#080 - The Fallen Arches Took an L

 Hello everybody! Want to know where the title comes from? The Pictorial Encyclopedia of Railways. Yes, my book from '68 which was revised and the ninth impression from '85 said "took the L." But let me give you the full context. It was actually talking about how the fallen arches took an L and Y tank engine with them. And with that, my really old book is not actually using a meme decades before it became a meme.

To continue from yesterday, my conversation with B~ lasted over 3 hours. Yeah, I went to bed close to 23:00 last night but it was worth it. I am very grateful that someone wants to talk with me so much. There is currently another ongoing conversation but it probably won't be as long as yesterday's. I was going to use the word "lengthy" instead of "long" but a quick search shows that "lengthy" means too long and because the conversation was not too long I accepted the change.

Today was another day of yardwork. I mowed the front lawn a few weeks back and today I did some more cleaning up of it. I also watched the TV series for Making Fiends (after finishing the web series several weeks ago), did only one stream today, and read more of the Pictorial. Tomorrow is Good Friday but I don't really have anything special in mind other than Easter Sunday being a combined Spanish and English service.

I am thankful for Milli, and B~, and other people I have connected well with online. And of course, I am also thankful for the three of my friends who I know in the real world and other close acquaintances. 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 ...
