#120 - The LORE!!!

 Hello everybody! Today, I spent about 11 and a half hours working on my Minecraft Megurigoaka map. Enriquedem has put quite a lot of time into the city on there as well, so big props to him. Anyway, I needed background noise while working- and a lot of it. So what did I just listen to for hours on end?

Video essays involving FNaF. Icebergs, history, and storytelling was the majority of it. I would not be surprised if I dreamed about animatronic bears tonight.

Earlier, quite a fascinating experience occurred to me and someone I'll name Cosmonaut. No, she's not Russian, but it's based on her Discord name. Anyway, I was just chilling in Milli's Discord server when I saw a ping come from there: more specifically the main text channel. Cosmonaut asked "Are you actually the real Xelanater?" You see, I have "I am the real Xelanater!" posted in the bio of just about every account online you will fin me in. I've been using it for years, based on a certain achievement from Garry's Mod. I've been asked the question before in non-serious manners, so I was expecting a joke or something this time...

"I used watch some of your videos from 7-ish years ago... Wowzers, this moment means a lot... IDK I'm kinda freeaking out. Whatt..."

I randomly stumbled into one of my viewers from within the first six months of being on Tube and over a year and half before Paul Gard (who is my oldest subscriber that is active on my channel). I couldn't believe it at first, so I asked "What videos of mine do you remember?"

"I think I remember like a live stream video... Nono, it was like the 14-hour idea video... for a live stream I think?"

That 12-hour live stream idea video is such an obscure one that is buried on my channel. I never talked about it before then and never talked about it since. It is such an oddball video of mine that I am certain she watched my videos at the time. If somebody wanted to fake remembering my videos, they probably would've gone for my Minecraft Nostalgia series or my Far Lands at Spawn video or one of my early map videos. This encounter was...

Heartwarming.

Someone remembers me my Minecraft videos after more than seven years. I really thought that all my early viewers were gone by now- everyone before my Ultimate Minecraft Polyworld series other than Paul. There is a certain joy in being remembered after this long, and at meeting one of my fans out in the wild internet. It is an honor.

You probably won't ever read this yourself, but once do I say:

Thank you. Thank you for watching then. Thank you for today.

...

With today shared, I'll add that yesterday I did my (now) regular two streams of Infdev+ and completed the third book in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. I also tackled some yardwork and caught up on other house-based things to do. Thursday involved my two streams and not much else.

I don't know when I'll get the chance to, but I'm looking forward to hanging out with my RCA again or my sister and cousin. 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 ...
