#095 - Busy, Busy, Busy

 Hello everybody! This weekend feels like a lot happenes, but if I try to explain it, it won't seem like much. Oh well. Anyway, Friday was standard with starting the new season of Birdie Wing. Nothing unusual happened there other than no stream. Tomorrow I'll be continuing with the series again. Saturday involved a fair amount of chaos. The lunch with my friend was rescheduled again. My cousin started teaching me how to drive Stick (pink and cyan Jeep with manual transmission), we walked around two different store centers, had lunch at Texas Roadhouse, and ended the day with starting a puzzle while Jaiden's Pokemon videos were playing as background audio. I then spent the night at my cousin's house- only once before had I done an impromptu sleepover.

Today was more focused. My cousin dropped me off at church and my dad took me back    over to her house because we had a big lunch there. If you did not know, my cousin stays with my great-grandma. Anyway, I met my sister's current boyfriend. I think he is the first one after her divorce maybe 5 years. I don't remember when that was. My grandparents also attended, so there were nine people in total. After we ate, we played several card and board games. It was about dinner time when I finally left. My cousin also let me borrow (have?) her copy of The Lost World. With Eat-Man finished, Jurassic World is next on the to-read list.

It feels like my cousin has done so much for me, yet I have done very little for her. Does she really have that much fun with me around that it is worth the time, money, and other resources she spends? Thinking about it, I can see that being the case. I know she loves me, for we are family. Love is sacrificial. Not only does she say it, she shows it by action. It just feels like I am doing a poor job of showing it back. All I know how to do is show my gratitude. Perhaps that is enough, for now at least.

Enough with the life contemplations. It's right at 21:00 and I am very tired. I didn't sleep well last night because my cousin had the TV too loud when we first were trying to sleep. 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 ...
