efaardvark Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Went looking for one of the new sulfur caves but didn't find one. Might try again tomorrow or sunday, depending on peoples' schedules. Also did some experimenting with what kind of load the happy ghasts can carry. A loaded chestboat is fine, even with a sheep or a villager, but it won't carry a player in the boat/chestboat. Not a big deal since up to 4 players can ride on top but.. Minecraft physics. Note I said that it will carry a villager. This will make starting a new village much easier. No more luring a villager with beds or laying 1000s of blocks of rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efaardvark Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) Found a huge iron ore vein that intersected with a mineshaft. Random, but kinda cool. Also found a zombie spawner and a spider spawner in close proximity to each other and to the ore vein. Not fun to be digging around the ore and suddenly break through to a flood of zombies and cave spiders. Never did find one of the new sulfur biomes.

Albireo Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Put a few hours into .hack//G.U. Last Recode. I started Redemption earlier in the week. While I remembered most of Rebirth when I replayed in, I'd forgotten most of what happened in Reminisce and Redemption. In part, it feels like playing a new game, lol.

efaardvark Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 (edited) Found a sulfur cave (finally!) and played with the cube guys and the geyser mechanics. We got the geyser to shoot a player over 20 blocks into the air! We could see over the city walls! If you can lure a mob into the area over the geyser it will also send them flying. My brother wants to try using about 20 chickens. Edited July 18 by efaardvark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efaardvark Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) This weekend we were building up another town in minecraft. This one is closer to fresh chunks so we can get to some of the newer content easier. (We don't typically edit our world to reset chunks, we just move the 'frontier' into new chunks.) The new place is not linked to the Nether network yet but it is also very close to one of the strongholds so there's easy access to the End. Eventually the lowest level by the water will be a dock / warehouse area, maybe with some villager smiths, while the upper levels will be terraced and have some housing for both players and merchant villagers. The top level near the church will have some farms/farmers and a cleric or two. I'll probably bring in a happy ghast at some point as well because most of the terrain is flat(ish), forested mountain tops with steep drops to the water making land or water travel problematic. Spoiler While digging to find the End gate we found out that the mountain that the stronghold is in is basically a giant hollow dripstone cave, so we built a path through it. Spoiler Nearby below we found a bunch of skulk, and after searching around in that for a bit we even found an ancient city. Spoiler This is all using the new vulkan API btw, with Sodium and some performance mods, plus Sulkan as the shader. (Full mod list in the spoiler for anyone interested.) Spoiler Distant Horizons [3.2.0-b] EntityCulling [1.10.5] Fabric API [0.155.2+26.2] FerriteCore [9.0.0] ImmediatelyFast [1.16.2+26.2] Lithium [0.25.2+mc26.2] Sodium [0.9.1+mc26.2] Sulkan [0.2.0] Loader is Prism, running on my old Ryzen 2700X / Radeon RX 6600XT / Linux 6.8.0-136 system.

ablackenedrose Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Completed the first two chapters of the original Neverwinter Nights. Interesting enough plot, I suppose, though my investment in finding out what the "People of the Eye" are up to is pretty much what's pulling me through a lot of the combat (it's not bad, but it does get fairly grind-y after a while).

efaardvark Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 This weekend we did a bit more work on the new town near the stronghold. My SIL did a bunch of detail work on the walls and I did some landscaping to create several levels of terraces where we can put some crops and some housing and shops for villagers. I also added a tower that will eventually be a landing pad for happy ghasts. The tower is about as high as it's going to get but I have to decide on the details of the pad at the top. Having a place to hitch ghasts will help with transportation and exploration. The terrain around the town is quite hilly, with steep drops to rivers that divide up the landscape. Travel by boat is fairly quick, but of course limited to the deep, Drowned-infested rivers, which in MC are notoriously sketchy as transportation. Traveling any distance on foot or horseback is made impractical by the high mountains a steep drops to the rivers. We haven't opened the End gate yet in this SMP game and we don't have elytra or shulkers yet so having a ghast or two available to travel by air will be a welcome addition, especially given the ghast's cargo-carrying ability.

efaardvark Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) I made an approximately round thing in a square game. (It's a honey farm.) Closeup.. Spoiler In context. We did some other work on the town near the stronghold this weekend as well. Spoiler Edited August 17 by efaardvark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ablackenedrose Posted Monday at 04:16 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:16 PM I tried to make progress in the King's Quest remake. I didn't get much of anywhere apart from finding a bowl, but I got a good laugh out of the various ways to die and the enthusiastically deadpan descriptions.

Albireo Posted Monday at 09:59 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:59 PM Started Final Fantasy VI the other day, as I've never played it. Picked up the Pixel Remaster awhile back, so I could play III-VI, as I never played them (finished V earlier this summer). Only a few hours in, but I've been enjoying it thus far. Kefka is shaping up to be an awesome villain, hah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efaardvark Posted Tuesday at 12:18 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:18 AM Did a bunch of dodging. You would think that at least one of them would be usable. (Same problem with skellys.. they can shoot hundreds at you, but you can't pick them up, and if you do manage to kill one they always drop 2, or none. What's wrong with this picture?)

efaardvark Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Found a spider spawner, but the entire side was open to a large cavern. Felt like there must have been hundreds of them. (If you're phobic don't look.) Spoiler It was even creeping me out and I'm not. All those eyes swiveling to look at you just as you decide to look up and see them all lurking in the corners. Surprisingly noisy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
