recent supreme court rulings make a president immune to prosecution for “official acts”, so all the treason trump did while in office is ok according to the supreme court.
Order of operations is important. Yes, if we got rid of all the guns then gun violence would stop being a problem. There’s a whole discussion that could be had about sensible gun regulations that is beyond the scope of this comment. Reform on the matter is necessary.
However, that ‘order of operations’ thing I mentioned: I’ll give up my guns when the fascists give up theirs, and not a day earlier.
I’ll never have kids.
My niece though will have a thorough education on sailing the high seas when she’s old enough to choose media on her own.
In order for a 3rd option to be viable, the entire system must change. I’m not holding my breath.
Between now and then, all we can do is vote for the less bad of two evils.
solved for quite some time. it gets mixed with concrete and stuck in a bigger concrete container called a “dry cask”.
Link, because I believe in “outsourcing critical thinking”.
Ooof. I hope that’s a stain and not heat discoloration, otherwise that’s not a sword, but a sword-shaped wall decoration.
Electric cars is not the solution. Sure, it’s an improvement, but for a real solution you need to get people out of personal vehicles on onto public transportation. Trains, trams, busses, whatever. Build it in a way that doesn’t suck. Assuming american, the US had (past tense) amazing train/tram networks decades ago. Every warehouse had a rail spur, and since walking was considered ok people weren’t obese fatasses.
I drive a scooter. It is possible to live without a car, although it does have some difficulties sometimes. If your job is within 10 miles of your home or less, then you don’t need a car for your commute. If I can do it so can you. I’d still rather take a bus, if it existed.
my dude, your comment just opened my eyes to a possibility that I had not considered previously. Seriously wish I did drugs right now so I could smoke a bowl and stew on it for a couple hours.
is my “I dont’ wanna” because I’m actually terrified? it makes so much sense.
I kinda hate it.
that actor would have made a great joker.
why don’t people use krita? Gimp may be the most famous photoshop alternative, but I almost never hear anyone talk about others that may potentially be better.
I’m an idiot making a thing, and I need to pick a license. Where’s a good place to talk to people more knowledgeable than myself on the subject?
EDIT: so my thing isn’t software, i probably should have mentioned that. I am making a ruleset and setting for something similar to but not exactly a tabletop rpg. The ORC license sounds promising, but the legalese makes my brain gray out. ChatGPT tells me to use a version of the Creative Commons license, but ChatGPT isn’t exactly reliable.
Even if the different gear were sidegrades to each other, that would still be better. Keep the main ones that you craft yourself as is, but then have findable versions that you can’t craft that have the same or similar stats but very different aesthetics (and possibly enchant bias). That would already make exploration more worthwhile. Armor trims are a step in the right direction, but making the schematics fragile is just a slap in the face. Actually, gear fragility really shouldn’t exist at all, but that conversation can happen another day.
Completely unrelated to my other comment, and more related to the actual post, I think looking at Factorio’s upcoming world generation changes may be a source of inspiration on how to do this better. Mojang won’t ever do it because it would take actual work for something most people won’t notice, so it’s up to the modding community.
Factorio may be a 2d game, but its world generation is done in 3d and then flattened.
Look at Factorio Friday Facts number 401 and scroll waaaaaaaaaaay down to the section on Natural Paths.

I stand by what I said, and adding the current buzzword of the year doesn’t change it.
I mostly play creative these days, as survival doesn’t really have much in the way of gameplay. Once you’ve automated food production, made a skeleton grinder for arrows/xp, mined up a couple stacks of diamond for gear and enchanted them, there isn’t much left to actually do. Sure, you can explore, and mojang has added some really cool biomes and locations over the years, but there’s never anything actually worthwhile to get (except for the elytra in the end).
To make survival engaging would require overhauling so many aspects of minecraft, and I suggest looking at Terraria for inspiration. Minecraft has 7 swords (wood, stone, iron, gold, diamond, netherrite), with possible enchantments for each. According to bing ai, Terraria has 101 different swords, all with different possible modifiers. The progression ladder is not only much taller, but also more granular. And then apply this logic all the rest of the equipment (and add trinkets while we’re here).
Of course, with all these weapons, you would need something to do with them. Different zones within the game would need to be more or less difficult, with a much greater variety of mobs. I’m not sure the best way to do this, so why not have actual dungeons? Trial chambers seem to be a step in the right direction, but without the possibility of better and more interesting rewards, there’s no point in making better dungeons.
Inventory management is also bad. Terraria kept upping stack sizes over the years, and every time the community was happy about it. Minecraft needs to do more than just up stack sizes, because each material type also has different shapes (blocks, slabs, stairs, fences/walls) that building anything with more than one material is a chore. You should be able to have a stack of 2000 stone brick in your inventory and place any of its shape variants without crafting another object. Make a slab cost a full block, I don’t care, having more slots in my inventory free is way more important.
Every attempt that Mojang has made to address the above has been surface level at best. I’d be fine with that, after all survival is only one way to play the game. There’s also creative, and the vanilla experience is awful.
Ever try to do a large art project in MS paint using only the pencil tool? That’s minecraft creative mode. There needs to be tools to modify several blocks at once, using an intuitive interface (there’s a video for Lay of the Land that demonstrates the kinds of tools I’m talking about, I’ll link it if I can find it again). To get around this, I use a mod called Litematica, which is a cumbersome pain in my behind but the only way I know how to build a large scale anything without going mad. I’ve attempted to switch over to modelling in Blender and use Joey Carlino’s Block Blender addon, but I can’t figure out how to get the exporter to make the blocks actually be the material I want them to be. These mods and external tools should not be necessary, especially in CREATIVE MODE.
The lay of the land video as promised: https://youtu.be/XjCSY5x_EQw?si=q3UUd95-4dXgJVPj
Also also, we really should have more decorative objects. We have one type of bed, and it can have a few different color blankets on it. There should be a different style of bed for every major material type (like Terraria). Also, chairs. Not just things we can build that kinda look like chairs, but actual chairs that we can sit in. My park benches currently look terrible because in order to be functional they have to have a minecart in them. Tables that are coded as tables and you can simply pick up or set down objects on them. Furniture in general.
…
no shit?
No seriously, why is this news?
Mojang died when Microsoft bought them. This will never be fixed, ever, along with a long list of other complaints (readers feel free to compile your own list).
Instead, I am looking for another game to replace minecraft. Lay of the Land looks promising, but it’s one guy and the project is still in VERY early dev. I am open to other suggestions.
Also, I got here because this post was on my front page. I’m not normally in this community and will take my negativity with me when I leave.
Thanks bro
I am of the opinion that there should be more granularity to NSFW than a simple binary.
I’m a fan of how e621 does things:
rating:s (safe)
rating:q (questionable)
rating:e (explicit,)
But I would add another:
rating:t (traumatic, known elsewhere as Not Safe For Life)
