If we’re talking the one by Dr. Johnathan Swift, about selling poor people babies and kids for food, then I absolutely agree. I just found and read it on Gutenberg and it was a little disturbing, in an interesting but absolutely messed up way.
I read that in 9th grade and it didn’t phase or really scare me. In my case, I think it’s because I was used to more violent video games.
Either way, I would agree. Was a pretty good story, all things considered.
Heard about this earlier. The situation sucks, but at least this is better than nothing.
The perfect book for Oli:
Not much could be done if we did pressure them like that. Sacrifices sometimes need to be made to keep the elite in line.
Just don’t use any websites/apps to buy/pay for things unless absolutely necessary.
Fair enough.
I’ve been seeing the same thing with New York on yt. Single channel posting straight up “Immigrants Looting New York”, “New York Destroyed By Gangs” type of bullshit using what looks exactly like AI imagery for the thumbnails.
Hell, I don’t even need to see the video title or channel responsible to know it has to be bullshit if they’re willing to use AI generated images in the thumbnail.
What’s stoping a group like Collective Shout from then forcing the payment processors to go after whatever web domain registrar they get their name from? Or, assuming they don’t use their own hardware, which is extremely likely, that they go after whoever they go through for hosting their website?
As great of an idea as just switching payment processors is, that won’t stop those puritanical pricks because they’ll just switch targets and get the whole website/service taken down if it means fulfilling their Satan guided goals being done in the name of Jesus.
With Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong I used to hear “ain’t nobody gonna come when your sound is gone” instead of “when you sound your gong”.
Probably. I’m not an expert in this type of stuff, but I’ll definitely look into that.
ultimately just another Minecraft clone.
For the most part I would agree. Though there are absolutely some games on there that make it feel like a standout product. Those games being shorter games called “Glitch” and “Eyeballs”. They do a good enough job of showcasing how you could use Luanti as a legitimate game platform. But other than those, would agree that it falls into the clone category.
As much as I don’t wanna recommend it for personal gripes, I’d say go with minecraft if you want more content in general due to the size of the fan base.
If you don’t care as much and just wanna play a voxel sandbox game and don’t care about having as big of a backlog of fan made content, Luanti ( formerly MineTest ) is a fine enough platform.
The drawbacks for mc, in my opinion, are pretty much things like chat verification ( assuming they actually went through with that ) for basically all messages you send, even in single player mode. And, assuming they didn’t back down and did parity on java with the bedrock version that chat and signs are censored to make sure in every single way you play, either online or single player, is child friendly by replacing all characters with asterisks. I personally left over both of those because I prefer not being treated like a child and having parental controls forced on me.
Also, drawback for mc bedrock is how they, still, after years have bugs where you’ll just randomly start taking damage or will be placing blocks that will not actually place, causing you to die from falling if you are high enough or other similar bugs. Works in single player, too, as far as I’m aware. Rubber banding kind of issues that I don’t know if they’ve actually fixed yet. I’d hope they have, but I doubt it. There’s a reason I’ve heard that version be called “bugrock” many times before in the past. Besides that, the bedrock version is also home to a marketplace where you have to use purchased in-game currency. Just something to keep in mind, despite it not being something you have to ever use. Also, that version doesn’t have access to basically any of the mods the java version has.
The drawbacks with Luanti are the fact that there’s a much more limited amount of content available in comparison to the behemoth mc. You have some games like VoxeLibre ( formerly MineClone2 ) and Age of Mending that are getting updated, but there are a lot more games not being updated because they’re either already completed or abandoned. You’ll also have some trial and error if you turn on a lot of mods for your save in any of the games because even if they say they’ll work in a game because dependencies are met, you still might have mods that instantly crash your save and give you an error that they won’t work for some reason or another. If you know lua you might be able to fix the errors, but do you really want to spend all that time fixing errors and getting a mod to work or would you rather just play without them? Same sort of problem, depending on the game, applies if you apply mods like Unified Inventory or any other Just Enough Items type inventory changing mods, like if you try on VoxeLibre. Haven’t figured out how to get Unified Inventory to work on there.
On the subject of specific games, for VoxeLibre ( one of the games trying to be a Luanti parity of minecraft ), you’ll probably be updates upon updates behind minecraft for a really long time or until the devs either quit or are forced to quit by macrohard/mojangles sending a cease and desist letter or something similar. Features that work just fine on mc, like redstone, might be buggy or don’t work the exact same on voxelibre. For example, due to differences in TNT explosion physics ( I assume ), TNT cannons don’t work despite the redstone for basic ones working just fine. Also, as a fault of Luanti in general, if you look in controls, your “Aux1” key is the sprint key in voxelibre, but absolutely nothing tells you that.
Out of the options they provided, I haven’t used packet or gsconnect, but the others I have had many problems with. I’m convinced my ISP absolutely hates these programs because I’ve pretty much never had any luck with using them to send stuff to and from my phone.
Hell, I consider it a miracle that I can even connect my laptop and desktop using Synchthing. Though that’s the one I have had the most success with in the past, so I’m not that surprised.
As someone who has started rewriting an old Summer Camp Island fanfiction I started around 2019 and never got very far with, I’m gonna have to say concentration and not getting writers block as the combo that would be the holy grail IMO. I’m sure a lot of writers in general could probably agree with that.
I definitely wanna get back into fanfic writing to a degree, but concentration and writers block have been my enemy.
Specifically for older titles, I’d definitely say a game like, if anyone could find the original first version to ever be released of the game and not one of the many rip-offs/clones, Tetris. It’s probably, as far as I’m aware, the most copied/cloned/ripped-off game in existence.
As for newer titles ( 2000 onwards ), I can’t think of any that I think should 100% be in museum. Most of the titles I can think of aren’t good enough, in my opinion, to go into a museum. I’m not an expert on judging what should go into a museum, but I couldn’t think of a single title that would fit in any exhibit.
Edit:
Tetris is already in the video game hall of fame. Should have figured. Definitely deserves its place there. Even so, someone with a floppy of the original or clone of the floppy or digital backup should definitely see if there are any museums willing to take a copy because the original is something I think would be a shame to completely lose.
My first thought when I read the cheese section was “Not even Wensleydale?”. Disappointed Wallace Face
One of my gripes with that game is the singular ending for the main game. Otherwise it definitely feels new compared to the original.
