everyone's rightfully devastated about cool minigames going away or worried about people not finishing up everyone they wanted to do. me personally I'm mourning the postal system before it's dead. I know you were infrequently used and painful to create but you carried on the tone set early on by the hermits of easy casual sociability. you also gave us the gift of bdubs threatening to send joel a bomb in the mail so I'll never forget you

Emily saying "this is the first time we've had a dildo on the show" and Zac yelling "NO IT ISN'T" like the Gorgug just jumped out of him for a second

in this sunset age of season 10, here's your moment to appreciate Joe Hills, the original new guy. Joe's been here since five weeks into season 1 and is one of the 'hermitcraft council' (the hermits who tend to take on more of the admin work). Joe does hermitcraft slightly differently, but still with the mad ambition of any hermit.

You'll find Joe's builds are matched to maps and blueprints and built to a calculated scale (Castle Ravenloft, The Evergiven, Wizards of Wine Winery, Deepfield Pinball Machine, Castle Hohenzollern, Bell Hooks Laboratory).

Joe's art is not about building, however (it's not content, it's art). Joe is the master of malicious compliance and finds an obscure place in many hermitcraft events and stories. He outplayed Grian in the S6 prank war by calling in an IOU banning Grian from retaliating. He ran season 7 without diamond gear, season 8 without elytra.

It's not about the challenge either, however. Joe cut his Minecraft teeth with ultra hardcore maps, but before that he was streaming art for the webcomic he wrote (Jacque of all blades) on the channel he set up to practice stand up comedy.

Joe has spoken often about curating a community, about ensuring bigots know that they are not welcome. He has spoken about ensuring he's paying his mods, his project manager and any artists he works with fairly (recently he paid a community member to help him accurately depict the way light refracts in a prism). He has mid roll ads turned off and has substituted them with a patreon tier that replaces ads with either a poem or a poetry prompt of Joe's own devising.

This is the Joe Hills difference, a focus on presenting a way of building an ethical community, of streaming in a style that makes it seem possible for anyone to stream, a focus on the hermitcraft community.

Joe Hills is your hermit if you like community areas, thankless tasks, and stubborn determination. Joe Hills is your hermit if you like Cleo's eternal torment (and partner in crime). Joe Hills is your hermit if you want to see someone with the worst luck in the world commit to putting 6 million armour stands into Cleo's storage system off the back of a joke.

Joe Hills (former tyrannous ruler of the hermitcraft server) is often overlooked, despite being Tumblr's duly elected MCYT sexyman. Joe Hills dropped the embargo on the ending of season ten by posting it on linkedin. Joe Hills is putting together the images for the guest streams. Joe Hills threw a coup to get us season two, Mumbo Jumbo, and ZombieCleo.

Joe hasn't gone quiet in the dying days of the server (she never does). So give their recent videos a watch and see how much thought he and Cleo have put into helping Impulse with Metro Mayhem season 2.

Did you notice the slight difference?

There was a character in a book I read once who was described as "handsomely fat" and that phrase is stuck in my brain forever. The author really was like "no shut up, they're charismatic, they're good-looking, they're handsomely fat. not just handsome AND fat; them being fat is directly contributing to their good looks. you agree." and they were RIGHT

so frustrating yet funny that this whole weekend i saw hopeful post after hopeful post that the president died and the announcement at 2pm would be unveiling vance as the new us leader, only to discover that actually we bombed many things, including a boat, and now our space shit is moving. i saw people preordering bouncy castles and shit to celebrate that fucker's death. we're at the point with this admin people are breaking open fancy wines at the IDEA the president dies.
