schneefink: River walking among trees, from "Safe" (Default)
I wanted to make another post but most things on my brain currently - well, the ones I want to talk about - are in some way Minecraft-related, either playing myself or watching other people play it. Well, Minecraft and pending-exam-anxiety, but I took the next week off for studying so I should be fine, fingers crossed. Minecraft is helpful for anxiety, but I'll need to be very disciplined so it doesn't distract me too much. Fortunately I can usually never play longer than an hour at a time before I need a break, idk why.

DD tried out a Minecraft demo and loved it :D (Quote DD: "I feel like "loved it" doesn't fully encompass my emotional reaction.") I'm very happy and proud of my success rate at getting her into things, it's fantastic. (DD: "You're an evil enabler and I hate you." Me: "I'm so good at this." DD: "You know what's the worst thing, you're getting better at it." This might be a good place to mention that we are also currently watching SMP Earth together, and while she's not watching herself, she admitted to enjoying the exposure to MCC and DSMP through me.)
She's on her second world (she got frustrated because there was so much ocean in the first one), and she's already built herself a house with a farm and she has a ton of resources because she's exploring so many caves. DD has been playing different versions of Civ and the Sims for over two decades, and in the past year I got her into playing Hades and Phoenotopia, and yet yesterday she told me that playing Minecraft is the first thing that makes her feel like a "gamer," which tbh I find hilarious.
Maybe we'll play together on a multiplayer world eventually :)

Teams were announced for the next MCC and I'm very excited about it already. I'm still watching older MCCs, I'm up to MCC 9, but my pace has slowed down a lot because the more players I'm familiar with the more different perspectives I want to watch.

I've also been watching more DSMP, some old ones and some more recent ones. Yesterday was the big end of Las Nevadas and it was fun. Spoilers )
