 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...

  Worth noting; last time I did this was when I was surprised about Jump Force game having a Boruto character in it . Thought it was April Mop 2 years ago. Now? It's an old news, and I still don't want to buy it nor playing it because... you know, it's not my type of "branching out" from the Naruto mainstream. Last time I branched out, it was when Love Live is still a thing, along with some others my sis used to watch, such as Angel Beats . iDOLM@STER was not my kind of hype, even after the game came out in Steam (this kind of thing is available as skins in Ace Combat 6 and Ace Combat: Assault Horizon ). Dunno why IDM is bitching out when I try to download YouTube "watch" pages; it always said error code 500. Like, what, I should use Windows Sandbox or smth? Also worth noting; my new tee I bought few months ago is the one I should say "wow". Goes well with white or black shirt I have. I even use it on my b-day on May 26 this year (second ph...

  It's getting close to my birthday, I know, but judging from the heavy restrictions that placed in Nexus Mods, it's gonna be one level with YouTube at some point. If you don't know what I'm talkin' about, references are here and here . Porting content Ik this sounds ridiculous, but I see examples of mod-hosting websites like GTAInside and GTA5-Mods had no problem with models, rigs, or whatever that came from other games, showcased it, and make it downloadable for every person the planet, and none of users/admins/moderators have complaints regarding it. Even SkylineGTRFreak has no problems uploading new stuffs that ported, for example, from Ace Combat 7 , into Grand Theft Auto V (I saw his latest videos, BTW, but I didn't watch it). However, Nexus Mods has come to a way heavier restriction regarding this issue at hand. Full thread post is here . Still, I won't argue that I may indeed want to use NS:UNS4 assets into Fallout 4 , but uploading it to Nexus ...

The box itself is big, but from the size of the action figure, it's twice and half as big as the Boruto one I bought from the online store. At least the price is worth my purchase here, though seriously, I saw the model of Sakura Haruno - the rare one, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than this one. The one I bought is a special of its kind. A somewhat genuine action figure scaled in 1:6 (1 cm represent 6 cm - I learned that from social science lesson at high school, where you use a map to represent distance from one city from another using a map scaled in 1:x). There's even said about the guy who made this masterpiece. Oh boy... it isn't a waste of time of finding such rare model like this, but still... this is 50k more expensive than buying Ace Combat 7 last year. It's priced 600k Rupiahs when I bought this few days ago. No regrets. I might find Sakura Haruno model (action figure) later when I visit online stores, but my main focus here is Boruto. ...

Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' about. I feel kinda sad at some point (but not really, I thought something else, still remembering that accident, but I feel it's not even that serious to begin with) that Boruto had "no friends" with me for hanging around. Most likely this will add more collection. Though he can work independently, friends are an irreplaceable thing to count on, especially in a world like this. More action figures collection has been a thing for my birthday gift, especially when I stumbled across some that are real-sized and colored just like in anime itself. I really have less mood to upload the work I've done on Boruto Ped Mod Project for GTA V before I can hand this work over to Darwin VS, but one day, I will. Maybe around this month, but not at the end of the month, that is. Those action figures and the friends on Steam are the ones I can count on, despite having less contact with them and/or I usually touched those action fig...

Enter 24 years old of me. This ped rigging I made is worth my time of making the wish at least come true, even though it's a public beta release. Well... my entry of the 24 (my 24th birthday, that is) is different than any other entries because of Covid-19. Everybody stuck at home with casualties rising per day. I swear, I feel my sympathy on those who get infected by Covid-19, and I wish they get recovered, if God permits it. Now, onto the project progress. I had to redo the Boruto ped to remove the facial mesh bug, and I swear, having facial mesh bug on public beta release is gonna give a bad look on Boruto, especially when used. in YouTube. At least Ik how to learn a ped rigging with ZModeler 3. It's trial and error. And also about careful mapping just like in the training. That's why ZM3 provided test tools like "Inverse Kinematics" and "Move" function to simulate human movement. It's not perfect, but gives you a clear understanding...

Sounds like this is more like a new bone reference screwed up the hand/finger and head painting. I'm not sure what caused this "broken" mapping of head and hand/finger mesh. I'm more thinking like, ZM3 is updated by constant time, and probably something changed in the export. I have no idea how to explain this to Oleg in my time of developing this, but at least I know how ped and facial rigging works. Manual painting is the only way if the ped size is not 1:1 proportion like the common GTA V peds. The last resort I will take is to redo the setup, like how I did in the first place. I got it perfected after making Sarada, Mitsuki, and Konohamaru models; shouldn't be a problem, though, and this will make me a perfect gift for my birthday, if I may say so. Let's see how far I can go on with this project. I'm more satisfied with my effort in doing this rather than having only, "WTH? Naruto and Kakashi only?".

So, something really intrigued me much after I went to the mall with the whole family. I have several big-ass-sized action figures that are... as tall as the local-made action figures from real characters in the past. Folklores, if you know what I mean. Apparently, there are even more bigger than that, and I said, "holy crap, that's really big sized for an action figure to be made." And the price is, holy cow, fantastic. Crème de la crème . They are priced of around 600 to 700k Rupiahs for just an action figure that is 3 times taller than a Naruto ( Hokage ) or Boruto action figure, an equivalent of two-week pocket money, which is 300k per week. Compared to the cheapskate Boruto ones I found on online shops, they're way more cheaper. This is like I'm buying ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN last year. They're priced at around 600k or so on Steam, and topping my Steam Wallet has a bit extra charge on the end, so it's not really 550k when you buy it. Sin...

Yep, AMD (ATI) Radeon GPU cards are supported to play this game, like it or not. This is why I'm curious why in the world the system requirements of Ace Combat 7 really requires NVIDIA GPU cards instead of "cheapskate" AMD (ATI) Radeon GPU cards. While my GPU card consumption is fine with maximum reported frames of 90 fps, CPU is a bit problematic. 100% consumption at the time this game is running. What in the... i5-6400 (Intel) is between minimum and recommended specification of the CPU/processor; no wonder the recommended is the i7. It could have been worse, though; I might gonna fry my CPU if I keep playing AC7 for prolonged periods. The fans will be a bit loud when this game is running. It's fortunate that it's Intel. If the CPU is AMD, well... it will be a different story to tell. My CPU will gonna get burst if the heatsink fails. Also, my birthday's.... not looking so good. I was about to do facecam, but shit... look, my parents are too godda...

No one has ever told me, yes. I had myself to put on my school suit and grab some photos until the last photo where my suit has been taken off, with me wearing only t-shirt and shorts. I mean, check out this video (although I didn't watch it). Is this some kind of joke? I've joined a discussion in Steam about "why Bandai Namco is worse than Electronic Arts" and one of them mention about they can't make any more UNS-titled games (the series of Ultimate Ninja Storm ended in the fourth "Storm" series). Quite reasonable enough for me, I'd say, because after "Skies Unknown" ( Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown ) they make a combo of well-renowned Shonen Jump titles to create a game called Jump Force . And "Skies Unknown" is using Unreal Engine by Epic Games similar to "Shinobi Striker" ( NARUTO TO BORUTO: SHINOBI STRIKER ). Jump Force probably have been using the same engine too. A friend that come by and added me, SAM...

The next episode after 95 is something about Sumire's team. Just... what were those ladies up to? Oh boy, another filler, another sh*tty day. Say, I'm glad I can give some of my time while doing my sh*t work to watch walkthroughs of Ace Combat 7 , including how to earn S ranks on all 20 missions, courtesy of Tomcat171. And after some sh*t count on how many weeks before my birthday can be calculated based on the current episode of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations . This week's 95. May 26 will be estimated on episode 108 - on what about is unknown. Maybe like the Mitsuki arc last 10 or 20 episodes? And the 95th yesterday marks the ending of the "Parents and Children Day" arc, which is weird, why Google only separated "Parents Day" and "Children Day" instead of it (my translation perhaps off the charts or missed, but if the English Subtitle says so, so be it). I have nothing to rely on, TBH. Local LINE official accounts started to stop updatin...

Before I start... I'd like to tell you that, if you have Google+, Google has announced its step-by-step closedown few weeks ago at this month. If you like to read some of my posts, diaries, and such, it'll be no longer posted on G+. I will add this blog site to my YouTube channel, along with one other blog site I recently updated. If you have posts made there, make back-up and post it to other platforms like Twitter and such. Homework started to fill in, and the shittiest one I have is that my neighbor beside my house is getting graduated, also in the same college, but different faculty and major. Mom is upset and said, "when will you finish that f**king homework?" I know, it's getting shittier and the more my mom telling that shit, the more I'll be go down sorrowing myself and stop doing my f**king homework. This is f**king insane. Still, I know that a learner or a student, once you go in, you can't go back, right? A saying "clock ...
