a japanese guy who made a bunch of creepy pasta videos a long time ago (you’ve probably seen Youtube666, he made that) is playing through minecraft for the first time and he’s not using any guides or anything other than the in-game guidebook and he’s fucking. doing it in such a buddhist way.
like, he’s so patient and detached from all of the stuff he’s gotten.
in the newest episode he destroyed 14566 blocks of bridge and blew up his original house just because he learned about xyz coordinates by accidentally pressing F5 and he wanted his house to be at the X:0 coordinate.
also look at this quarry. it’s his 5th quarry.
look at this absolute fucking massive hole.
and it’s not like “HELLOOOOO EVERYBODY WHAT IS UP, TODAY WE’RE GONNA BE PLAYING MIIIIIINECRAAAAFT” he’s just like. a quiet 30 year old japanese man who speaks very precisely and politely. and he even does his own english captions which are overlayed on the video and he uses emoticons like (0u0)/
he’s so wonderful and cute.
please watch at least like 5 minutes of this.
i PROMISE you you’ll smile.
i’ve been keeping track of piropito’s minecraft series since the beginning and i can promise you all 76 episodes and counting are well worth the watch because it’s incredible the LENGTHS this guy goes to learn and explore without help from others.
some highlights:
-spends literal HOURS upon HOURS building these long, seemingly endless bridges because he wants to reach “the ends of the earth”
-around episode 40, he’s learned the ins and outs of redstone but doesn’t realize you can sleep in your bed.
-the noises he makes when he’s afraid of enemies/dies are precious and gentle and not at all what you’d expect from a famous horror artist
-spends hours trading resources with villagers to get glass only to find out almost 50 episodes in that you can make glass from sand
-destroys several mountains of sand in the desert to not only fuel his love for glass, but also because “explosions are sugoi 0u0″
-sees a silverfish and
-builds a giant “machine” that runs on redstone, minecarts, and pistons that pushes colored sand through a massive glass window. it doesn’t do anything, it just pushes all the blocks to the bottom and breaks after a few minutes. piro seems very pleased with it.
-makes these complex shapes/structures in an attempt to create a nether portal, doesn’t realize it’s just a rectangle
-a fan made a skin just for him, complete with 0u0 face
-falls in lava multiple times, never gives up
-builds a giant coin pusher game for funsies
–NANI KORE?
-in short i beg of you to watch this gentle man play minecraft blind it’s so fascinating
Look, I love when people take the time to write an advice posts about a field in which they work in order to inform fic writers on things they get wrong a lot. That’s super appreciated and helpful. Thank you.
But listen: fic writers are not paid writers. They aren’t getting some commission. They don’t have a publisher. They only even get a healthy number of comments if they’re lucky. So can we stop with the condescending attitude. We get it. You work in that field, and it can be annoying to hear someone get it wrong.
However, a) just bc you work in that field doesn’t mean that the information you have, as an insider, is widely available. Most of the time, the stuff I see in posts like this–usually followed by the poster making some rude comment about fic writers–are just…how was anyone meant to know that? Just bc you know, doesn’t mean everyone else is an idiot for not knowing it.
And b) some embellishments are just fun. Look I know that most florists don’t know flower meanings, okay? I know. But sometimes it’s fun to fluff it up a little. Sometimes it’s just a fun story mechanic. Relax.
Fanfiction writers vary widely in their styles as much as everyone wants to act like they’re all the same. Some want to make something realistic. Something you could see happening in real life. Those writers are usually trying they’re absolute best. They’re probably spending hours looking for confirmation on some little detail that no one is ever going to notice. Disdainful remarks on your informative posts are not helpful with that.
Other fanfic writers are just looking to make a little piece of self indulgence. Be that fluff or angst or hurt/comfort. It’s a slice of cake. No, it’s not good for you. No, it has no real nutritional value. But people don’t eat cake for either of those reasons anyway.
Good advice: “Here’s some info that I’ve noticed fic writers don’t seem to know!”
Bad advice: “Here’s some info so you guys can stop looking like fucking idiots. God, do your damn research on your free fanfiction that you took time out of your schedule to type up without any real incentive except comments that you might not even get, you lazy fucker.”
hussie is a stone-cold killer; todd howard insists on making his darlings Essential, therefore he may be similarly reluctant to go all-out when fighting you
because of todd howard’s clipping issues and poorly-balanced stealth mechanics, his attack patterns and movements are a lot less predictable; hussie will actively telegraph half his attacks, and will spend enough time celebrating each genuinely unexpected one that you can easily regain your footing
Hussie has nothing to lose, Todd has everything to lose
Hussie’s inventory system is also very glitchy, and the glitch may extend to Todd. As a result, Todd’s weapons can become perfectly mundane objects at any time. Have you ever tried to cut someone with lipstick? It doesn’t work.
Todd has access to console commands, which in desperation he could use to achieve godmode.
Okay this has popped up on my dash again and I resisted the urge the first few times but now I can’t.
In college I was friends with a bunch of exchange students and went to a party off campus with them. After a couple hours the owners of the apartment called it a night but my friends wanted to continue to hang out. One of the other exchange students volunteered his place. Only problem was there were 10 of us and our only ride was a honda civic.
So we had a 6 foot tall Swedish dude with two Japanese girls on his lap in the front passenger seat, three Saudi students and me sitting in the back seat with two Thai students sitting on our laps and a Mexican-American woman driving.
I being paranoid asked, “What do we do if we get pulled over?”
The driver tries to look at me, “Do you speak another language or can you fake Swedish?”
“No, but I know ASL.”
She nodded, “Okay so the plan is if we get in trouble, no one speaks English and you’re Deaf.”
That was our plan guys.
This is the best comment I’ve ever had on this post.
I’ve seen posts lumping venom & the fish monster from shape of water together into the same category as pennywise and I must say it is…. Astounding to even imply they are all on the same level whatsoever like….
pennywise fuckers are the lowest of the low like… a monster that is ugly asf and just eats kids & minorities? hard pass. disgusting.
venom fuckers are a little better bc he’s got the whole tongue & teeth thing going for him but yr still gonna get eaten at the end of the day so? u know. unless ur into that
shape of water monster? the good gender neutral fish god? he’s the ONLY valid one out of the bunch you fuck him you get the package deal. get you a fish god that can kill for you, die for you, make you immortal so you can be together forever. get you a fish god with a sensitive side who will treat you R I G H T
I mean, if you wanna talk about ‘fuck, marry, kill’…
this is the funniest possible response to this post it belongs to you now
110% wrong.
Venom doesn’t eat people for funsies, he only eats the brains of bad people, and he’s canonically good with kids
Secondly, the symbiote, once bonded will be 100% loyal to you and will fight to protect you. Feeling sick? Boom, white blood cell booster. Feel underdressed for a formal event? Boom, instant fancy suit. Bought a big ass box of Valentine’s Day chocolate and don’t have anyone to share it? Boom, symbiotes canonically love chocolate.
Venom/Symbiote is waaaaaay higher on the list than the Abe Sapien clone, but enjoy your home constantly smelling of fish, high water bills, and painstaking algae cleaning every couple of weeks I guess.
Seriously, how could you say “no” to this lil guy?
these are all very good points! thank you for educating me on how badly i misranked venom !! fuckable AND friendly
A 22-month-old female scaredy cat tiger appeared to get the shock of her young life when she encountered a dead leaf floating on a pool of water in the Bandhavgarh National Park, India. Clearly unusure about just what was approaching her, the partially submerged youngster’s tail shot up in the air and with teeth bared she let out her most fearsome growl – all in an effort to scare the humble leaf away.
