oh my gosh this update is going to be so cool. SO COOL. Beautiful overworld stuff, terrifying deep dark stuff, new lore potential for ancient cities underground (I bet the archaeology stuff will be tied to that too), renewable clay, new woods, new blocks... oh my word I'm excited.
...looking at the sound-activated horrors of the Deep Dark and so freaking glad we didn't get the "I throw a hissy fit and scream when it's too dark" glare. O.O
gaaaaaah purple has the BEST chemistry??? H is an excellent leader when he trusts himself to be and doesn't hold back for fear of being "bossy," and Ren is an incredibly encouraging moral support general, and Martyn's knowledge of the maps and games gives them an edge, and Cub is just over there silently being amazing at it all and--
As someone who came to this game relatively late, I think I don't quite appreciate how drastically Minecraft has changed in the last few years. I look at these new shots of the deep caves and high mountains and it's just... amazing to think that THIS is where the block game has gone.
Joe spitting straight truth on Hermits Helping Hermits today.
[transcript]
JoeHills: “The people who are, quote, ‘internet celebrities’? Internet celebrity is just a new word for folk heroes, okay?”
Xisumavoid: [noise of agreement]
Joe: “And what you see of people and who they are, are not going to line up perfectly, right?”
X: “Yeah, I couldn’t agree more with everything you’re saying.”
Joe: “Yeah, and so—as long as people remember that when they’re talking about… When they’re complaining about somebody on the internet, that they don’t really fully know them. They’re just complaining about that person’s shared part of their experience. Not their whole life.”
[…]
Joe: “There is an old saying that I personally disagree with, which is: if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. I would say a better expression would be: if you don’t have anything nice to say, do something constructive. Ya know? Either like, take steps to fix the thing that you don’t like, or go do something positive elsewhere. Like, that’s one of the reasons that I’ve really enjoyed streaming and making videos so much during this pandemic: there’s just been so much negativity in all of our lives, and I don’t want to focus on that all the time. I want to go make something that brings me joy, and brings other people joy, and—you know. So like, if you don’t have something nice to say, go put good into the world, is what I would recommend.”
