At a time like this, we honestly need something when everything is becoming a guilt trip. I may be struggling to be coherent, though still trying to express my thoughts the best I can. I'm just as exhausted as I was yesterday, thankfully having Azur Lane at my side. Games like these are both easy and hard to find because people aren't as passionate as they used to be when making indie games, especially in Navy type genres. Minecraft used to be "the best", PSO2, KanColle.... Rising World (java). Its now Azur Lane for me. Silent Hunter 3......

Quote from Fizbit

I got through Strike Witches but the whole girls as military vehicles genre? simply isnt my thing. *No comparison to Azur Lane beyond the military vehicles thing.

Its my thing because its similar to various indie game developers making games simply as a passion project. Its a nice free concept, something which isn't as properly explored in North America, or even Europe, because of various fears. Authors, artists, and etc are fearful for various reasons causing their art to feel chained by something. Our western art always tends to lack that certain "something".. I love how the Japanese authors expand and explore various roles by even adding in various factions/nations/groups others wouldn't elsewhere.

I enjoyed Strike Witches's amusement (Silly antics), lore, and maybe even the music. I still have yet to continue watching the recent batches of episodes. I love the flying concept and how they expanded into tanks. I do find the tank bit a bit weird, but it is what it is because the author went there. That is why I find it interesting. The passion of exploring things.

I found out the author quietly added in a Canadian pilot in the manga, something I had to Google and research heavily to find. Can't recall if I was told or if I stumbled across it. I'll assume someone told me about it when I was gifted a manga from a Japanese friend.

Elizabeth F. Beurling, based on George F. Beurling. I'm glad we have Canadian representation in Strike Witches with a 'Faraway Land'. If I can fiddle with this character more openly I would love that. A game, mod, or something. I want to connect with my Canadian pride

On a similar note its thanks to KanColle which allowed me to find Canadians had a navy in WW2, something I carried with me into Azur Lane. After having found out Canadians had a decent navy I wanted them added into a naval game. I'm now pestering every naval developer to add in Canadians while avoding 'cookie cutter' methods of making the same factions in games all the time. They should do their games more along the lines of 'Silent Hunter 3' by adding all relevant factions, regardless of 'major' and 'minor' nonsense....... Just add them in..... Granted, goes without saying I'm pissing off various developers by my requests. If not developers, various people who keep blocking my requests.

I view 'Silent Hunter 3' as the best naval game because it has most of the elements correct back in 2006. It has Canadians, it has various nations naval traffic during WW2.... I find it ironic how 2010+ games can't do what a 2006 game can. It pisses me the right off...... I don't want to slander developers though find them so tardy and lethargic when it comes to their newer games not matching, nor surpassing past games.

Quote from Fizbit

Genre aside, If you enjoy anime that can grab you and leave an impact give Made in Abyss a watch. Its fun, tense, uplifting, gut punching brutal, and in the end, full of pluck.

Had a old friend from out of state visit lately who`s in no way into anime and I got her to watch it. Sucked her right in.

Oh, I REALLY love anime. I held back on this forum though this is the first actual thread I made about Anime. I watched insane amounts of anime by now loving how free and fun it is. 'Made in Abyss'? I know a VRChat friend who watched it so I may just put it on my list to watch. I saw Nanachi's everywhere in VRChat, if that is the right species for that anime. Worlds, avatars.... People praising the show heavily.

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

On a side note I wanted to share this last night with Bismarck's PV & special dialogue line vocals. I have a proud German fleet going until I can specialize in a Canadian fleet in Azur Lane.

Bismarck pride, if Red51 is lurking this thread, though it may not be Red51's thing. Who knows. Either way, I have a proud German fleet because of my love for Bismarck & Tirpitz thanks to 'History Channel' pre KanColle/Azur Lane days. Trying to level all my ship girls to level 120 so I can properly have them battle in various battles.

I honestly can't wait for Canadians. They better come soon. I've been left high and dry for quite a few years, and with Azur Lane noting 'Maple Monarchy' from HMS Fortune's dialogue saying such.

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

I do keep military anime on my radar because they tend to be interesting and amusing. Jormungand is a love letter to 'Lord of War' by going with similar themes and the same AN-12b plane. Jormungand is a show I recommend, also for its more personal scene of Cuba & Havana Club. I had great fun with Jormungand.

Oh, geez.......... See, this is what happens when you 'bend the knee'.... Feeling emboldened, they're now trying to slander and ruin Rosario Dawsin again. Same with Chris Pratt....... Cancel culture sure is fun.

Carl Weathers supports Gina Carano spawning SJW meltdown.

What a time to be alive where you can't enjoy your hobbies and entertainment. Hmm.....

I've been posting quite a lot of negative stuff lately so I wanted to share some more positivity going along with the whole 'drone' topic even if you guys may or may not follow along. Wanted to post this even if people may or may not be familiar with this because more positivity is needed in this world. I'm not expecting people to be familiar, just wanting to share positivity.

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

Azur Lane, what is it?

Similar to Japan's 'Kantai Collection' (KanColle), it follows a similar concept of viewing your ships as actual females in human form. Humans view vehicles as females, thus shipgirls in this genre. Azur Lane is a game (and anime) of ships in human female forms fighting against data aliens named 'Sirens' who are hellbent on experimenting in morbid ways on the ships themselves and humanity. Its up to these shipgirls to save earth by forming an alliance called 'Azur Lane' (Think UN). Its not all sunshine and rainbow as there is a nasty fracture even among the 'Azur Lane' spawning the 'Crimson Axis'.

A mobile game.

-----------

During my toughest and moodiest times I can always rely on Azur Lane to cheer me up, more so as we all wait for Rising World unity to mature to a proper playable state. Its always been good to me (mostly) while showing it can respect history. I used to play KanColle having learned about WW2 though that became too time consuming and grindy that I had to ditch it. Everything became so difficult it no longer became fun, but I still respect KanColle for its BGM and character designs. Its on the serious side. Azur Lane is more accessible giving me more amusements. Its because of both games I want to see a WW2 game with Canadians in them with HMCS Haida, HMCS Uganda, HMCS Ontario, & etc.... Just one proper good naval game similar to 'Silent Hunter 3'. I loved that game. Azur Lane hinted/teased we may obtain Canadians as 'Maple Monarchy' so I'm hoping to see them in time. I just hope I won't turn into a skeleton while waiting, similar to how long we all are waiting for Rising World. No ill wills, just.... Art takes time, I however want to see a good game on various fronts with developers being honest without doing the whole 'cookie cutter' samey game stuff. I love Azur Lane, Silent Hunter 3, and Rising World for being fresh.

Until then (Canadians being added), I amusingly enough ringed Bismarck & Tirpitz in Azur Lane because even outside the realm of anime I found myself admiring the beauty of both Tirpitz and Bismarck. They're beautiful vessels.

I love this game. Even when times are negative it always bumps me the right back up. When we get boats in Rising World I 'hope' (though not expecting) we can see some military class vessel I could hopefully play around with in that game. Anything. Azur Lane does its research on history so you tend to learn, thus why I love it. It knows how to be both serious and comical. Its animes are good, even if people say otherwise. Azur Lane: Crosswave (on steam) is a neat game, though not something meant for westerners because of different play styles. Its a nice start and I enjoy it.

Youtube spam because I love this game so much. Hope I can carry it over into Rising World when we get boats and such added. Modding. Whatever.

German Air Superiority experiment:

Upcoming Russian Event:

And a cute little Russian dance from the Russian video above. I need positivity, Azur Lane gives it to me as we all wait for Rising World & etc.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee~

Waiting for good weather and etc, but yeah. Once I get past the Tello's various tantrums its genuinely fun to fly. I still have yet to feel "used to it", though like what I've experienced. Can't wait to fly it again.

Heard about Muppets being allegedly "sexist", or something with muppets having breasts. As for the racist, that's a new one though not surprising.

Sexist, Racist, transphobic, and all these messed up labels........

When I posted my previous posting I thought of this video having to time stamp it to 2:12 for the Disney bit. Some of it true, though if that was done in 2021 you'd see Star Wars rap lines...........

Yeah. What a joke western media has become. I enjoyed watching 'Dredd', Fury, Interstellar, Ghost in the Shell (live action), Battleship, and Inception, all of which I enjoyed. Trying to watch as much as I can on Netflix while I can.... That is when movies were at their best as well (90's especially). Greyhound (WW2 movie) being recent and neat with Canadian influences.

Disney........ This is why Anime is so popular

Watching the interview now hearing things both on and off the video.

- Disney & Lucasfilms purposely harassing Gina Carano and anybody they don't like.

- KK purposely hiring weirdo people which spawned this situation both for Gina & High Republic nonsense.

- Hate Mob attacked Gina Carano purposely twisting words ( purposely misinterpreting), purposely misreading points, purposely bullying people.

- Lucasfilms/Disney wanted to lynch Gina in front of 40 people in a call.

- Lucasfilms purposely erases Cara Dune with another character, even proudly displaying this on Twitter.

- Gina Carano found out she was fired on Twitter, not by Disney nor Lucasfilms.

- Lucasfilms accidentally sent an email tracking the abuse, even encouraging it.

- Disney/Lucasfilms defended Pedro Pascal yet harshly abused Carano.

- Carano loves to post 'think pieces', something which triggers people. Similar to why they hate anime because Anime does the same by provoking the mind, just not shoving things in your face as Disney wants to do. She loves to post things because she wants people to think, something they refuse. Everything has to be linear. People kept forcing their own spin while also putting words into Gina's mouth because they want to push various toxic narratives. Drones.

- Tumblr/Reset/Reddit weirdos hate the taste of their own medicine (hypocritical). They freely block people falsely labeling others as trolls & other labels, yet Gina does this they insult her back. 'Rules for thee, but not for me', type thing. Double standard social justice nonsense.

- She was in actual fist fights in Las Vegas, standing up for everybody, something SJWs won't. Gina genuinely hates bullying, something which is ironic when SJWs preach about it.

- There are people who are quietly (whispering) supporting Gina because they're afraid of speaking up yet agree with her. If they speak up they get fired from Hollywood, or elsewhere. They can't even speak up in their own homes.

Angry people are still on Twitter trying to continue to slander her. This is important because the same thing can happen to game developers and even Anime studios. There is a cancel culture out there so its best to squash them while you still can because they'll make you live in a cage. I noted it previously how they even forced me to live in a cage when it came to my anime hobbies. You were supposed to hate on everything.

Even now, people hate me. Screw them. This is why I'm posting this here because I'm genuinely 100% pissed off. As are countless others. We just want our pure entertainment. We want our natural fun, something we had 2015 and prior to that.

Star Wars is ruined.

Should be about $150 Canadian ($100 USD). Depends on where you are, if its the DJI Tello.

Quote from zfoxfire

I think they always launch from that location whenever the game begins or resumes.

This ^

Always happened when you loaded the world then it stops when you finally pay attention to it. If the next update contains fireworks proper that would be neat.

Hope something is available in time for July 1st & 4th celebrations.

On a happier note I'm going to share something we can all enjoy. Was talking with Zfoxfire after a mentality check so I thought I'd finally share it here, something I've been meaning to do before hand.

For the longest while I wanted a drone, finally obtaining one on January 12, 2021. I wanted one for basic photography and videography (though mainly pictures). Not 'pro' level, just well enough to match a smartphone quality (5 mp) and to do panorama. The basic stuff. I wanted to see things from angles I haven't seen before, so I purchased the 'DJI Tello'.

Its a neat little drone on a basic, yet semi-pro level. It has up to 13 min battery life time, enough to do what you need to do for quick fun. If you ever want to fly more you simply get more batteries. Its however very "touchy" needing proper care because it tantrums easily.

To fly the drone at its fullest I have to use the 'Tello FPV' app because the main one is on a basic level. It doesn't connect fairly easily.

The app allows you to see what pattern it flew, and etc. The long line is when I flew it the 'long' way while the green and yellow is when I flew it up for panorama shots.

(1st Pano: My first Pano at roughly 14 feet showing a windy landscape near where I venture.)

(2nd Pano: A very windy day showing a very wobbly panorama shot.)

The 'Tello FPV' app allows the Tello to take 10 shots for a panorama allowing the 'Bimostich' app to stitch it together. My only goal is to have fun, see what i normally don't see, and to do things "good enough". I don't want to go "pro", that's for later when life settles.

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

DJI Tello is a drone I'd recommend, though if you want to bounce further I have two others I shared Zfoxfire which you guys may be interested in.

- FIMI Portable Quadcopter:

- Mavic Mini (any):

If you want to learn more about RCs & Drones then check out 'Captain Drone' who lives on the other side of the city than me.

https://www.youtube.com/channe…RuPifODAiW8zSLXs2A/videos

he makes awesome videos.

I'm a bit calmer now so I'm going to keep things shorter. I'm still keeping tabs on the news waiting to see how this all unfolds.... This shouldn't of have happened, though what is done is done. Disney & Lucasfilms now needing to learn from their actions, though will they? We'll see. This is why Anime is outselling North American media

- Hasbro pulls out (stops printing) Cara Dune figures spawning inflated price on Ebay & etc

- Various discussions about double-standards, cancel culture & etc. In short: No fun allowed.

(Disclaimer: Even if you hate Quartering & Clownfish TV you can get this same news elsewhere. Various tweets, news outlets, and etc. It just makes it easier sharing from the two videos)

Lastly, Disney is shocked and surprised a significant amount of people genuinely canceled their Disney+ showing them where their true fans are. Now, if they take the obvious hint they would do damage control, though doubt it. Disney is genuinely in "shock" and "surprise", though we'll see if they do the right thing. I attached an image of Disney's stock plummeting from this action.

They'll obviously bounce back, though #CancelDisneyPlus was simply a message, not a killing move. My friend who does stock loosely confirmed what I was seeing, even tempting me to do stocks, though that is besides the point.

Cara Dune also got a new deal for a movie causing fake Twitter Weirdos to whine and moan on Twitter about once again losing the battle. We'll see who wins the war in the end while it ends up being a stupid back-and-forth battle. Twitter weirdos ruining everything.

The thing is, these same people tried canceling various games, Anime shows, and etc because it exposed them as frauds. Be careful who you befriend because they may throw you under the bus as they had with me in the 'Busou Shinki' realm. People are quick to throw others under the bus, I know that first hand. These people are vicious and vile........As you can clearly see. They slander everybody to the point others believe the fake-spun 'transphobic' nonsense. People have been baited.

Quote from Minotorious

I would recommend a bit more research before jumping to conclusions and crucifying disney/lucasfilms. From my understanding disney wanted to fire her for months anyway and she just handed them a reason in a silver platter.

Maybe her last comment that actually got her fired was not the most controversial thing she did but she definitely did do a lot of the other things they accuse her of e.g. mocking pronouns by adding beep/boop as her pronouns on twitter only to later retract claiming "she didn't understand pronouns" (come on it is 2021...)

The youtuber (Vera something) you posted the link of seems unaware or simply chooses to ignore the other things she did do and there is evidence of.

Not saying that any of that should have got her fired but let's not pretend she was a full on puppy democrat.

I've been following it, thus why I shared it. I know what I'm sharing and I'm aware of what I'm sharing..... I have to deny what you're posting because that is NOT what is happening. Maybe the 'silver platter' thing, though that is a stretch here. Its just a lame excuse for censorship and politics in their stupid place.

Again, with all due respect Gina Carano did nothing wrong; People took her tweets out of context because they want the New Trilogy to win, they want politics to take over Star Wars and to ruin everything we hold dear and enjoyable. They're doing this for Marvel, DC, games, Anime, and etc, or at least trying. This is why Anime is outperforming Marvel because of all this political nonsense. People want their form of escapism. Its perfectly fine for Padro Pascal to say stupid crap, yet Gina Carano gets fired because she had a bit of fun. Nothing was offensive, people took it that way because they're envious, jealous, and annoyed that their narrative got blocked. What Gina posted in her tweet was a true real event happening, yet people took it in the wrong way because it didn't fit the world view (tribal mentality) in America.......

Sorry, I'm not with you on this one Minotorious. I've seen what these people have done to Anime and games so its best not to side with them. This is why I'm legit angry because things we have as entertainment is trying to be spun in a way to use as propaganda tools. If not that, its turned into trash by destroying and burning it into the ground. This is why Anime is outperforming Marvel related media... Manga is out selling comics.

The pronouns? She was forced to add them after being hounded, and hounded, and hounded so much. You would eventually give in, but with her own sense of humour. Oh right, you're not allowed to joke in this era. Everything is all so offensive.... She added them in in a joking manner, something which triggered people taking it the wrong way. You're allowed to have fun, as people have.

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

Few more things to add:

This pops up a lot in the tags

Pedro Pascal ends up fine, yet not Gina Carano........ Cool. Doesn't have to be the quartering tweet, you can find it in two other hashtags on Twitter under 'Nazi Germany' and 'Cancel culture' hashtags..... Its messy because you have those who assisted in Gina's firing doing both damage control and ruining everything.

"Rules for thee, but not for me."

(Forgot to share this tweet)

I grew up on Star Wars so that is where my anger is also coming from... Weird people, Disney, and Lucasfilms trying to weaponize it by turnign it into a political propaganda tool.......

As for "social suicide"...... I've been bullied a lot for simply existing so who the hell cares anymore. People view me as trash anyways so I'm just gonna roll with it. Hate me, love me, whatever. I just want to enjoy what I enjoy.

Cancel culture wins meaning you're not allowed to enjoy what you enjoy. Screw what you enjoy, because others said so.

The irony in the cancel culture canceling an actually strong woman when they're trying to pop up strong woman...........

Games, movies...... I feel bad for western media.

I've grown up with Star Wars, loved every moment of it, until Disney touched it. I loved the originals, loved the prequels, the Clone Wars cartoon and animated. I loved it until Disney violated, mutilated, and brutalized everything Star Wars, surprisingly worse than Electronic Arts. I however did enjoy 'The Mandalorian', and even 'Rogue One', everything else was a mess. I'm genuinely not happy, understanding if Red51 wanted to silence or moderate me. I'm genuinely not happy right now as Disney/Lucasfilms continues to butcher Star Wars into a victim blaming mess..... They're going on this whole 'fake woke' campaign turning everybody into hostile villains who don't agree with them.

Gina Carano is now fired by Lucasfilms because they twisted her historical lesson into something which it wasn't. It was simply a history lesson tweet allegedly claiming she is a Nazy & etc, something which isn't true. Imagine getting fired from a job for watching WW2 movies, such as 'Das Boot', 'Fury', or anything else then it being used against you to defile you. That's the level this is at, appearing as if they don't want you to know the past.

THIS is why I now watch Anime, why you guys don't understand me, and etc. You may think I'm crazy, and maybe I am because I constantly had to put up with people's idiotic crap. Lucasfilms fired Gina Carano because she didn't preach a specific tone of 'Pro-woman' stuff constantly twisting and turning things into vile nonsense.

If you want videos to watch then here.........

Honestly, this is also why Twitter is looking into paid tweet subscriptions because people are bailing on Twitter for these Social justice nonsense. Its why people watch anime (except you guys here), its why 'I' watch anime. Its why people I know don't want to use Twitter because of the weird social justice nonsense. Twitter used to be the best platform until the fake people joined it, ruining everything for everybody. They should have stayed on Tumblr because they genuinely had no voice or power there. Tumblr doomed us all, especially with ResetEra weirdos.

You're not allowed to have fun, and if you do you're going to get smeared by being called 'phobic' and etc. They tried coming for Rising World though you guys put up a barrier. They tried cancelling various Japanese games and Azur Lane, among others. They held up. They're going to keep canceling anything they can get their hands on. Naughty Dog rigging game awards, Mass Effect censorship, and etc. You can hide all you want from it, you'll have to fight back eventually...........

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

Its only correct if the 'right person' preaches, such as George Takai from original Star Trek.......

Its not a news I wanted to hear tonight because you legit aren't allowed to be human, nor have fun anymore. Its only right of the fake 'George Takei' spins it in a way for attention without realizing his situation is more about national blood over foreign loyalty.

You'll want to do everything for your homeland, not your other home. Look into the 'Niihau incident' to see why George Takai's was caught up in his situation. People are being played like a fiddle, similar to how the Pied Piper works........

----------

Ignore my post if you want, you'll soon not allowed to play Rising World if it starts offending the weirdos on Twitter. This is why I enjoy indie games, Japanese media, and etc. Its why I'm the "weird one" here. I'm not happy tonight.

Well, Red51 surely has two gauges (standard & minecart types). What I want to note are a few more things.....

1) Tram or rail decorations of placing decorative attachments to 'fill in' by adding grass, concrete, or whatever else. Europe has a ton of scenic and decorative tram tracks to make note of

2) Track variety (view below tweet) - Drawbridge rails.

Casually skimming through Twitter finding Japanese folks talking about how one train can go one way while another can pass through with the opposite being like a drawbridge. When we get trains I hope they're weighted and awesome. I'm also getting influenced by my hosts who are allowing me to stay with them so I see various new trains types I haven't seen before.

When in doubt Red51 & friends can look at Traincraft for Minecraft to see how to properly do trains, theme each cart to resources, and having to build them up frame-by-frame (piece by piece) until it is fueled up and running.

That's the plan. Red51 had a note saying you would start off in the early age of medieval era to then progress into modern era, or just stick in one or the other. A game of survival.

Quote from red51

Oh, that's a pity, why doesn't it work? What recording do you use?

Maybe its demanding, though I do find it interesting when I can record VRchat (in VR) but not Rising World properly. It drops every other frame for Rising World Unity, probably for how demanding it is. I may have to alter the settings and such to make it recordable for Youtube, even though people beat me to the punch, etc, etc.

I put my ticket in the client help subforum for OBS and etc. I'll try again Tuesday when I have time.

Quote from Xantequia

cant find it on Steam. Where is it located at?

Follow instructions on main posting.

Library -> Properties -> Beta -> New version.

If its standalone view above postings ^_^.

I'm still frustrated/annoyed I can't record this game for youtube while certain other people can.

CPU: AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor
Motherboard: M5A78L-M LX PLUS
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti
RAM: 16 GB

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

The game runs decently fine on my computer on default settings. I upgraded my Nvidia drivers finding it running slightly smoother, though finding recording with OBS now makes everything stutter like mad. The stuttering is noticeable by 60% more recording wise than in the game itself. Trying to record a simple 5-10 min video for Youtube finding it drops every other frame. Can't get a solid scene recorded. Not expecting a fix, just seeing what can be done.

Maybe someone who tried recording can tell me how they faired using standard OBS.

Quote from zfoxfire

I missed the Christmas tree but leave it to Red to make an impressive demo with lots of teasers of what is to come.

Maybe the door is locked and time sensitive, only open on Christmas. I'll set my clock forward and see what happens. I wouldn't be suprised if Red put some easter eggs in here for us to discover.

Heh. I love the teases, even if they're unintentional. I love how we can also lock doors and have double doors open at same time.

Hmm... if performance is causing trouble, maybe create a new topic in the Help section with some information about your hardware (and your current config) Then we can check out what's going on there.

Sure, I'll see about tweaking a few things and if it still persists I'll send it your way via Help Section

So take this with a grain of salt but I'm imagining there's a reason why this chunk is showing but others are not. I flew out and recognized some of it from your trello. I guess this is not a seed-generated chunk but a modified chunk. still should not be visible from a distance.

Quote from red51

This is a hard coded playground which is actually not part of the world We used it as playground for testing various things and originally wanted to remove it for the demo, but it could still be fun to explore that part so we kept it in for the first demo release

I'm glad you kept it in. I took a peak as to what was there finding the megaphones, walkie talkies and such. Things in the suggestion forums were actually implemented and I'm happy.

I love this playground area. I'm digging the grandfather clock, the Japanese lanterns, and a bit happily annoyed by the door locked teasing the Christmas tree. I have a lot more to explore.

I'm going to see if I can make a video of this shortly, if the performance allows me. I kept experiencing slight stuttering as if its loading chunks or something. I still have errands to run so I'll deal with this game once I come back from that. So far, I'm impressed.
