At the time I reacted to the canned response with indignant hostility, but I realized quickly that I was just lashing out because I felt hurt. Like I did something wrong that nobody even warned me not to do. I’m not great at handling criticism when it’s unexpected, and not having any of my arguments...

I was recently on a long rant on Discord thinking I was helping. I thought it was important to keep discussion open about a topic when it sounded like an opinion was being invalidated and forcefully shut down by a moderator. I argued my case with the few other non-moderator participants willing to d...

For anyone following my rants and and grumbles but not the addons page, I released the addon! Now we can all play the early game a bit less painfully (if we want to).

I basically always have the game bar or shadow play in the background going, I should remember to do stuff like this more often. It's always fun to record the crazy stuff that happens. Definitely! My workflow is record, open in VirtualDub, 50% resize filter, set beginning and end points and export ...

Worthless.

Never mind.

Okay, I did. 😊

I had the Xbox Game Bar running in the background so I could save the last 30 seconds each time. I then cut those down and turned them into gifs. Enjoy! And if you have any of your own, please share! I have these spoiler tagged because I feel it could be overwhelming if you see them all going at the...

No longer am I simply playing this game and failing and complaining and bailing from Discord because abandonment issues making me crazy. No, now I can actually do things, and make addons, and make friends, and stop myself from making enemies when people unwittingly hit my emotional triggers. Doing g...

I can avoid almost everything; but I can’t avoid creepers. They make no sound until it’s too late and you’re in the middle of doing something, secure in the false assumption that you’ve checked enough of your surroundings. Spawned in a new area, clear weather, broad daylight? BOOM! Jumpscare, and yo...

Taking EpicAaron’s advice on Discord and turning this post into a player diary as opposed to a focused dissection of gameplay mechanics, which let’s be honest, this hasn’t really been, has it? As for my gameplay experiences right now: I’m picking up some steam after committing to one save rather tha...

That’s a good strat. About the zombies: yeah, but they might despaaaawn! Gotta be some gambling aversion in my brain overlapping gambling addiction here. I don’t know what to call it, but seeing spiders pop back out of existence when I’m low on string bums me out too.

Maybe I shouldn’t be killing wolves to prevent starvation behavior making my surroundings more hostile. I’m starting to think I should intentionally die to them so that it’s at least a food source I can count on always being there through breading in the only no-tech way we have. Have I just created...

Hehe, what got you this time? Many things, but I just keep chasing that dragon so to speak. Latest exploit only made it to workbench. On a mountaintop penis bridge jutting out over the lake during a full moon night to get some fish. Used up my bait, and I see a zombie with a sword I want. Risk the ...

Coming away with a bad mood again because I suck at this game the way it is. I didn’t want to admit it, but I think I would go for that gentle mode right about now. Like if that’s all that’s on the table I’ll take it. I know if you make a core game element easier for everyone, it’s going to upset th...

Yeah, I suppose I’m just too long in an old and torn up world without lasting long enough to exploit it. It’s not that I only can handle certain biomes; it’s that I often can’t find food on the first day in the brief 30 seconds or so I have left, which really screws me over when it’s a (seemingly?) ...

Thanks, Aaron. I thought I was losing my mind. Like I thought I was missing something until you detailed the exact same process I go through each spawn. Like, we already know how to min/max the shit out of it, and it's still not adequate to guarantee a viable start. Like, I'm okay with unlucky spawn...

I want to preface this by saying I’ve sunk literally thousands of hours into this mod through its years of development. I love it more than any other game I’ve played, and I’ve been into games since the NES days. For this game to rank as high as it does on my charts means I’m not criticizing it ligh...

Phew, okay thanks. Yeah, I figured that was the case but wasn't sure. I mean, at this point we wouldn't know, right? He probably feels the same way though, with the wording he chose on exit.

This add on looks awesome. I’m going to try it out, but I have to ask… probably an inappropriate question. Is FlowerChild for real dead (RIP style)? Sorry, y’all. I missed the memo if so.

Okay, so, latest way I ended up breaking my ovens was a sort of elaborate process. I tinkered around in creative mode with various fire starting objects like campfires, ovens, torches and lava. So, knowing that the only block where fire can appear is directly in front of the oven, I brazenly stuffed...

How do I end up with a bunch of broken bricks, you say? I’m an idiot. 😂. Also sometimes I just want to move locations entirely because the original place I nested down in was shite, and I don’t mind making one oven out of a previous two. That being said, I pretty much want to hoard anything I can’t ...

I’m loving this update. Was a little off put by the huge health bar before, but I like how this just makes the pips more fractionalized. And I like how the more you screw up, the less brazen you’ll want to be going into combat. I think the default hardcore spawn settings might be a tad forgiving. I ...

Okay that makes sense. Like if it required bonemeal or something since that would at least be another tech level up from the baseline. I like how it is now over sugar cane bonanza that it was, and I trust your guys’ judgement. Really enjoying the Community Edition, not just because the changes make ...

Don’t get me wrong, I think the roots instead of reeds as growing material is brilliant. Could we get a rare chance to drop extra roots though like with cocoa beans? It feels kind of weird having something that grows unable to replicate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
