I can empathise where it comes from, but the take that “AI is simply a tool to enhance my work, and isn’t ever going to replace humans” really doesn’t sit well with me. 😔 Why should that be true when business incentives are such that all human creativity is better optimised away?

if you’ve ever found yourself explaining why your desktop background is a giant stretched walrus on a minecraft texture atlas, walrus.fan is for you

The Linux experience is all about having a broken system and being happy about it 😎

it sucks to see what seems on the surface to be a really neat project, realise it was entirely vibe-coded, and instantly not care anymore. i miss appreciating things *because* of humans that cared to put in the time & effort - not just for some end product that looks cool.

I've started a _very unofficial_ discord server where some mojang developers and modders are discussing the rendering overhaul that Minecraft java edition is going through. It's free for all to read (though it's likely quite technical 😅), but only relevant modders can speak. discord.gg/eWmK8p565c

My main testing world is still called ‘trade rebalance’, after creating it to test that PR much over a year ago. I guess it’s better than ‘New World (12)’? 🙈

thank you very much elon musk i’m so glad there’s no more bots on x the everything app

YouTube please stop recommending me “Why Arcane S2 is TERRIBLE and SUCKS 🤮🤮” Let me enjoy good things omg take the hint 😭

Is it bee time?

Hello world! 🙃 I'm alive! Kinda! Ish! I've managed to go to the mojang office 5 whole times this year! That's a big achievement for my health and I'm pretty proud. Now I'm hard at work doing [things] on Minecraft, and I feel like it's going pretty well so far! So many deleted lines of code!

EXCITING NEWS! 🌴 The Tropicraft Texture Update Demo by @hexablu.bsky.social & Endergized has been released for you to try! It's included as a built-in resource pack in the newest release of the mod. Happy Crafting! 🔗 modrinth.com/mod/tropicra...

Since I see this update being included in all kinds of speculation, let me just repeat, very clearly: This project has nothing to do with my job or what is going on with future updates. None of my side projects do.

I got these before & after shots of the Love Tropics build team's efforts this year! 💜So much loving effort put into preparing the world for both educating the players and having LOADS of fun. 3pm PST Tuesday: I'll be streaming an in-depth tour of the Builds of Love Tropics. 😎🌴

BEFORE VS AFTER of the Love Tropics ‘24 event world!!! Amazing job by the Love Tropics build team, we could not have done it without them! How amazing are these aerial shots? #lt24 #minecraft #minecraftbuild

Whilst our teams streamed their perspectives live to their own Twitch channels, we streamed a live commentated perspective of both teams to our own channel. We created the persona of Race Rivers, the worlds best and only River Race commentator who guided our viewers.

A personal highlight from this year was our work on our new game, River Race. Two teams of incredible Minecraft creators battling it out in a series of trivia questions, dangerous caves and minigames. This was a big project for us but I'm so happy with how it came out!

Another year of @lovetropics.org over and I could not be prouder of what we achieved! It was a tough year for a lot of the organising team, but we came together and raised an incredible amount of money for an important cause! It's always a pleasure to work with this team!
