Christ…

No hate, because the video is really good and I really like the channel, but the video starting off by talking about how we try to fill the spiritual emptiness of our souls with fleeting bullshit only to transition into a Raid: shadow legends-ad is truly beautiful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbtQ...

Facereveal.

The duality of man.

Playing Pokémon Yellow now. This was before Pokémon became woke by asking what gender the player is just so they can play the damn game. /jk

I decided to get rid of my still somewhat fresh Reddit-account the other day. Nothing against Reddit, but it just wasn’t a whole lot of fun. I think it’s because I kept up with politics too much over there.

Mac OS MacOS Macos Maccas Apple®-pie with that?

Am I stupid, or did Youtube remove the button to go to your watch-history?

Today, the delightfully-numbered Alpha 1.2.3_04 is released w/ the typical server companion. (Don't ask what happened to _03.) The update continues the bugfixing blitz, with Jakob taking a break from his separate game to help track down a tricky respawning bug. The office is paying off! #minecraft

Not exactly what was in mind with “‘free’ as in ‘free speech’”…

Today, Alpha v.1.2.3_02 is released, partially patching multiplayer respawning bugs, with a follow-up coming tomorrow. Changelog: * 1 new splash text: "Play Minecraft, Watch Topgear, Get Pig" In other news, client updates will not be automatic in the future. #minecraft

Today, Alpha v1.2.3 is released (along with a server version + hotfix), adding server-side health. This brings Minecraft survival multiplayer that much closer to full functionality (and therefore Beta). A fix for leaf decay not working is attempted, but results in an infinite loop crash. #minecraft

This could be us

’Tis a multi-Monster-Monday.

That annoying moment when I accidentally click “reboot” instead of “shut down” in the powermenu. 😑

That’s cool. Keep it out of Gävle.

Today, the painting that is the 1st place prize for Webhallen's texture pack competition is revealed. The painting, by Kristoffer Zetterstrand, will be added to the ones in-game in the future In other news, there would be an update today... if the keystore had been moved to the office. #minecraft

Another hour, then my shift’s over.

Loud singing being sung by a guy who only sort of halfknows the songs and isn’t great at singing at a restaurant adjacent to the shop. I hate it here.

STOP LOOKING SHOCKED, WOMAN—YOU’RE SPONSORING A GLADIATORMATCH TO THE DEATH!

Can’t catch a break, huh?

Today, the Mojang office gets organized with post-it notes (soon to be upgraded to a corkboard), using Scrum for an agile office environment. Work on server-side health continues to progress, and a "hardcore" permadeath mode is announced in reaction to a PCGamer 1 Life Let's Play. #minecraft

Today, Dead Workers Party (the same people behind The Shaft podcast) upload a Minecraft music video "In Search of Diamonds". Unlike previous music videos, this one incorporates game footage as well as animation, making for a polished video. #minecraft

Michael caught getting high off of his own chemical compound.

Today, user metime00 makes a poll on which is better: Minecraft, or Dwarf Fortress (one of its inspirations). Despite being on the Minecraft Forum, Minecraft only narrowly leads. Interestingly, it appears that 10% of forum users have "never heard of" Minecraft. #minecraft

I can’t help but feel like there’s something poetic about this. www.bbc.com/news/article... (archive: archive.ph/Kf4d5)

Woe betide us all.

Going home in about half an hour now.

Reportedly my husband is “mostly” doing alright. He is in a bit of pain though due to the footacid.

Heading up to Rosario with my husband. He has a medical appointment and I need more moisturising cream. We’re also gonna eat there.

Jeb has amazing hair!

This joke has been surprisingly controversial.

The immigrationlawyer I’ve been in contact with seems to be unable or unwilling to provide any updates on progress to me, and equally unable or unwilling to state their inability or unwillingness. I’m starting to think I should find someone else. 🫤

That kid is 18 now. Depending on the country he can drink, smoke, get a job, get a driver’s license, and vote. He could be a fully formed adult looking at this very “15 years ago in Minecraft”-post as I type this, chuckling to himself about the good times he had punching chickens.
