![]() ![]() At this point, I'm not even sure Seampunk could really be called a genre, not in the same way Fantasy or Science Fiction or Alternate History are. I've pondered this puzzle quite a bit over the past year as I've tried to get in on the Steampunk fun. This line of logic begs the question, though: What do I want from my Steampunk? If it's so hard to define, why is it so popular? What force allows marketers to slap gears on covers to make books sell? Why do we like it so much? What is it about Steampunk that's turned the collective crank of geek imagination so hard? Far be it from me to demand 100% truth in advertising, but if something is called Steampunk, then dammit I want more than a passing mention of a blimp! That said, though, as someone who's actively trying to read more "real" Steampunk, the tendency of marketers to take advantage of this nascent genre's popularity by slapping gears, antiqued fonts, and misleading copy on books that have only a tenuous relationship to Steampunk in order to trick me into buying is really pissing me off. You can't really lock it down, but it is certainly a thing all its own. So while it hits the Victorian time period more or less, it's far more of a Western (which, to be fair, is another area Steampunk loves to co-opt) than a story of Victorian adventure.ĭefining what is and is not "Steampunk" can feel a bit like trying to describe the smell of motor oil. Same with Cherie Priest's fabulous Boneshaker, another quintessential Steampunk book that takes place in America West during the Civil War. ![]() The gentleman (or gentlewoman) explorer/scientist is as much a Steampunk trope as the gears themselves.īut one of the most celebrated Steampunk novels, Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan (which, for the record, has the best interior decoration of any book EVER), takes place during World War I, decidedly after the Victorian era. In fact, considering how popular and well done Mieville's novels are, they should be cornerstones of steampunk literature, but they're not, which leads me to believe that Steampunk is more than technological.Īnother common element in Steampunk besides the actual steam is a Victorian sensibility. I agree with this sentiment 100%, but if dirigibles do not Steampunk make, what does? Because if we're defining Steampunk on a strictly technological basis, then any of China Mieville's Bas-Lag novels (King Rat, Perdido Street Station, etc) would count. ![]()

![]() I have a trailer for it that explains all of this in video form: Īlso, I am currently playing through the thing on my YouTube channel ( ) I'll find a way though! It'll probably be out in the next month or two however. I'm going to try and release it as a modpack on Curse Forge, but it really seems like that's harder than it sounds. Also, the first 4 regions of Pokemon being included is just stinkin' awsome in my opinion. For example, you could trade in a picture of a shiny Giratina for 4 Diamonds, or a Totem of Undying (you can continue to trade pictures of the same Pokemon, so 4 Diamonds might even be too much.Įssentially, I wanted to make a singleplayer experience that was similar to a lot of the Pixelmon servers, but without all the free-to-play and pay-to-win shenanigans that a lot of these servers suffer from. Each area also has several "NPC Traders" that trade pictures of Pokemon for rewards. There are over 200 specific trainers to fight that give rewards, including 1 fighter for each Smash character (because why not? lol). I also altered the JSON files for shopkeepers so some of these items aren't purchasable with Pokedollars, thus making BP mostly necessary (unless you find these items in Pokeloot). There are "BP Traders" in each area, that trade these emeralds for high value items like advanced held items such as Life Orb, Destiny Knot, Leftovers, Z Crystals, etc. Each Gym Leader gives BP upon defeat, as well as dozens of other trainers throughout the world. I also made a sort of "BP" or "Battle Point" system, where Emeralds are treated as BP. Each area has various levels of NPC trainers, really tough NPC trainers that give good rewards, lots of hidden items, specific Pokemon spawns, custom shopkeepers, and more. There are 18 Gym Leaders to challenge in these other areas, 1 for each type, as well as a few odd-ball ones like Hyrule Castle, or Chinese Temple. It's like playing through the games in Minecraft, but you can play through all of them while also working on your base and collecting other Pokemon. They have all of the Gym Leaders, Elite 4, Champions, Pokemarts, Pokecenters, Route Pokemon spawns, hidden items, and even trainers in the routes. ![]() ![]() I made a world/modpack that I'm calling "Pixelmon World" - It has nearly 40 locations (courtesy of various creators on Planet Minecraft), including the first 4 regions of Pokemon, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, created by Wireforks and filled with Pixelmon content by me. ![]() ![]() Archaeologists have also found a fragment of rock painting preserved in a limestone rock-shelter in the Kimberley region of North-Western Australia, that is dated to 40,000 years old. In the lowest layer of material at these sites, there are used pieces of ochre estimated to be 60,000 years old. However, the earliest evidence of the act of painting has been discovered in two rock-shelters in Arnhem Land, in northern Australia. More recently, in 2021, cave art of a pig found in an Indonesian island, and dated to over 45,500 years, has been reported. The finding was noted to be "the oldest pictorial record of storytelling and the earliest figurative artwork in the world". In December 2019, figurative cave paintings depicting pig hunting in the Maros-Pangkep karst in Sulawesi were estimated to be even older, at at least 43,900 years old. In November 2018, however, scientists reported the discovery of the then-oldest known figurative art painting, over 40,000 (perhaps as old as 52,000) years old, of an unknown animal, in the cave of Lubang Jeriji Saléh on the Indonesian island of Borneo ( Kalimantan). The oldest known paintings are approximately 40,000 years old, found in both the Franco-Cantabrian region in western Europe, and in the caves in the district of Maros ( Sulawesi, Indonesia). It was painted 40,000–52,000 years ago or earlier. ![]() Main article: History of painting Prehistoric cave painting of aurochs ( French: Bos primigenius primigenius), Lascaux, France The oldest known figurative painting is a depiction of a bull that was discovered in the Lubang Jeriji Saléh cave in Indonesia. Examples of this kind of painting range from artwork depicting mythological figures on pottery, to Biblical scenes on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, to scenes from the life of Buddha (or other images of Eastern religious origin). Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in still life and landscape painting), photographic, abstract, narrative, symbolistic (as in Symbolist art), emotive (as in Expressionism) or political in nature (as in Artivism).Ī portion of the history of painting in both Eastern and Western art is dominated by religious art. Painting is an important form of visual art, bringing in elements such as drawing, composition, gesture, narration, and abstraction. The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials, including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, and even whole objects. In art, the term "painting" describes both the act and the result of the action (the final work is called "a painting"). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used. Painting is a visual art, which is characterized by the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called the "matrix" or " support"). An artistic depiction of a group of rhinos was painted in the Chauvet Cave 30,000 to 32,000 years ago. Mona Lisa (1503–1517) by Leonardo da Vinci is one of the world's most recognizable paintings.

If you want the best cars I'd recommend using ISI/S397 ones.

The Ferrari 458 GT3 can do 2:16 in Spa with no problems both in real-life and in simulation. But there is BoP in place which slows down the fastest cars/drivers.

In the "World Fastest Gamer" I believe the record lap was 1:52:X, while the real-life record is 1:58:X if I'm not mistaken. Most sims, and rF2 is not excluded, sometimes have ridiculous records when it comes to lap times.
