Quick Important PSA

Fandom has been taking down those extremely intricate and helpful GameFAQs text guides because they're a terrible company run by rat bastards, so if you care about archiving those old guides for a smoother experience on the earliest generation of games, i've linked prograc's archive of just about every single one you can think of. make sure to download the whole 7z file (its ~2GB), as this is undoubtedly the most accurate and useful tool for anybody wanting to experience video game history.

You're Floating

Thanks to a great idea from @why-bless-your-heart, here’s a melancholy sea shanty about a colony ship!

(Sing it to the melody of Four Hours.)

~~~

Come, they said, into the stars Let’s sail past Jupiter and Mars You won’t miss a thing, no sight or sound Except the way you stick to the ground

You’re floating Feet off the hull You’re floating Brain in your skull You’re floating ’Til we reach Earth Two You’re floating Grab your magnet shoes

Come, they said, into the black It’s for the brave, no turning back You’ll live your life ‘tween here and there And maybe live to breathe fresh air

(chorus)

Come, they said, it’s for the best We’ll leave that planet for the rest And start a new one fresh and clean With history books of what we’ve seen

(chorus)

Come, they said, soon we’ll have two A pair of worlds for me and you With instant travel that goes both ways But only after we’ve spent our days

(chorus)

When I land on that Earth Two I’ll plant my feet that’s what I’ll do Bury me right there where I stand Crushed by gravity I can’t withstand

I’m floating No up and no down I’m floating Miss my old hometown I’m floating But what I miss more I’m floating Is when my feet stuck to the floor

a while back, out of sheer morbid curiosity, i went back to beta version 1.7.3 of minecraft (the earliest version i could find new records of people playing) yknow, to see what was different and if it was still any good that far back it was. um. not? i mean i guess i see the appeal but i couldn't play without the ability to sprint, no end, no enchanting, no hunger? but that's just me, again i see the appeal then, again out of morbid curiosity, i upgraded to version 1.0.0, expecting a similar experience i now have 142 hours on my 1.0.0 world. | v

this version of minecraft is, compared to today's vision of minecraft, simple so many things we tend to take for granted aren't there, like stained glass, hoppers, maps, item frames, villages, horses, stone walls... you get the point

i didn't expect to put more than an hour or so into this world before going back to my heavily-modded 1.16.5 world or making a new 1.20 world, but something about it just kept me entranced there were simple goals and simple ways to reach it, but the basic gameplay was just so fun

i've always thought modern minecraft was kinda bloated, and this really cemented that feeling; we didn't need frogs or ocean monuments or horses or redstone comparators or any of the stuff that has been added since that time

yeah, it'd be nice for some of the modern quality of life features to be available like pressing ctrl to sprint or sheep being able to regrow their wool, but it's not needed minecraft became popular because the concept is perfect as is; your imagination really fuels things before i realized i was having so much fun, i was doing things i had never done before in my thousands of hours of minecraft, like building functional mob grinders, mining out slime chunks, and making elaborate redstone contraptions

(the walls of the lower room in this pic ^ are made of mushroom blocks... that i had to manually push into the room one by one with pistons because silk touch only gave solid brown mushroom blocks, no red ones) when i decided i was getting bored of this world, i went to good ol curseforge and downloaded about a hundred mods for 1.16.5 and played that... for maybe five hours, then i went right back to 1.0.0. yeah, i know, those are kinda polar opposites in terms of content and bloat, but it says something, right?

(yes that's the animal crossing train station) the one thing i ended up doing in this world that i had never done, that i honestly thought id never do, was go to the end and kill the enderdragon. yeah, in thousands of hours playing this game, i never once beat it. id always make a world, dick around for a while, then stop playing and eventually come back and start the whole process again... that or id play on multiplayer servers. remember mineplex? i should ramble about that one day...

i had known about the ending poem, especially since the whole thing with it becoming public domain (have you read the author's blog post about that situation? where he talks about how he took a bunch of shrooms in the woods and God told him what to write, and the end poem was the result?) but i never read it because... well, i just never felt like it, really. reading it for the first time after my long playthrough of this simple, fun version of minecraft that i so quickly grew to love so much was... something else. id say you should read the poem (it's available online, obviously) but it really doesn't work nearly as well without the experience of a full minecraft playthrough backing it up.

all this talk and im not really sure what my point in all this is. i guess it's something along the lines of "you don't need everything to enjoy life. limitation breeds creativity, and simplicity can bring happiness." or something. i dunno, it's fuckin' minecraft. maybe try making a new world. and having fun.

oh yeah, also i never really got that "creepy feeling" most people seem to get in these older versions of minecraft. i got a little creeped out while strip mining but that's just me not liking corridors.

staring into bulging, terrified eyes does nothing to calm me out of my comfort but into a new type of comfort -control a feeling i can't remember having a bag covers what's next, but only out of necessity i would watch if i could stepping into a rain that i don't notice through the task ahead bang. bang. bang. the bag hasn't moved, but i should make sure it's only right bang. bang. it can't move anymore bang. shouldn't i feel bad?

the logical conclusion to being into a lot of fucked up fetishes is that the fetishes get so fucked up that you wrap back around into having a fucked up "being normal" fetish

happens to the best of us

i blocked you for the lolicon thing but i kinda miss you :( need to chain you up in a basement somewhere until your brain is fixed. i can fix you

brainwashing me to not find the most fucked up things interesting… what the hell…
