We had a storage warehouse on our realm already, but I really wanted a space for plant-specific storage for the ten million oak leaves I inevitably need to save for custom trees -- so I built us a greenhouse! I think this might be the largest build I've done yet!!

A couple of things have labels, but for the most part storage spaces are delineated by the plants themselves -- barrels for a particular type of leaf have the corresponding sapling sitting on top, flowerboxes show off what kinds of flowers go in the barrels next to them, etc. I really wanted the space to have practical room to store EVERY PLANT, but to also feel like the primary purposes is growing and enjoying them.

And bonus planning sketches:

it took a LOT of planning -- these are just a few of the sketches I did trying to figure out where everything should go. IT WAS HONESTLY QUITE INTIMIDATING TO SORT OUT, I can't believe it's done!!

Also, a couple shots of the little dirt storage room just b/c I think it turned out nice too:

If you wanna watch me walking through the space (these screenshots don't quite show it all), I streamed a little tour recently over here!

ETOILES LEAVING A RESPONSE FOR THE RESISTANCE MORE OR LESS LIKE "yea i can get Felipe Minecraft to join us! i'll ask him on discord i mean he follows me on instagram too" (paraphrased) AND THEN CLOSING THE BOOK LIKE 😎 "I DO RP" AND THEN GIGGLING

its so frustrating to watch Tubbo get so close to the truth and yet BBH's masterful gaslighting makes Forever too frustrated to persue this... as a BBH POV main, im proud, but as a Tubbo enjoyer, fuuuuuuuck!!!!

This is a block game

They place blocks

Less people are upset over Felps square because it has a certain charm to it.

He does it all by hand.

He does it with his family.

He is Felps.

It will bring up the property value because Felps made it.

He does it slowly so we can see the progression.

It’s less deep

Tubbos square however, has none of the charm. None of the whimsy.

He did it with a machine.

It will probably be done in a day.

He does not have the immunity of being Felps

It will bring down the property value

Less fun memories with the Tubbhole.

Bitch goes down to bedrock.

I'm losing my mind wdym qcellbit is trying to get a restraining order against qforever bc he broke the server rules?? didnt he and qbad have to convince qforever to even go along with the contraband plan in the first place?? wasn't he against it??

[svtskneecaps]

in the midst of this fucked up bullshit i love this server for the simple fact it went

"i think we should keep this secret, just between us three"

"we should tell bad i think, us three and bad"

And if I say that this was my least favorite egg death will I be called a little hater?

Something something “it’s for the lore” something something “the admins know what they’re doing”….Empanada and Ramon kept going back into the fight to the point where they were practically asking to die. I’m not surprised Em died, I’m just a little frustrated that’s the way she lost her first life. It felt a little railroad-y and boring. I respect the admins. Love the admins. This is just annoying and frustrating to have happen. Shoutouts to Bagi tho her vocal acting was insane when Em died.

something I'm noticing/appreciating/finding interesting in dark souls lately is how different builds, investing in different magics and stats, can serve to redistribute what (especially second-order) soul costs you pay for

like obviously a martial build is likely to spend more on leveling where a mage is going to buy spells. but then also, comparing my pyro/dex/sorcery character to my str/faith character - the latter spends plenty of souls also on routine gear repairs. the former has essentially negated that cost, because she has the Repair spell! but what she doesn't have access to, that my knight does, is the Homeward miracle - so for farming a resource, she needs to purchase a lot of (single-use) homeward bones instead.

there's also the way someone investing in int has easier access to non-consumable weapon buffs than others - the faith buff spells are single-copy-per-character and gated behind covenants, while the sorcery buffs land pretty much in your lap on each playthrough. so then for damage boosting, a non-int character has more motivation to spend on (single use) elemental resins.

anyway, point being I really like the design aspect of this in how it helps to avoid unbalancing different build choices you can make in the game as a whole
