#I'm going 'mhh... I'd do a giant caldera instead' which is what I'll do as soon as I can just get myself to finish texturing it

Nah nah nah nah nah, you're... well you're speaking to you and you have an absolute point there, but what you're saying totally misses the mark with me
I'm not trying to build to a certain standard and comparing myself to others and giving myself a block because of that, I'm driven by a compulsion to carve a world that doesn't exist yet but almost does as I wrestle with my depression and trouble getting my brain to focus
Like to be blunt, more and more in minecraft if anything I'm arrogant. I'm not even saying I'm good, but I'm saying I look at other people's builds, sometimes even masters like Scar... and I go yeah... but I like how I'd do it better
So no my friend, my problem isn't I need to get more casual, it's that I need to get all these damn ideas out of my head
I need my brain to just texture the stuff I tell it to texture, I need to fight to grow my skills at stuff like exteriors and custom trees so I can bring my ideas to life with the skill they deserve, I need to get all these damn farms up and running so when building I can focus on placing blocks not harvesting stuff
I support the message of not holding yourself to expectations, but that's not what minecraft is about for me. For me it's about getting all these ideas out
Like I wouldn't spend a couple months working on wireless redstone if that's what I needed
I just need the power to create what's in my head
#mm minecraft#very well intentioned video saying not to worry about 'being good' at minecraft and to focus on having fun#which I think is what a lot of people need to hear especially when comparing themselves to youtube videos#but me? I just need to power to finish executing ideas#I need focus... and more and more I'm thinking I just need a way to play from in bed for my bad days#but seriously; I watch people play and I'm just like 'mhh... not how I'd do it' and it's not even cause they're bad#ok; concrete example; XB's guardian farm this season; very impressive#I'm going 'mhh... I'd do a giant caldera instead' which is what I'll do as soon as I can just get myself to finish texturing it#which is the easy part I'm just... always too hungry to focus on it#his is incredible... but... not at all to my tastes#I'm an overly serious ass and his is very fun and cartoony and I hate that shit for me; I want a volcano#but also I've never ever even once seen a guardian farm like I have planned... his is honestly the closest cause he kept the temple#but every farm I see has geometric walls; and I... I like the shape of my caldera; and honestly that's the hardest part#(the second hardest part will be building it)#texturing isn't bad it's just... a fight with my brain and I have a million things to do#but yeah... my problem isn't overly high standards though those do slow me down sometimes cause... it's not right yet#my custom tree over the nether portal has been on pause for like a year cause custom trees are hard; hardest thing I think#I think I like the roots I did but the trunk just... bleh... I think it probably looks too thin#...there's a whole lot I do that I don't know about#but like everything in life (literally) I may hate myself and the way I do things#but I'll take it over how everyone else does things any day
