 I have to say, the way I write this in the title is related to what I write back in 2021 . Why do I say so? Look no further than SomeOrdinaryGamers, the one channel that is best described as the anti-mainstream gaming channel that talks about anything and everything.  So, what happened? If you haven't noticed recently, most, if not all, YouTube videos out there (it might happen to anyone who have subscribed to certain channels), have automated translations to video description and title and AI-driven dubbing system that can convert what you're saying in the video (you or anyone else) to be dubbed based on what you're saying in their native languages. Apparently, Indonesian is covered in this subject, to which I brought up the attention of the old post I wrote back in 2021, where the AI was at its infancy (there wasn't even an AI chatbot like ChatGPT at that time). Ngl, there are translations that are either wacky or just don't fit right in based on the language for...

 I simplify all map-based mods I have into this one big post. The mods I cover are based on map editing that I discovered while I was developing the 3.0 update of my SPW Swap and VisMod Collection. I gotta hand it to kokeo1 who discovered the idea of actor injection from one mission map to another; although theoretically we  can  edit missions to make a new one, the mission itself is "cooked" in a way that we can only edit what's available at hand. Creating a new mission requires us to have a reverse-engineered source code and dev assets to work with, which is not easily obtainable due to Ace Combat 7  is not even an  indie  game. That didn't stop some modders to modify the existing ones. I'm pretty sure you have heard the Ally F-22A Mobius One mod by now. This accomplishment alone made me interested in learning how kokeo1 (the author) modify such mission in a way that Mobius 1 (for all we know and love in the Ace Combat franchise)  canonically ...

 If you read my old post pertaining Ace Combat 6 emulation through Xenia app that ended up bad (it's been 5 years, holy shit 🤣), well, I have good news for you readers who still care about my blog (as I start to neglect it even more due to more of my daily life updates are spent on Blaze's "Get Home, Be Home, Stay Home" Discord server).    If you have watched it, then you know what I'm talking about 😏. It was out 2 days before my birthday this year (like, holy shit I can't believe this 😱) and TBH, it's not even my birthday gift that I want.  So, what's going on here? Let's start up with the fact that emulation isn't perfect. Sure, you can say that such thing can be perfected from time to time, but TBH, the fact that I wanted to have a try on AC6 even though I don't own Xbox physically is getting my patience dry, so based on what I experienced 5 years ago , the Xenia application was at its infancy. It's not as perfect as today (to wh...

 I mean, the title says it all. I asked such question over Steam Forums but no one ever get back to me to get the answer, so I decided to do my own research. Remember what I said before about how this blog went absent and I talked about Storm Evolution mod ? Turns out, I checked out the changelog today over the website I once got in a YouTube video and I'm pretty surprised that they bring the Storm Connections' new characters into Storm 4. I'm still wondering tho; how did they do that? Not to mention Lars, of which he's originally a TEKKEN character (I saw that in one of STORM MASTER's videos) but... really ? Ngl, some of you might not gonna like Connections for a huge number of reasons (even I complained about how overpriced Connections is, but it's worth it, considering I'm not a huge fan of using Total Conversion mods unless stated otherwise, especially on different games), but I made a review of the game which specifically geared towards this set of new...

    Who would have ever guessed? Seems to me that VGM (VideoGameMods) is using the Mediafire to host the files, the one where you can issue a complaint if someone didn't like your files being hosted publicly on the Internet. It's not a joke, lemme tell you. I made a PSA post earlier regarding XentaX Forums shut downed , which covers the issue regarding my fanfic short story collection get taken down because someone didn't like using Naruto images as an illustration, even though it's fiction in a fiction. I don't mind about rehosting Combined Arms mod by beczl anyway; it's for the old LOFC2 game that the patch/update bitched the StarForce protection mechanism (basically, you can use the base unpatched version of the game, but with computer knowhow, you can make a backup of its binaries, patch it, and switch the binaries back to the old version). Besides, DCS: World is a thing today with mods growing bigger and bigger. If my time permits, I will cover what happe...

 Well, I come back with two good news. Storm Connections Modding = Storm 4 Modding I'll have to say, the modding techniques used in UNSC is similar to that of UNS4. Encrypted CPK archives, same method to replace images with the hex editor... TBH, it's not far off considering UNSC is a reskin of UNS4 with new features, bug fixes, and more, which makes UNSC as if it's a brand new game. Also, UNSC is the first modern Naruto game entry to return the use of two different Ninjutsus similar to that of Ultimate Ninja 5 on PS2 (no idea if Storm 1 is having that, correct me if I'm wrong tho). Apparently, since I joined Nexus back when I was hyped with Fallout 4 Modding, there is a new game category dedicated to UNSC (I'm surprised since Ik that only VGM is the main source of the mods for Naruto Storm games), and not even a year or two it's filled with model mods, like, bwoaaaaaaaaaaah... I moved away from AC7 modding for some time in a hope that I can enjoy other games w...
