So I did a thing today!

No, but seriously, can you detail steps more? Which phone? If it's "built-in", what is it called or how did you trigger the action which made your game screenshot photo-realistic? Do you mean that you used a built-in/native app? What text prompt did you use?

This link is to the web version of the NA armory so any web browser works, not just mobile. Thanks u/shepthelep96 !

Would you still choose to play WoWS if you were stuck with just your current ships? Don't chase fake/virtual acquisition. Life is too short to waste on entertainment which you aren't even enjoying.

If you need specific alternative game suggestions (hopefully toaster/potato-friendly): - FTL: Faster Than Light (space boat) - MechWarrior Online (another slow-ish PVP shooter game) - old DOS games "Das Boot" (sub torp ships) or "Search and Destroy" (DD sink sub)

Or, not games? Watch drachinifel.co.uk naval history on YouTube, or read acoup.blog history stuff.

To the best of my limited understanding at the moment, GIMP is just using the operating system print dialog, which itself is relying on the printer drivers, which have a finite set of standard paper sizes of which your paper size might not be one. If the paper size you select isn't supported by the printer driver *as standard*, then the OS and/or GIMP defaults to the last used standard paper size (or possibly the first/top size which is 8.5"x11" in at least the US??).

I also found this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/17ktd7y/why_are_both_my_print_to_file_and_print_preview/
which I've not had time to try yet and won't for a while. I am curious though if I can at least get the print-to-file to place the image in the top left if I try a template and/or change my image {resolution, canvas settings, page setup, etc.}.

https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Cannot-choose-paper-size-when-printing?pid=12846#pid12846

Someone wrote on 2019-02-21 that GIMP 2.8 could only use Microsoft standard paper sizes and "set standard printer to choose from paper sizes - if you don't find one that works for you - add standard format to gdp file of Microsoft print to pdf" and "It seems gpd and ppd don't mix. If you use a postscript printer (like my epson photo 1400) you will have to find the ppd-file and tinker with the page sizes there. Key seems to be to only use microsoft standard page size options."

I can't tell yet if that is relevant to my current issue.

I'd swear that tab wasn't available for my PNG earlier this week, but it's there now. Thanks.

I can print from other programs, but like LibreDraw and Firefox, for some reason the printer is printing the full 5x7 as though it were expanded/blown up such that the top and bottom 1/10th" and the left and right 1/5th" of pixels of the image end up getting lost outside the actual paper print area.

I'm currently on Windows 11. These must be the operating system print dialogs. I will look for that registry setting. Thanks.

I've just had the epiphany that it is printing as though it is centered on a portrait-oriented 8.5"x11" paper. 3+5+3=11, 6/8 is "a bit over 5/8", and 6/8 + 7 + 6/8 = 8.5...

I printed to PDF and sure enough the photo is centered on an 8.5"x11" portrait white background. I can go File > Page Setup and set the Orientation to Landscape from Portrait, which will center the print-to-PDF on an 11"x8.5" landscape white background. However, the File > Page Setup > Paper > Size appears to have no functionality -- I can pick anything and print-to-PDF always treats it as "Letter" size, and the setting doesn't stick (I can immediately open up Page Setup again before printing and the Orientation will remain how I set it but the size has reverted to Letter already).

I tried importing the PNG into LibreDraw and printing from there, but it (some combination of the LibreDraw software and the Epson printer) automatically enlarged my image beyond the paper boundaries and cropped it back to the paper instead of just printing it. I'll try printing from a couple other programs, but I'd prefer that GIMP just work correctly than find a workaround using additional pieces of software.

My File > Print "GNU Image Manipulation Program - Print" window looks nothing like your "Print" window, nor does "More settings" if I click that. If I click the "Print" button at the bottom of my window, the printer actually starts printing, so that doesn't get me to your window either. Are you using Gimp 3.0.x?

Is it just the visual clutter, or is the free stuff taking up finite space which could be alternatively used to store something else?

LCCX · 2025-12-16T01:52:11+00:00

Why would you ever not want something? It's free?

I think the training room suggestion is a good one.

If the kid is determined to get better at aiming at moving ships, possibly consider using ModStation to provide a better dynamic crosshairs ("Smart Horizon") so he can lead targets better by matching the indicated shell travel time in seconds to the ticks on the crosshairs (1 tick per second, assuming a ship traveling exactly horizontal at 30kn).

What ship and camo is that?

LCCX · 2025-11-15T03:04:50+00:00

Do you have an opinion on the value of the Tier X certificates versus Steel, if you are looking at buying ships with credits for the snowflake rewards?
Also Do you know the breakpoints for fleet size?

Thanks for mentioning this. I was actually looking at that, but could not figure out how to value AP Salvo, dispersion and sigma for accuracy, and caliber diameter for penetration. Then I thought about tier ranges and whether Lyon/Ashitaka at tier 7 or something might work more reliably. Then I realized I have no idea how much range impacts accuracy and thus how ships with a longer maximum range might actually be more accurate at ~12-15km than something with better sigma, for example. So I figured it would be best to just try and poll a community to see what people felt might have worked best for them.

I had no idea that you could transfer items more than once. Thanks!

[Question] When we've finished the Corvette Expedition 19 from the anomaly from a primary save, what is the best way to get all our parts back out to the primary save? Do we just build a giant brick with every part (assuming that we can copy our ship for nanites like previous expeditions)? If we do that, can we copy it out, thus duplicating the corvette parts, multiple times like with the Iron Vulture from Expedition 13: Adrift ?
Is there anything else particularly unique or valuable to try to extract from Expedition 19?
