Sea of thieves – PvP embracing and running.

Posted on December 23, 2020 by WonderingRaven


Here is a term that has been around lately with Sea of thieves, you are role playing a “pirate” and it actually gets me when people define pirates and get it mixed and get it twisted.


There is people who both embrace pvp and try to run from it. You the pirate engaging in another ship to sink and claim their “loot”

Reaper Bone’s is a Trading company in Sea of thieves does not mean you are a “pirate” per-se it’s a trading company that encourages piracy, but doesn’t mean you need to pirate.  People assume raising this flag means you are automatically looking for trouble, it just puts you on the map knowing your location at all times.

Being a pirate does not mean that you are a Warrior, barbarian, nor viking etc…

Being a pirate is a robber of the sea in short, You come to steal and rob people if you are looking for pvp there is the Arena that is full of people who are looking for pvp fun, but in the sea of thieves you pirate or be pirate or be the one who hunts the pirates (bullies of the server) IE: Lie, Cheat, Steal… or in better wording “Pirate, Mate”

Flameheart “Not Pirates, but cowards” the thing is with this, this is a contradiction or an insult to actual pirates as pirates are cowards as they will use anything they can to run and rob you later.

TL;DR.
Pirate does not mean barbarian, If they have a reaper bone they are a huge target, The higher the emissary to a pirate this means there is a lot of loot.  You can’t be certain if they are going to fight or run 9/10 they will run because “they have loot” My suggestion would be not to engage directly instead trap them into a corner and destroy them with thinking + plotting like a real pirate would do.


Winning is Winning, there is no honor amongst thieves, if you want honor go play “For Honor”

Last but not least, You cannot get angry if they run. If they run, do what ever you want to do, but unless you have the wind favor and the ship then proceed other than that don’t waste your time because unless human error takes place 9/10 you just lost the loot that you want from them and you are now playing their game of cat and mouse. With this I would suggest immediately stop and find another way.

I hope this helps with your way of thinking, yarr see you on the sea’s.

DLive – Post Stream Write up

Posted on December 2, 2020 by WonderingRaven

As you have known, I have been streaming on Dlive.tv/WonderingRaven for over 2 months now, I started for a plan of 1 month but extended to two months. I never got to their affiliate status as it is beyond hard to do any type of networking on, it’s hard to be discovered it seems streaming games. It is hard to do any type of discovery or networking on this service and more I dig into the other streamers more “Yikes” I tend to get.

When I attempt to reach out to other streamers on DLive, they stream content that I just cannot jive with. I just can’t do it, it is beyond too political and too many tin foil hat wearers there and then it also harbors hate groups or allows them to use the platform to stream on as they cannot stream on Twitch nor YouTube.

Because of this I am going to reach out to my brother and get my nephew remove from this platform because of this nonsense that isn’t regulated.

Dlive suffers a viewer bot flaw that twitch had years ago but it is no point of having a lot of viewers because the browsing is technically shuffles who is playing what in that catagory.

Dlive has potential, I might continue my CTF’s there for the meanwhile but I am removing my game in my primetime of going live.

Sea of thieves – the fun runs

Posted on October 14, 2020 by WonderingRaven

I use this as a guide to my sailing route for when I decide not to work on PvE content such as Athena quests, merchants etc..

Alot of times I use this to hunt megaladons or Skeleton ships mainly because of the drops and I would make a drop off to reapers hide-a-way.

I’ll find ships with emissaries around this route also hits all the vault locations in sight.  So alone I’ll devise a plan to unlease sometype of evil attack on it and get the prized award. Normally I just need reapers rep so I’ll get their flag as the prize.  In a party, I’d go for more.

Servers will look dead, but 9 / 10 new players login or merge over from another server. Then there is you merging to a real active one with someone stacking fort of th damned.

Don’t give up on the quiet servers, you can get good content from them.  It really what makes this game both fun and exciting adventure all together.

Test Driving DLive.TV a new platform!

Posted on October 2, 2020 by WonderingRaven

Well since my birthday on the 30th I have streamed to the platform DLive.TV.

For a while I was looking for a new opportunity to grow and start something, something to get me more of working remotely and you know there was a lot of drama has been taking place over and around twitch with in these past few years especially when you feel unappreciated, a  nobody, and you don’t get into the streamer clique of aspiring partners and you end up feeling like they have abandoned the places they once stood for and some have become hypocritical of who they are  so you tend to feel they are technically pushing you to quit all together or you tend to get angry or frustrated over it to cause massive community drama over it.

Yeah, I am not going to lie, I was there that person feeling left out and abandoned but I wasn’t the only one and  when my mom passed away and put aside all of that feelings and placed myself in a self coping and just a state of feeling alone so instead of focusing on trying to join the solo aspiring partner ranks and feel like I need to sell out or something,  I just need something new and I hear it often about that same feeling from others and I can related but all I can say is ” it is what it is and we can’t dwell on it just focus on you. there is always an opportunity out there that you will find,  just keep looking and don’t give up.”

I do have a niche on twitch but… that niche needs a boost and I got no support for it I have to find my support for it.

I tried mixer and it sucked but then it shutdown.

Then there was this new platform was mentioned by my 10 year old nephew as he is super into streaming and nerdy stuff.  When mixer shutdown, my nephew joined this place as he is too young to get into twitch.  Now recently a friend of mine who got wrongfully banned on twitch due to the lame policies and is awaiting their appeal made a switch to Dlive so I dug into some research.  So here is what I have found with some pros and cons to this network.

Dlive from my perspective as a first impression. Research gathering and here is what I see. This is ONLY what I seen as a first impression, this does not relate to what they do or currently represent.

  • Started from wikipedia:
    • Red Flags seen was Alex Jones the conspiracy theorist(but was banned from the network early 2019), PewDiePie and a alot of other right wing supporter who podcast here.  This brings an influx of conspiracy theorists around and nutjobs and not a place for an Atheist such as myself. (I’ve never seen a right wing Atheist)
    • Interesting flag for thought, Decentralized and on a blockchain system and wrapped around cryptocurrency.
  • Game Browsing
    • This is a new level of small time streamers hitting the top of the list, I am getting viewers out of nowhere. People diving into the category and is discovering me.
    • People with 0 or 1 viewers are at the top of the list, it feels like it is more of a round robin how the users are shuffled in this list.  But the Games are segregated by the viewers of the game itself IE: if 1 person with 1000 people is playing doom, doom will show 1000 people viewing, or if 10 people playing sea of thieves with 1 viewer than it will show 10 viewers for Sea of Thieves and this list climbs depending on viewership of the game not the streamer.  So this is a better discovery by the game played vs the streamer viewer count is higher than yours.
    • Demographics seems to be strong on Turkey, Spain, And Conspiracy Theorist Americans.  (see next info for more)
    • 24/7 music streams not being DMCA’d (I guess they don’t give a shit what you play just as long as it’s not porn.)
  • Streamers
    • Different view of people, Chatting catagory I have found alot of bible studies, Right Wing “MAGA” Politics chatting, Massive Conspiracy Theorists plague this area, but wait there is more there is a few actual hippies real hippies yo! and  Turkish talkers of just chatting like you would find on twitch but from Turkey and a lot of Turkish teens.
    • The ones who have popped in and have said hi, gave a few tips here and there. But that is all really, I didn’t expect much as I am new but hey, it’s more than what I’ve gotten back in 2014 on twitch with my first time streaming a popular game.
    • I got lemon’s which is like bits for twitch but worth $0.12 per lemon as a streamers currency. You can earn lemons by viewing and lurking other channels with interactions. But you cannot withdraw this as a money making on return. Only Cryptocurrency BTT is what is done by.

2 days so far and here is some thoughts:

Cyber security side:  as this is an untapped potential I see red flag with botting and not just for viewership but for cryptocurrency farming. Another issue is there is no way to verify the user accounts created and you can totally fake your way to affiliate (200 accounts yikes) or gulp partnership.

It uses BTT as it’s cryptocurrency means and when you hit partner you get a nice 5% bonus in the stake. This being a small network, different platform that is slowly growing I am sure there is alot that can be exploited and abused if it’s not already.  Remind you this is “Cryptocurrency” blockchain based so…. abusing this platform isn’t going to hurt the whole network just a potential bigger cryptocurrency nightmare.  I actually wonder if a security researcher has done anything to Dlive. I am rather curious on this platform now.

Another view: There is NO way to tell who is wa`tching your stream this could be potentially bad or a good thing.

Political ways: This isn’t a safe place for left wingers maybe centrists but not left wing, and being this is mostly conspiracy theorists and Christians, being trans is not a place to be here. IF you do, you need an army and something to help holding the ground because you will be fighting far right who rather see you dead than to allow you to stream and potentially it’s scary to think about it and that is if they want to fight on Dlive, they might just migrate to another service. You Might capture the demographics of the Spanish (spain) or Turkish but last I remember being trans in Turkey is a really bad thing and this might be a problem.

Hope: But…  Things I do see that could unite the clans! (metaphorically speaking) You can’t advertise that you are trans, it’s not safe. (extremely not safe at all I wouldn’t do it)  Instead you have to bring topics that isn’t there like for instance.   I see the brilliant yet shitty OS “TempleOS” as a  live stream. So this would be great way to slap in your hobbies and or competitive gaming and go from there remove the political views unless you want to demostrate a political view you have to be tough and vigilant on this platform but it can be done it takes time and a good team.

Twitch is no different, it really isn’t it has the same right wing but it has the “balance”  it currently has.  Twitch is also a huge giant now, it’s not impossible but improbable to climb up because a streamers goal on twitch is to achieve partnership and will burn anyone in the process in doing so.  To get the progress to even apply you need a stepping stone and it has to be a partnership of some kind rather it be another partner or a game studio to endorse you and to be endorse you have to have some type of Return on Investment in advertising typically you have to sell out to get up.

TL;DR:
Pros:
This is a new service, it is fresh and on the ideas of a better network than Youtube or Twitch by actually giving back to the streamers.

it is a decentralized network built on a blockchain of cryptocurrency. (think of a city built ontop of a huge gold mine that you can mine yourself)

Opportunity is  different, making money from cryptocurrency then a straight payout from the platform itself.

Better opportunity to be found, network, and promote yourself on and I don’t need to sell myself out for sponsorship’s just to meet people and make money as a gamer.

Cons:

Think of all the people you have banned in the past, they had to go somewhere. Yep here is a full network of these people thanks to people like Alex Jones’s presences in the including current ones now.  Religious nutjobs and other forms of trolls live here and something else that I can not put my finger on it also exists here. With that being said, unlike twitch this can be a bit dangerous with doxing, chasers, and extreme religious nutjobs that is totally against any form of “trans” humanism.

I will update this more as the time progresses as my 30 days streaming to this platform continues.

Warframe vs Destiny 2. I Went Back to Des2

Posted on September 22, 2020 by WonderingRaven

Hi there,

I have recently have taken a new road and replaced my warframe content creation for over 2 years+ and my countless of applying to partnership to now content creator has failed.   I can’t keep creating content just not to be noticed by now. I spent my time from MR0 to MR28 live on twitch. I am a simple no one, they are a bit uppity with who they select to represent them and don’t cater at all to the aspiring ones who is working hard not just to enjoy a game but to also share that to others to inspire them to play along with you.  Instead they hand pick favorites especially really bad eggs out there who are more of a sell out streamer than a real community, or a streamer who keeps it real, so to speak.

So here is what I am going to dig into, my review of Warframe vs Destiny 2…
Both are beautiful games, one is first person RPG like game the other not so much more like Hack and Slash shooting hybrid.  Before I got heavy into Warframe in 2018, I was heavy into Destiny 2, even tho I did play Warframe was extremely bad in Jan of 2014.

I am going to list my view of the problems with Warframe: even over the times they are too much into creating content in relation they seem to have a mind set that they have to give things back all the time, this is why we are over saturated with “warframes” and “weapons” in the game. They seem to be mixed of what content is and feel like they keep people hooked with giving them free stuff they can “farm” for.

When they announce stuff, they normally under deliver but give a smoke screen of per-se an “I am sorry” to the community.  Recently instead of doing the new world add on they  recycled one and used the same framework of Fortuna and Plains of Eidolon and it really feel like it was a spike of “hey, sorry but here is something we can throw together really quick”.

I never realized this until recently but Warframe is technically a 3d clone of Diablo. But I am a fan of Diablo Games, so I will give something positive to say about it.  This game is basically the same concept of Diablo, Each node is a dungeon you run and complete and have a random drop. If Diablo made a 3rd person hack / slash game Warframe would be it.  You farm the dungeon (location) until you get the drop you want, added materials for more farming of the dungeons(locations). Makes time go by due to all the farming.  I guess the community is good? I feel rather ignored from the community especially when I ask questions or give feedback / help.

Destiny 2, it’s a shitshow since it was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed pre blizzard speration and became a bigger shitshow after, but with beyond light and the vaulting of the planets. it’s actually becoming better again.

You can’t compare Destiny 2 vs Warframe because technically they are both a different genre, but somehow it gets assumed they are? so my positive feed back in this game is:
This is a FPS game not a 3rd person hack and slash.
It has a solid story line and alot of nice features, it feels like a First person shooter with an RP feel and a bit of both pvp and pve all over.  It does have the random generated weapon stats but it’s minor to the weapon you want to go for, weapons are not over saturated and exotics feel epic when you get them especially hidden ones to even extremely rare ones.

So, I just say experience warframe for yourself they came a very long way and it’s much easier now than it used to be and give destiny 2 a try as well, they are no longer apart of blizzard-activision so they do their own thing now which makes the game even more focused and strong to make their own decisions.

WRnet: Stream Support

Posted on September 20, 2020 by WonderingRaven

My whole life has been a bit step in a traumatic experience and streaming / playing games and meeting people who enjoys the same stuff as I, has helped me be a better person today.

Here is an inside of supporting this stream and community:

Goals:

  • Gets me away from an extreme toxic environment of the failing casino industry that I am currently in limbo for as rumors hit that my department might be “let go” soon to help save the company.
  • Helps with fixing problems not covered with insurance, stuff damaged that was caused by the cancer.
  • Helps me return to Central Oregon where I can rival against an business partner who held me against my will and forced me out of Central Oregon.
  • Helps my Transition.
  • Just hanging out helps me cope with the trauma I’ve faced over the years caused by alot of extremely toxic people who I placed trust into that used me and destroyed my self confidence over time who has made me feel like suicide is the only way out.

Stream Schedules

Posted on September 8, 2020 by WonderingRaven

Thinking of going with this as a stream schedule:
Starting at 7pm pst weekdays and early on the weekends.

Mon – Sub Chat only Warframe
Tue – Sea of Thieves
Wed – Sea of Thieves
Thurs – Random Game
Fri – Podcasting / Talkshows
Sat – Random Game
Sun – CTF

Mondays Warframe is  sub chat only due to the fact I have been streaming this game for well over 2+ years and playing this game since 2014 I’ve shared with the world from MR0 to MR28 and I got very little to no support from the community,  I’ve done everything and still never got accepted as partner and I am still being ignored for being a content creator. So, if you support my Warframe content toss me a prime sub to chat or write DE and tell them to wake up and notice me senpai!

We are going to create stuff on stream for friday nights podcasting / talkshows and discuss various of topics and that will become the new podcast idea. In rotation,
WRnet:Sec -> Hack the Transition -> Touge SW -> Maybe Slackware 101
Random games, is the various stream time, from finishing up boarderlands 3, Battle Royal Game, or an FPS / RPG game.

Sunday’s CTF will be focus around Hacker101’s CTF.

Holding back on some stream things

Posted on September 4, 2020 by WonderingRaven

I gave over 2 years of Warframe Content from being MR0 to MR28 quest and dug into all the new content and I have met all their requirements since I’ve started applying to now defunct partership in 2018 and got denied with a generic reason and since then I’ve been ignored with future requests to being ignored with the Content Creator program.  DE doesn’t seem to see that with me and their partners / content creators seem to turn a nose to me as well.

I love this game, I love creating it’s content and helping new players out all the time. But Digital Extremes doesn’t want me to keep doing this for you all and because of that I can’t stream this game title on twitch anymore.  It was fun, but hey. I will continue to help and assist others but this will be offline.

I am tired of being ignored, I offer too much and give too much back with nothing in return especially when I have done everything to be apart of their team.

So, if you want Warframe back on my weekly schedule I’d start flooding DE to do something positive.

Thanks for reading.

Time to thrive…yet again.

Posted on September 3, 2020 by WonderingRaven

Hello! And welcome to another blog post.

This is September, so I turn 41 and I couldn’t help but to reflect these past 20+ years.
How I am just nothing but a failure on anything I’ve set myself out to do.

I started with wanting to build a video game and I’ve pivoted into a black hat, that pivoted into a software pirate and at one point I took over an ISP that got me to pivoted into a working class from there, turned white hat and in a pivoting moments of my career.

I started WRnet as a community with in one day to open up my own place for not just an arcade, but a hackspace for anyone that wanted to learn and get into cyber security and or any field of IT in a more relaxed environment and potentially an incubator for small businesses to blossom in time.

I also started RavenPC, as both a PC Repair and start my OWN brand of computers that had preloaded slackware linux on them and promote and teach people how to use linux in replace of Microsoft Windows and this including Linux gaming rigs. I went as far as going to Central Oregon to start up this business only to get stabbed in the back and my idea was tossed aside because of someone else was beyond greed and thought to profit on my work to a point I was Held against my will one day because I helped a friend with their website behind their back.

I picked up Dorkmedia because I was inspired by AndMedia picked up bumfights and such back in the early 2000’s I wanted to rival them but that was an utter failure. To this day it’s my pivot point for webhosting / web design and more that gets ignored no matter how much I market it.

In many ways, I feel like I am banned from the internet itself or any type of business or any type of business opportunities.

Every time I do a pivot to change a point in my life to start up something, it always results in a failure and I feel like.

I am at a point where I could focus on building a video game and starting small like RPGmaker and build my story over again from the original comic book idea. But until I leave this casino job, I got no time on my hands and no motivation to do so.

I can’t go back to work for an ISP, because they cannot afford to take on a risk and bring me in because of the way I used to be before. Can’t blame them as they have told me before I was worth only Min. Wage and took advantage of that for a long time as I built and sharpen my skills with IT and Cyber Security with them as an Network & Server Admin, Cyber and InfoSec monitoring, development and implementation. I helped architect and build their framework of their internal network since I started with them and to this day it remains the same just with more people.

This time, I only asked if I could come in and put together a whole infosec / cyber security part of their ISP. I never once asked for money in doing so, never nor less I was shot down by the owner’s pride. I worked for the ISP twice from 2000 – 2007, returned 2011 -> left 2012. That was a pivot point I wanted to follow down the path to or at least I could have been contracted for such things to sling shot myself out. I shouldn’t have tried because every time my feelings get hurt even when the owner shows somewhat of a friendship towards me, to his eyes I feel I am just cheap labor and my dreams is nothing  but a waste of time and apparently money too. I am just done pivoting so I figured I’d try this ISP one more time before I give up completely but I have tried and it was shot down so now we move on.

In 2012, I pivot to work in the casino’s where I felt it was a huge mistake, most it has done was shown me a way to believe in my self confidence levels again as I have had nothing but metal abuse from the ISP owner, My ex-wife, my ex-business partner in central oregon. I learned a new meaning of self-worth and became better with myself and honed my skills even more to a point I finally found my focus in life.

I can keep pivoting around, but until I get some type of help, I am nothing more than a “street rat” and only thing that is keeping me afloat is a casino job where the mental abuse returns in a different form surrounding the casino politics and back stabbing employees who benefit from others without doing their work while the blind continues to lead the blind and get paid for it.

And here I am about to turn 41, second birthday without my best friend to talk to. I am in that point for a new pivot in life. I want to stop pivoting and just go from here and grow with my own community and build my framework and move up with my own. But I feel like my next pivot isn’t going to be a good one because I am on the verge of quitting my casino job already after 6+ years as I just can’t take the abuse anymore.

How can I not pivot anymore? I offer services that I often spam and tell others but only to see them buy things from others and I get totally ignored from. If no one supports me, how can I grow? How can I be seen? I was born on the streets I never got that privilege of money and investments to make more money.

Still thriving as I have been around for 20 years+ and trying at least. My pivot back is now trying to build a community with streaming on twitch part time, trying to get to that point where I can apply for partnership turn this into an online resource not just for gaming but for Slackware knowledge, hacking knowledge and so on a place we all can share and relate in various different ways especially our hobbies. But I am feeling a pivot from this as well as it’s not doing anything but help my self confidence to talk to people again.

On that note, the TL;DR. been going at this for over 20+ years, I am tired of pivoting and dealing with the mental abuse of others, I need your help to make this dream a reality.

WRNet: -> this site
DorkMedia -> Web design, hosting, eCommerce etc…
WRNet:Sec -> InfoSec and Cyber Security
RavenPC -> Computer Brand
