I love how Impulse is still trying to ally with everyone similar to Scott's gameplay but Impulse's always backfires on him while Scott flourishes in that passive social game

Sometimes, you just have to make a 2 hour podcast episode to talk about your favorite fanfiction ever (not just hermitcraft but like, ever)

Redstone and Skulk by @silverskye13 is an amazing fanfiction me (chaos) and guest host Mallet have fallen in love with and now must spend multiple hours trying to convince everyone else to read it

Some Colleseum crew hands based on a photo i found and can't find again-

But it was really fun figuring out little details, like Tanguish and HK's scars[HK has smaller scars on his knuckles, cause i doubt he'd willingly keep scars of most hand wounds], how EB's hands would look[cause robotics are hard], and the little stars in Tanguish and EB's corners of the big star :)

Also, rendering hands is REALLY fun when you have a reference and some idea of what you're doing, apparently.

In which a knife is twisted

the just-a-little-guy-ification of grian, done by both grian himself and the fandom in imitation, has done serious harm to the fandom's ability to gauge just how efficient this man is at killing his friends. despite never getting boogey and rarely being an early red, grian racks up kills in the early game at a rate that literally nobody else does. it's against the rules to kill on green, after all, and from time to time people slip up, but since grian has the security of being the guy who makes the rules, he feels no such inhibition and sets traps at will long before the danger of red lives and the necessity of defense comes into play. this comment response from cleo perfectly displays the cognitive dissonance at play here.

the martyrification of scott smajor, done by both scott himself (working triple overtime) and the fandom in imitation, has done serious harm to the fandom's ability to gauge just how efficient this man is at warping the narrative in his favor. thanks to scott's considerable efforts, he's got most people convinced that he's a moral player who hates killing, that everything that happens to him is according to plan, and that jimmy is both terrible at the game and obsessed with scott, rather than the other way round. and don't even get me started on double life. there is nothing more moral about the way scott plays the game, he just happens to be really good at convincing you otherwise.

the girlbossification of geminitay, done by both gem herself and the fandom in imitation, is fine actually. yeah she sucks but i'm a feminist so i'm gonna let her have this one

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.

as if forcing its users to send photos of ID to confirm we're not children, youtube is pulling this insane shit:

go blow this shit up, seems to be because it's from a country where the currency conversion rate is super inflated, and youtube just pockets the majority of the money

[mleemwyvern]

Holding on, still holding on

How'd it get so deep? Yeah

Holding on, still holding on

I'm running out of breath, I'm scared to death!

Head Up -- The Score

last month of hermitcraft season 10 begins!

oh my god the comparisons between martyn's limlife win and his past life win are actually driving me insane.

in limited life, martyn notoriously won through betrayal. he agreed to a final fight on specific terms, and then immediately violated them. the first person he betrayed was his scott, his own ally, who was completely loyal to him up until that point.

in past life, he was loyal and honorable to the end. he never once betrayed cleo, and stuck with them until they died. he didn't turn on jimmy, even despite the fact that they were against three of the best players on the server. in the deathmatch, he volunteered to take the worst position, and still came out on top. and to top it all off, he likely wouldn't have won had grian not betrayed gem.

absolute cinema. it's a beautiful day to be a martyn inthelittlewood fan. i was not expecting him to even try to win. jimmy in the final fight as well is just the icing on the cake.
