If you play close attention to the "power’ of your toilets flush… you’ll notice when it’s getting close to a clog. That flush will make you second guess something isn’t right. And if your neglect it, you will sooner or later realize it was in fact on its way to clog.
The life of a homeowner. Many of you have NO idea the amount of chit you need to learn and pay attention to on a daily basis to make sure your home is well maintained. Adulting fkin sucks.
Probably. I’ll be surprised if they don’t finally stop this noncense this year or next with all the negative feedback it got last year.
Just give us the new features without threatening us with other features “lost forever”.
That being said, I will always give credit where credit is due - for a game fullly released in 2011, the fact we have gotten significant free anual updates for the past 13 years is insane. Unlike the other major 2011 release (Skyrim) that seems to only update to break mods for fun.
I did not keep up with Minecraft over the years, only just looked into this now, but yeah, this seems so arbitrary. There’s a mob (armadillos), then an intermediate item (armadillo scutes) and the only usage for that is crafting wolf armor.
Whatever happened to not having a million different items? Like, that’s pretty much game design 101, to combine mechanics where possible. They could have allowed equipping a leather body armor on a wolf for the same gameplay mechanic.
But it really does look like they wanted to add some animal for the publicity and then needed to shoehorn any purpose at all for it.
Right, I even forgot about horse armor. That’s been in there for a while, but I’d remove that item, too. I have been doing Minetest, so that’s probably where all the opinions come from. 😅
Seems like you’re some kind of purest…go back to the Alpha versions? Which, they actually make really easy.
Personally I like features that provide a new purpose and build off of existing systems. Horse armor is a a natural progression for protecting your horse. Its mirrors the player armor system with materials (leather to diamond). Wolf armor breaks the mold, it could mimic player/horse armor in mechanics and material progression, but instead it comes from armodillo scales with seemingly no way to upgrade. They even copied the ability to dye the armor - they probably copy pasted the code for leather and made a new redundant item.
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.
It is unfortunate, but there is also reason to be optimistic. It’s clear that they want to make use of existing items, especially under-utilized ones from previous releases. It’s something that they’ve repeatedly talked about over the past year. It’s even one of the design principles from Jeb’s internal handbook. Take copper: added in 1.17, used for brushes in 1.20, and used for copper bulbs, doors, grates, and trapdoors in 1.21. They even briefly played with copper horns in Bedrock. Or tuff: also added in 1.17 as a totally useless block, with variants fleshed out in 1.21 that makes it surprisingly useful for building. Not to mention the crafter and potions of infestation/oozing/weaving are entirely made from existing items, or the new paintings that don’t require any new items at all. Even completely new items are tried to have as many uses as possible from the start: wind charges have tons of different applications. I think Mojang has been paying attention to this trend for longer than most of us have, and we’re finally starting to see it shift how they approach update design.
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.
What, are we 80 years old here. Posting Facebook memes mad the damn kids are always on their damn phones?
I am a travel and outdoors enthusiast, I love being outside and experiencing a new city or the wilderness, but also, phones are powerful technology that allow us to find directions or look up where to go.
The real issue isn’t that we are using it, it’s that they are being used to collect and sell our data for advertising, that algorithms are designed to keep us on our phone instead of experiencing the world.
It’s boomer shit to post this meme and be like, society bad, people on phones.
The classic meme goes “not a phone in sight. Just people enjoying the moment”. This is a play on that by swapping the words and romanticizing phones instead.
Tankies keep on posting walls of texts in !memes about communism, or was it the liberals, anyway people i don’t like are posting walls of text about communism in !memes… I love this post, for next time can you draw some conclusions about the survey so I don’t have to think to hard about these numbers, I can’t count past 10.
One of the first things I did when my gf and I started dating was buy her one, so that when I finally got comfortable enough to drop dueces at her place I wouldn’t be up shit creek without a plunger
I actually didn’t even have a conversation about it with her at first I just snuck one in her house and put it by the toilet. Now later on she did mention that just doing that was more than a lot of dudes in the last relationships she’d been in had done for her in months and months. I upgraded to also bringing her over a second one for her second bathroom and a set of toilet scrubbers and bleach gel and I’m always keeping her toilet paper stocked up. Also bring some baby wipes over to keep things extra clean. I try to get her a lot of practical gifts like I’ll go to Sam’s and just constantly keep her stocked up on paper towels that I got in my trunk, hell we’re practically married at this point all this old people stuff I’m doing for romance. It it kind of start with the selfish need for a toilet plunger in case I clogged hers up though lol. I’m just glad we’re finally getting past that awkward phase of being shy and timid about bodily functions like pooping peeing farting that kind of stuff and we’re able to talk about it and joke about it now.
