Valve Index is still Selling Strong:

WoooO! And fake people said "VR is dead". Screw them! VR is here to stay, whether they like it or not. They can read all the dooms day articiles on the web, Valve Index is noted to be in third spot next to Oculus Rift S & Quest 2.

Sucks to be Oculus because you have to constantly hear political preaching about BLM, forced to use Facebook (if banned, everything is deleted), and tied to their bloatware. Once Steam releases their standalone wireless headset things are going to be balanced once more.

Standalone headsets from other companies need to be made to topple Oculus's moronic monopoly.

Because I forced the Genshin Impact post out in a hasteful manner I had to go back and edit various portions with edits and fixes. Hopefully it makes sense now, or you guys probably don't care. Probably more focused on Rising World updating, something I don't blame you for. While editing my posting above I came across something I just had to quickly note.

World of Warships - HMCS Huron Addition (Compromise):

It appears the developers at Wargaming have come to a resolution/compromise over alleged abuse, something I 80% believe. I also believe 20% was also the two folks own fault with personal desires playing a part in all this.

HMCS Huron shall be added to the line-up, something which should have been added in the first place. The destroyers, Light cruisers. I'm still amazed a 2006 game called 'Silent Hunter 3' can freely add in Canadians while other game developers make up the laziest of excuses of "minor nation", and other brainless comments. Still nice these folks could come to an understanding.

Instead of only adding in Canadians as a cash-cow element (or ignoring them for lazy reasons), it be awesome to simply have Canadians out of pure passion for making games. Game developers forgot how to implement features simply out of love and desire for making a game. Similar to how Star Wars Battlefront 2 (the classic) added in the Battle of Kamino because they had extra time. Never enabled, though modders were able to piece the puzzle together.

I miss the love and passion from Japanese and European games, though they do tend to pop up every now and again. Rising World is it, as with a handful of others. Shame game developers view Canadians as "trash" though. Screw them. The more they resist the more harm shall come their way, and how their game ends up being forgotten in the long term. There is a reason 'Silent Hunter 3' keeps popping up and why I keep hyping it up........ Witcher done by Polish developers, and etc. Yeah.

You folks probably assume I've lost it, or am wrong. If only you guys could see what is actually happening.

-----

In case it was missed:

I wish Chobittsu had the mentality of a passionate Japanese gamer because they fear actual feminine traits in their character representation. As a female French Canadian they fear woman being woman.... Fake politics tends to drip from the cracks not allowing their full creativity to take over.

The above is their take on HMCS Yukon, and I do respect it. Just lacks certain charms. They've noted in a comment how they fear USS Bremerton because she is "lewd", or "showy". So? Maybe certain conversation points were lost in a game of 'telephone' (lost in translation), I however do not see Bremerton being "showy" as a problem. Proper American woman (even traditional European woman) enjoy being showy, unless they're the SJW types who later adopt cats because they can't hold a significant others. Japanese mangaka artists enjoy self-projecting themselves into other character types having their created female characters being "showy", as with Neptunia anime. Azur Lane is ripe with this stuff, and it's good we have this. We love beauty. North Americans keep punishing themselves needlessly to the point we (Canadians & Americans) are known for having high strokes and heart disease problems. No wonder...... (granted, food is also the problem)

I see nothing wrong with Bremerton, especially in warmer climates. Asian games tend to be true to their nature while western games tends to censor everything. Why Asian games are popular (always has been) and western games not so much. There are gems here and there, they however don't last. Mob mentality, tribal mentality just to feel accepted tend to make games popular, though briefly, when you look at Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and other "popular" games because people simply don't know any better. Accessibility. If they were aware they would choose games they would actually find interesting. Half the time it's to fit in with a special crowd because of how we're social creatures.

-------

My point was I'm happy Wargaming came to a compromise, something other developers need to learn from. Just add in Canadians (and other features/elements) without making the lamest excuse. Also, if you're a helper in the community you need to encourage creativity, not shun certain elements for political beliefs. There is a legit reason why Asian games are constantly overpowering western game formats. You can think I'm crazy all you want, do a Google.... Manga is outperforming American comics because Americans love their politics......... I love my games

Still on the topic of "filling in the void", I HAVE to cover Genshin Impact because of the whole western corruption and eagerness of the Asian market. One side slacks, another picks it up. Red51 may hate me for this because I'm advertising a game, though it's on a note of developer corruption. I still respect Red51, though feel a strong necessity to post this just to make note of a certain point, probably going over various peoples' heads.......

Critiques of Genshin Impact:

Part 1: Pon

Part 2: Another World/Isekai

Part 3: Escape

Part 4: "Waifus"

Part 5: A second side (Gacha)

Part 6: Conclusion:

----------

(Azur Lane character from the Dragon Empry faction)

Part 1:

I can agree people love the whole surprise factor when it comes to winning prizes. Rising World has it through finding chests, biome generation, etc for looting while other games has it for characters themselves. Thankfully, you don't spend real money for Rising World's form of 'gacha'. Like gambling, you eventually obtain what you loot, even from a bandit or fishing. F/GO has the worst gaming mechanics, and is even xenophobic to the point they region locked, IP banned, and all the random nonsense. KanColle was my actual main game from the Japanese side dealing with in game RNG Gacha to the point it became too salty. RNG mechanics no longer was RNG, it was scenario based to the point your actions no longer mattered. Those Japanese forgot what fun was making game mechanics so painful to the point you could legit obtain a stroke, or even a heart attack. It's because of KanColle's forgettfulness of what "fun" is that others and myself both migrated to Azur Lane and Genshin Impact, now happier for a more addicting gameplay. I do spend money, I try to be sensible. I try to limit to my limit instead of going over my monthly earnings limit.

(Ayaka in Mondstadt.)

Part 2 & 3:

With our world being cruel and monotoned at times we desire an escape. Games are our escape, hence why morally corrupted individuals constantly want to hijack it to preach at us, something Asian media simply focus on entertainment. We want to be free, or seek beautiful things. We love admiring the feminine form, the gorgeous sakura trees, or even whatever Rising World has to offer. The landscape, the vehicles, our own proudly built structures, or even default ones, and etc. Movies, cartoons, anime, etc are now our main escapism because people are now morally politically corrupted. Isekai genre in anime is a big thing allowing people to visit landscapes and worlds they otherwise wouldn't; A temporary bubble. Even examine "what if" scenarios.

Both KanColle and Azur Lane allow us to see warships in their humanoid form as we take command and battle the enemy with them. Becoming appropriately intimate with vows & rings. Nothing more, though there is more in the form of lewdness, that is simply natural when it comes to human procreation. As with Rising World, we love hiding away in our own version of the world doing our OWN thing. Our own pace, etc. As with Minecraft, now Rising World, we love doing our own thing. Exploring

Genshin Impact rewards you for exploring every inch of the land. Looting, harvesting, swimming, gliding, climbing, etc. Scenery is beautiful. The view distance is far and wide attracting you to visit far off lands. Something we're also bound to see in Rising World (unity) "soon". Can't wait to have these sorts of beauties unchained when it comes to Rising World Unity version.

With how political everything has become, as with entertainment becoming gradually more and more taboo, people are finding it harder to enjoy pure entertainment. Everything is becoming a sin, and taboo to the point everything is "no fun allowed". People gaslight, people void other peoples' opinions. It's horrible. Genshin Impact (as with Rising World, AND Azur Lane) allow us to hide away from these SJW political freaks pushing their various agendas, and any other external negative threat. Don't believe me? View how Manga is outperforming DC & Marvel comics in America. People want to escape to more beautiful environments uncorrupted by mentally corrupted clowns and their school/workplace. People want to enjoy the serene beauty of a gorgeous landscape, proper characters, cool music, and awesome features. No politics, nothing. If politics, has to be own lore related, as it naturally goes. Corrupted SJW clowns keep interjecting games has politics. Yes, but not their stroke-inducing nonsense. Genshin Impact is fun, as is Rising World, and any non-political game.

There is a reason Anime & Manga is outperforming anything American, as with Asian games. Westerners lost their passion, I simply wish they would regain their lost intellect and creativity. Everything feels stunted.

(Noelle fighting enemies in a gorgeous scenery)

Part 4:

In a world where entertainment is "sin", we constantly desire beautiful viewpoints and enjoyments. I admit I fall under the "waifu" bandwagon having claimed my fair share of "favourite" feminine characters all because the real world appears to lack actual females in it. It's only natural to admire these fictional characters (both male and female), to the frustration of morally corrupted woman out there. The fake SJWs shaming, forgetting we live to procreate, impress/court, and to allow another generation to live on. We seek mates, to share experiences. We seek friends to feel companionship, something "friendship" is viewed as "lewd" or "gay". There is no loyalty in life, or little. Best friends are viewed as "lovers".... Such a cruel world prevents genuine friendships.... With these waifus in mind the next best thing are "friends" in the real world, or even waifus in the anime world when you're socially shunned constantly for no real proper reason. People gravitate to beauty. Not purely anime as people have been found going female companions in western games with Raid Shadow Legends, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, etc. I admire all my "waifus" in Azur Lane as they come off as more human than the actual human folks in my world. More engaging, inviting, and playful. This ties in with Part 2 & 3 as SJWs taint the world with monotone workplaces while people seek beauty in life. Like paradise... Indiana Jones finding treasure.

We love seeking beauty in the world. Seeing gorgeous waifus (or man, for woman) is similar to taking a stroll through the forest as it recalibrates your body to natural frequencies, something hippies also corrupted. We've lost our way in life. I love raising my shipgirls in Azur Lane, as much as I love leveling and ascending them in Genshin Impact. They have this charm that tends to be lacking in the real world as relationships tend to lack various elements. Everybody is too cruel and lengthy with each other.

There is a reason why we love our waifus. Asian developers know how to tap into desire while North Americans have been found to be skittish. Afraid. Everything is "abusive", even someone who French-Canadian and woman. Asians love being "showy" while North Americans come across as being more painfully "reserved". I recall when European woman were expressive in various ways, now they're just as corrupted as any North American. It's depressing. Hence, why people seek out waifus in games and other outlets because real woman failed them.

(This art is a fan-made interpretation of what HMCS Yukon would appear as. It is indeed awesome, it however lacks certain charms due to the artist's fears of how "lewd" other shipgirls are. Woman aren't allowed to be woman, hence why this art comes across as lacking various charms. It is impressive, and I do respect it, though Chobitsu noted in a comment how they dislike how Bremerton was mostly swimsuit while Yukon had to be tattered and rugged. Fears ruin art is my point. Asians tend to be more expressive, and are shunned by westerners for that.)

(Musical beauty, why we love games focused around art and gameplay)

Part 5:

Gachas are indeed cruel, though gain a necessity in longevity and server costs. I hate gachas because they tend to stunt the gaming industry, especially World of Warships when it comes to 'Silent Hunter 3' type open world games. Everybody tends to copy World of Warships, not Silent Hunter 3 for inspiration. It sucks. Without gacha though these games may not survive on casuals, though there are steady streams if game is fun. Genshin Impact has proven to be fun, hence the support. Same with Azur Lane, and actual games with proper gameplay elements. These two games have constant trending hashtags how people admire them. People love it, also because it isn't political with fake western politics. It is a proper escapism, and you can even play the game for free. I love the music. You always see SJWs hating on Genshin Impact because it does not kneel to their desire, as with how Anime refuses to lower itself to these corrupted morons. People love their escapism, as do these games, even if it's simply exploitative for business. We are aware it is exploiting us, though it also rewards us with their charm, characters, and other elements.

The game constantly updates with new features, minigames, characters, among other coolness. I love Genshin, even if it's sadly stuck in online mode. I wish you could play it in offline mode, though people would hack the game to mod in characters they wouldn't have, etc. It's a touchy subject. You need to sadly play this with an active internet connection, something Rising World beats any day. Co-op mode is nice, but only for farming items, bounties, and small things. No partnering in a quest or story mission.

(Lisa reading her book in Liyue, a Chinese territory)

(Gacha, at its worst and finest. A necessity to keep games alive.)

Just look at that beauty! Rising World can compete in the landscape department, and the music, sadly has yet to do the same in the character department. Rising World needs to do real work to allow beauty found in the Asian gaming market when it comes to teaseful and appealing characters of both genders. Rising World has made progress. Once red51 and friends nudge customization to this level Rising World shall do so much better, as with any other game also. Modding is where Rising World shall shine and I strongly hope it will take full advantage of it by tapping into the Japanese and Chinese modding community. Swimming, climbing, gliding.... Yeah. Music especially. Fighting, combat, farming, housing...... Even taking care of your companions as you get to know them. Key features. It is all important.

---------

Western game developers need to relearn how to make games fun, and less political again. Games need to be made for fun again, not for political speeches to put down players saying they're worthless. This is why Chinese and Japanese game developers always end up winning because of various corrupted western mentalities........ You can ignore my postings all you want, it just means we'll have more crappy games until developers do what is right again.

Still waiting on Rising World to mature. I'm being patient while noting things as we wait.

Holy <Redacted>, it appears we've lost another good hit to the fake woke mob. Then people wonder why I'm always angry, and I'm playing more and more eastern made games from China and Japan while patiently waiting for Rising World to update to its previous point in Java. We've lost GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas to the fake gamers on Tumblr/Twitter/ResetEra who want to claim everything is offensive in the world.

The trilogy is being revisioned to "more modern audiences", such as the 100 people on the internet from Twitter/Tumblr/Resetera. Yes, I'm echoing what Yellow Flash not, it's still true regardless. I also say this because I've seen banks cater to a non-existent customer base of imaginary gender identities while not doing their job when it comes to dealing with legal matters with my father. No phone call, or an e-mail. I always had to prompt them. I'm still waiting for that "professional" banker call or email. Still haven't. Maybe I should go trans gender maybe they'll care about me then.

Westerners are becoming more and more insane, as am I from their idiocy. Can't we just play games without the political nonsense and fragile nonsense.........

Then you guys wonder why I make all these venting and ranting posts...... Why I play Genshin Impact and Azur Lane........ I have fond memories of GTA. Shame it's now ruined to a sub-group of soccermoms hell bent on corrupting various games now labeled as 'SJWs'. (The group from Tumblr & Resetera). People are getting so ticked off (the actual people who care) moving onto Anime and Asian games. If you're not concerned then you're either ignorant or willing to push for censorship. No joke.

*sighs*.........

Well, on the bright side I won't be playing them. I however do know the new generation shall have watered down garbage so I feel sorry for them. The new generation simply don't know what games are anymore. People in this era and generation are tolerate of censorship which should be concerning. I grew up in 1990's with everything being acceptable. I wouldn't be surprised if we lived in a Chinese & North Korean society in 2030 with the way SJWs behave. No joke...... Nudity has been censored, as has opinions, and now gameplay....... Don't assume I'm joking. I'm however frustrated and gradually becoming more depressed society is dipping.

Maybe GTA's trilogy can be restored......... If not, Asian games are going to have to work harder to recover lost ground us westerners destroyed.

Disclaimer: This is only an FYI (For your information) type posting. I'm only making people aware of something I came across. I'm also posting this in case Red51 considers adding 'River Monitors' into Rising World during early modern era in Rising World to protect ourselves from potential hostile naval threats, IF we get that far in the game. Everything is up to him while I simply make note of things. I was jokingly Googling if Slovakia had a navy of any sort, even river types. They had.

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

The President Masaryk - River Monitor:

Quote

The President Masaryk was the largest warship of the Czech-Slovak navy. Its construction began in 1929 in the Slovak town of Komárno. The ship touched the surface of the Danube on October 19, 1930 for the first time, when First Czechoslovak President Tomáš G. Masaryk visited Slovakia.

My Thoughts:

I'm dying laughing because I was searching as a joke trying to find out if Slovakia has claimed any naval identifications similar to HMS, RNS, HMCS, IJN, USN, etc. I found out Slovakia had a few river monitors, one of which is 'The President Masaryk', a River Monitor build at Komarno, a Slovakian settlement making it a Slovak build vessel. Techincally it's Czechslovakia, I'm being bias because of its birth place of Komarno. Having had family and relatives from Slovakia, and all I want to hype of Slovakia for my positive experiences from there.

Again, it is up to Red51 to consider if we shall have warships or not, I just want to make people aware these existed because these are easily prone to be forgotten in history. I even had a good laugh finding out Slovakia actually had warships for their Danube river patrols. Not mocking, just proud and happy. Surprise. I also am well aware of Skoda so I view it fondly from my experiences in Slovakia.

I don't care. IF (and a big IF).... IF we do obtain these River Monitors I'm putting my own flag, Canadian, and Slovakian flag on it . Czechs & Hungarians may fight me saying it is theirs, I won't care. It's more Czech and especially Slovakian than it is anything else. Rising World is also a game so it be wise to keep politics out. I'm just simply highly amused and hyped up right now haha. Slovakia actually had a warship. Nice. I hope we can see it reincarnated into Rising World, Red51 willing.

Surprisingly a beauty.

Bonus:

Not forcing Red51, just noting. Roman boats for the civilians and merchants.

http://www.sci-news.com/archae…roman-boats-3d-08567.html

The medieval boating era should be fun times in Rising World. All depends on how and what Red51 gives us, what he can access, and etc. There are cool options out there.

- Roman War Boats:

Not expecting it, just speaking up because we have a voice. If you don't ask, you don't receive. These should be fun to sail through the ocean and to upkeep every voyage.

---------

Intertwined - Roman infused music

Just being transparent showing you why I'm sharing this, and because Rising World shall be doing boats better than any other game. Minecraft failed. Other games are not quite right either.

(Now that I hyped this up I can go silent again.)

Pardon my obnoxious posting, just have to note this here also because this forum is easier to use than the Steam one.

Been having fun watching 'Vinland Saga' also speculating if we could see elements from real world added into Rising World from the Viking side of things. Their accessories, nature, boats, faction, and etc. Seeing the Vikings roaming around various islands (at random), pillaging and burning, while also having a chance to raid your own settlement during the warmer periods. Not often, just whenever you "space out", or tend to have far too much down time (however that can be calculated).

Bonus of having Vikings could fall under pirates and raiders (if so desired, or already considered). Be nice to be able to build their boats, steal their boats, repair damaged ones, and etc. Steal their accessories, among other assets.

I say this, I'm the most interested in their sailing boats. Granted, I would also most likely end up using their dragon styled tents, huts, and great halls.

- Focus is on the tent with dragon/pig/animal type patterns. Various clans have different patterns.

- Merchant Viking boat (Proper for Rising World)

--------

- Slave Feature:

Red51 can say 'nay' to this, just a thought. The player could go to Viking/Pirate/Raider outposts to obtain or forcefully flee slaves (if it's fine with stingy German laws and regulations). Could even negotiate bargains with the Vikings to let slaves go in alternative means (not lewd) by having them join you in other raids to take other areas over, or to help them occupy more land, or whatever is possible.

This slave method could also be how players could obtain companions and helpers by following the Viking's legal method, or by freeing them by alternate (forceful) means. Maybe you need sailors on your bigger boats, or help in your new settlement. Purchasing or forcefully fleeing slaves could be a good way of doing this either from Viking POV, or pirates, and raiders.

It genuinely is up to Red51 as for what we get in the end.

--------

And, for the fun of it..... Vinland Saga's soundtrack.

And for the atmosphere.

-------

Sorry, but I'm just in that mood I had to make note of it. I'll obviously wait for the core features like NPCs, Multiplayer, and whatever Red51 desires. This is more of a "if you don't speak, you don't get". I have to speak up if we desire something. I desire Viking boats and to both fight and befriend them.

I won't press on this element. Red51 has to do what he has to do.

Yeah, Steam threw me under the bus for that last moderation claiming they were "valid" and I am this evil super villain on the planet. I violate people and pillage settlements. Whatever. That action soured what "good will" I had with the above developer. I'm sure it can be restored, just ticked off by the double standards of allowing ResetEra folks to run rampant with raids and assault on forums while banning opinions and discussions. The irony.

-----------

- More WW2 Naval Games:

I'm gradually seeing a rise in more naval war games, something Steam needs more off. I'm seeing a slight rise in more U-boat games, something which is good. It is also constantly recommending Silent Hunter to me, something I do admire just not the ones it keeps suggestion. I would obtain Silent Hunter 4, just can't at the moment. I'm glad there is an attempt at making more Silent Hunter 3 type submarine games.

What we REALLY need are more proper surface warship games similar to War Thunder's mechanics, just more Silent Hunter 3 style of roaming the world with the whole world at play. We're almost there, we just need a brave studio to break the ice to then gain proper fortune. Everybody is a bunch of chicken crap.

----

Still waiting on a proper naval game to add in Canadians into these WW2 naval games without developer tantrums. I know of one game (Warship Girls), I however don't play that. I still can't believe how hard it is just to add in Canadians as their own entity in games when SIlent Hunter 3, Normandy '44, and others can. Why can't others? As noted previously Canadians are treated as cash cows for milking purposes on both War Thunder and World of Warships. Canadians are trash used to milk gamers of their money.

Azur Lane still failed to add in Canadians, something that still has me frustrated. I'll stop when I either turn into a skeleton or when someone gains a god damn brain. Azur Lane had the perfect chance for July 1st, 2021, especially during the August 10th 3rd Anniversary for Azur Lane. Congrats, but you guys failed to respect Canadians. It's probably political related.......... Chinese probably banned from adding Canadians for this reasoning....... I'm speculating so I could be wrong.

If true (on the political part) then I guess Canadians are just "trash" because China said so. Let us hope I'm wrong and this is all speculation. Still waiting..... Canadians aren't allowed to be added into naval games also because they're "a minor nation", whatever that means. Just like how adding VR into games isn't "worth it" because of lame excuses like 1) Low adoption rate, or 2) "ToO HaRd". I'll keep repeating myself until something happens, somewhere............ Someone, somewhere, has to have a brain.......

Waiting, and waiting, and waiting......

- PC VR is "Dying"/Dead - P2:

It appears whoever started this needless clout-chasing war needs to be put in their place. They want to falsely claim PC VR is "dead" while also spreading lies and de-motivational nonsense to then use the victim card to claim they're being attacked. They're spreading lies and slander just so they don't have to do work. Lazy bastards. It is like attacking a nest to then play the victim card. Grow up. As a VR user myself (two headsets) I have to defend VR while other people spew bigotry and nonsense. I HAVE to call nonsense out having proper gaming experience with VR.

I woke up to the continuation of this nonsense yesterday, delayed till now because I was busy focusing on other things (Azur Lane and Genshin Impact also). I absolutely HATE lazy ass (alleged) game developers.

Again, I agree with Quip. You first need to build a product, advertise it, sell it and then see where to go from there. You can't have instant results. The effort you put in is also the one you get out of it. Not making money? Tap into gaming voids such as making WW2 naval games with ALL the nations, mecha PVE games, flying games with career mode, among others. Make games people actually want to play. No, not the mobile garbage which lasts 1 day to a few weeks. Make something that lasts. Make something that fills in voids, something people want to play, something people can get behind in the long term.

PC VR is allegedly "not profitable" because you're not pulling your <Redacted> weight. MAKE ACTUAL GAMES PEOPLE WANT TO GOD DAMN MAKE. Do what the 'Spice and Wolf VR' developers had done by crowdfunding, making yourself known and just making a game through passion. They saw how few games there were passionately making a game people would both love while also adding water to the cup for people to enjoy. They've added their game to the VR gaming pile out of passion. The more honest you are with your sentiments the more you'll gain in returns. You have to place the support pillars yourself. Don't expect everything to be <redacted> handed to you. When I request something from developers I make sure it is something they can properly implement into their game.

Stop seeking money. That is all I'm seeing..... PC VR is dead because you can't mind it like oil. Screw off. Make games for entertainment and fun. What developers sound these days....... "Money, money, money, money, money, money, money."......

STFU. Pull your lazy ass whiny moaning weight. Pull your weight. What effort you put in is what effort you'll gain out of it.

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

I follow Lucifer from the VRChat side of things loving what he notes here. Instead of whining and moaning on Twitter for clout just make games out of passion. Everybody wants easy money expecting games to make them millions (or billions) overnight. Instead of making people happy people want money over evrything.

He is echoing mostly everything I agree with on the part where game developers should make games out of passion, not profit-seek. The more honesty and effort that goes into your game the more support you will gain. No pain, no gain. This is why normal Europeans and Asians tend to fair far better because they place in effort while people like Cix, myself, fake Europeans, and other stupid North Americans tend to fall way behind being jealous and envious of others. Clout chasing on Twitter. I, at the very least, have the dignity to know not to clout bait on Twitter when it comes to seeking money (and only money) when it comes to PC VR.

I lightly highlighted two other postings noting how people may be desiring mobile games over desktop and stationary VR experiences. People want standalone VR headsets (View Oculus Quest 1 & 2, minus the political & facebook bigotry), while also seeing how people desire to test out Steam Deck's VR capabilities. People would genuinely buy Valve's standalone/Wireless VR headsets if given the chance. The demand is high enough, simply need the supply for that demand.

People want mobile VR. PC VR isn't dead, it may have hit a simple slump relating to COVID, going back to work, or other factors caused by delayed cause-and-effect in various nations. Weather related, or other priorities. I can't play VR as I used to because I nearly became homeless, I don't have my trusty internet (relying on Wifi from hosts), and prefer mobile gadgets.

Road to VR - VR Rise-Slump-Rise:

Road to VR noted the standard rise, the unexplained slump, and rise again. Nobody knows why, though it may be because people are having a life again. Maybe, maybe not. We have numerous games to choose from so it can't be that. Maybe certain games came out desiring to be played over VR mode. No clear answer was given.

Quote

We still don’t have a clear cut explanation for the drop in June’s numbers, and Valve has opted not to respond to our multiple requests for comment. One lingering possibility was a large surge in Chinese (+6.18%) and Korean (+2.16%) players—places arguably less likely to be using VR headsets on Steam—combined with an overall loss in English players (−4.32%), which are arguably more likely to be using a VR headset on Steam. Facebook, whose headsets account for more than 60% of all used on Steam, does not sell its headsets in China.

These fluctuations, combined with a downswing of the data’s usual noise (and perhaps some actual reduction in the value of headsets on Steam in June), are a plausible explanation for the sharp drop, but not conclusive.

So, basically nobody knows. Valve may know, they are however not saying. Oculus is doing pretty well. HTC? With how sloppy they have become they're constantly seeing a drop. HTC and Oculus both have become the villains of the VR industry while Valve has been showing they can do everything right. I love my Valve Index over anything else.

Users have been noted (in the comments) their Oculus Quest 1 & 2 haven't been connecting properly, potentially implying numbers could be much greater than they really are. Speculation.

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

PC VR is dead is absolute bullshit. It is like hearing "we can't make games because there isn't enough people" is also a moronic move. Just make games, make your players feel welcome and you'll see the love in return.

"We want money though. Give me all your money! Money! MONEY! MOOOOONNEEEEEYYYY!"

I wanted to kill this thread, I however have to note something because there is a "war" going on. We have a rogue "developer" trying to slander VR while claiming to be honest. Maybe they are, you be the judge. Check out their tweets, etc.

- PC VR - Gaming Slump (Alleged "Death"):

I was shared the above video noting how "VR is dying" when it simply is hitting a slump. Maybe it is COVID related, maybe it is related to how people desire to be mobile so they're shying away from PC VR going on more mobile devices. I can believe people desire to be mobile because it also stucks sitting at your desk all the time to play pancake games, let alone even moving in one room. People loved using their Oculus Quest 1 & 2 to play games outdoors. Shame Oculus sucks with bloatware, political bigotry, and Facebook locks. Get banned you lose your gaming library.

Steam was noted making patents for wireless and standalone headsets. We may see one.

1) I agree with Quip here because talent is apparently being squandered away by whining and moaning. Yes, you can voice your opinions. The problem comes when you say something is impossible people will parrot that, and they always parrot doom's day stuff. I know people who shamed VR knowing full well how superior it is when done right. They know their computers yet still spew bigotry and nonsense probably because they're jealous/envious others and myself have VR. I became hated because I had VR, others also with slandering articles to kill things because they couldn't enjoy VR.

I agree with everything Quip has noted. Don't squander your alleged "talent". Use it for good, not for Twitter clout. I'm still pissed off with Bandai-Namco not using their fortune to make a proper Gundam VR game. An indie game developer is doing it in place of a AAA company. Lazy bastards.

2) We already have people who are afraid of VR. It pisses me off when a developer of higher status squanders any good will with whining and moaning. Not just CIX, others on the PSVR (Playstation VR), or any other developer noting low numbers. If you have the skill and talent then use it to your full potential! IF there is a will, there is a way.

What would piss me off further is if this alleged "developer" waved their title in false flag type manner for clout chasing on Twitter. There is a reason you're getting pushback, Cix........ I'm glad we can keep things civil, I'm however still going to call you how being a VR enthusiast, and all.

The whining could have been better spent making games that attracts people, filling in voids further attracting MORE people, and eventually breaking even in time. MAKE GAMES PEOPLE WANT TO PLAY. I respect 'Spice and Wolf VR' developers because they saw how few games we had for the VR market making their game to add to the pile. Like a water droplet in a cup, it all adds up eventually.

3) Surprisingly, I gained responses back from friends and the this "developer". We're surprisingly having a civil discussion, something that is rare on Twitter.

If you're worried about costs for making PC VR games then maybe you're barking up the wrong tree. Either pick a better path or bite the bullet to make PC VR games we all want. Mecha PVE games, among others. Worried about performance? Maybe tap into 'Viveport' (VR game streaming service), while encouraging other VR headset avenues. Let us focus on something which isn't Oculus while allowing lower entry to be easier to access.

I love developers who know what they're doing over those constantly making excuses. I grew up with people constantly following a path, I'm the only idiot who doesn't have one. They always had standards (as does Red51) with that strict European (and Japanese) mentality of "getting things done". What needs to be done GETS done. Not what Cix is doing here.

Tap into the 'Viveport'. There is always a way. If there is a will, there is a way..........

----

- You be the judge:

I haven't seen any proper attempts at AR. It has been done, and mainly by the Japanese. There may be certain QR codes, and other sorts. Nothing which really stood out. VR however, has more support and is far better known for both tethered and wireless VR headsets. You can be both in your home and outdoors, and anywhere.

Valve was noted to have patented wireless VR headsets similar to the Quest 1 & 2 in allowing users to have their own experiences.

I feel Cis has become a rogue developer having lost their way.

----

- Steam Deck - VR Mode:

A more mobile device is desired. People will try to play VR on their Steam Deck, something 3rd party hardware developers could potentially tap into. People WILL try their various devices to see what they can achieve. With this in mind, Valve has been seen making patents for wireless and standalone VR headsets matching those of Oculus Quest 1 & 2, something which is desperately needed for various reason.

1) It'll allow low entry users to finally experience true VR. Once you go VR it is hard to go back.

2) We can escape Facebook's political bigotry, Facebook nonsense, and actually play games as intended. No forced advertisements, risk of bans, and etc. Not even their bloatware for their software. They were good at first, they became bloated and flopped. I had a much better experience with Valve Index, a more expensive headset. The irony.

3) VR Headsets could potentially tap into 'remote rendering' services to play their demanding games. Viveport is one such thing, Rising World could potentially see themselves there if Red51 desires.

If there is a will, there is a way. This alleged "VR is dead" is just genuine fear mongering needing ACTUAL game developers to do the proper thing. Encourage proper PC VR enthusiasm, not fake Twitter clout chasing pessimism.

I hope people see this post because this is actually important. A developer complaining on Twitter while wondering why they're getting pushback.

Yikes......... Alright, screw the game 'She Will Punish Them'. I got banned on their steam forum for the stupidest of reasons. I'm now going to delete every mention of SWPT from my posting when I come across my posts again........

RE: (Gaming Voids) - Gaming Development Missing Features

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

I simply got banned on SWPT's Steam forum because I left simple comments saying I agree with another poster when disagreeing with another person about how FUTA (female sausages) shouldn't be in vanilla while being a modded thing, not a vanilla feature. The developers were hesitant in adding that feature......People desiring "female sausages" should chill out seeing as how they're painfully aggressive demanding it in a way a child would, yet I get banned for a day. They would actually make thread upon threads, posts upon posts yet a simple quote of mine saying "This^" gets regarded as "spam" and "false information"............ I call moderator corruption.

Because of that, I'm now going to go all "Hush hush" about SWPT. Even if it updates I'm not posting anything. As good as the game is, the moderator is a pile of trash. Warn me? You provoke me. Ban me, you get my wrath...... At the very least give me an actual solid reason, not "just because I felt like it". Even if the game updates I'm going to keep my hype about SWPT on the down low. I won't post screenshots, I won't tell Red51 to "inspire" from that game. I'm going to edit my Steam Deck posting in the Rising World Steam forum thread to remove that bit.

Holy crap man. Just can't have fun, nor have a proper conversation anymore. Everything is overly sensitive and you get moderated for everything. Just like Reset Era forums........ Back to my Azur Lane and Genshin Impact hype. The other persons' concerns seems far more valid and justified now..........

Its small things like this that kill games.

(Point of this post is to point out alleged "censorship" on their steam forums while moderating me under questionable reasons".)

Posting this video even though I hate GameXplain, for similar reasons why I hate IGN for their bloated views.

-30 FPS is just a benchmark, games can do higher and more. They have yet to find a game that actually struggles or suffers.

- They made sure all parts will last a long time, they however will still fail because that is life.

- They are aware of Switch comparisons noting this is for the more "serious" crowd. The more serious gamers, though casuals could potentially still play it. You'll know within 10 seconds which device is for you, or so they noted.

---

Still tracking all the news. I want to know how well Rising World shall run on it and other games. Its being speculated 'medium' graphics and settings. We shall see. Red51 also noted they haven't obtained any devkits, though may eventually obtain one if available. They want to make Rising World playable on it the best they can.

Or, to not mince words, just read Red51's response

Quote

Unfortunately it's still a bit difficult to give precise answers regarding Steam Deck, since there are no devkits available for us atm, but in general, it seems to be quite promising. Hardware specs are quite good for a handheld device. RAM and CPU are certainly sufficient for the new version. When it comes to the GPU though, it's a bit difficult to estimate its actual performance. It definitely meets the minimum requirements of RW, this is the only thing I can say about it at this stage.

We will definitely keep an eye on it and try to get a devkit once they're available. Basically it is our intention to support Steam Deck, but this depends on a few other aspects (mostly on the final performance of the Steam Deck). I hope we can share more information about that in a few months

"soon".

Hmm..... I'm disappointed. Highly disappointed........

That moment when there is a German developer group busy preaching about politics instead of making/publishing games.....

Basically reads as

1) We're into fake politics.

2) We don't want you to buy our product(s); Refund if you have purchased it believing we are wrong.

3) We assume the world revolves around us while we assume the world is only one person. We love to shame the many people, gaslighting as if the many are a simple '1'. We LOVE gaslighting people, even doubling down.

4) We would rather spew politics on Twitter instead of making interesting games, or even publishing them.....

.......

Compensating for something? Obviously shows. Corrupted by fake social politics when they to the point they have to compensate for their poorly performing and coded games to spew politics and bigotry on Twitter. I've never heard of them, probably for good reasons.

The thing is, they claim they're doing this "for the good" when its all a farce. I feel bad for Red51 and his team (and any other genuine German devs) doing actual work while Assemble Team are doing moronic political things making Germans look brainless. If only their call for "diversity" and "support" was genuine. It ain't.

You heard them, don't buy their products. Screw them. They only want to end up destroyed as Electronic Arts and other game developers when they advertised "don't like it? Don't buy it". Their sales dropped.

Stop compensating and just make games. Why do you think the world plays games that actually want to be played, including Rising World, Azur Lane, She Will Punish Them, Genshin Impact, and everything else not including politics. Why do you think I play those games, and others. All this nonsense is making them appear as religious zealots spewing fake politics they don't even care about.

No god damn wonder we have gaming voids...........

-----------

Edit:

And they're doubling down. Such brainless morons. This 'team' (from my POV) assume they're doing the "right thing" when they're burning themselves with politics. So brainless. You'll get what you've asked for, especially with the corruption now known as Twitter (formally Tumblr). Assemble Team is nobody special

*middle finger*

Fine! I will! I'll play games that actually want to be played. F*** you guys too. Morons. Absolute cringe. Back to games that ACTUALLY want to be played.

Maybe I'm missing something, though at a glance (and a quick Google) everything seems to be in order. Just focus on making/publishing games instead of playing politics. It never goes well........

I'm still hyped up for the Steam Deck. While playing my socially spawned "guilty pleasure" game called 'She Will Punish Them", I'm still desiring to have the Steam Deck. People from ResetEra are out in force witch hunting both that game and Bloody Spell because they see lewdness in it when its a downplayed thing. Both have actual gameplay in them yet are being shunned because morons want an actual Martial Law nanny state installed. Its partially because of that I want my own handheld to play these games on my own and so my computer doesn't howl at night (as noted over and over again). I want to peacefully enjoy my Steam Deck gaming sessions........

Also......

If you have any questions you can resort to this video. I may need to rewatch this in case I missed any info.

Having a dedicated railway machine would be awesome. If we can program it to dig out a certain pattern it would be helpful, just like in the Minecraft Turtle mod with Redstone Power. Traincraft may have had this also digging tunnels for you, while the real world one would dig, place foundation, and even place the rails afterward.

+1

I'll try to keep this short... Noting this for noting purposes while not expecting people to respond. Don't want them to. Just view this, make note, and move on.

- She Will Punish Them - Steam Drama:

I won't link the game, I will say it by name. I wanted to support the game because I viewed it as Rising World going through the same struggles. The game is basically a simplified RPG attacking story-based nodes, respawning patrols while collecting 'lingerie' loot while leveling up your companions. Its themed in a mature sense filling a necessary void in the Steam market while also getting attacked for its theme. A few threads have been knocked out already whining about the theme by moderatoes. ResetEra folks (or those acting like them) still keep harassing, provoking, and insulting the forum base to shame, shun, and censor something that has a valid reason of being on the Steam store. "no fun allowed".

Someone voicing their concern about the moderator being an (corrupted) feminists which shall ironically kill the game its themed by instead of helping. I view it as speculation, and I don't want to spread drama. I'm simply making note of it because even in its obnoxious nature it still contains valid criticisms. The game has been attacked for its themes, people are getting hot headed after having been provoked by people attacking the game, getting moderated for defending the game while also feeling betrayed in the process. I'm just hoping that this is just needless drama and that the developers behind 'She Will Punish Them' shall work on their game with pure passion and dedication.

The game fills in a void yet it also being shunned off of steam because it offends people...... "no fun allowed". Then you have conspiracy theories (of varying value) floating about dealing with the developer team and moderator. I'm trying to hang back to lurk, posting less while fighting with a stupid brainwashed Canadian from Guelph. So much for playing games for entertainment eh? Not with these people who constantly shun certain themes and anything that offends them.

ive always had issues playing n64 games via emulator. not that the emulators dont work but the controls dont feel right. zelda uses the joystick so no other controller feels right to me.

Fair enough. Coworker said he enjoyed playing the N64 games on the PC because "it was made for it" over the console stuff. I guess. Whatever we can do is to our own taste and I don't know how to reply to that.

Guess you'll find your sweet spot for those games eventually. I just can't wait to start experimenting. I saw that it won't play the MMO mainstream games (I don't care), just as long as it plays games I'm interested in. I don't care about Apex, and all those always-online games

I hope we can find our place on the Steam Deck. Hope it has screenshot and video mode.

Quote from james1bow

yes my wife got one and i got one. i hope it will get her into gaming more.

Nice. That makes more sense. Well, here is to hoping we shall obtain ours properly in December to have fun.

Seeing how the Switch made things highly accessible I can see it being more of a case with the Steam Deck. It should allow your wife to become more of a gamer, even if its 2-8 hours, or however long her games last on it. If not for games, can use it to put anything else on it. Good luck, and have fun.

-------

Also, to anybody reading into my Mino moving the thread bit just view it as "drunk humour", but not really. I was having fun in my tired and stressed manner, nothing more.

---------

I honestly can't wait for the Steam Deck now. I know I have my PC, I know it runs Rising World (while howling), I can't rely on my PC during the nights. If I want to chill at night I need this Steam Deck as to not wake people up with how loud these demanding games run. Who knows what I'll be doing around the time of December...... Maybe I can also run the stupid Train Sim with the Hamilton DLC, and such, without my computer howling. I'm going to be experimenting a lot. Lots of experimenting with Rising World and etc.

Another friend of mine says he is going to put an emulator on it to put N64 games and such. If I can get access to Perfect Dark I'd play it on there and PC.

I'm so hyped I can't even contain my excitement. Again, I wish it will release properly. Also, on a funny note you could technically play VR on the Steam Deck, its however not recommended because its not optimized for it. Its not their priority; Mileage will vary.

Quote from james1bow

i saw this yesterday. already got 2 pre ordered

Not sure how you're able to order 2, unless you've done it through two separate accounts. Scalpers and all. Also, congrats.

--------

I also just reserved mine. Says it'll be out Q2 2022 for me. We'll see. I was working so I couldn't get mine in earlier.

Also, silly Mino is silly. Alright....... I placed it there because we were going to play Rising World on it. I'm just going to shrug and move on, I had too much stress to argue about this. I'm half laughing at this. I love how I also deleted the 'rumour' one to place this "up there". I'm not gonna fight this one, I'm too exhausted for that.... I'm just gonna say one more thing and move on.

I just want my Steam Deck. Seems like I'll be waiting ages for it now waiting till Q2 2022.... I better not. I want mine in December. I'm also worried it may go to my old address, not my current one....... Trying to figure out how to properly access Steam billing, even if I already placed the deposit.

WOOOO!

Steam surprisingly announced the (Steampal) device as 'Steam Deck'. Nice! It seems its fairly affordable in three various packages. Standard, medium, and high end with internal SSD. I'm going to go middle route just so I can play Rising World on it, among other games. I can't always rely on my PC, nor can I play games into the late hours as I used to. It be quieter, handle humid weather, etc while my PC howls like a monster. It would wake people up, and I can't VR as I used to, as much as I loved boasting about that. VR is still awesome, but that is beside the point.

If things go well, it'll be my own Christmas present.

With this device it shall be interesting to see how Rising World shall be tuned to this. It should run these games no problem (as devs & IGN have said), and it can even be tweaked to your liking. You can use Steam workshops, you can insert external mods, and you can do whatever you want with this gadget. This shall be fun.

Check the specs:

https://www.steamdeck.com/en/tech

If you can't play it on PC, you can play it on this device now. I'm in! I know I could buy a new PC but I just can't. It would take up space, I can't splurge freely. This is a two for one, and it'll allow me to play Rising World among other games Just like the Switch, it has gyros allowing us to mine with a pickaxe by nudging the device in a direction. Precision mining ftw heh. It should hopefully allow me to fight bandits and aim properly by aiming the device, using the pads for mouse control, etc. Nothing beats the PC, I however still need this for Rising World, and I bet others do also. Not everybody is rich. I can't openly replace my PC or else I'd be hung (people helping me in my 2020 situation).

I want to hear Red51's thoughts on this to see how he views this. How he may or may not have to lightly tune things to make things work even better on the Steam Pal device. Its a far bigger beast than the Nintendo Switch ever will be. As much as I love the Switch, it just doesn't do what it should and this fills in that void.

-----------

(On second thought I moved it into discussions because it relates to using this device for Rising World while also not being "news" for the new update. Sorry for the confusion and obnoxiousness.)
