Is It Finished?

by | Sep 12, 2022 | ,

Well, no, but that’s just because I never set a specific goal in mind or really thought about what a ‘finished Hipper’ actually looks like. I even gave the ship a new external paint scheme because the old one felt a bit … off, somehow.

Having said that, I’m definitely at a point where any changes I make to the ship that aren’t script or lcd related don’t really matter that much. So sometime this week I’m going to try to finish up the Cosmo Messer F and get some footage of it and the Hipper flying around together. I’d like to include the Blücher and/or the Magdeburg, but the former (in the background of the Hipper pic) isn’t even close to finished and the latter’s only just been laid down.

Another Skip

by | Sep 11, 2022 | , ,

I planned to come in later than normal for Clan Battles, but I just don’t have the energy for pvp today. I’ll see how I’m feeling on Wednesday, but right now I’m trying to get ‘real life’ affairs in order and there are only a few things I can do to balance that kind of stress; World of Warships isn’t one of them.

M.A.S.S. Builder 3rd Anniversary AMA (Part 1)

by | Sep 10, 2022 | ,

I think I got my dates mixed up. I thought the AMA forms were closing on the 16th rather than the 9th, so I didn’t get my question in in time. Just as well since whether or not viewing previous cutscenes isn’t all that important. That said, I’ll ask again if I get the chance. For now …

M.A.S.S. Builder – 3rd Anniversary AMA part 1 – Steam News
As there is almost 200 questions asked in total and we just closed the forms yesterday, we honestly did not have enough time to answer everything to post today thus we’ve decided to separate this AMA into two piece, one for this week answering everything regarding features and gameplay related quest…

Too Hot

by | Sep 8, 2022 | ,

It was a painfully unproductive day, but with the AC being out and it being over 100f outside, staying alive was the name of the game.

We’ll see how things pan out tomorrow.

First Runs 11.8

by | Sep 7, 2022 | , ,

I wound up skipping clan battles today, for a variety of reasons, but I did get to test out the updated operations this afternoon. Finally. Finally, I’ve got some incentive to play the game outside of clan battles. I even got a few replays worth recording toward the end of 11.8. There isn’t much else to update yet since the Space Engineer’s projects aren’t done yet–haven’t even been touched today, actually.

Last Run 11.7

by | Sep 6, 2022 | , , ,

I had one last run in the old style of operations in Maya earlier today. They’re taking away the 5 star format starting tomorrow so I wanted to get one last run in. It went well enough so I recorded it afterward, too.

I won’t spend too much time on it tomorrow but I definitely want to do a few operations after 11.8 goes live. After that I’ll be focusing on writing and trying to get more material for a Hipper preview.

All Recorded

by | Sep 5, 2022 | ,

Well, it took about four hours and I did some random house work, reading, and gacha games while I waited, but all the replays I wanted saved from WoWs 11.7 are recorded in glorious, hard drive bulging, multi gigabyte high definition.

Glad that’s over with. The update should be live on Wednesday, and then I’ll finally have some incentive to play the game that isn’t Clan Battles related. Kind of strange to think about these days. I won’t be playing too much, though. Maybe just a couple of operations a day. I’ve got too many things I want and need to work on to spend extra hours on it.
