I do nothing of merit. On occasion, I give the impression of being creative, but this is a deception. I am merely derivative in clever ways.

    Dropping in to try and find some art

    So my hard drive bricked back in the fall, and I finally replaced my computer with the stimulus money. But I don't really have a good way to try and recover the stuff that was on there, so that sucks.

    But, I was hoping for some help in finding one particular bit of pony art that I haven't been able to dig up again since then.

    Welp, that's just... everything fucked, I guess

    So back around June 20, I wrecked my car.

    Then back on August 28, the tires on my wife's car got torn up hitting something on the road, and we wound up needing all new tires.

    I don't think my cat likes my work

    So it's been a struggle to write anything, for various reasons, but I *was* trying to get back onto Legacy Ch 4 not long ago.

    Then today I was sitting at the table and started hearing faint tearing noises from behind me. I turned around and discovered that somehow my rough draft had wound up on the floor and the cat had done this:

    Random Encounter

    This was a fun moment. Choppy cause I had to remove a bunch of game speech commands and the usual bit of racist shit-talking.

    Also this was before I found out Scribbler did another reading of my stuff. I would have probably said that instead of RCL.

Ridiculous Minecraft Map Continues To Be Ridiculous · 2:33am Oct 8th, 2016

So in my last Minecraft blog, I talked about my random-seed map (seed 4275121694887994307 if anyone wants to try it themselves) that provided me with two desert temples and three desert villages, all within an easy walk of spawn.

Well, I finished the wall...

And finished clearing, leveling, and lighting the gardens.

I'll work out a more elegant lighting arrangement later. It was important that I get it lit up quickly because my house design isn't completely enclosed — there are archways that open into the garden area, and I wanted to turn off Peaceful without inviting every creeper in the game to come fuck up my everything. On that note, more interior details, including one of the archways.

But here's the important thing, where this game continues being insanely lucky. In the garden lighting picture, you'll notice I built a Nether portal at the far end (it's far away because I find the sounds it makes extremely annoying after a few minutes). On my very first trip into the Nether, this is what I saw:

Yes. My very first Nether portal dropped me right in front of a Nether Fortress, staring right at a Blaze Spawner. I effectively can build a blaze rod farm in my back yard.

Seriously, this game.


Bonus image: sunrise, also awesome.
