dsmp is anti mentally ill and ghostbur should have been a part of cwilbur! he is an eerie posthumous reminder of the harm c!wil caused while also representing his capacity for kindness/his most intimate and vulnerable emotions in retrospect to his past mistakes. This ideally would function as both a humanizing, nuanced approach to portraying the mentally ill but also a constant reminder of who he hurt and left behind in his suicide who loved him. C!wilbur, the character, who is ALSO GHOSTBUR, should have physically haunted the damn narrative. I think the ppl who “wrote” for dsmp are fucking weird and never should have touched these topics tho so actually nvm. They woulda found a way to ruin that too. lalalala (in my World where everything is good and nothing is made without love and care)

I don't think rewriters are bad people for not writing every single character as a good person. The canon series doesn't even make them all good. Including the uncomfortable and dark content doesn't make people bad or mean they support it.

With the recent influx of cannibalism, do we seriously believe those people support eating folks? No. Why do we think or assume people are evil or bad for writing other similarly dark themes? A lot of people include themes of abuse, like making parents bad, because it's an outlet for themselves, do we just hate venting and victims? It's weird.

( not "proship". just think it's weird to shun or attack people for writing abusive garte or keeping the whole ein thing)

honestly I'd (kindof) forgive the minecraft movie if it was mostly practical effects instead of cgi

people who think bedrock edition is "as good as" java edition have only ever played minecraft by starting like 12 new worlds a year where they build the same 7x7x4 oak plank brick, get killed by a creeper while looking for diamonds, and give up trying to get their stuff back.

players who prefer bedrock have never even seen a piston. players who prefer bedrock have literally never thrown an ender pearl. probably haven't even beaten the ender dragon before. people who prefer bedrock probably think the silverfish is a modded creature.

"bbbut bedrock runs better--" if you are building the same 7x7x4 oak plank brick and mining at y=40 and getting blown up by creepers then JE and BE run exactly the same on the same hardware. higher render distances doesnt mean shit without an elytra and your ass is not finding a nether fortress anyways

i feel like the lifesteal fandom is like. the weird cousin to of the greater mcyt fandom. like yeah you're all minding your business at the family reunion and then you overhear from your cousin that you don't really know that well some shit like "yeah bro. he just revolutionized exploiting and managed to ban the server owner because he decided to be evil one day. also poopies-" and when you bring them up on it they don't elaborate. "wasn't this a server about stealing hearts?" you ask, but they just murmur something about a wormhole and you never hear from them again until the next family reunion. like a ghost in the wind

actually, tangentially related to that last minecraft post, im thinking about like. farms. and why they're so satisfying to make.

any time i see a minecraft video about whatever type of automated farm, be it an iron farm, a slime farm, a gunpowder farm, a raid farm, or even like, a villager trading hall, there's always someone in the comments section complaining that the person isn't playing the game right, and that they're abusing game systems, and that they're taking the fun out of the game by automating it because the game is ABOUT exploring and mining and whatnot, and they should just play in creative mode if they want infinite amounts of [x] item.

but for me it's like... "breaking" the game is the entire point of the game. that's the fun part to me. i love when games have restrictions in place but also let you bypass those restrictions, whether that's intentional¹ or via exploit². (also why i dislike exploits getting patched. i don't care that it's breaking game balance, i'm doing it because its fun.)

¹ stardew/story of seasons making you water plants, but later giving you the ability to make sprinklers, atelier ryza's item replicator, etc ² automated minecraft farms that rely on weird spawning rules, the fortify restoration potion glitch in skyrim, item duping in any game.

will i ever need an infinite supply of iron? no. will a farm's production output outpace the same amount of iron you could get if you spent the same amount of time mining with Fortune III? probably not.

but that doesn't matter. the point of it isn't "get more iron", the point of it is seeing a game mechanic (iron golems dropping ingots on death), seeing another game mechanic (villagers spawn iron golems when they are scared and don't already have one), combining those two mechanics, and then scaling it up to absurd levels.

the limitations of "you need iron to craft certain items" and "you need to go dig a hole to get iron" have both been beaten. the puzzle has been solved. so now I can move on to the next project of "using the vast quantities of iron produced by this system to construct a storage system to hold all of my iron" (which will get interrupted partway through by me realizing that i need more wood to build all these chests and oh hey, you can make wood out of bamboo so let me go build a farm for that-)

Knowing that most of Mojang's devs are also Minecraft players, I imagine one of the worst parts of developing the game is when the community discovers a really cool bug and you have to sadly go to your desk to patch it out

Man, does time fly. My plan was to post a new page of Exploits of a Masked Mercenary at least every week, but it's been two already. This was actually the first thing I drew before the first page of the comic, with the idea that I would release it as cover art for the full chapter. The resolution is like an eighth the size of the comic pages, so I'll either have to repurpose the traced version I used for page 3 or make a new cover.

i have been listening to videos about Minecraft drama in an ancient anarchy server I will never go to and it is honestly incredibly entertaining

I think the verdict is now very clear about when the Minecraft Silver Age ended.

my current struggle is getting too far into in what i assume is a sandman-related post only to be crushed and confused when the tags read dsmp

either spoke chunkbanned himself or hes trolling or they were both trolling

Having to explain to young people that in my day our Jojo Siwa was called 'butt rock' and rather than finding it on the internet, it was accessible only through skateboarding video games and middle school dances.
