Decided to take a break from my world to play some Alpha 1.0.1 and a few moments into my new world stumble across an amazing find https://prnt.sc/U7JFslT6SU-1

I had a blog idea about this concerning "Rose-Tinted Glasses and Nostalgia," but I don't think it would be a good topic that I can talk about that hasn't been beaten to death by various other communities. My belief is that video games have long since been a hobby and become more akin to a job. Add to the almost rocket-like rise in NFTs only further solidifies my stance.

Not to say everyone only plays video games as a job, but these days more play them simply because it's mainstream, it's an obligation if you aren't up to date with the latest titles and DLCs. If you want to hear more, maybe I'll expand on this. For now, it's going to remain one of my wandering thoughts.

Gotta put a pause on Everyday Fantasy Story series for a while. I thought about it for weeks already as I was trying to invest my time for an application development project but I could not manage to get enough time for it. I'll return to drawing later as it's a part of my life.

Thank you for following the series. I will return back to continuing it eventually as I have a goal to make an RPG game in the future so it would be great source for the storyline. 🙂

It's good morning. 😊

Miners and Crafters, today is a wonderful day for the life of my SSP world. After many trials and tributes, after so many hours of digging through the dirt in search of that last item of Legend, I am happy to announce

Protected by a Skeleton Spawner of course. Now that I have this in my possession, I am now in search of ideas how to best display this magnificent artifact. All of this was done on HARD difficulty which makes finding this even sweeter. The only things left for me to collect are the Green and Gold disks which will be easy enough to find as I can try to heard some creepers and skeletons together.

Ten years, several hundred, maybe even a few thousand, hours of playing has finally paid off. I can now finally put the Version to rest.

Edit: Forgot to mention this, but the funniest part of this was that I found it in what I deemed the area "Mine #11." I didn't think about the record when I typed it out, it actually was a random number. Goes to show how lucky 11 is now.

Everyday Fantasy Story - Day 67
Who dares to ruin my enjoy moment with my little girl..

I have finally begun something that should have been my first project from the start. A historical biography of my world that will be the thing that keeps my world from being deleted and to give me motivation to move on even if I ever lose a stack of diamonds. My plan for 10 years of Minecraft was to make something that wasn't a blog, to create something magical, and to show how much I enjoy the game despite the massive burnout.

I won't say anymore nor do I know how long it will be. My hope is that it will span hundreds of tomes that will relate my thoughts and feelings on the game as a whole. It will also be a testament of why I play video games, this is going to not only be a message to you, but me as well as I suffer from confidence issues to this day. Hopefully no creeper will blow this up yet given my track record, this is probably going to happen at some point.

Before that, though, I will probably upload my world as soon as I get maybe 50 slabs in. By that point, I hope to fill my SSP with many different things both from the community as well as my own creations even if they are terrible.

So, question, if I upload a personal SSP world and make stuff that other people made by hand (I'm doing re-creations from the old forums), does that count as plagiarism? I wouldn't be uploading just that, but rather it would contain copied works without the use of an Editor.

An example is this

which is a rough translation from

https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/archive/alpha/alpha-survival-single-player/821092-post-your-house-pic-here-i-need-ideas

Will post a bunch of signs with links and original people so it's not like I'm claiming them for my own. I just wanted to have some design ideas and fill my world with interesting things that aren't just a couple of wood boxes and random paths. I am not the first nor last to admit that I am as creative as a potato so using these to challenge myself and breaking out of the habit of being a horrible OCD perfectionist.

I'll check out who is fighting near our home. Please hide in that room. Do you remember it? I will be back real quick." 😉

It’s satisfying to slowly check out old drawings one by one. 🙂

Got 3.32 hrs of asleep time, now I'm trying to be positive and surrounding myself with exciting things to keep me up. Let's the surviving day mode turn on. XD

After 64 days of drawing a new piece of art everyday (no skipping), here are some tips I would like to share with you. :D

1) Sketch everyday, just only a small one, one by one.
2) Good reference helps a lot.
3) Eliminate or reduce distractions.
4) Feel something is not right? Don’t hesitate to remove that bothering detail.
5) Keeping telling yourself that “it will turn out good”.

Here are extra extra tips:

1) If you feel lazy or unmotivated, try to draw a cute thing.
2) Finding new idea everyday is hard, but you can immerse yourself with random ideas from Pinterest. It always works for me.
3) The most hardest process in all processes is getting started. Don't think too much, just pickup a pencil and draw. Once you get in the flow, you will be unstoppable!

Have a good luck on drawing for fun! :D

Can't find a gold apple, but got another rarity in my 587th world in Alpha 1.2.4 (keep restarting because perfectionist tendencies still get the better of me. This means I have valuables like clay / diamonds after traveling hundreds of blocks away, dying, and forgetting where I was because I played a few days ago and have the memory of Dory from Finding Nemo)

Hopefully I can keep this one, trying desperately not to be stupid but it is calling for me.
