Shadow118 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 It’s been 70 degrees out most of the day earlier on - damn that’s some perfect weather I’ve been enjoying the fresh air coming in with the window open today 🥰 Also looks like some buds have been sprouting on some plants and trees outside- so looks like plants and flowers will be starting to bloom in the upcoming weeks ____ Also started getting back into Minecraft again the past few weeks Been liking the seed I got earlier on that i got on my Switch file Though the past week I copied the seed and started/made the same world on the PC/laptop version and been working on that to catch up to where i am on the Switch world So far I’ve been liking the layout I’ve been doing on my world on the PC version Generation is somewhat different, but at least some things are at the same places still, thankfully - not sure on one of them though Though i don’t know the chances of it happening, but i got *extremely* lucky fishing up an enchanted book with Fortune III and been doing a lot of strip mining- been getting a decent amount of ores and such.. now im somewhat further than in the Switch version Granted i still haven’t made a house for myself in either though... really need to get around to doing that But aside of some error going on with the Marketplace access, but looks like i can at least login to my account, so there’s that at least - so at least i might be able to play on servers/with others, at least and have that option i guess And i think i can access achievements too, i think Can’t say it’s something I’ve tested with my phone’s personal hotspot connection Either way maybe I’ll stop procrastinating and checking out random seeds and actually beat it this time Haven’t messed around with Java and mods in awhile though either... wonder if anything brand new or older stuff has been brought over to newer versions of Minecraft Java?

EH_STEVE Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Finished 'Parks and Rec' - I had started it before years, and we stopped watching it somewhere in the second last season so I just started all over. So good. Watching 'The Irregulars' now and enjoying it so far. Link to comment
Edie Napier Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I have no idea what the fuck is happening in Death Stranding, but 6 hours in and I'm enjoying it a lot. It's the kind of meticulous tedium and unsettling ambiance I've been enjoying in games lately. Link to comment

Tyranogre Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 SacAnime (a con that I regularly go to) had a smaller-scale, social-distanced event planned for this weekend in the same vicinity where COVID vaccines were being given out. They had planned this event out far in advance, before the vaccines were even completed, and it just so happened that the vaccinations were scheduled for right before the SacAnime event was to take place. SacAnime even reached out to the health officials and offered to further restrict the scale of their event so that there could be more space to distribute vaccines, but the health officials declined. However, due to the timing, people are under the impression that SacAnime "booted out" the vaccinations from the vicinity just so they could hold their event. This is not true; it was all a misunderstanding caused by planning out the event ahead of time. Link to comment
ace Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 There shouldn’t be an anime convention right now. Full stop. The fact they’re even moving forwards with the event is beyond fucking stupid Spring 1 Link to comment
April Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) yeah i'd be even more concerned that they just got lucky regarding vaccine timing and otherwise they were willing to gamble on people's health to hold a con. it's not like any of the other ones are happy to be closed. everybody's in the same boat. it seems really irresponsible at best.

Tyranogre Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I never said it was a good idea. I'm not even going. But boycotting all future SacAnime events or harassing the voice actors for participating in an event that they didn't know was going to be controversial is crossing a line. Link to comment
ace Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I dunno, refusing to support an organization that thought it was okay to have an in-person event in the middle of a pandemic that’s killed almost 3 million people seems reasonable to me Link to comment

Tyranogre Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Twitter thread that goes into more detail. Apparently it’s also an issue with their event insurance. Link to comment
