@rasterman holy fucking shit notch is a madman
I guess he has fuck you money lol, he can do whatever he wants

@beardalaxy He once tweeted "It's OK to be White" and there was a moderate amount of seething; but yes, that was after MS paid him enough to have "fuck you" money.

@rasterman @Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum I don't like the new minecraft music. C418 was awesome. Hell I don't even like new minecraft much. Whenever I play I only go as far as like, whatever was there in 2014. I could play beta and not even notice I was playing it.

@beardalaxy @Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum This video did a good job explaining how newer Minecraft could be seen as less fun than before, legitimately.

tl;dw
Easy means to circumvent difficulty means the game is only challenging if you make it so

As recently as the new Hermitcraft season, player Bdubs was saying how he's gonna avoid Mending enchantments because otherwise you never have a reason to mine any more; and Elytra because he wants to actually make roads and travel on horse.

I see it.

This is all Notch's fault for adding beds to the game. :pepe_fact:
@Rasterman @beardalaxy @Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum decent video

But the real issue is infinite creeping updates. You can't do this forever and not expect to fuck things up. Honestly, Minecraft is freaking 13 years old. It's time to stop lmao. Of course the game is stale if you've been playing it for that long
@Rasterman @beardalaxy @Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum because when you update it for 13 freaking years you're basically going to start bloating it heavily and destroying the previous balance in a bad way
@coolboymew @beardalaxy @Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum It seems the balance was destroyed a long time ago. Like that one video said, everything added after a certain point has been a detour. Nothing is mandatory.

I'm glad they keep adding new types of blocks for the æsthetics. I wish they reworked the progression, however.

And on the topic of beds ruining the most exciting part of the game (surviving the night), I really dislike the phantoms. Now not only do they offer the chance to skip the night; but they encourage it! :whitecat_wtf: Found out the hard way coming back after years and playing on an anarchy server.
@beardalaxy @Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum @coolboymew I'm all for adding new monsters; but phantoms go against the original idea of Minecraft, possibly, more than any other feature in the game.

@rasterman @Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum @coolboymew oops sorry, you can no longer explore, mine, or craft, you must sleep or be forever tormented.

@beardalaxy @Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum @coolboymew The first moment I was attacked by them I thought they were annoying. Then that they were cool. Like, after so many nights with no sleep you go insane and attract monster...

...but some of the most memorable moments with the game I have come from long nights and lurking mobs. Like the time I tried to travel from base A to base B on a railroad on the ground (from the time when you couldn't make a minecart move by simply pressing forward) and a skeleton arrow disabled the cart. :pepe_giga: Nowadays it'd be unlikely I'd do that in the night, having so many incentives to sleep. :pepe_feelsweird:
