Dear universe: An ‘OC' is an Objective Complement.

Arguably one of the most dangerous ideas to have about something is that it cannot exist, because that is when you are most vulnerable to it.

Perhaps it is better for fiction to be believable than to be realistic.

There is among humanity a perennial plague of short-sightedness.

This has the effect of making a great portion of the populace the pawns of those who can manipulate their immediate circumstances to produce certain emotions.

This also has the effect of making that portion of the populace harder to warn.

Isn’t it funny that the diversity so often celebrated is really only different forms of unity?

Isn’t it also funny that diversity of diversity isn’t tolerated?

Clearly modernity is not as meta as it should be.

Quick rant: I'm not too fond of HD texture packs. They advertise themselves as the coolest things ever when they take away the pixelated theme of Minecraft. It's difficult to find texture packs that don't do this as all the front pages are filled with resource packs that are all 32x or above.

I enjoy 16x, and sometimes 8x, texture packs. They try to take a twist on Minecraft's art style while also still giving that pixelated theme that I love about Minecraft. For this reason, one of the first ever mods I appreciated was the Minecraft Plastic Texture Pack, originating from Minecraft themselves in pre-Bedrock editions of Minecraft. Not many other packs capture its theme, but I've liked Plastick and Pixl 8x, paired with my favorite GUI pack, Unique Dark, and other cool packs like Bow and Arrow and Even Better Enchants.

My favorite resource pack, though, that I've discovered thus far would have to be BlockPixel. While it does make radical takes on the GUI, it keeps it gorgeous with decoration and effects. The textures also give a nice "alternative" art style to Minecraft, one that doesn't make it look any more low-poly while also not being any higher-resolution, preserving the blocky theme of Minecraft. It's gorgeous, clean, and overall adorable. I hope that Jakob.zero keeps this one maintained for the future and that he receives continuous support for it, even if I can't donate myself.

I love the blocky, pixelated theme of Minecraft and I'm not a fan of the higher-resolution textures that ruin it. I'm glad other people enjoy their quality and appearance, though, and especially appreciate their contributions to keeping resource pack catalogs diverse.

It’s easy to live forever. Just define living forever as tasting nitrogen, and congratuations, you’ve lived forever.

This technique is quite effective; it even works on depression, taxes, and eggplant. Just redefine it, and it’s gone!

I feel like the gamejam idea is the sort of thing that would only start gaining traction once it actually gets started…
I suppose I could make a sort of brainstorming forum for it...?
