#129 - Return to the Old

 Hello everybody! Caleb and Sophia stopped paying rent which meant I had to kick them out of my head. They do not get to live rent-free in there. With them out, did something take their spot?

Predecessor has surprised me by going free. Finally, I don't have to pay $20 to play an upgraded version of Paragon after Epic Games shut it down. It's pretty fun but I can see it becoming repetitive. I've only fought against the AI because I don't trust myself to go against other people I don't know yet. Hopefully some folks I know will join me on this. :S At first, I mostly focused on playing as Grux because his abilities suited my playstyle.

After having no idea how to play the first time around, I paused and read what the menus actually told me. Now that I know what I'm supposed to do with the items and abilities, I've branched out some. Khaimera became much more fun when I knew how to use him. I also really like playing as Shinbi now for the same reason. And another reason, truth be told. :3

Other than playing Predecessor, I've played more Sven Co-op as well. I am really close to reaching Level 800 again on Misfire's Very XP servers. Soon, it'll be time to reset it back to 0 just to get up to Prestige 3. I can't remember the command to do it, so I'll have to look on the Discord server like last time. However, I've been really trying to crack down on the current Quickwrite book. I feel so close to the end, yet, there's still much to do.

I have written up to 70 out of 90, but there are 11 of them that haven't been included because someone whose name starts with P and ends in Ie Master J has been too preoccupied with other stuff to participate in his side of the story when needed. Other than that, I estimate that if I really focus on a few quickwrites each day, I'll be done by the end of next week. It'd be nice if the book was ready for final formatting and polish by the end of the month. I was going to get it done by December, but at this point I kind of need it to be done sooner than that unless the Lord provides a way for me to continue my current lifestyle of working on various projects.

April Fool's Day was just a few days ago and oh boy was it a big showdown. 18 videos. 18! That was a lot of videos to release on April 1st. It was totally worth it. I resurrected eight series, released the next Long Haul to the Far Lands album, made a Population: Xelanater short, and created a 1,000-subscriber thank-you video. If y'all haven't seen that last one yet, you totally should. I had a lot of fun editing the clip compilations and filming the live-action portion of it. Oh yeah, a few random videos were included as well.

That's about it for me this time. I took a two-week (minimum) break from streaming to not only get the AF videos done but to also relax afterward. I included "minimum" because I may or may not take this upcoming week off as well and just release more pre-recorded episodes of the aforementioned series. I really, really want to see the Quickwrite approaching the finish line by the end of next week. But, we shall see if life prohibits me from doing so.

I kind of want to make a couple of Caleb and Sophia DVDs just because. The last episode was an "epic" release back in December, so it's already been a while. There very well could be a new lesson coming out soon. If they released another one, that would ruin how I plan to organize the DVDs. Hey, wait a minute. I evicted you! Get out of my head!

I wonder how long until Lura responds to my email from a week and a half ago. Anyway, 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 ...
