Heh

Something different maybe?

Lately, I've been getting bored of Minecraft. I think the sheer scale of Project Skywall burnt me out half way through it, so I'll probably take a break until the Halloween update comes out. For the time being, I'll probably just work on my backlog of anime and VNs, or I might pick up another huge timesink of a game, like

What the hell?: A bit of a rambling, not well thought out rant

So today I was at my crappy job (inb4 >job >/jp/) picking up after people at a supermarket and noticed pic related among other things in a cart full of damaged goods and displaced items. This is probably one of the strangest things I've seen packaged together in a while, think about it for a second; what exactly would require double As and glue? Something very, very niche that's for sure. That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw this odd combination, and to think someone out there gets paid good money to come up with this crap too.

Project Skywall: A most interesting development

So I was working on Project Skywall and this happened:

Another massive chunk error, yeah this map is pretty damn wierd. Makes me wonder how many of these I'll run into Basically, it's pretty much the same as The Rise, but bigger, and with more caves in the sides of it that zombies like to pour out of. There's also a few lava flows as well.

...I should really find something else to talk about on this blog aside from Minecraft.

Quick update: Anyone have some sand they don't need?

So I just did some math and realized that I need at least 1.5 MILLION blocks of glass to complete Project Skywall. Problem is, other than the fact that smelting all that sand would take forever and a day, my map currently only has 500k blocks of sand in it according to Cartograph. Well, I knew I was going to resort to using INVedit at somepoint during this project, but I didn't think that I'd have to rely so heavily on it.

Minecraft: The Rise: Project Skywall: The Movie: The Game

Oh damn, I haven't made a post in a couple of days...

Anyways, I started on the megaproject I mentioned in my previous Minecraft post a few nights ago, which I decided to dub "Project Skywall". So far, I've only put about an hour into it because I've been occupying my time with other things recently, and it's going to take several more hours to finish, but for the sake of actually working on a project in a video game until completion for once in my life I'll see it through to the end.

Currently, I've only dug out the centerpoint on the top of the Rise and used most of the cobblestone I had mined and stored away up to that point to build part of one of the skybridges, which really, in the context of this project, won't be skybridges at all, but more like some sort of support structure holding up the perimeter once I finish it.

Before I go any further, I need to do a bit more planning so I don't screw up colossally and not realize it until I'm close to finishing. With the sheer scale of this project, the potential for something going wrong because I screwed up while planning is pretty big.

Here's a screenshot of what I've got so far:

I don't think I'll extend the radius of the glass ceiling any further than that, once I'm done with this project I'm going to spend some time (and several torches/buckets of lava/both) getting rid of all the snow and ice, and I don't want to spend forever doing that because I made the ceiling too big. At this rate, it's already going to be gigantic.

Putting my Minecraft addiction on hold

I just found out that the full translation patch for Mirai no Kimi to, Subete no Uta ni (Miku VN) was released yesterday. Fucking. Glorious. Words can't describe how happy I am right now.
