Do we REALLY want zombie Reagan and hundreds of others like that running around again? I dunno about you guys, but I'm so tired of living through Interesting Times ™️ and Unprecedented Events ™️. A zombie apocalypse where they don't eat our brains, but just fuck up the economy even more doesn't sound fun.

We do not speak of that one. It was a dark time, a chaotic time. Do not utter that name so casually. Many know not of which we speak. May their souls never experience the curse of that knowledge.

I'm looking forward to being called Dennis and working in the mud all day ranting about different governments.

We should make a server that has a database of all these numbers and let's you do lookup queries in real time. And we could make that process part of the protocol stack that every device uses.

I think you just invented DNS DNS, or Meta-DNS, MDNS? 🤣

In years past, CBC (Canada) had a very nice website with schedules and the videos of full events all organized by event. I don't recall the coverage being overly edited or filled with fluff commentary or only covering the "big" names/events, but seemed pretty broad and unbiased and boring-in-a-good-way. It was really nice. Highly recommended.

A simple VPN to a Canada exit point is all you need. And I guess a plugin or script to download the videos if you wanted them offline. But since you can browse to any event on any day and watch when you want you really don't need to download anything.

You've heard of CamelCase and lowercase and intVariableName variable naming styles. Get ready for:

for (int Taiwan == 0; Taiwan < HongKong; Taiwan++) { int TianamenSquare == 0; ... }

"I deleted them."

"You deleted all of them?"

"Yep, not on the website anymore. See."

"Ok.... Good.... But I'm watching you."

"Yes, I had to correspond with other engineers and English was used in all communications."

Those are good points. I've played MC since early alpha, but haven't played much of the 1.20+ content yet. I still haven't fought the Warden! Ahhhh!!!

I do really appreciate hearing that Jeb has that mindset and goal. And you are right that they have eventually added more uses for things that started useless.

From a design standpoint it is often surprisingly difficult to remember to use older content and mechanics on new content. You see it in RPGs and story type games often. In level 1 you unlock a skill or item, have to use it over and over for a dungeon or level, and then by level 3 you never ever use it again. Sometimes games will manage to remember the "old" things and keep them relevant and when I notice that I always really appreciate it. Several of the Zelda series games manage this. E.G. the Deku Nuts/Sticks still being used in the last dungeons.

The same thing happened to Lego.

Originally it was small pieces you combine in creative ways to build something.

Now all the sets have these huge specialty pieces that are barely usable outside of that 1 set design. Like the giant cockpit things that are 1 big hinged piece.

One option: They could have used leather for basic armor and then turtle shells for a better set and then gold for the best. Just use existing things and combine them in new ways. It is so much better that way.

There are SO many things in MC that have exactly 0 or 1 purpose and nothing more and that is such a shame.
