Well the group is up but not much has happened there, maybe it will take some time until it fully goes off, channels & moderation has been set up. All it lacks are people 😉

Logbook Update Devoidbrah: 09/04/2018 – Europe

It has been a while since I had the time to put together some thoughts.
It is as if time is moving faster and acceleration at a proportional speed.
I have been through a lawsuit against a whole branch of my family, not really a lawsuit per se, but all it lacked was that I had to actively put a lawyer to work instead of me.
As all things go it was about money and inheritance, they tried to hide my fathers death for me so I could not sign myself in, and after I found out I had to settle all the matters on a global scale…
Needless to say I already had funds to invest into it, so it was less of a gamble and risk and more of a honor type of hassle.

Now after 2 years of mind numbling back and forth everything is cleared and settled and I can say that I have stood my ground in a way that I can respect it.
I am still working in IT, but now have a more on my plate than I wished for, handling all deal affairs, buying components and generally being up to my shoulders in administrative work for the company.
Needless to say the whole thing changed me. I am not the boy I was 4 years ago, I am more calculating, somewhat colder and always at some sort of save distance, wearing my mask for the society, one of the things I can rely on to help me through all sitatuations.

I must admit the whole ordeal nearly broke me emotionally since the other half of my family raised me to always care for my family and those that brought me up with their love. So fighting against the other half was not something I had been used to.

I have put my study for economics on a hold for 1 year to recover and regain the strenght i had lost. I have been struggling to hit the gym because of all the depression that had caused the grief and anger, I had to sustain during that process.

Needless to say there are also bright things in live:
My grandmother is on a visit at home and our cat we “imported” from russia has a kitten. Both are a beacon amongst the emotional debris to me. My mother and my stepfather are renovating the house and I am helping whenever i can. Which is sadly not much time these days.

I feel like I am on a constant struggle for time. And when I have some, it slips through my hands like sand. Currently with the age of 25 I can say that I am financially secure and socially sheltered. Nothing bad can be said about the live I have chosen to live.
I found a good friend in a retired mechanic who is always so helpful whenever I need a hand. I help him with administrative work and documents which is all mostly digitalized and he in turn fixes up cars and can get mostly any vehicle if I ever need one for a special purpose.

He is comparable to the grandpa I never had who would help out the best he can, and for someone who is 80 years old he can still fix a car up in no time faster than the usually mechanics you see working at a body shop.

Needless to say I also found out that my live expectancy wont be that great. Since I carry some genes that are like a timer until the cancer breaks out, and the timer for it is around 50 years. After that one is fighting a loosing battle against cancer since regardless how fit and healthy you are. That stuff will hit you everywhere until you are consumed by it.

Not much can be done about it and that makes me plan accordingly.

Thats it from me,
Cheers

Just a question, when are you planning on switching to another provider? Or is it already in progress. No rush, just a question out of curiousity.

And sorry that I have been mostly lurking. I still follow the reef but I was VERY busy progressing in my job and doing study on the side. Looking forward to the new layout though ^.^

I dunno if you are aware of this but theres a new DLC currently in russian for TEHO
English version is coming later this month!
There Are No Clean Getaways.

This massive expansion offers you an opportunity to live a life of real pirate – full of crimes, riches, lust, betrayal and adventures! Make yourself a name, meet the most wanted criminals of the Caribbean, become rich beyond measure and try to survive the just wraith of the people!
Features:

A thrilling pirate story in 10 quests;
Plunder of cities and villages;
New unique weapon – a Norse axe;
New unique weapon ship – the Torero, a polacre;
New locations to discover;
Your very own base;
A special Indian posion to turn more odds in your favor.

Now what I find most intriguing is the very own base thing. Maybe we can incorporate that whole quest / parts of the game into this one 😀

[Devoidbrah]

Great Work! Cant wait to do bug hunting on it 😀

[Devoidbrah]

well if you look here, first thing I do before making deals with business partners, is i check them out through previous reviews:

GoDaddy Review

I think GoDaddy was not the best choice, but afterwards everyone can lament. Its the wise decisions we dont aknowledge 😉

If you need any help, feel free to email me, I wrote you a PM 😉

[Devoidbrah]

I think the general consenus is that the girl thought about hooking up with you and using you as a means to stay in the USA for long term.

In her eyes, you sounded most like a madman, because in her eyes her country was nothing but a sovjet era repressed, broken country, barren and desolate. Only a madman would want to leave the “USA” in favour of visiting “Belarus”.

People there are certainly more proud about their country than they were 10-20 years ago. But its still not easy for them and while theres some benefits for the people there, theres a major drawback on the motorization and electronic market.
Few people there can afford what we both would declare as “affordable”. I was driving in my car with the feel of a sullen exclusivity down my spine. Even at some points feeling uncomfortable. Like a person who drives a 911 Porsche into a housing project ghetto.

I didnt fear for my life, since I am part Belarus but I certainly felt anxious and self concerned that I might not be doing the wisest of things and if something happened I had only myself to blame for doing this trip. All in all everything went well and I even managed to be on time for my second Semester of university. But at the cost of being completely flat when I arrived there and not 100% being able to follow what the Prof was saying 😀

[Devoidbrah]

@ Jeff, will we need a new savegame if we apply this fix?

[Devoidbrah]

Im currently also in the progress of setting everything up to make some proper Videos to maybe get some traction for attention or help out people who play this.

I will let you know when I am able to do this, but right now I have lots of work + study + profitable business ventures that require my utmost attention.

[Devoidbrah]

Your welcome, MK 😉

I have not had any problems until now, no crashes whatsoever, but I have not been in too many sea battles and I generally dont do quests on “Impossible” difficulty.

The main reason they are not closing / flaming or editing the topic, is because first, as Jeffrey has mentioned, he has what they want. And it wouldnt be beneficial in their effort to loose that link to the graphically improved version of Jeffrey. Its kind of a hostage situation for them. THey HAVE to play nice to get somehting out of it or they might aswell not bother at all. But Pieter seems interested and so he doesnt delve into the matter and represses himself from taking any major action that could be viewed in a bad light.

What they ARE doing though, is:

1) Divert: They are diverting traffic as you mentioned towards their site since they cant completely black this mod out, see how theres no front page topic about it, even though they review all things related to pirate genre regardless of quality or background.
This shows they still are not “on our side” but rather play the “status quo”. I say we should just hang in there and see where this will lead to, its entertaining to analyse it for sure.

2) Distract: They are actively derailing the topic to make it a mush of information in a sense that the main topic is becoming irrelevant and lost in it like in a “chatroom”.

3) Divide: They are trying to produce a mindset towards this “product” in a way that it looks unfavourably and maybe a waste of time if you would go that far. But just putting it into an unfavourably light is seemingly enough for them.

A big HEADS UP and a TOAST to our magnificent mod team who managed to bring forth this what one could only describe as unparralleled art. Anyone who enjoys this genre can be glad that we are actually able to enjoy this together and that it was not scrapped. A true gem among the existing game modifications and I think I say this in the name of all that that that this mod brought many a fun gaming night and still continues to entertain us even though the concept stayed more or less the same. I toast to the mod team with a mug filled with protein shake.

The car itself is full wheel drive, so offroad it does stand it ground in an awqard wannabe-jeep kind of way.

People in Belarus had never ever seen such a vehicle in their life so one had a lonely feeling of exclusivity while driving that precious across the countryside. Whole soldier colonnes halted their doings and just stared at it while I drove past each trying to get a glimpse on what was passing them by. Young folk and older folk alike halt when passing it by or just look at it for a time trying to figure out how that thing happens to be parked in a commoners parking lot. Dont get me wrong. There are some newer cars there here and there. But this car is 18 years old and looks like its just came out of production. And even though its an Audi, the car is so scarce, you might park it near a Porsche or a Ferarri and people wouldnt be the wiser what was a rarer sight there.

All in all I went through the 3 stages of pride when faced with people cluttering it up.
– First Stage was a sly smile when passing by people, feeling the stare on me and my vehicle and it amused me.
– In the second Stage I felt already a deep annoyance because the attention I was getting started to make me uneasy, kind of a feeling why would you not just keep on with your business, nothing to see here.
– The last stage I happen to be now, I kinda wonder myself at those people and pity them that they had not the same chances I had and I just relax, knowing that they at least witnessed it and appreciated the design before moving on with their lifes. 😀

[Devoidbrah]

jolly good! I shall toast to both of you, until further notice
