used to. I find it hilarious how Battle Angel Alita did so well and SJWs wanted to cancel her for the most rediculous of reasons. They wanted something genuinely pathetic to win.... I'm glad Battle Angel was well received, even if it was shunned by fake people constantly dragging North American media down hill. Ghost in the Shell was alright, it could have been so much better. Dragonball? Horrendous. Maybe instead of hijacking Japanese IP they need to invent their own again. Not reboots, invent their own IP in America again.

For context. The author is a female and she even warned her audience to be wary of the Netflix show. We listened and now we can get back to quality on that front.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiko_Nobumoto

If you don't fight you just don't win. Not everything in life is "alt-right" and "white supremacy", it's just "common sense". I consider this a nice win for quality sake.

Quote from Skarafass

And what is better when you lose, have a lots of trouble and nothing will change?

For the other stuff, if a game is not allowed in an country, it's not the fault of Steam ... It's a political thing ... Germany and gaming is something like Germany and internet for the political way - Perhaps in 20 years they will say "Ok we should think about this", but they will not really do it (The meaning is more like "we will start to think about to think, when we could start to think about this") = 30 to 40 years later, ore more ...

GEMA is something I ignore, cause my brain sucks ... With no deal they told us, what we have to pay (they never inform the artists and the artists will never see something) - If you have to pay (on the legal way) ... let's say between 150 or 250 for like 12 tracks, the GEMA perhaps will split this and every single track will cost between 2.000 and 5.000 - I found this for an example in perhaps 2008/2009 ... And when more than 100 people could hear this during the same time, we have to pay 50.000 every 3 month ... Oh, and before I forget ... a part of the money is for something like nails or

screws, etc. and other things (sadly for you, I can't look on their homepage, cause my protection works great against websites with a marker for illegal things)

But back to the games, if you want to play a game, that you can't get on the Steam shop, there should be more than one possible ways - And today it's really easy and cheap, and not to forget fast ... During the 90's it was harder, but also not impossible ... But today it is very easy (If you have problems with key-sellers, you can also change the country-ID for location with a software)

So you should be able to play your games, you have an result where you can be happy with ... or you run against the windmill, again and again (and nothing will change) - You only will lose your nerves with the time and it's a frustating thing.

And to change the country-ID is not a damage to the devs, cause you will buy the game, like on the normal way, only with the ID from another country, when your country is stupid - The only thing you have to look - Do you need the other ID only for the shop or every time you want to play the game ... That's all!

Important thing: I only tell you what I know, not what people have to do!

1) You don't know the end results. We're not fortune tellers, though we do have a tongue. We should use our vocal boxes while we are able to

2) This is why you keep pressuring until they do. We have numbers, forums, discord groups, social groups, and etc. No matter what nation you have numbers. The only place that probably can't fight back is China & North Korea, you guys are not them. May be on the fine line of sliding into that zone, you guys can redeem yourselves. If people can cancel nuclear power then you guys can uncancel video games. It sounds like fear.

3) GEMA sounds like an instigator for piracy. Instead of helping they promote piracy.

4) I have my ways of obtaining games that I otherwise wouldn't obtain. Some have been 'bugged', others have been normal. I'm also aware of VPNs, just wish things weren't as stupid because of faux politics and lazy politics.

5) If they don't give in to my various suggestions and feedback I then play another game to then wave in front of the other developers for not doing something. Or I fade out long enough to hopefully see it added in. I do occassional check-ups out of curiousity to see what's new when I'm interested. When someone does something right I praise, boast, and say why they're doing things right. People may look the other way, though any sane mind would make note and correct their errors. Others would rather hide and that is indeed their loss. I play games that want to be played so that is where I go. Rising World, Genshin Impact, Microsoft Flight Sim, American Truck SImulator, etc. I've played them, even if loosely. The other games simply drift into nothingness.

I'm not shy about calling developers out even to the point they have to DM me to explain themselves. Such a case happened with 'Train Life' when I called them out on their generic posting. The main guy reassured me they're trying to do the best they can so I'll see them through from beginning to end. Life willing.

There is reward for "running against the windmill" when you push long and hard enough

WW2 naval game developers disclaimer themselves using "supply and demand" as an excuse even though that's just an excuse in my point of view. It isn't about balance, it's about variety and having fun. It's a game, not a strict theater script. Then you have to fight for co-op and VR modes.... You win some and you lose some. When you win you praise and boast about it.

6) VPN, indeed. I've been considering long and hard if I wanted one and needed one. The more moronic these faux politics keep intervning the more likely I'm going to have to pick up a VPN service.

7) I appreciate your posting. I tried to make sense of it the best I could but please do not give up. Protect what you enjoy or you'll forever lose what you admire. For example, imagine Rising World as a finished game then gradually, bit-by-bit vehicles get removed because it's "offensive", then iron ore because of "faux respect to dead miners", or PNB system being forced to be removed from a game because it's (Word)-Phobic of some sort. PNB allegedly promotes harassment towards Pickle-people, or some silliness like that. Where does it end? You have to draw the line somewhere. Imagine Rising World having its features removed because of faux real world happenings.

Yeah. But yeah, I appreciate your posting. Thanks for your POV, it helps me see alternate angles.

Quote from Skarafass

This fight will never happen, cause the ending is clear ... You will loose! - Believe it or not. In the past I had my fights in different things ...

The problem is, when you want to change something, you have to use your brain ... but when you use your brain, you will have trouble ... In fact this will destroy your future (school, job, etc.), cause "idiots" have no interest to change everything that would mean, that someone could see, what they have done ...

And the next point is, that a lot of younger people learned nothing and they don't understand things ...

It doesn't matter, what you want to change ... Nothing will happen, but you will have a lot of enemies and a lot of trouble ...

The "GEMA" is a "fantastic" example for this - What they do is in fact illegal, but you can't really stop them ... And if you try to make the same thing, you will move to the prison ...

Sorry, that I make this on the short way, but my english is still in Alpha and I don't use a translator - But the short way for all of this ... it's only a fight against windmills ...

I had my fights ... and I lost them all ... Try to change the system and the system will draw you down ...

At least the effort itself shall be recognized. You may lose, but at least having fought it makes everything all the more worthwhile. If you let things be it'll be worse, if you fight it'll be slightly better. It's why I argue with developers, post things, and even make enemies. I used to be passive, I just can't. I just can't be fake and passive as I used to be. I need access to "foreign" media as I desired back in the past. Even Canadians in games, or certain features. If you don't speak up you won't be heard.

I get where you're coming from because I also tend to cautiously skirt the line in reality. When I can I do influence things the best I can. I try to be crafty though still fight back where I can. I'm hearing how a German family killed themselves over forging a Covid certificate fearing they have to go to jail. Or how the police abuse the elderly in the streets. I may not know the solution, I'm just making note of what I'm seeing in this non-gaming situation. At least you fought. Hong Kong fought for their freedom, even though they lost. Their bravery has now been noted in history. It may be coincidental timing with GEMA when I pointed them out they laxxed their rules on Youtube around the same time Red51, Zfoxfire, and others told me to "relax". Maybe I should have, just that coincidental timing means we "won" in some manner allowing Germans to have more breathing room. You need to stand your ground, even against all odds. I want to nudge this back to gaming though so I'll try a transition to Slovakian devs noting lockdown.

Partially relevant, a Slovakian developer noting another lockdown in Europe. I'm happy to hear of a Slovakian game dev, just saddened to hear how it's dividing everything. To these developers the lockdown is viewed as more development time so they found their portion of positivity.

Gaming, music, life.. People are fighting on all fronts. This is the whole thing about "Give them an inch and they take a mile". If you want to get vaccinated, fine. If not, that's also fine. Just as long as you know how to be cautious in the healthy manner then we're fine. That wasn't my point though. I want to keep this whole thing under the "gaming" label so that is where I'll bounce back to.

I'm still fighting to see Canadians in video games, as with encouraging Germans to use the Valve support ticket to put pressure on them, and etc. Being afraid is what they want you to be. Gaslighting, being passive, treating you as if you're an outcast, yeah. That is the storm you have to pass on your journey.

I want to play this Dead or Alive Venus Vacation.

https://store.steampowered.com…VE_Xtreme_Venus_Vacation/

(It's not available in Canada. It may be Canadian cause, or it may be developers fearing the west.)

Granted, I'm an introvert for a reason but when it comes to things I admire I will protect them. Kneeling to others is a sin, unless a genuine sign of respect.

I want to make it absolutely clear that I respect Red51 making Rising World, making a free-roamy game, etc. I may be obnoxious, that's only because I want what's best for Rising World as a fan of it. Back in 2015 I joined because it was the best game (in 2015) for allowing NPCs to be added. It was between Blockscape and Rising World; Rising World won here for me. I was afraid of joining the community, sadly now being the most obnoxious here because people are afraid of voicing their thoughts or afraid of other games to play the game they want. The only time I've seen people speak up is when they hide in Creative/Peaceful mode to then complain about survival elements added into the game......

I may have overstepped my boundaries on GEMA, I'm however seeing a growing frustration of Steam's German gaming censorship. It has to be noted.

----

- Germany's hypocritical Gaming bans:

I've always been on the hunt for Indie games constantly finding out neat open-world lewd games keep getting censored in Germany in a hypocritical manner. According to wikipedia (a source not to be fully trusted) Germany has the biggest gaming ban list, a quarter(?) of which was undone in recent times. Probably around the time GEMA intelligently saw it proper to undo restrictions. I always find it hypocritical how Germany preaches about freedom and political diversity yet they go around banning games, and anime, among other forms of media. You can only hide from your past for so long. Acknowledge your past, be true to yourself and do what's actually right. Same with my fake-minded Canadians.

(Also a loose response to someone labeling me "radical minded".)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…anned_video_games#Germany

Gonna list the games I've heard of and/or played** on the list

• Afro Samurai
• Army of Two
• Bioshock
• Bloodrayne & 2 **
• Call of Duty (all)
• Crackdown
• Dead Island
• Dead Space
• DOOM
• F.E.A.R
• Fallout & New Vegas
• Gal Gun 2
• Gears of War 1 & 2
• Godfather (both)
• Goldeneye 007**
• Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories** (All GTA)
• Left For Dead 1 & 2 **
• Mortal Kombat (all)
• Prototype & 2
• Resident Evil (Most)
• Saints Row (all)
• Sleeping Dogs
• Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni
• Wolfenstein & 3D

The list isn't up to date so you have to add all the other +18 games onto it.

• Silent Hunter 3 (Swastika censored)

• She Will Punish Them (No access via Steam)
• Half-Life 2 (death censored)
• Command & Conquer: Generals (Germany & China both hate these for various reasons)
• (Countless other +18 and "family friendly games here that I'm unaware of)

People REALLY want to play these games in Germany, they're however being denied on Steam. I feel bad for Red51 for having to deal with any rules and regulation Germany side, even with GEMA among others. Even my own postings, but these have to be noted. People are legit getting frustrated they can't play their desired games on Steam.

Quote from Hamurator;3192486000829104193

Has anyone from Germany recently tried to get the game? I just ordered a key from G2A/World_of_games but during the gifting process error 108 appeared saying "Steam prohibits this purchase for your region". From all sides I hear that a simple gift works fine so I'm a bit confused now why it does not work in that case.

Has Steam tightened their region-lock?

F*** Germany is one of the biggest video games markets for users and even developers, the video game industry is by far the biggest value wise entertainment industry, this is a really bad move to anyone who lives in germany, and only makes piracy more prevalent.

(Source: Reddit)

If you don't stand your ground you'll end up losing what you love and hold dear. You can't play your desired games, nor listen to your music and movies. This also probably explains why people wrongly believe Disney was correct in harassing and bullying Gina Carano in a professional environment. I was taught it's perfectly fine to harass and bully people because Disney and the journalists said it was. Let's go violate other people because they said so.

As a Canadian I'm happy I can play most games. Seeing Goldeneye 007 under the ban list should ring as highly insulting. I grew up playing Goldeneye N64 while also proudly boasting about how awesome Perfect Dark is also. I miss those times. I had to fight to rent a copy at Rogers because I was still a kid, it was however the most advance game at that time. Well, if we don't count Sega Saturn, and all those. Those were more advanced, though poorly advertised.

Germans can't even deal with their second form of stress and frustrations because of all these 'red tape' stuff. Even us Canadians have one actual known banned game (Dead or Alive), though that may grow if we allow hypocritical political values to run rampant like a genuine disease. I genuinely want to play that game, I can't. It's region locked because of western hypocritical values.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam…s_all_adultonly_games_in/

Quote

Translation: "Such Content is not allowed in your country"

For those not aware of German laws, pornography is of course allowed in Germany. However, a 'strong' age-verification is required by law - so that children may not access pornography. Steam's enter-date-of-birth age-verification is not considered 'strong' and as such Steam offering adult games in Germany is technically illegal.

Be aware that twitter or reddit or any other website that also allows adult content doesn't use more than enter-date-of-birth age-verification either - so most of the internet is technically illegal in Germany.

Instead of offering a 'strong' age-verification Steam has now decided to nuke all adult games in the biggest gaming market in Europe.

This is a major escalation of censorship for all German Steam users.

Cyberpunk 2077 or any other USK18+ rated games (USK = german rating board for games) should be inaccessible to children as well and as such may be banned next.

Need to pressure both Germany and Steam/Valve to stop being hypocritical over stupid things. I'm not German so I can't fight this war for you, that's for the Germans here to do so themselves. I've given you the information, it's up to you if you want to live like China & North Korea forced to have a radio on 24/7 while not being legally allowed to turn the volume down. Social Credit scores, etc. Then I'm somehow allegedly a "radical". Common....... Grow up. I don't know the subtle cultural side of things so maybe everything here is "taboo" to fight for yourself, or whatever.

But yeah, there are various 'Dead or Alive' titles which won't come to the western world because of these same hypocritical mindsets. So much for freedom and freedom of creativity/expression. So much for being a "free country", etc. I say, in a Canadian light regarding this sentence.

--------

The next time I get Steam moderated (surprisingly, it's been awhile) I'm going to vent and yell at them about this stupid German thing you guys got going on. That is all I can do on my part. I'm trying to help you Germans out. Gaming voids, and everything. We haven't had a proper Silent Hunter 3 sequel since roughly 2006. Granted, we have 'Uboat', that is still rough around the edges.

By the way, 9 months ago someone sent a support ticket. You guys need to keep sending it in, regardless of the maturity of the game. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. People have been 'salami-slicing' territory and your freedom away since the beginning of political human history:

(You're not allowed to do this, that, and even that because it offends me.....)

Hi Lou,

Thank you for your message.

We are currently reviewing the possibility of making available certain content to our customers in Germany. While the review is ongoing, games that the developer has described as including sexual content that is explicit or graphic will only be shown on the German store if they have received a USK rating.

I recommend you keep checking the store to see if it becomes available.

I'm sorry that we cannot help you with this at the moment.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Felix

There are people in Germany who want access to these things whether they're lewd or not. They genuinely contain great gameplay in and outside of the +18 realm. Again, freedom of entertainment & creativity. Protect it.

I've also been keeping track of Australia going on a growing banning spree of games and anime. It's OH so offensive. Oh the horror, OH the humanity. How "offensive". That time and energy could have been better spent saving kidnapped children, or something...... Saving sexual assault victims. But noooo, "entertainment is evil" nonsense.

During the dark times I'm thankful I have anime and other forms of media to stay happy in some way, shape, or form.

A friend shared this video because of Aloe Mano in there. She was bullied off of Hololive by various bullies in all forms of harassment. Online, offline, etc. People calling her house.......

Respect to Aloe Mano of Hololive Holofive o7

Ina sings Spice & Wolf opening, an anime classic..

Fans drawning fanvideos for Hololive.

My happiness, if a little bit. While waiting for Rising World to mature anime is my last salvation, always has been. It's my light while I get insultingly labeled "radical minded" over things we need to protect in life; Dreams of three deaths in one form of family members (one upcoming), and a depressing workplace and life situation. Trying to stay happy while constantly getting the middle finger in various areas. Honestly can't wait for RIsing World to mature, though am trying to be patient the best I can. To those that don't want to see me venting constantly then well..... I don't know what ot say to you. Life isn't sunshine and rainbows. I tried my best being positive. I don't plan to *poof*, I'm however just being "opinionated" while getting insulted almost on all sides for simply being myself using anime as my escapism. And Rising World, to an extent.

Anime is my escapism with Hololive being the only "sunshine and rainbows" currently outside of anime episodes. Lightly with Rising World with recent update.

This post is now blaming both Youtube & Toei Animation abusing the broken Youtube system.

Youtube hides dislike button because big corporations are offended. Kathleen Kennedy, among others. It's not because of "alt-right" or whatever bullcrap you guys been fed, it's because of censorship, plain and simple. Believe what you want, even if the Dislike button was hidden to defend the integrity of Santa Clause, or whatever you guys were told. Surprise me.

Secondly, Toei Animation (in Japan) has gone around flagging and copyrighting various videos on Youtube to remove them. It's going to take 36 years to get his various videos back. I need to know see what Toei Animation works on so I can boycott them also, even by other means.

Doing a quick Google leads me to this:

Quote

Why is Toei Animation bad?

Why does Toei Animation produce poor quality animation despite their age/experience? - Quora. This is mostly due to overworking and deadlines. Toei has to produce these episodes quickly and since they are hand drawn, the quality dips significantly.

They produced some noteworthy anime and titles, just not many to stand out fully.

I bet I'm going to get labeled 'radical minded' again over a bullcrap reason again. Protect what you genuinely hold dear or you're forever going to lose it to censorship. If you don't agree with me then put yourself in a sterile box until you get bored seeing what the world shall become.

- Colony Survival - "I just want to blog & Fake Inspiration":

https://steamcommunity.com/gam…etail/3127183806215894637

I'm absolutely getting highly frustrated with Colony Survival developers. They had a good foundation, etc. I enjoyed the potential with everything, etc. I'm honestly at the point where I want to contact Steam support to refund my game because these Dutch developers want nothing to do with their game. They want to preach politics, blog, and all this sort of nonsense. I'm getting annoyed by it. I've had negative experiences with Dutch people I'm highly wary of them, now more so than ever..... This is just a middle finger to any gamer.

If we're going with F1 then I used to watch it until the FIA censored the race after Ferrari kept winning constantly. Sure, there will be people saying it was boring because you know who would win, that was however the height of F1. Then Kobayashi when he was racing for Toyota would make overly brave and stunning passes. Kobayashi even has a Figma figure in Japan for how he raced in F1. Ever since then I couldn't watch it because the best parts kept being removed. I tried watching it again to find Australians politicalized their Formula 1 races just like with the UK with BLM, and Canadians with hockey mixed with fake politics. All fake politics........

I want to see an actual formal change log for Colony Survival, not some ramblings of political Dutch developers bent on spreading politics instead of their game.

These developers are in no position to be rambling like this. They haven't accomplished anything worthwhile. Rising World has, Azur Lane has, Genshin Impact, .... Nier Automata, among other titles. They've made their statements in the down-low and in the gaming dialogue. I would mention Flight Sim 2020, MIcrosoft isn't honest so they're not on that list. The community, just not the company. The ones I mentioned by name had to say what they wanted to say, especially Nier Automata developers for backing their passion for the game.

I'm honestly annoyed with this fake political bullcrap; fake philosophical take. I want to see a changelog for once. They went on about politics, travel logs, Formula 1, among other wonky "philosophical" takes without implementing them........

WORK ON YOUR GOD DAMN INCOMPLETE GAME!

(Bunch of lazy twats.)

Quote from red51

That's weird Basically the red cross should not interfere with any objects... but I will check out what's going on there

This makes sense. Right now stone behaves like any other item (i.e. first tries to fill the hotbar, then the inventory), but perhaps it would be better to have a more specific handling for certain items

1) I guess it is what it is. We'll find out eventually when I get to playtest o7

2) Nice. It's just weird how it would swamp your hotbar while not going into the main pile in the inventory. Thanks for looking into it.

Quote from red51

[Change] Primitive furnace now has a bigger fuel capacity

I assume I had noted this so I'm glad to see it having a bigger capacity. It just felt weird to babysit it. Though, a certain routine could have been done, though it's neat it's been changed. I'll see about any hotfixes changes later. Thanks Red o7

[Bugfix] Fixed crafting ingredients not being removed correctly when crafting

Was getting so many resources it was hard to tell. Glad you caught this one.

Quote from red51

That's definitely planned

Hype! Always struggle to contain my hype, I can't wait to see what you implement in the end.

(Looks back at the gif in the spoiler in anticipation)

Quote from red51

I guess it will be added with one of the next few updates

Nice.

Someone was curious Steam side also. I guess we'll see it when we'll see it (ready when it's ready).

Quote from red51

Oh, the red indicator may be the helper tool for building. It's disabled by default, but if you've played the demo back in December, that setting is active. You can disable it in the misc settings under "building" (disable "show marker")

Probably. As for why it blocked the ladders has me stumped. It allowed blocks, just not ladders to snap lower. Maybe it is as you say.

Quote from red51

Yeah, we definitely want the lantern to be usable as item

Excellent. I'll add onto this by saying I hope it's similar to how lanterns work in the game 'Dragon's Dogma'. Well, minus the constant refueling. That's up to you though.

Quote from red51

This is a good suggestion, I will put that on our to-do-list!

Nice. Yeah, it was frustrating seeing stone land in my hot bar in #3-5 slots. One ladder goes to find 3-6 stone stacks I'd have to shift+click out. Also, I love that Shift-clicking, glad it's there. Stone should stay with its family, not hoard my inventory heh.

Alright, awesome. Now that's noted time for a rest. Maybe I can Rising World tomorrow evening.

Quote from red51

I agree, that would be a nice addition. Can't say much about them yet unfortunately, first we need to get the world gen and animals implemented, but then we can take a closer look at npcs

I know you've tried with NPC dummies in Java version. I give you props for that. I wish we could have resized them to 15 cm tall, and to as tall as we desired. You tried and I respect that. I know it also goes without saying, I just can't wait for when you look into NPCs and the NPC companions. Hopefully they can interact with the world in a basic manner when you cross that bridge.

Good luck on the world gen, maybe by the time it's implemented we can have fun on the Steam Deck, etc. Or whatever shall happen. Good luck sorting it out. o7

On a secondary side note other games are frustrating me when they don't care about their player base. Hope to eventually see even NPCs being this colourful in the various outfits. (No rush on the outfits, I'm just noting something I saw on my Steam activity for Kurtzpel game)

That's just me though. Wanting to see the best in RW

And for when the time comes I can't wait to see her in the game in one manner or another. Customization, importing models over NPCs Tower Unite/VRChat/Valheim style....

Sorry for the gif, just hyped at the various potentials and the current coolness

Quote from red51

Unfortunately plant growth isn't implemenet yet, that's why it just spawns a fully grown tree

Noticed, and that's fine. I'm even amused it's even implemented this way to fill in voids and gaps. I had a nice chuckle because it actually works.

Quote from red51

Oh, actually the inventory and crafting menu use different buttons: The inventory is opened by pressing TAB (at least that's the default key binding), while the crafting menu can be opened by pressing E. You can, however, change these bindings in the settings.

Silly me. I assumed both tab and 'e' were the same thing. Now that you've made me aware I'm now naturally opening up the inventory with 'tab'.

Quote from red51

We will add a new journal in the future, we also have plans for a tutorial, but these features had a low priority till now (considering there are still so many core features missing in the new version)

Even if it's hastily done in a scribble I wouldn't mind. A quick 20 min job, or I can wait. Either or works, I'm not that picky on this. It would have helped though, for sure. Yeah, I guess you might as well plow forward with bug fixes, blue prints, world gen, then NPCs itself, as you've noted. Now that I know how this game works again it's all good.

Quote from red51

Yes, unfortuantely that's also not implemented yet

Haha. Is it planned to for a recent update or a little down the road?

Quote from red51

Oh, could you elaborate on that? Does that mean you can't play any blocks or objects below Y 290? Could you maybe share a screenshot of that indicator?

I tried to replicate my issue. I couldn't. I'm assuming it may have to do with the straight on placement from where you spawn all the way down to 290. I'm honestly not sure what happened. What I however saw was red indicator as you would in Blender and Unity when centering projects on the field.

I basically stopped at this depth. It's loosely where I dug down. I made a wall behind the other ladder, dug down further getting to 162.
(Had to stop because it was getting too late to test)

I've asked around if someone else could replicate my issue, nobody jumped to assist me. We'll see if anybody sees this post can replicate this issue. Maybe I'll unknowingly bump into the same issue later.

Second batch of feedback:

1) Props to the Menu BGM starting up. (Always in a rush failing to acknowledge this)

2) Lantern - I wish when you pick it up it would automatically stay lit, even if returned to your inventory. It should prioritize an open hand. Or be able to attached to a belt/hip. The lantern is highly handy I could easily span three alternating them around to tunnel away underground. May need some Medieval alternate for this also.

3) I love how torches can be lit and unlit, even staying lit for a good 3 minutes before snuffing out. All lights.

4) I love the auto-walk up/down on elevated blocks. You don't need stairs (Can't recall if in Java or not)

5) Tab is inventory, E is crafting..... I can get used to this now (I complained about this in previous batch). It's not an issue so I'm fine with this. Already used to it now that it's pointed out.

6) I love the running animation when empty handed, something I forgot to note earlier.

7) All the stone needs to find a stack in the main inventory, not the main hotbar.

I wanted to play more sadly having to wait till later. Good luck Red51

Alright, my first playthrough I made note of this in a notepad.

- Amused by the soccerball and soccer net. Random, though necessary and comical. (Eventually found out it despawns. Wish it wouldn't despawn)

- New menu is awesome. Friendlier, more visible. Shows everything you need right in front of you.

- NPC Companions are a must (Friends kept turning me down, or simply unavailable).

- More Medieval Gear desired by others (Armour, civilian, etc)

- Planting trees gives me full grown trees (Saplings to mature trees instantly)

- Some quality of live issues differences between Java and Unity. Certain things are tolerable, others need new learning. Any specifics will have to be noted at a later time. For now, one of them has to be desiring inventory with it going to crafting instead. Frustrating.

- Primitive smelting furnace is a little bit too primitive. Burns fuel far too inefficiently, though probably intended for efficiency purposes and babysitting purposes.

- Scything grass splatters green grass even on brown areas. Grass is like a paint balloon.

- Forgot how to use the Menu wheel. Had to go into Settings to figure this out. (I miss the journal; F1 needs to be more visible. Forget when playing other games)

- Forgot how to rotate items desiring the Java version of rotation of mouse wheel (or so I recall). Probably false memory from other games. Noted to be arrow keys for rotation.

- Storage chest doesn't store stuff (probably intentional).

- The open barrel has to be the best addition into the game yet. You can store loose items in it (not sure how long for despawn), and you can even hide in it by crouching.

- You can hold the soccerball, even loosely throwing it. The open barrel is the best storage device to hold onto any loose soccerballs.

- Primitive spear can be used to stab directly in front, or to hold above and throw. Once thrown, it can get stuck in items that are wooden, or 'light'.

- Trying to use Cylinders and Ladders. Some explanation is needed (even in a journal), to explain how to build. Modular snapping was discovered when I looked into settings and when I was placing items. It's through settings I re-figured out how to use this feature.

- Any water container (Canteen/Waterskin) appears to have unlimited water (for now). Not a problem.

- Can't build below 290. Blockwise, just not placing items. A red X,Y,Z indicator popped up preventing me from building below that, unless it's with blocks.

- Trying to build blocks of different type of the same texture bunches them up into the same primary block type. Stairs turns into the main square blocks of the same texture.

-------------------------

Screenshot with descriptions:

- Grass, when scythed, spreads out texture wise like a paint balloon.

- I love the new inventory menu and auto-sort. I however wish it would default to inventory instead, not crafting.

- Barrels with the open top have to be the best addition yet.

- Chests need storage space (probably intentional, for now).

- I love this barrel addition so much. I wish the soccerball stayed.

- Having fun with spears.

- I wish we could get blocks which compliment the circular hollow cylander at 2.0 x 2.0 size. I have a workaround for now.

- My ladder hole problem with flush blocks. We need something to compliment the hole. Have a work-around for now.

- May be a glitch, may be player error. I had two sets of ladders disappear on me when I was mining around. I heard an 'clunk', it disappeared so I had to make another pair of ladders.

- I wish these blocks would just naturally snap under, not parallel to. When you're dealing with stairs you need them to be fluid, like modular snapping with ladders. The game should automatically assume you're snapping the next layer down, at any grid or shape size.

------------

If possible, can you allow us to have some food? A simple apple tree, or something cheaty, like the saplings spawning mature trees. I spawned in apples, for now. Whatever you can manage.

Because we have Steam forums and this forum I have to mirror my posting there and here. I'll try to give you the brief summary on here.

- Two Month Delay:

Quote

Hello 'Arcticu'

The launch of Steam Deck will be delayed by two months. We're sorry about this—we did our best to work around the global supply chain issues, but due to material shortages, components aren’t reaching our manufacturing facilities in time for us to meet our initial launch dates.
Based on our updated build estimates, Steam Deck will start shipping February 2022. This will be the new start date of the reservation queue—you will keep your place in line but dates will shift back accordingly. Reservation date estimates will be updated shortly after this announcement.
Again, we're sorry we won’t be able to make our original ship date. We'll continue working to improve reservation dates based on the new timeline, and will keep you updated as we go.
To view your updated expected order availability and FAQ, please visit the Steam Deck store page.

Cheers,
The Steam Team

Some of the many items covered in the updated FAQ today include:

- For determining the developers that are seeded with Steam Deck Dev Kits, Valve is analyzing the most-played titles of games for those who have reserved a Steam Deck.

- For those developing/testing without a Steam Deck, Valve recommends using an AMD CPU anyways for as close to the experience of the Steam Deck as possible.

- Valve plans to provide some APIs to help game developers in saving game data/state prior to suspending the device for a better suspend/resume experience, particularly around WiFi/Internet loss.

- AMD FSR will be included as part of a future Steam OS release, complementing the per-game AMD FSR support available already with some titles. This will allow easily using AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution for games not natively supporting it.

- Currently the Steam Deck is on a Linux 5.13 based kernel but working to move to a Linux 5.15 LTS kernel build.

- The main root partition will indeed be a read-only file-system treated as an immutable object. SteamOS updates will be distributed as an entire OS image. Those wanting to can go into the developer mode for mounting the entire operating system as read-write.

- Valve still publicly indicates "no strong preference" whether game developers target native Linux support or go the Proton route.

- Steam OS 3.0 will likely not be available separately to consumers/gamers until after the Steam Deck is shipping.

I hope enough people have pre-ordered the Steam Deck Rising World-side to show how relevant that game and red51 is. That is, if I'm understanding what it is saying. Would really love to see Rising World run smoothly on Steam Deck, especially how not everybody can afford a computer, is on a go, etc. It's also by Japan runs on mobile games because they're always in transit, etc. Maybe COVID is different having people behave different, I wouldn't know. Everything is locked down, I can't travel, etc. I wish Red51 the best of luck on obtaining his dev kit.

(I refused to link IGN and Kotaku articles because they were being a pile of turds . Constantly baiting, even mentioning things we already know. They're milking everything. It's best to hear things from the sources mouth regardless, or an indie site sourcing their sources.)

I'll just post it here on its own because someone got upset at me on the Steam forums.......

For whatever feature the community rejects for any invalid or valid reason should go onto that mod hosting site. This way everybody is happy. If you don't like anything then don't download the mod.

1) Zombies

2) Magic

3) Experimental Features

4) Rejected/WIP projects

5) ???

https://mod.io/

Basically put anything the community hates here because you'll otherwise have a stunted game. I keep calling people out, they keep getting upset at me, so simply just put any rejected or underwhelming feature here. People were divided on magic so it should also be its own thing on mod.io by allowing you to play with basic elementals from there. Flying, fire, snow, electric, etc... Typical fantasy stuff. Red51 (and friends) need to also populate the pool first to spark interest for others to populate things themselves.

Even though people tend to view me as vulgar, arrogant, "loud", or whatever fail to see certain things the way I also see them. Rising World has the perfect opportunity to be the "next big game", as we've seen with Medieval Engineer (granted, developers 'abandoned those games) with how modding is keeping it alive, Skyrim modding, Minecraft, etc. I personally see a big opportunity to have Anime mods (as well as American and European ones) being a big thing on this game. With the proper support people shall do whatever they can.

Zombies for sure need to be a modded thing. There are interested people, they're however being shoved down by paranoia and fear unable to see reason. You try to disclaimer they still tantrum... You just can't win. They ignore everything you say so you can't really can't compromise with them, hence why I'm always hostile and on the offensive. I'm not going to kneel down if the other person won't compromise. Basically put, just put zombies, magic, and anything else on mod.io to seed it for other people to add onto it. The more interest the more support you'll get.

I'm waiting for someone to start whining and moaning how we have to purge mods later down the line...........

Meet me half way and I'll meet you halfway, it's only fair.

Oh Arcticu...

Hope you're not implying anything.

To sum up my previous post:

It's just depressing to see Anime, Youtube, Twitter, etc go down the drain while people openly, yet happily, accept censorship changes while believing anything the main media has to say is correct. Apparently its correct to harass and insult people if you view me as a conspiracy theory, or even "them" (Them = anybody who is viewed as alt-right, or whatever nonsense label people put on others). It's fine to treat people like trash while trying to shovel garbage then guilt trip people into consuming low-grade Hollywood trash with no effort. It's why I watch Anime because that is where the effort is.

It's apparently fine to harass Twitter artists (and Pixiv artists) just because you're offended about something. Twitter themselves even supports harassment campaigns. Youtube dislike button taken away because of Kathleen Kennedy, etc. It's all nonsense. It's as if we're inching closer to China's standards of freedom of speech and creativity. No joke.......

December 1st? I'm in. Looking forward to what you have to share even if I have to deal with a possibly howling computer. Curious what's hidden in the changelog. I'm also loving the mention towards the new furnace implementation, the changing colours of lights, etc. This is an update I can actually playtest.

I'm getting highly frustrated because Anime is always being attacked. Even how any good 2020+ American media is viewed "sub-par" because of some weird new modern standards. I've called out Hollywood's stunts as SJW, faux-politics, etc because any good movie gets shamed, bad movies get supported by journalists claiming people are "sexist", Alt-Right, or "phobic" when it's a genuinely trashy media. I wish we could have free European media as in the past (1990's), as well as support any awesome current American movies while weeding out the genuine bad ones freely. I miss watching those obscure European and South American movies...... Whenever we get something neat from North America now it's now constantly put under a microscope to degrade it into nothing while always use check-boxes to grade it in a very unintelligent manner. This is far more true when it comes to devaluing Anime to discredit it.

When we look at anime people then have this very moronic POV on it (even fearful) the point they dismiss everything, ignorant about what Anime actually contains. Anime can go very deep in a very philosophical manner (even if I was told it wasn't by fake people on Youtube comments). You'd be surprised how deep Anime actually goes. It's just something you can't get in North American movies, media, or content as much, or anymore. People then try to defend Marvel and DC. It isn't what it used to be so I can't support, nor defend it. Sure, back in the 1950's to 2000's, sure. Anything over 2010, nah. Once Tumblr took over that industry everything went rock-bottom.

Just look at how 'The Tomorrow War' was pulled apart in a very insulting manner. Looking back, the good movies I've enjoyed.....

I'm sure there is more, and there are more. They're however from the 1990's during the height of great American movies. I'm struggling to find anything good 2010 plus because its harder to find, scrubbed, or not in demand. I'm constantly seeing praise for Gina Carano being bullied and abused even though that comes off as hypocritical from people when we should be treating staff and employee properly. What the journalists and Disney said about Gina Carano is genuine slander. I genuinely want to see more Star Wars Visions over any more hypocrisy.

Disney taught me it's morally correct to use and abuse people in a highly abusive manner. It's fine to treat people like trash. Even the various journalists praising Disney over abusing Gina Carano are teaching people it's fine to treat other people in a harassful way. That is the message I'm getting from people. It's fine to be abusive.

Anime artist Sakimi-chan targeted by hate campaign:

I'm going to assume ResetEra is once again behind this abusing the report button to where Twitter is openly and willingly restricting anything anime, including Sakimi-chan. Of course I'd be pissed, and people are allowing this form of censorship because they believe whatever the media tells them. Of course I'm not fine with this, and I feel bad for Red51 having to decide if he wants to scold me or not over these sorts of post. Every day, week, or month we're seeing more censorship to the point even Youtube is hiding the dislike button thanks to the stupid moron, Kathleen Kennedy, being offended over the constant dislikes. Oh, but it's fine because the media said it was..... Yeah, sure. Whatever...... If the media told you to fuel up a car with water I'd bet $100 Canadian people would actually do it........ I'm sure people have done it regardless of what the media has told people.......

We're not allowed to speak our minds, express our genuine dissatisfaction. Instead, we're being taught faux-politics to the point drinking water turns you alt-right, or homophobic, or whatever nonsense. Of course I'm frustrated. If the media was to spotlight me I'd be viewed as Alt-Right, even though I simply want to play Rising World, watch my uncensored anime 'raw', and watch things as they were back in the 1990's.... Pure, fun, and highly expressive. But no, I'm allegedly crazy, Alt-right, or whatever.......

I understand this is a gaming forum, even so....... Poor Sakimi-chan, poor Japanese Pixiv artists, European games, etc. Everything is becoming sterilized and people are allowing it......... I even feel bad for Red51 having to constantly see these threads..... It just never stops...... Ignoring it makes it worse.

- Microsoft Flight Simulator - The Simple things (Canadians):

To add to my constant vent about Canadians in gaming I'm happy another void has been filled recently. Flight Simulator 2020 had a recent update bringing in new planes, F/A-18, and more content allowing for more fun and exploration to be had. (SU7 Update). Even the Reno DLC. It's been a blast testing things out when I had a chance to do so. I also need to bring this thread back up again because it's always the simple things which makes things better when either the developers or the community fill in voids other people refuse to do so *Cough*WW2NavalDevelopers*Cough*.

It's honestly the simple things people do that allows things to be so much better and more enjoyable. F/A-18 now has a Canadian theme for us Canadians to show our pride.

https://flightsim.to/file/2382…ghter-squadron-nighthawks

It's so simple. It's as simple as Flight Sim has shown. But no, 'Minor nation', 'balancing issues', "too much work", I'm "ignorant", or whatever nonsense developers tend to tell me. I've been the happiest with Flight Sim, as I was with FSX, and now with MFS2020. I had fun flying freeware Canadian planes from Twin Otter, Water bombers, military planes, etc. The Twin Otter is set to release "soon" for MFS2020, and I can have fun with this F-18 under Canadian colours. People can't comprehend the fuss, or refuse to understand. It's simple things like these which means a heck of a lot. Simple things of having this sort of respect means a lot.

Heck, even Rockcliffe community add-on which adds onto an Avro Arrow display.

https://flightsim.to/file/23861/cyro-rockcliffe

I already downloaded that mod. It makes that airport more attractive when I'm used to taking off from Carp in the Ottawa region. I may try taking off from Rockcliffe from now on because it also has the Avro Arrow there. Heh.

I genuinely wish game developers could comprehend logic the way Ubisoft Romania had by giving Canadians their own banner, and Canadians their own identity (not as payware milkcows) in Flight sim, and not in World of Warships or War Thunder. I'm genuinely near zen flying in Flight Sim with my roommate commenting I may break my computer overplaying Flight sim. If it means I can fly Canadian planes and themed planes then who the heck cares. Sure, I'll vent. I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

----------------

I may have pissed off a developer at 'Train Life' for attempting to be neutral coming off as hostile by mistake. We'll see how that goes. I may have come off as aggressive. I'd rather piss off a WW2 game dev over a train sim developer. They've friended me on Steam so I'm curious to see what their tone shall be once they manage to reach me. It's been 4 days since I made a rambly post to which one of them wanted to contact me.

----------

In Short: Another void has been filled this week. Keep filling them gaming voids in! More Canadian representation added making us all happy. WOOOO!~

Mechanic for smelting ores in furnaces. This works very much like in the Java version, i.e. furnaces won't have a UI, instead you place the ores in the furnace directly.

Unlike the Java version, the new version introduces a few "Quality-of-life" changes, i.e. the ability to take all ingots from the furnace at once.

Nice. I'm actually happy with this change. It'll make those complaining about it happier. It'll still have that realistic weighted touch to it so that shall be fine.
