efaardvark Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Decided to try iris while waiting for optifine. I had issues with it once before but that was a while ago and it seems to be playing well with others now. Found a bunch of diamonds while working on my spawner project... ... and was visited by a wandering trader who was selling propagules so I thought I'd check out the mangrove tree. Shape-wise it is a lot more random than the other tree types. I kind of like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takatofan1986 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) I've been replaying the Ratchet and Clank series, which is one of my favorite series. Currently on the second one, "Going Commando." I got a PS5 at the beginning of May, so I could finally play the new one, but I was still in deep depression over my breakup, and I know from experience that the first time you play a new game, memories stick with you, and I did NOT want the game I had been waiting for (And really, there hasn't been a new, full ratchet and clank game since 2009, so been waiting in that regard for a LONG time!) to be ruined by association of bad memories. But the last few weeks ive been getting better, still not 100%, but I've decided to reply the series as 'comfort gaming' and hoping/assuming that by the time I'm done, I'll be well enough to play the new one. (I'm playing them kind of slow, and I think I'm going to play going commando and everything after twice, for challenge mode. The first one didn't really have a challenge mode.) Side note: Series has some of the best names: Going commando, Up Your Arsenal, Size Matters... The last full game was called "A Crack In Time", but supposedly, as it did revolve around a clock, they wanted to call it "Clock Blockers" and Sony said NO WAY.

Deeath Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Got my xbox back today - and did an update on it. Tuesday i'll renew my Xbox Gold subscription, for now, i'll stick to watching YouTube while I wait to get my subscription renewed. Most of my games require the subscription, and those games are...the ones I play the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeath Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Played some Halo Infinite, king of the hill - sadly the enemy team won, but I was the highest score with 2,255 as my score in the lobby. 16 kills total, which was a good streak for the match, would've been better if we won, but, can't win them all. The game plan for later after I get done doing some stuff outside of gaming is playing some Minecraft, maybe playing some SMITE as well to get back on that grind. Minecraft is great for relaxation, but SMITE is my go-to when I want to get some streaks going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efaardvark Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Did a little more minecraft. Mostly messed around with mangrove trees a bit more. These can produce a surprising amount of wood, as you can see if you take away the leaves.. It's a bit random though, which makes it a bit of a pain to farm efficiently. Nice for landscaping but my preferred method for wood farming is still going to be the 4-sapling spruce. (Note the scaffold tower next to the large spruce in the background to the right of the mangrove tree.) The other interesting bit is the mangrove roots. I think these are the only solid blocks in the game that can be waterlogged. For any technical players this might mean things like new options for redstone contraptions. I was also able to make a 5-block cobblestone generator with just 4 dirt, 1 mangrove root, and one bucket each of water and lava. (Probably only of interest to skyblock players.) I also want to play a bit more with mud blocks. Even if you don't have a newly-generated swamp near at hand you can still make them by using a water bottle on a dirt block. I found that a bit of a pain to deal with in trying to generate a large number of them. However, once you have the mud blocks then you can make mud bricks, which gives us another material and visual texture for constructing structures.

Takatofan1986 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I'm still playing through the Ratchet and Clank games again, buuut, since I got money today, I took advantage of Steam's summer sale, and bought a few games - Will probibly be a while until I get to them, but I thought I should get them while they are on sale. Bug Fables which I just found out is like a 'love letter to Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door' and I am HERE for that! Also Psychonauts which I just found out about. It looks interesting, and the first one is only $3 on sale. I debated about getting the second one since its on sale for $30 and it's regularly 60, but since money is a bit tight I decided against it, until I know for sure I like the first, and surely it will be on sale again someday. :).

efaardvark Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Looks like there's now a preview of Optifine for 1.19 Minecraft. However I only just recently installed Iris/Sodium and updated Sildur's and my favorite texture pack to most-recent versions of everything so I'm going to stay where I'm at for the moment. I don't typically mod much beyond the shaders anyway so the only thing I'm missing is Optifine's zoom key. Gives me an incentive to find a geode in-game for the amethyst shards to make a spyglass. I haven't messed with Iris much yet and I'm already getting 60fps using only half of my GPU so I'm also kind of curious what it can do with some in-depth tweaking, if I can find some time for it. Depending on how that goes I may or may not update to the final version of Optifine for 1.19. I need to spend more time playing than updating/tweaking!

efaardvark Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Played an hour or so of Farmville, er, I mean Minecraft. Really just grinding a bit for crops to sell for emeralds to trade with Librarians. Also sticks. Fletchers are extremely useful and easy to trade with, especially in the early game. Farming trees for wood -> planks -> sticks and then trading the sticks to a fletcher for emeralds is probably one of the best early trades in the game right now. If you can find the right Fletcher to trade with, a stack of sticks will get you at least a couple emeralds. And 4 emeralds can get you a full stack of arrows. Better than all that messing around with chickens and gravel to make them yourself. A couple dozen emeralds can also get you high-level enchanted books like mending from the right librarian.. without having to deal with the randomness of the enchanting table. Since the "Village and Pillage" update a nearby town well-populated with high level merchants is a very handy thing to have access to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efaardvark Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Worked on a couple water projects on my main farm/base in Minecraft. One is my aquarium in the underground "bunker" area. It used to be just one level but I expanded it to be viewable from the level below as well.. I also added a little area for a frog pond. I think it turned out pretty well. Can't you just see some polliwogs swimming around in the mangrove roots there? Sorry, you'll have to use your imagination for now since I haven't actually had time to go find a swamp with frogs in it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takatofan1986 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I started playing Bug Fables.... I am mad at myself. I really need to stop judging something by the name or what it looks like. I'd seen Bug Fables advertised for years, and I always am like, "I'm not interested in a game about bugs" It's an amazing "Paper Mario" type game. I love it so far.

Takatofan1986 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 So, as I said above I'm playing bug fables, but as I've also said I've also been playing through the Ratchet and Clank series again. I found something out, and I thought I should post about it JUST in case someone didn't know/needed to know. My PS3 controller died recently, and I found out the hard way that generic PS3 controllers don't generally have SIAXIS capability. The first Ratchet game on the PS3 really went to town on the SIAXIS gimmick, and it's unplayable without it. ....Or so I thought.... Apparently, there's an option in the menu to disable motion controls, and just use the R and/or L stick. (You just can't use one weapon, the tornado launcher, that also used it) And... not only am I happy now, I'm also really mad at myself I didn't notice this years ago... it makes those sections MUCH easier... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efaardvark Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Found a iron/tuff vein in the new deepslate layers (almost) right below my main farm in a pre-1.16 chunk. Up to now I'd been making do with a fortune III pick and never got around to building an iron farm so this is a very welcome discovery. I've been silk-touching the ore and taking it back to the surface to process it with the fortune-ed pick. So far I've got over 6 stacks of iron blocks out of it and I still haven't reached the end of the vein. And this is after using a couple stacks to level up 2 weaponsmiths and 2 armorers in a nearby town so I can buy diamond gear instead of mining for diamonds and doing it myself the hard way! Need to think about what to do with all that iron. Might be time to build an item sorter.

Deeath Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Last night - I decided to take it upon myself to grind competitive Overwatch for nearly 5 hours straight, a tedious run, and I sure did get great sleep that night. Tonight I'm going to be on that "grind" again - with a total of 2172 comp points out of the 3000 I need to get my 5th golden gun, which will be for Reinhardt, the run will not be a simple 2-3 day thing, this is going to take a while...as...losing games is quite evident in this season with the meta. Season 35 is the peak of terrible meta's, and to be honest the DPS meta is quite a mess at this point, so with competitive team composition.

efaardvark Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Built an automatic honey and beeswax farm in minecraft. Now I'll have all the honey, honey blocks, and candles I can use. I like the honey blocks as a replacement for slime blocks because they can be used in pretty much the same way as slime except they're a lot easier to get. (I just wish they could be used to make sticky pistons the way slime can.) Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
