    Yeah, this is so true. I always play with the datapacks from vanillatweaks that allow you to recombine certain block types back into their base type. Like wood stairs back into wood block. Makes it slightly more bare-able. Do you do anything to make it better? If you do, I need to know 😅

    I think it's still simple enough, and actually simpler to get into and start playing now due to QoL improvements. I'm pretty casual, but I do run a server, and the Minecraft community who play regularly seem to mostly be asking for way more content.

    For those saying this is probably just the devs being lazy... Well, they took the effort to write these two lines of CSS, and took the time to make sure they displayed as the exact same color.

        input:checked+.slider {
          background-color: rgba(18, 107, 255, 1);
        }
    
        input+.slider {
          background-color: rgba(18, 107, 255, 1);
        }
    

    So there was effort to make both sides blue, whether that was incompetence or intentional, the design itself is still an asshole design and should be shamed :) Good toggle switches can be found all over the web in seconds!

    Purposefully deceitful toggle switch colours. Am I saving my preference to receive none, or to receive all?

    This is important, and so good!

    We literally can't all switch to electric right now so that's not a problem 😉 but yeah, if I do try to imagine it, I imagine a world where most people charge their cars at home or at work, so the only problem to solve is upping the charging capacity along certain long distance tourist routes. But we can build lots of lovely high speed rail to help decongest those routes 😋

    I bought a Oneplus One (300 €) and kept it for 5 years, then a Samsung S10e (475 €) and still have it now, so going to be 5 years soon too.

    Concerning Minecraft, as I know the game it seems fine, playing Java on a survival server I run for friends.

    However, I wonder what the experience is for the other millions of players, on Bedrock, highly popular monetized servers, etc.

    What crappy casino-like techniques are used to monetize Minecraft in those contexts? I really don't know as I'm in my own Minecraft bubble, but I'm sure there are lots of examples as it's such a monumentally large game.

    I do currently keep a list of tasks and organise them daily, but what you said about putting on a different hat made me realise that I've been treating it as a chore to get done as fast as possible, whereas I should respect this stage and allot myself the time to get into the correct headspace. Thank you for the detailed reply and your encouragement!

    Thanks for the compliment 🙂 and yes that's exactly it, I've been frustrated at myself about being overly critical of my own work, and would love to get more of that flowstate urgency you feel while participating in gamejams into my everyday life. But you're right, I'm going to follow your advice and make it more prominent!

    I wasted my time making this shader!

    Knowing when to put the mouse and keyboard down is hard. I made this quite detailed shader, but it only fills a tiny part of the screen... Like maybe the player will see this once or twice max, but the rest of the time this element will only take up 40x40 pixel area 😅 What techniques have you found that help to keep you on track and let you understand when it's time to stop?
