Having spent months dormant I got around to making more stuff on Eggcraft 4.0! And I finally made something that isn't just my house, so I can finally start this thread...

I spent a long time getting all the slabfish variants for the in-game achievement, but I wanted it to amount to something physical beyond the achievement. Also I had a lot of slabfish babies that needed somewhere to go, and I don't have buckets for all of 'em. Sooo...I made a playground for slabfish!

Currently this playground is home to 36 unique slabfish-- I haven't included them in the pictures above to not spoil anyone on what the variants look like, but also to leave a little surprise for if you visit the playground yourself! I'm also working on giving them all unique names but... I need a looot of nametags. BUT they should all be named soon and that should add some extra surprise if you already know what the variants look like.

You can find it at x=-910, z=640, but you can also find it just by going through the portal at Nariko, then through the portal right next to it in the Nether, then following the path. I plan to build most of my future projects along this path so they're easy to find and reach. I hope to have more to put along it soon

I've recently been the recipient of a bunch of records from my (not) aunt and they're rather fun. She did give me more last year but that stack had a mold problem. But these! They're in overall better condition. But I do miss that stack I sent to the perpetual yard sale outside my window.

As you can imagine it contains such hits as Jingle Jangle Jingle, Don't Fence Me In (With new-to-me preamble???), and Mister Five by Five. Songs that have already lived in my head for years.

How do you feel about records?

I looooove out-of-context video game changelogs, especially for those super violent tile-based games. They paint such a harrowing view of their world. I figured we could use a thread for them, after I saw some of the recent Goonstation updates:

• Players will once again lose their shit upon being filled with/covered in ants
• Walking through fluid puddles will now expose your shoes to them. Acid WILL melt your Jordans.
• Big Chicken Evolution Refactor. Please report anything strange IMMEDIATELY.
• New Enby-flag-colored chicken!
• Eating sponge capsules and then drinking water will now cause them to expand into animals, causing stomach damage in the process. Syndicate sponge capsules are significantly more dangerous.
• Sponge capsules can now be force-fed to other people.

You're probably already making character references for Art Fight. Post 'em here, and (if applicable) links to whatever shareable sites you have them up on so fellow participants can signal boost.

Expected end date is July 1st.

This time around I'll be handing out forum badges for participating. I do NOT know yet what they will look like so you are gonna have to hold your horses okay I just wanna get this post up

A Play in the Life is my new ongoing series where I play "daily" games and post short updates. I'm not so good at doing daily gaming tasks (see Tomodachi Life) without a social group reminding me to, so I'm hoping that having at least community motivation will get me to do it.

The first installment is Animal Crossing for the Gamecube. I'm hoping to finish the debt in all the mainline AC games (except for New Horizons. Sorry) and write about how the game has changed.

I've already played through the tutorial, but I'm going to be splitting it up into chunks for my sanity so I don't have to write a bunch at once like I did with Tomodachi (which I will get back to).

I've become particularly fascinated with the mechanics of a certain game. So much so that I went looking to find it myself. To my surprise, it was not hosted on Steam, Itch.io, or any other big company launcher. No, it was hosted on B.Y.O.N.D., or Build Your Own Net Dream.

In a game old enough to buy alcohol, activity is far and between. Many active servers in the game (Yes it's by servers) are run by small groups that require some form of assurance that you won't blow up the ship upon spawn. Very very fair.

But being as I'm intimidated very quickly by anything even remotely 'role playing', to the point of turning off all my electronics in fear, the ask that some servers have for only HRP or 'High Role Play' is very frightening. I can be accused of low quality role playing for not voicing actions enough? What a strangeness. As someone whose last role play attempt in earnest and not fear was when he was 13 on deviantart* and it lasted all of five exchanges, I'm how you say, rusty. Big expectations out of the gate are sure to result in failure and an even bigger fear of trying again.

I've thankfully found some much lower stakes server options in Goonstation, a group whose name has always been about the henchman type. Though I haven't attempted a round yet and have mostly been reading wikis that have yet to tell me what button to push to activate something, it feels leaps and bounds better than it expressing the request that I pretend to fully immerse myself in a little 2d guy who is just gonna get sucked out into space.

*I was a part of a more casual rp group once that was basically just a bunch of people pretending to be adults in a harvest moon (I have never played that game) type setting. I played a priest with a big ol cross earring. It was really earnest at the time.

Longer post coming soon.

Lots of articles about nasty drinks lately huh

The Enchanted Sacred Rubber Tree Sapling

I found an excuse for me to just play Minecraft for two days and get really mad

Starbucks hates Starbucks

This article was weirdly hard for me to get through and I don't know why. I hope it's at least funny.

The 5 Legendary Snapples

I really wanted to get this article out by today and I was rapidly starting to fall into some sort of black hole so I cut it short for now. This is going somewhere though. This is merely a prequel to Snapple Madness.

I haven't even gotten into it. There is so much lore. There is too much lore.
