Sorry if I'm making so many topics, just need a place to 'let loose', if that is fine. Our entertainment is being hit hard and far too frequently we keep feeling large ripples all around. I follow the gaming sphere called 'Hololive' where they use Anime characters to pose as their persona to do various things on Youtube. Gaming, roleplay, and etc. To the unfamiliar, Vtubers are simply entertainers using 2D & 3D avatars to cover up their actual self, even to the point their speech patterns reflect their characters.

Hiryuu Coco Graduating July 1st. Basically, she is leaving for unspecified reasons she can't go into.

(Image source) - Coco & Kanata flying in the sky.

-> Official Graduation Tweet:

We're sad, especially after how much she had done, how much she influenced others, how entertaining she is. She is basically a pillar of Hololive to the point she even influenced me with her crude, yet hilarious humour. I remember her jumping into a Japanese toilet she made in Minecraft calling it her home, among others. Everything was epic until she accidentally showed her analytics on Twitter showing Taiwan as a country, something fragile Chinese folks are attacking everybody for. Smear campaign, divide-and-conquer, slander, harassment, and etc. Its a sad day. These Vtubers basically play games, sing, talk to their members/viewers, and have performances. I even have them as shipgirls in Azur Lane, something we won't have anymore thanks to fragile Chinese folks. They even killed off their own Chinese section with their hate-campaign with Hololive. They're vile. The irony. Poor Coco, she has been through so much abuse to the point Kanata had to comfort her. Kanata, and others had to comfort her while antis constantly went on the assault. "no fun allowed".

Example of their contribution.

Coco's situation & 'Graduation' announcement trending on Twitter.

Coco's Important announcement from her stream.

>Insert candle and dragon emoji here<

(Graduation means leaving. She'll be missed. She was a very special pioneer of Hololive pushing it so much further than any other member.)

Mano Aloe:

Mano Aloe's appearance was short-lived, though special because she left a genuine impression. She had beauty, skill, and etc. Her singing. Her depressive situation happened before Coco's, though in a same situation of harassment spawning new rules and regulations in allegedly protecting Cover's talents. Mano was harassed on all fronts forcing her to 'graduate' from Hololive. Nene, and others miss her. We miss Aloe's more innocent idol-style charm. She wanted to be this 'evil' idol. Basically a 'Succubus' Idol. She was precious, she helped Nene and others. It showed in her videos. She left a big impact with how Nene even made a song about Aloe Mano.

Even though Mano Aloe has left she still releases songs on other platforms. Not sure how these people know.

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

With Coco 'Graduating' July 1st (JST time) things shall be.... More emotional.

Even if this may not be your thing I'm still going to mourn Coco's loss for Hololive (and Aloe Mano's) because they're genuinely entertaining. They've done a lot in a genuine manner while being needlessly bullied, tortured, and harassed. Crying emoji because of how harsh the news is.

Pain.

Again, you guys can ignore this if you want to. This is basically for me and any "lurkers" while just admiring the more musical and artistic side of things while I can. I'm still at the point I can't really enjoy any games at their fullest unless its Rising World, Azur Lane, or any game that actually tugs at me. I haven't been excited for a game to release like 'Miitopia' for Nintendo Switch, and actual games with actual value and entertainment. While there are game developers out there making excuses as to why certain can't be done for strawman reasons I'm just sharing hype in areas I can still have fun at. I want to share Miitopia stuff just don't want to overburden Red51. I'll keep it to Azur Lane and maybe purge the VR thread. Maybe.

I'm still having fun with Azur Lane so I might as well share that fun while games are still "fun"; Have that element of entertainment to them.

- Azur Lane's Chinese Anniversary done in a sad tone noting Bismarck, and other ships. I sadly can't find a translation yet.

For those that enjoy it, awesome. Join me in having fun while games still stay fun and while waiting for Rising World to continue to mature o7

I've been wondering about this thread if we should let this go or continue having it active? What does Red51 think. Shall we just purge it, keep it....I'm trying to figure out what to do with this thread, or if we should just let it float into the past.

I think I noted everything with nothing else to really be said.

There are people trying to nudge 'Ion Fury' developers to add in VR support for the developer to simply say "no plans" so people are getting upset. Instead, people are nudging the developer while bringing up an artistically similar game called 'Compound'....... Yeah.

So, what should I do with this thread.....

I love this. Wonder if we'll obtain this naturally in RW Unity. Good work

*Sighs*.... This one is about 'Hokko Life'....

I don't like it when developers censor their own forums...... I'm fine with developers warning me with my outbursts I can't control, but deleting various comments? Dude, its a forum..... People should be allowed to express their opinions. Stop being so touchy. I've tweeted, and left a Steam status. I won't expect change, just annoyed. Left a bad taste in my mouth (figuratively). It'll still be on my radar, just not as heavily now.

I'm now not happy about 'Hokko Life' when developers do weird things, especially just to show a fake "clean image"...I defended them when Kotaku clickbait-hate-baited them and now the developer is touchy. They deleted a comment where I noted that their game SHOULD have co-op and modding support; Happy about.

Quote

Can you craft multiple items at once?
Yes, you can!

Good! You've learned from Animal Crossing New Horizons. Sadly, you've dug yourself into another hole, something people won't be aware of. I saw the warning signs in the Discord, and now on the Steam forums. I won't be defending the game, nor should have I in the beginning from Kotaku's clickbaiting nosense. I should have let it go. Rising World is a different case though, and that is in a different area.

I'm assuming what got me was noting how the developer shouldn't bow down to forcefully adding pronoun nonsense because people haven't mentally graduated from kindergarten wanting to associate themselves with weird things because of peer pressure. Ah, whatever. I guess I'm crazy, vile, and transphobic, and all these other buzz words. I'm an evil villain.

Well, the developer is going to keep getting co-op and workshop request threads. Censoring them won't help his case......

I now have a bad taste with Hokko Life, even if it was filling in a void for the PC market. Why do developers have to do weird things.

Back to playing games that actually want to be played. Again, I'm sure people will play Hokko Life, as they are with Subnautica. I can't stop people, I can however still voice my dissatisfaction. I'm left with a bad taste seeing negative signs with the developer. Not to suck up to Red51, he knows how to be a cool dev. He is correct in wanting to vent and be angry at me. You have that right to be pissed with me.

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

In the mean time I'll be playing Azur Lane. I even came across a neat game made by Thailand folks, or so. They made a neat realistic (nitty gritty) tank game in a singleplayer manner called 'Panzer Knights'. Its a neat game, something better than 'World of Tanks'. And yes, it has anime characters, something which is a bonus to me. If the developer cares we "may" get co-op and Canadians, though that is yet to be seen. We'll see how much they care about their animetized tank game. I won't link the game out of respect for Red51. I will mention it, just not link it to Steam.

Quote from Avanar

Interesting building. What is it?

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

Carlington Hill[edit]

One of the most notable features being Carlington Hill (frequently called Dulude Hill),[6] a large hill with long gradual slopes. Part of it was formerly a ski hill with a tow lift (known previously as Anne Heggtveit Hill),[7] but is now used as a City of Ottawa approved sledding hill.[8] The western part of the hill was quarried for limestone, which was crushed and used as lime for the production of cement.[9] The former quarry is now used as a city snow dump. Also, on top of the hill is the Carlington Heights Reservoir and Pump Station which supplies approximately one third of the city's water. Urban forests and green spaces surround the park, but are often frequents victims of dumping.[10]

----

I never did show you the quarried part, only the hill itself. According to wiki is a Reservoir and Pump Station. Makes sense.

But Wait, there is more!
(Commercial tone)

- Park-Ish Dirt Bike Slide Area:

Went to a nearby park-like area with a propped up area, a dirt bike area for cycling, and even a slide area during the winter. I'm not good with heights being a shut-in so I need to re-acclimate to these heights. I kept panicking, more so because it was +30 celcius that day. Roasting. Granted, I was also stupidly wearing a sweater because of extra pockets. I went down and even back up the hill. Going back up nearly murdered me. Felt fire in my throat, heavy breathing.

But yeah, I feel these images are worth it. 3 panoramas from one 10 min charge and 1 extra shot of police patrolling the area in a casual manner. They headed to where I was taking images. In the last (3rd) image you can see it protrude upwards in a square. That is originally where I was going to take my panorama. The wind wouldn't allow my tiny Tello to do so. I kept fighting and speculating.

Saw two potheads in the area so that may explain why we have these community service police folks roaming around. These are community based law enforcements, not actual police I'm aware of. I simply came here for the panorama and the view, that's all. It felt sketchy, I gained what I came for.

-----

Edit:

Having fun with Bimostitch artificially making wide images. This is awesome, I'm in a hyped mood now.

(Restitched Panorama of the third image above. Tried to have the hill on the far left, its instead in the middle now.)

(The area I wanted to originally fly my drone on top of. The elevated square area.

I'm just having too much fun going back through my images haha!

- Sunny Stormy Cycling & Drones:

Well, we have summer weather now and it tried to thunderstorm today during the time I desired to head out. Went cycling around my old area from a year ago before I was displaced by 2020's madness to come to terms with it, and to go down memory lane. Flew my drone in two places because one of the spots was requested and another was desired by me.

Panorama behind a school (Regina School):

(Had wifi interference, probably from the wind. Only took 3/10 pano shots)

And then theres a few single shots which stand out on their own.

- Canadians in Games:

Just wanted to make note of this for the curious, though mostly for myself. It shifted more to Canadians themselves to eventually being Canadians for naval WW2 stuff. I'm making note of things while updating my observations in areas. I may even use this post as reference for my push elsewhere. Ignore this if you want to, I'm not forcing you to read this.

Well, ever since I started playing games (early 1990's; PC games 2000 onward), I've always wanted to play Canadians whenever I was introduced to Civilization. I'm going to assume it was Civ 3, then Rise of Nations, Battlefield 1942 (they eventually popped up in expansions), and then properly in 'Silent Hunter 3' as AI traffic. I slowly started seeing more games adding Canadians, just not in its full form, just in its scattered form. It always ended up frustrating me.

We have the following games with Canadians officially and unofficially........

• Silent Hunter 3
  (Canadians as AI traffic as their own thing. As it should be, though sadly missing their late war assets.)
• Civilization 3
  (Modded; Not properly)
• Civilization 6
  (Added, though stereotypically. I'm frustrated, more so with lame-ass stereotypes)
• Rise of Nations
  (Modded; Not properly)
• Battlefield 1942
  (Expansions; Decent. Was fun seeing them there, especially fighting Italians.)
• Victory at Sea
  (Under Royal Navy using HMS tag; Frustrating. Memorable being chased by 'HMS Haida' as Japanese. Appears to be prematurely abandoned for another game in their library.)
• Atlantic Fleet
  (Under Royal Navy; Frustrating)
• World of Warships
  (Only HMCS Haida; No other vessels like light-cruisers or aircraft carriers)
• War Thunder
  (Only HMCS Haida; No other vessels like light-cruisers or aircraft carriers)
• Dictators: No Peace Countryballs
  (Has Canada and every nation, if in generic form. I had my fun)
• Steel Division - Normandy '44
  (French Developer/studio added in Canada as their own side. The way it should be done, sadly landbased only. One of the better games.)
• Wargames - Red Dragon
  (Same French devs as above adding in Canadians in a turtle manner in modern era. Still have yet to play, though high respect)
• Hearts of Iron IV
  (Recently became aware you can play as any nation, even Canada. As it should be, though not really my cup of tea. Needs to be easier to play, Rise of Nations style, or something.)

Reason I made this posting is also because I recently found out Hearts of Iron IV freely allows you to play Canadians, or any other nations.

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Dominion_of_Canada

I've went around basically harassing the following developers to add in Canadians as their own 'faction' because that is just how its supposed to be done. I mean, look at Silent Hunter 3, Eugen System's games, Hearts of Iron IV, and those that freely allow Canadians to be their own faction.

(Games of developers I've pestered)

• Victory Belles
  (A mobile game similar to 'Kantai Collection' and 'Azur Lane', if overly belated in releasing. Has HMCS Saguenay, that is about it. Problem is I've been socially lynched and abused I view this game in a negative light. Dialogue heavy, and etc.)
• War at Sea
  (If they can have naval battles then they should allow for Canadians. They'll look into it, if the game lives that long.)
• Pacific Fleet
  (Would have been nice to see HMCS Uganda, or even one of the three 'HMCS Prince (X)' vessels. Or a 'what-if' situation.)
• Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnought
  (I genuinely vented, even had a breakdown moment requesting Canadians. Only gained word from players voiding my thoughts and the thought of having Chinese vessels, even if they've been added regardless. Having a free-mode campaign with minor nations would have made this game overly epic. It could easily become one of the best naval games out there.)
• Victory at Sea:
  (Has Canadians under RN, and as HMS (not HMCS), tried nudging for their own faction. Denied. Game was also prematurely abandoned for another title)
• Task Force: Admiral:
  (A Pacific oriented game aimed for pure realism and overly strict linear gameplay. Requested seeing HMCS Uganda, was considered though have bad blood with developer over Dutch comment, explained in previous posting in this thread.)
• Kantai Collection (KanColle):
  (Constantly waited for Canadians to be added, none was. Americans, French, Royal Navy, Swedish, and Australians were. Just no Canadians. I feel betrayed. Also, it'll be a case of 'a little to late' seeing as how I dropped out. If I ever get a hold of an MMD model I'm going to import it into the first game I'll see; Rising World. Americans kept whining and moaning they haven't had their units added. I've countered with Canadian arguments, threads were locked constantly, or a flame war would ensue.)
• Azur Lane:
  (Ongoing request by others and myself within the Azur Lane community. After being teased by HMS Fortune's dialogue with 'Maple Monarchy', wallpaper, and etc we wanted to see Canadians. We want to see our naval roster in full with HMCS Haida, all the DDS, the two light cruisers, various aircraft carriers, and such. We just want to see our Canadian representation, CCP willing. CCP most likely has to allow Yostar/Manjuu to approve of Canadians with the whole IRL political nonsense and NSFW crackdown on their Chinese server.)

============

Rejected Canadians:

I noted this over and over, just to put it in one post on its own I want to note the sort of 'excuses' I was given as to why developers and forum goers give me.

1. Minor Nation
2. Lacking Units
3. Unbalanced; Would lose to major factions
4. Boring Units
5. They're simply British & American influenced

Too all these, and more, I countered. Honestly, screw off. Why can 'Silent Hunter 3', Steel Division (Eugen Systems), some some parody joke games add them, yet others simply refuse. I feel the developers are tardy, especially having been spoiled by Japanese game developers having set the bar high with their RPG and various collection side of games. It may be harmful to their game funding, or even time to develop. Any other reasons seem like excuses. Just copy and paste coding, or something as other games have done.........

1) Its only Minor because you don't want to copy and paste code and assets....... Other games have freely added Canadians, sometimes even giving them full quality.
2) Learn some creativity that Europeans have. Learn from Romanian game developers who created Silent Hunter 3, or the French who added Canadians time and again into their war games. Excuses are excuses.

3) Sometimes people simply want representation, the fun, and the amusement to see where "what-if" situations lead. Look at 'Hearts of Iron IV' videos of Canada annexing USA. Either patriotic, or their gameplay style wanting to see what leads where.

4) Only boring because you're a lazy bastard. There is more than meets the eye......Pandora's box of information, and etc, etc.

5) Hasn't stopped Eugen System, Ubisoft Romania, and others treating Canadians as their own faction/nation. Excuses are excuses.

And I'll keep saying this in various wordings for each situation. Also, for the love of creativity, even a fictional world of 'Strike Witches' has acknowledged Canadians in their Anime realm with our plane ace, Beurling.

You may see this as ramblings, I see this as me trying to properly make note of this as I end up being frustrated with tardy game developers. Maybe they do have valid reasons, they seem to fall short when compared to more passionate game developers out there having set higher standards and the bar higher. I've praised Eugen System for going all out on Canadians in their WW2 game and modern game on their forums, even if I came off as corny, cheesy, and awkward. Praise is praise. They've done something others refuse to do.

I guess some things just stick with you until certain people do things right. As noted, I'm still seeking out a proper noob game maker where I can insert naval units in an arcade manner. Something simple, yet semi complex. We'll see what I find, and when.

I don't expect people in the Rising World forum to take me serious because you're here for Rising World. You do you. Stay lurking, do your own thing. I need to make note of things until something goes right.

Alright, so...... May 4th came and passed. May 4th (May the Force) be with you. Play on words.

Because of May 4th I got back into Star Wars just a bit to watch the final season of Clone Wars (7) finding it neat. Late by a year, it is what it is. We're now also into 'The Bad Batch' so I watched the first 2 episodes of that, loving it. Love how it transitions from Clone Wars to The Bad Batch. This is the Star Wars I love when it keeps to the lore.

Dave Faloni knows what he's doing. Kathleen Kennedy and her CEO boss are a pile of trash. They purposely want to destroy and sabotage Star Wars...... Ironically, Electronic Arts looks heavenly here. Might be a ruse though. EA may not be the best, they however applied a better Star Wars touch than Disney ever could with a 95% success rate.

I find this track to be overly haunting capturing the uncertainty (Shattered) state of Star Wars lore wise, as well as the state its doing in the real world.

Then we have 'Star Wars: Biomes' which is a 20 min video of various Star Wars locations flying by and past.

I simply wish Disney and Lucasfilms weren't so corrupted and mentally diseased. They keep screwing things up, yet obviously are creative, if in a self-destructive and political manner. They have talented people, they're constantly doing stupid stuff.

If you folks think I'm crazy or not, Star Wars is at a weird spot right now. It needs to be saved. It needs to be passed over to Dave Faloni to take it over....... The way he directed Clone Wars and 'The Mandalorian' is the way it should go.

If you've listened to the Shattered track above that is the Star Wars I know and love. Hauntingly beautiful. I'm still pissed Star Wars was hijacked by mentally corrupted cult-like individuals. Its insane.......

In short,

"Its ready when its ready".

I'm amused when that saying sets trolls off. Not saying that person is, just amused in a general sense. That is however a fact for gaming. I hope we can at least get glass textures sooner than everything else listed in the above posting. I still need a proper session with Rising World though. I love what it is in the game currently.

Well, I've been hearing/seeing various sources noting a rumour how Lucasfilms and/or Disney want to rehire Gina Carano. I'm still unsure about the full context waiting for everything to properly unravel. Its awesome we're snapping back to reality with rumours of them realizing Gina Carano needs to be brought back. Hearing how they want to re-hire her while also leaning on if she wants to be hired back into the bully-realm. She's been through so much abuse and harassment to the point it could be blackmail, or something along it. People have been twisting her words to the point bullies ended up killing Star Wars. If we can just get back to the actual Star Wars that be great. I genuinely feel bad for how much abuse she has gone through because she's a legit character and person.

From 2020-2021 (current date) I've felt Star Wars has been genuinely killed to the point I never found myself hyping up Star Wars. I haven't gone Youtube searching for Star Wars content. I grew up with it, I loved it, Disney & Lucasfilms killed it for their perverted political views, something people on Twitter and some here naively support whether they realize it or not. I've went from enjoying the 'The Mandalorian's' content, soundtrack, and lore to just forgetting about it because of Lucasfilms & Disney's constant destructive political perversions. I went from hyping up each episode every week to just not bothering hyping it up anymore. It also appears people just can't grasp the severity of the issue to the point they allow bullies to win, even knowingly or unknowingly supporting censorship and bullies by saying its all Gina Carano's fault. I'm now reconsidering hyping Star Wars again IF Disney & Lucasfilms use their brains the way they should be, not for political preaching. It should be about provoking the mind creatively, not politically. It shouldn't be used to preach politics. We'll see what the end result is once all the fine legal details are worked out behind the scenes. We'll see if Star Wars shall be saved, or if its actually finally dead after 'The Bad Batch' finishes airing.

May 4th:

With it being May 4th (May The Force Be with You) I need to post more positive news. The rumour mill is good news in itself while need to give something to boost the hype further.

Here is an oldie, but a goodie. This happens when people care about something they love.

And maybe some good music before we may fade back to doing our own things.

Let us get back to enjoying our content instead of hijacking it for fake political nonsense.

Disney & Lucasfilms need to both publicly apologize for abusing the fanbase and Gina Carano, something they won't do.

Quote from red51

You can snap them together by using the modular snapping (Return key). It may be confusing at first, but it is extremely powerful and allows you to created rounded structures in no time

Ah, how oblivious of me. That actually works wonders. Now I have another issue with the curved hollow cylinder not scaling properly for me. Probably a learning curve, or something. It just doesn't scale properly for me, though that just may be me.

Trouble with curved hollow cylinders. More of a learning experience for me. Awesome.

Can't seem to activate one of the axis points.

Quote from red51

But you can disable it by setting "Game_DebugConsole" in the config.properties file in the "_New Version" folder to "False"

Thank you

I'll fiddle with this when I'm more awake. I fell asleep briefly while watching ghost videos on Youtube.

Quote from red51

Maybe you could try to disable certain graphics effects. Especially "volumetric lights" and "screenspace reflections" are relatively expensive (and dispensable). Also the "detail view distance" is much more expensive than the overall view distance.

Thanks again. Again, I'll try fiddling with these when I have more time and an more awake. May have to wait for Saturday, or something, for further testing.

Quote from red51

Hehe, well, for proper security in MP we still need some sort of meta protection, like area protection

Nice

--------

Well, I'll see about building things properly on Saturday then. Hopefully everything shall play fair.

I'm actually happy with the way the building stuff goes. How detailed the wheel is (C key), how you can rotate the blocks, and etc. I have a few complaints, or worries.

1) The Debug Console seems highly intrusive. Is there any way to get rid of this on Steam version?

2) Can we have an option (or an easier way) to snap blocks and elements together? I tried using the F1 menu, was confused by it when it came to the whole snapping/merging of the blocks/elements. I forgot a lot with the F1 help section allowing me to make sense of things I used to know back in Java. But yeah, can we snap these elements like the scaffolding in java version? That be nice. I spent a good 20 minutes fiddling with grids, keys, and such.

I want to build a silly tunnel I can crouch through. I have to use blocks to then use these hollow cylinders. I love where this is going.

3) Would be nice to have a proper option/command to scale the blocks/elements upward as much as we can sideways, like with PNB. It just feels weird how its missing height scaling. It can be done, its however oddly clunky to do it.

---

Its making my computer howl with how demanding it is. I fear that once this computer fails that's it for me. I may have to bow out from this game. Until then, I love what I'm seeing. I love where Rising World is going.

Your drone is taking very quality pictures

Thanks

As summer rolls around things shall hopefully get better.

Spring drone flying time!

Was a nice day after all the rain and snow we had. Crazy April weather. Good day to fly my Tello again. Panorama attempt below.

9 km/h wind gusts today, gradually increasing as time went on.

Then a few pano slices making the above panorama image. Found a lovely section along the bike path.

Below: Destroyed building having been scrapped. Allegedly an ex-church, now an empty lot.

View of something I know in the distance. Random to you folks, familiar to me.

Set the images as thumbnails. Good luck getting a full screen out of them. Now, its gonna rain for the next few days. I can't wait till we get drones in Rising World, IF we are going to get any. Would be fun.

Gundam (MADNUG VR):

Another thing to note, something I've noted previously..... Bandai-Namco refusing to make a Gundam VR Game for Playstation, or making attempts to put it on Steam PC. I've heard zero news from my side of the fence. When I cared I tried shouting through various channels, VR blogs, and etc. Nobody gave a >redacted<. Either way, I'm still watching a Gundam fan still trying to make a Gundam game in an indie manner. He was silent for a good year or two, now back at it again with some visually pleasing features. Supporting indie games is what I try to do.

The cockpit starts up and even IDs friendlies and enemies. Nice! This is what I mean. AAA game companies are lazy as >redacted<. Not the developers that work on a game, the companies. Bandai-Namco is far too bloated for their own good. Granted, Sony/Playstation may have something to do with it also. This, in VR. Like with Rising World, I can't wait for another playable version to be available.

Quote from Xantequia

My old server had quests people could do called "treasure Hunts". I was asking if people could write a plugin where i could make "notes" that could be found all around or inside chests that had clues on them on where to go or have a riddle on them. No one wanted the money I guess I was going to pay to have them do it. So I made it where people had to bust through walls, rock, dirt, etc. in order to read the next clue on a wall. The prize was 64 of every ore, steel tools, saddles and other goodies. An added bonus of protected land mass that was the size of an entire map page. (600 X 600). It wasn't an easy task because you had to follow paths or go into caves to find your next clue. It had its dangers like Bandits, bears, boars, skeles and other NPC's. I was trying to make it sort of like an "Ever Quest" style of quests because it made you roam large areas and had to fight and face danger. I also created areas that were beautiful that were not claimed so people could of found the best plot of land they could of had. Some people complained that it was too hard because they didn't want to die or work hard at it to get the prize. Even though you kept ALL your inventory on death, they must of thought my server was a socialism type government where they get everything for free and didn't want to work for it. lol.

Sounds like an awesome idea. I would actually support it, IF I knew about it and was playing Rising World as much as I've done so previously. Would be nice to get this sort of game mode into Rising World.

One a side-Note: I've been trying to get some anime "mods" into Rising World, such as 'Busou Shinki', and 'KanColle'. With Rising World having dropped Java and onto Unity I know have to re-wait to try to implement them at a later time. Hopefully I'd still have access to a computer by the time proper modding support comes around.

For RW Java I also wanted to have a plugin done for NPCs but it was never done. It kept being held, but never coded. It was suppose to deal with invisible NPCs going out on a timer (on expeditions) to then return with items, on a timer. Maybe you could set a timer, maybe you could have randomized timers. It would have worked the way I've seen it done in KanColle, Azur Lane, and Assassin's Creed. Again, I now have to wait on Unity.

When I want something done I can never get it done because I also have to rely on people. It always ends up bad.

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

Sony Embarrassments & Amusements:

Allegedly you can now play Playstation games through PC Steam. Or soon. It may be a good idea, it may be bad. Either way, should have stayed in Japan to retain that creativity. People are now mocking Playstation because it shows they're fumbling in the dark to make something stick. Should have kept to your past ideals.

I feel bad for the people who have a PS5, especially knowing they intentionally or unintentionally support censorship and false SJW movements aimed to control people. I've pointed out the censorship to a few people with some people just not caring. I'm not joking about the SJW part either, but if you want to view me as crazy for saying that then that's on you. I simply want games to be fun and for gaming voids to be filled........ I simply want to have fun with the games I play so I want less politics and more entertainment, now more so than ever with how brutal 2020 has been, how I lost my parents, how I nearly became homeless. I just want pure games and games which provoke the mind, not those that preach like street-side religious folks.

Good thing I dropped out of Playstation. If Red51 was considering putting Rising World on PS5 then I wish him luck, especially with the way things are going. They want AAA games over indie games. Such embarrassment. I'm just facepalming in my mind while constantly sighing as I type this....... I'm done. Sony and Playstation can both redeem themselves if they move back to Japan to where they can regain their creativity and sanity.

On the flip-side: Maybe I can finally play those Playstation exclusive games. There may however be a catch requiring the console to use Steam. I need to wait and see because I do want to play that one game 'Last of Us 2' trolls keep harassing for being falsely "racist". 'Ghost of Tsushima', a game I had to force Google to remember probably because they altered the search.

- Sony Roasted For Cringe Decisions (Keeping PS3 & PSP Stores up):

Sony used to be the 'best' brand out there when it came to gaming consoles. Yes, even when it competed with Nintendo and Xbox. Now? Reduced to nothingness, more so thanks to how the company oddly transitioned from Japan to America, for reason unknown to me. Why did Sony even move to America? Moving there they picked up on brainless idiologies causing their games to faulter; Their PS4 to not have proper games.

I loved Sony because of its awesome Gundam games from PS2 & PS3 eras. I tried to get Gundam on my PSP & Vita, I struggled. Managed to obtain a few.

Basically, Sony wanted to remove their PS3 & PSP store because they wanted to focus purely on AAA games. They refuse to deal with the likes of Red51, or any indie developer we've come to know and love on the Steam platform. Blockscape, or any other developer isn't allowed. What would be allowed would be Diablo's political preaching (from Blizzard side), Last of Us II, and those sorts of games. Political oriented games.......

Power to the gamers for voicing their thoughts & opinions forcing Sony to backstep their moronic decisions.

Yikes... Another facepalming moment from a AAA game company..... I was also 'proud' of the above posting but yeah. I guess we're just overly eager waiting for Rising World to pop around within the last three weeks of April.

- Blizzard's Gender Fears with Diablo:

The issue? Diablo purposely asking for trouble by frustrating their fanbase. They purposely want to make woman look like males while trying to similar to how Disney/Lucasfilms want to throw turds at original Star Wars fans. What a genuine disgrace.

And then developers wonder why I'm so outspoken and frustrated to the point some third-party Steam moderator has to give me warnings, ban me, and nonsense like that; Why I go seeking out indie developer games. The tweets above are nasty bait, yet still worthless bait. Genuine cringe, unprofessional, and moronic....... You're selling a product and you do stupid nonsense like this.......For crying out loud.

Amazon kicking the shit out of the "haters?"... The 'Karen' name ironically suits her.

You know what? Skyrim's females are better with a Nord woman in Skyrim (Vanilla) able to brutalize anything Diablo has to share. Even Titan Quest, among other types. Honestly, the state we're in with these games......... Just stay honest with yourself. Conan Exile had better woman and they also looked roughed up (lewded or not). Lets make everything look stale and boring to prove a trivial point while degrading your fanbase. What a brilliant marketing strategy!

I'm not into Diablo, it popped up because I follow people from VRChat who seem to follow the tribal mentality (hype/mainstream) stuff. I just happen to see this...... What a cringefest. If I could genuinely send awards to Red51 & his team, I would. I would make possible to send awards to Waveshapr for the work he has done music wise, the sound. I still fondly recall the moment I died to a dynamite hearing the epic boom it left behind, the boom which travels with a delay. I can still picture that boom sounding like a turret going off a shell, or a canon being fired. Even when incomplete Rising World is a far better game than Diablo. I guess that may mean nothing, or it may come off as 'White Knighting'... I genuinely mean what I say while facepalming at the state of gaming.

Well, back to waiting for Rising World to update, to Azur Lane updates, and etc. The usual.
