#002 - Tractive Effort

 Hello everybody! The title for today is a term commonly used for statistics of locomotives. I first considered saying "gaining traction" as the title, but that was boring. Due to all of the train videos I've been watching/listening to over the past month and a half or so, I decided to go with something that I've been hearing quite often.

Yesterday, I had Method's streams playing in the background whilst doing various other computer things. Unfortunately, he had two streams happen. Sounds like the bitrate died for him in the middle, and was down long enough that a second stream had to occur. He now complains about Tube as much as me. :3 And on top of that, comments were often failing to go through. That's a big unfortunate right there.

At noon, I began my own stream. I updated my small wall map after creating the loop on the backside of the train yard. This will allow me to turn trains completely around without needing to go in reverse at all or use a turntable (which I currently do not have).

Afterward, I did some video editing for a music video that'll be coming out on Friday. It's a secret though, until it is complete. :3 I also had an oddball conversation with some guy who calls himself "ice cream" and played more Portal with RTX. I'm working on achievements currently. Other than getting medals in all challenges, which I won't be doing, I'm going for Transmission Received. I only have two more radios to activate. Before bed, I watched a little bit of MysticalMidget's walk to the Corner Far Lands. He's currently at about 5.4 million.

Today, I plan on getting the last radios in Portal with RTX so that I can uninstall it, just to install Bonelab. I may or may not get to more Deus Ex Mankind Divided today, because I have laundry to do, a haircut, yard work, and my usual stream at 16:00.

Now that I have a blog, I may or may not start a little ARG or something on here. Like, a secret code in each post that all adds up to something. Don't expect anything in the outside world, though. I'm not that prepared. :p It'd take a fair amount of planning, for when I do start it though and there will be a public acknowledgment of when it starts.

Looks like I have more to say in these than I thought after all. A lot just goes on in my mind, so hopefully this is a good glimpse into that. Thank you all for reading. Bye!

#131 - Minecraft Parodies Like It's 2014

 Hello everybody! Looks like I'm back at it again writing another post. Know what I've been doing? Listening to old Minecraft songs and parodies, primarily from 2012-2014. I remember these well from my early years of Minecraft. But as I sit here today, I realize 2014 was eleven years ago. Time really goes zoom when you're not looking. Anyway, I've been listening to ThnxCya's Love, Lost and Found  EP that was released this past summer. There's some pretty cool stuff on there, including demos and unreleased songs I never heard before. He never made too many songs (like ZexyZek or Minecraft4Meh) so it's real easy to get through all of his for both Minecraft and Call of Duty. I've also been listening to Phantaboulous's songs, and as much as I enjoy them, it bothers me so much that he had two CDs being sold all the way until 2021-ish. It wasn't until 2023 that I decided I wanted to buy them. Makes me mad that I had 7-8 years to acquire both CDs, but n...

#135 - The Lor(e) Party

 Hello everybody! I was recently gifted a copy of The Lost Subways of North America , which I've been wanting to acquire for a while. It's a great book, but my Notch it gets tiring to hold because of how large it is. I was gifted it around the same time as Look Who's Back  and  Evangelion 3.0 + 1.11 . With that aside, time to update y'all on my Content Warning DVD. I haven't started it yet  but I do at least have all the videos ready to go, including one to be used for the main menu background. Hopefully I get to play more tomorrow (more on that later) but anything new will be added to the next DVD, alongside some other recordings that didn't have to be on the first disc. I've still be playing some Crab Champions, but not as much. I have this one run that's been going a good 16 hours or so and oh boy, I'm looking forward to starting something new at this point. I'm already close to Island 550. Tomorrow, May 31st will be a big day for me. My YouTu...

#132 - Capes Galore

 Hello everybody! Today Mojang started bringing over Bedrock Edition exclusive capes to Java. Currently, the Founders and Pan Cape were copied with the possibility of the Progressive Cape as well. It'd be nice if they also brought Java capes over to Bedrock because I would like if my Minecon 2016 were available on Bedrock. We shall see as time passes and more capes roll out. Anyway, I've been working a lot on my silly little triangle game. I finally bit the bullet and implemented community level loading. It took a whole lot of logical reasoning and going through every possible solution of what didn't  work. Eventually, I was able to export the level of the dedicated editor project and load that level in the main game itself. Now that the system works, I'll be able to take advantage of the Steam Workshop in the future so that people can easily share or download through there. The game is split into three primary components. First, there is the Living Shapes Engine. This ...
