Wizard Update

 

Ive been busy scribing in my tower and going through a large library of tomes. Will party soon xoxo

youtube n food recommendation

fellow party goers and gamers, i come to you with another youtube recommendation. Default Cheesecake talks about gamers who held out on games that were shutting down. either their online services or the whole game, he goes through the stories of people who held onto those experiences and didnt let go. As someone who pondered my orb for the first time in the late 2000's and early 2010's, many games I played were lost. I also think its a lil funny too teehee.

games that I loved that I've lost to time and corporate decisions

- Free Realms

- The one Minecraft housing plot server I roleplayed on for HOURS

- Mineplex :(

-  Nintendo Online

But thats the end of my list because I didn't play many multiplayer online games as a child. Internet was a bit dubious at times and I had a lot of social anxiety :/. I still get a bit anxious playing with my mic on in an online game but thats just because they hear my girlyness and not my prowess at spellcasting and deep knowledge of tomes and scrolls. 

But I'd like to encourage you to seek out the games you can't play anymore and check in with the community. For example, the Free Realms community is working on recreating the game, and Cheesecake lists a few other examples too. Go see what people are still doing with these old games you used to love, or how they're trying to keep the game alive with each other.

Wizard Sighting This Weekend 7-6-24

 My dearest party go-ers and friends. I have spent too long in my spire observing my orb. I do not scribe my spellbook nor study the tomes. Seeking to remedy this, I am going out of the spire and onto the town! 

Come say haiii to me and see these bands preform at The Grid tomorrow the 6th. Remember to bring your healing potions and spell pouch incase of party mishaps. 317-529-1476 for the addy and park on a different street. 

Tour of Summer Minecraft Realm

 Hello spellcasters!!! I have been locked in my tower on the Minecraft Grind. Here is a tour of my magical minecrafting with my pals on our island.

 

 

The lighthouse built by the keeper, featuring the new nether building to the left and docks to the right. I've been fighting for my life playing bedrock as the PvE is not as 'easy' or smooth than Java. So i've been lighting up the island bcs im tired of throwing hands with the drowned. literally a waste of my mana smh. 

 

 

 

The docks (feat. Harbourmaster Hawk). Alongside my mine and a peak of the farm. All built with my magical hands and pinterest inspo boards. My "house" is in the mine as I have yet to build an actual home. I am saving up resources to build a spire to look upon this island town. 

 

Here is the community farm, I wanted to keep the mountain and change in elevation. So instead of carving the mountain out I terraformed and built the farm in the general shape of the slope. Featuring 5 layers of wheat, beetroot, carrots, and potatos. Pumpkins are being grown off the side if we go to The End. We have, however, started going into the nether in search of a fortress

 

I built this to house our nether portal, as piglins loooove following me out, grabbing onto the curtails of my robe. Thank you pinterest for the shape as

I had limited resources and used deepslate as the foundation, nether bricks as the details, and dark oak as the wood panelings and roof. I am still searching for soil sand to replace the torches with blue lanterns, but I am happy with how it turned out. 

 

 Here is my friends water wheel house. Featuring an open layout and beautiful texturing and detail. 

 

 

The villager trading area, built by the lighthouse keeper. Adorable design for them so thankful its not a 1x4 with a trading station and bed. Oh yeah and then theres 

The Hole

But anyway here are some pics of spawn. This is what I've been pondering my blue light orb over. 

you know we got jeb_ at spawn as always, love you jeb_ <3

youtube rec and art discussion

 Another day another youtube video recommendation

 

I love graphs and I love Skyrim. Any Austin makes the type of weird video game content I would want to make. He talks about when a video game pulls back the 4th wall to remind you of its nature, just because of the limitations in game development. This creator is obsessed (as am i) with the idea of going places the developer didnt intend for you to. If pondering your orb to video game logic interests you, check Any Austin out

It makes me think of Kristoffer Zetterstrand's paintings (He also created the minecraft paintings e.g. the flaming skull). I hope to have a print on my wall some day. Enjoy his abstract paintings circa 2003-ish.

It attempts to recreate that feeling in video games where you reach the edge of what the developers created for you. Its the extremity of their craft where you can see the crude, blocky, and digital frame which they build their art from. I love getting to peak behind the curtain, to see the glitched skybox, textures clashing in ways that dont make sense, to see how utilitarian these devs were.
