@Altruest as terrifying as that is, I miss those innocent days where it was easier to spread (and believe) urban legends about games without the internet.

That marriage of imperfect information and childhood naivety gave our old games an air of mystery and exploration that seems like its missing nowadays.

@nivex yeah but at PERSON SCALE!

I've always hated how I either spend all of my time resource gathering, or building obsessively planned communities.

I think this would be neat because buildings would have some purpose to them, and there would be organic growth in the design of the city based on new resource availability and the consequences of previous decisions.

Facilities require people, who require housing. As the city grows, living standards increase. As such, what constitutes "housing" will expand over time.

Finally, I could set up a random scenario generator to decide what arbitary nonsense the city demands to be built next.

Recently been trying to come up with some ways to breathe new life into my minecraft games and came up with the following idea:

Modeled after real time strategy games, rather than mining all resources by hand, I can build facilities to create raw and refined materials on a daily basis. For example, build a mine and receive a daily allowance of ores (powered by command blocks which are quite fancy these days). #gameing

This is cool: in the upcoming minecraft update you can mine coral - but if you do, it dies.

The only way to keep coral's beautiful color is to leave it alone, to build around it and preserve it in its natural environment.

(or play creative mode i guess)

I'm pretty excited for this ocean update. Should be arriving any day now!

I have no clue. Both commercials' selling points were basically "spiked seltzer that tastes like seltzer. Only 80 calories." It seemed like it was just in the presentation: girly girls partying at the pool and EXTREMELY MANLY MAN SWIMMING EXTREMELY.

I am watching commercials and learning that spiked seltzer is a thing. How? "I want to get drunk without tasting anything in the process?"

Also why is seltzer gendered between girly seltzer and MANLY seltzer its fuckin bubble water? (I know why, that was rhetorical, dont @ me)

Eeeeee very excited about this one! The region locking is weird to say the least, but very excited to see the rest of the cards in the decks!

I had a dream the other night that i was playing a JRPG. the screen glitched the hell out on me and the character I was talking to started to only say "FIXME"

uh oh I want to play minecraft again. luckily that feeling goes away after I try to build a roof.

I think watching Hackers asynchronously in 5 second chunks through @hackers_gifs is as true to the original spirit of the movie as you can get.
