#041 - Monotony Sets In

 Hello everybody! Once more do I acknowledge how simple things are for me. I've been going ham on game development trying to get some sort of speedy chunk-loading system. If chunks are too small, then I end up with hundreds of actors really quickly. If chunks are too large then each one takes a long time to generate. Today, I took a break from that and focused on new blocks. Currently, I have most of the IDs through #62 done and have a few more that stretch all the way through #173. All names and IDs have been allocated up to that point as well, but have not yet made the textures for them all. Depending on how I'm feeling, I'll be adding even more blocks before the next update. I may have hit my quota, but making textures is fun. If Boxel Voxels Concept Test 7 ends up lacking in features, then I just might compensate for added triple-digit new blocks. With a measly 62 out of 255 added, I have plenty more blocks that can be added.

Other than working on block textures today, I went to church as per usual. Yesterday was also just more of game development and helping my dad work on his flight simulator cockpit. I also completed BioShock 2 on the Switch, so I'll be starting Minerva's Den soon-ish. I also really need to stop procrastinating on my video guides of the Ultimate Old World Conversion Guide. I have to get videos out before Friday so that Method (or anyone else) steals my views by making video guides of their own. Yes- I am quite serious about that.

I also finally placed an order for the most recent copy of the Pictorial Encyclopedia of Railroads. I counted 15 impressions from 1968 through 1985. I hope that one day I can collect more impressions, but I'm starting with just the one first. I expect it to arrive either this week or next. 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 ...
