And there goes my summer. Year?
Made the... probably unwise decision to buy Minecraft last Sunday. As is my tendency, I jumped in long after the fandom had gotten so huge and entrenched that entering it as a newbie is nearly impossible. However, there is an offline/single-player option, and that's what I'm playing.
Haven't made anything cool yet. I'm playing in "Survival" mode, which is more game-y and less "hey look I recreated [location] from [preexisting title]." The one such landmark that I would enjoy trying is the staircase/gondola/duelling arena from Utena, but that would be truly epic only if I could also construct the upside-down End of the World castle. Aaaand that's a taller order. [Edit: In part because the only? white block type is wool. A giant... wool... staircase.)
For now, it's just a time-sucking diversion. That's unwise, considering that I have a major commission due - as in non-negotiable due date - in a couple of weeks. Time to act like a grownup! Or at least try very hard.
