My tips on speeding up MovieStarPlanet

     I made an artbook about how to speed up MSP soon after I joined, but it's been awhile since i've posted it so I thought I would update it and post it as a blog and make a video!
I'll be sharing six tips I use or have used to make my computer lag less, especially on MSP

     The number one to keep in mind is because MSP is flash website, some computers just will never be able to run it fast. So if you try all these tips out and MSP is still very laggy- you're probably just out of luck, unfortunately.


On to the tips

   The one thing that most people know is to turn your friends list off!
Some users call this "going on hide'  To do it you need to click the MSP logo in the left hand corner of the screen. Sometimes this doesn't work so may need to log off and on again until it works. The only con to this, is you will not know if you get messages and some members of this site may send you a lot of messages in a row or send your nasty messages if you don't respond quickly. A lot of people put "on hide" in their status to try and prevent this :]


     The 2nd things is to Shut down all background programs that you can and make sure MSP is
the only tab open.

     The 3rd thing is to never use a constant moving animation on your status, OR after posting your status change your avatar to "stand" but don't save your status again. That way people will still see the animation your choose on your profile, but it won't be slowing down your game.

      The 4th and possibly the best tips that is also the hardest for most users to do is make sure you computer is NOT on a wireless connection. I know this is very difficult if
you live with a lot of people or use a laptop but it should help a lot!

     5th is to use a different browser. On my computer firefox is the slowest, Chrome is in the middle (sometimes it runs fast sometimes it barely runs at all) and the best is Internet explorer. I know that one sounds crazy, and I honestly never use IE but when i'm on fame boost I like to help myself out,  and FF would not run so I decided to try IE and it ran like a dream. Maybe it's becasue I have no add ons on it, who knows. So, if you have IE on your computer, try it out. Maybe you'll find it solves your lag issues!

     And my last tip is to uninstall everything that isn't needed or used a lot. Say you have an old game installed that no one has played for months,get rid of it! Clearing up space can speed up everything. You could also just install more ram or take your computer into a professional to have it cleaned up if you have the money. If you share a computer don't do this without their permission and never un-install anything if you don't know what it is.

     That all i've got for now! If you know of any other tips that I may have missed feel free to leave them in the comments!

Happy Thanksgiving

:D Happy Thanksgiving to all of you that celebrate it

Break

After my VIP runs out on USA i'm going to focus on my account of Spain for a while. I'm still going to get on USA, as I don't want to ruin my log in streck (its been 375 days so far) but i'm not going to be very active on it.

New Facial Features!

Today MSP has updated something for the first time since i've joined! You know..besides the (almost) weekly themes and the app..but ignoring those- today we have gotten the first update (that I can think of) in a long long time!

Okay, so it's not that impressive. But! They have added new facial features to the site! I woke up at 4am this morning and scrolled through instagram, as you do, and saw someone posting about this. In their caption they said they hated it and "what's happening MSP" You guys know I have a flair for the dramatics, and if I was a touch younger I would probably be saying the same thing (heck, I say "omg I hate you youtube this is so ugly" whenever they do anything...so I understand the instant hatred of anything new) but i'm actually quite fond of some of the new looks. I think what will turn most people off of them is that they are very flat.

But they are so cute! I wrote most of this article hours ago when I had only seen them on my phone, but looking at them now on my computer is so much better! You guys. I really love this update :x

And if you still hate them after seeing them on a computer just remember they could all look like this...in fact, I think it would be a good April fools prank to turn all the users eyes to this xD 

You do not have to pick any of these new looks and MSP has not gotten rid of the old ones, so complain if you need to, but at the end of the day, the only thing this update will do is let us have more diverse faces on MSP! And I just don't see how that's a bad thing.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that eyebrow texture 

Vom

I logged on to MSP and immediately I got a message that said "hey mom." barf xD

I understand you are not getting your parental needs met by your real guardians, but you are not going to find it in me either...unless you like being ignored because let's be honest, that's what you're gonna get from me c;

Plus...there are kids on MSP that are young enough to be my actual children (if I had kids really young) and I just don't need that reminder rn.

New Site

I'm currently working on setting up a MovieStarPlanet help site.
I will still be writing on this blog, but I wanted a place that was less personal and easier to find information.
A site that was more  more about the MSP community as a whole, and not just about me.

I would love help writing articles for the site, both about your personal experience on MSP and actual help guides for the site. If you are interested in helping/sharing your story- please email me! (Enirhtakb@gmail.com)  I also really would love people to proofread the site- if you read this blog a lot, you know my English is not the best, so if you ever see something on that site (not this one) that has questionable grammar, or just doesn't make sense at all, email me for that as well :D


I think thats all for now, the website is live but there really isn't any information on it yet :D But as of right now you can find it at https://sites.google.com/site/themoviestarplanetguide/

How To....Take A Screenshot

This is going to be the start of my How To series on this blog :D It will mostly be focused around a MSP themed instagram but there will be some regular MovieStarPlanet things sprinkled in as well. The first thing will be how to take a screenshot! I think its the most important thing to know how to do if you want to run a successful game themed Insta! Taking a photo of your screen is okay from time to time but it should be avoided when possible!

This is something you can find easily by looking it up...but I do get a lot of people asking me how to do it

PC

First up, How to take a screenshot on a PC! There are a couple different ways but the easiest is to press the PRTSC (print screen) button, on my computer you also need to hold down the FN button. You need to do so if it is the smaller text on a key. Once you have pressed the button you'll need to paste it in whatever photo/art program you use. Paint is the easiest! 

      This is what mine looks like

You can also use the Snipping Tool. This will let you take a screenshot of a specific area and not just the whole screen. To find it go into your search bar type "snipping tool" then click it and there you go~

Mac:

I personally have not used a mac in years, but according to their website this is what you do:

Take a screenshot of part of your screen

Press Command-Shift-4. The pointer changes to a crosshair pointer.
Move the crosshair pointer to where you want to start the screenshot.
Drag to select an area. While dragging, you can hold the Shift key, Option key, or Spacebar to change the way the selection moves.

When you've selected the area you want, release your mouse or trackpad button. To cancel, press the Escape (esc) key before you release the button.
Find the screenshot as a .png file on your desktop.

Take a screenshot of a window

Press Command-Shift-4. The pointer changes to a crosshair pointer.
Press the Space bar. The pointer changes to a camera pointer.
Move the camera pointer over a window to highlight it.
Click your mouse or trackpad. To cancel, press the Escape (esc) key before you click.
Find the screenshot as a .png file on your desktop.

Experimenting

     If you watch MSP videos on youtube you have probably came across more than your fair share of angry videos. Most revolve around people "cheating" whatever that means. Everyone who makes the videos seems to have a different definition. Anyways, one of the videos I see the most is people complaining that someone is "super unpopular" and they only way they get views or likes on their stuff is if they do it themselves.

     So that's what i'm gonna do.

     

     On a smaller server i'm gonna try and get my own movie to the top. So far i've worked for about an hour in total and have made 13 accounts. I'm sure if you sit down and do it consistently (and have a good computer) you could have made more..anyways. So far, 13 is not enough for the top page, but it's a good start xD

     I also recorded part of it in the beginning as a sort of "proof" video, I wanted this to be on the record that yes I, EnirhtakB, did get my own video to the top (if I actually do). It's not a rumor. I'm only doing it to the movie "Joke SM 1" on the Spanish server and if I do it for any others I will have it listed on this blog (possibly on this page). The movie will most likely be deleted after I make it to the top, as I do not want to cause any problems with people on the Spanish server.  (mostly because there are some angry people on that server and I just cannot xD Their top player is very nice though~ I follow her on insta...it's just some of the other users seem like they are too deep in MSP and should probably take a break.)

    Anyways, I'm gonna go back to watching again~ I'll post the video I made and update this blog if I actually do get around to making it to the top :D

Edit: I gave up soon after making this blog :x I'll probably try again some day-but I can't imagine there's anyone on MSP who actually gets there own stuff too the top all the time...unless they run a script to do it for them. 

The Gender Tag

I've done this on my ASMR channel a while ago, but I thought, might as well do it here too :D I wish I had someone to talk to about all this kind of stuff as a kid so maybe reading someone elses thought might help? 
Although i'm trash at helping people, you can always email me at EnirhtakB@gmail.com if you ever want to talk to someone who doesn't know you about as issues you might have, or issues you may be to scared to tell people afk about. 

The Gender Tag

1. How do you self-identify your gender, and what does that definition mean to you?
 I don't identify as any gender. So I guess you could call me a "non binary" person or whatever other term people use to describe people who don't identify as male or female. 
2. What pronouns honor you?
 Whatever people want to call me, i'm okay with. If people really really care, She/Her pronouns are what most people who call me. I don't usually like being called "they" though. It's just not my thing. But, when it doubt- use they. That's what I usually do when I talk about someone and I don't really know them well. 
3. Describe the style of clothing that you most often wear.
 ...Normal? I think if most people saw my wardrobe they would think "boring emo" xD 
4. Talk about your choices with body hair. How do you style your hair? Do you have facial hair? What do you choose to shave, or choose not to shave?
  I rarely cut the hair on my head (tbh I rarely brush it too). I have a bit of dark facial hair but I usually shave it off, I've never professionally waxed my eyebrows. Although I kind of want to, just to see what I would look like. I tried to wax my brows at home once and ripped off so much skin :x 
  My face is the only thing I shave regularly. Every once in awhile I like to shave my legs and under my arms, but not too often. Just whenever the mood strikes. 
5. Talk about cosmetics. Do you choose to wear makeup? Do you paint your nails? What types of soaps and perfumes do you use if any?
  I rarely wear any sort of makeup. When I was younger I would slap so much make up on my face because I hated myself. It was so bad that at night when I got out of the shower I would put makeup back on because I didn't want anyone, even family, to see me without it. If I forgot to put some on before school I would make myself sick so I could go home. I stopped wearing it for a few years and now that i'm not so self conscious I do like to play with it every once in awhile, but if I ever think any bad thought about myself or think about how others will see me, I wipe off all the makeup and don't wear any. I'm always fearful i'll fall back into my old ways. 
 I will do my nails like twice a year.
 When it comes to soaps I just use whatever is cheapest and smells nice. I'm not brand loyal so I can't list any specifics. 
6. Have you experienced being misgendered? If so, how often?
Not really? I mean i'm sure most people assume i'm cis girl because of the way I look/dress most days- but it's not something that really bothers me. 
7. Do you experience dysphoria? How does that affect you? 
Yes! I have wanted a reduction since I hit puberty. I have thought about getting full top surgery, but I'm not 100% sure that would make me happy. Most days, I don't think about it, but it really sucks not feeling comfortable in the clothes I like :l I really wish I was flat chested. There are days when I really wish I had a male body as well. Although I recently have started to think of myself as a part of the trans* community (although on the outskirts of it) I don't know if transitioning is something that would make me happy. It's not something i've given really serious though to yet. 
8. Talk about children. Are you interested in having children? Would you want to carry a child if that were an option for you? Do you want to be the primary caretaker for any children you may have?
I don't really like kids. I can't see myself ever having to have one. But, in the future if I do happen to have a partner that wants kids, I wouldn't be 100% opposed to adopting/fostering older children. But I have no interesting in having a baby in my house. 
9. Talk about money. Is it important to you to provide for a family financially if you choose to have one? Is it important to you that you earn more than any partner you may have? Do you prefer to pay for things like dates? Are you uncomfortable when others pay for you or offer to pay for you?
It's not importants for me to make more then my partner...as long as we can support ourselves and our happy, that's all that matters. I would not want to be in a relationship with someone who felt they had to make more money though, that just sends off so many red flags in my mind. I've never been on a real date, but I think if its a first date the person who initiated it should pay, unless other wise talked about. Personally, I think everyone should just pay for themselves. 
I'm not uncomfortable when people pay for me or offer to pay for me..mostly because i'm broke and not gonna turn down a free meal xD Unless they are creepy and seem like the type to make people owe them....then theres no want I would let them pat
10. Anything else you want to share about your experience with gender?
 I guess this mostly goes out to other people, but just know there's no right or wrong way to be a person. If you identify as a girl, you can like cars and being buff, that doesn't make you a boy. If you identify as a boy and you can like to wear skirts or wear makeup, that doesn't make you a girl. It doesn't make you a freak or weird. You're just a person. What's between your legs does not decide what your interest are. You're not trans just because you like things that society tells you not too. 
It's all about how you personally feel. 
 Remember, no matter what you are, you never have to tell another person before you are ready. Some people will be ready to come out at 12 and others will need more time. That's okay! Take your time and try to not to force yourself or other out before they are ready.
