My partner made a terrible comment about Minecraft's bundles that I think tumblr would appreciate.

So, you know how you need to remove all the items in the order they appear in up until you reach the one you actually want, right? Which- Gets super messy and ends up with 300 inventory items dropped on the ground while you're digging in your bag to get that goddamn pot.

Well. Uh. They noted, with their very limited knowledge on it, that uh...

they literally reinvented homestuck's terrible captchalogue's systems, huh
