Is 14
Calls power company
Sure
I got in a fight with Verizon and the FCC over bootloader locking when I was 15, some of us just have nothing better to do than be a complete and utter pedantic menace as kids
Awww did mum and dad not let you use the phone? 😭
Anyway the correct response is fake+gay. If you analyze it you’ve already lost.
I don’t care about people growing weed and making some moneys.
But if you’re going to fuck up the electricity net or even stealing it from your neighbors, you’re a fuckhead.
Nowadays you can just use LED lights and a heat pump and be extremely stealthy. Maybe even put some solar panels.
Don’t worry, it’s just a story.
Don’t worry either, it’s not like I think I’m replying to OP.
yep, do what you want, but don’t fuck things up for other people
I’m assuming that comment is about AI data centres?
It isn’t but feel free to notice the obvious similarities.
Or move somewhere you can grow it legally, then you don’t have to be stealthy.
Like the US? No thanks.
Worldwide there are not many places. It’s not even legal in the Netherlands to grow weed (with an exception for personal use).
Kid’s not thinking big enough. Now that they have evidence, they can blackmail the neighbour into buying them a better computer and a UPS
that’s the problem with kids in context of power and the state, it’s very easy to bribe them and they don’t have a bit of loyalty.
Are we talking abt Hitler youth, maga youth?
maybe
Dude got mom’s smoking buddy arrested
Yeah grower Steve probably would have been totally sympathetic to the Minecraft plight too, base d on the stoners I know
Should’ve just called the power company and had them assess a new transformer
A power company willingly looking at increasing residential capacity or fixing issues that can’t be blamed on the homeowner? HA
We had a bad transformer that took 6 months of constant nagging before they would even send a tech out, and they still threatened to charge us for the visit. That guy turned white as a ghost when we told him the issues we were having and that the transformer was the one next to the neighbor’s massive nearly dead tree. The internal bars had melted and he said it could have exploded at any point, easily burning at least that neighbor’s house down, and probably a good chunk of the neighborhood since it was a dry desert climate.
My dad ran a business out of our garage when I was a kid. Big machinery. And whenever he’d get into to something tough and bog the machines down, the power in the house would sag so much the lights would brown out and the picture on the tube tv would get real small. This happened all the time, for YEARS. We’d called and complained so many times. Every once in a while they’d send a tech out, he’d plug into the meter socket on our house with a tester, then deem the values appropriate, and leave.
We were like no seriously, when there’s a real heavy load it’s bad. Nope, it’s fine, blah blah.
For YEARS.
Then one day the breaker on the pole blew, and they came out to reset it. And when THIS lady came, we begged her, please, something is wrong, please look closer. So she climbed the pole, low and behold the transformer and wiring was all roasted up there. I forget what the explanation was, but they needed to replace the whole thing.
We never had a problem after that 🤷♂️
That tracks, corporations would rather their customers die than provide them the service they pay for.
“Nyx is pretty cool. I like the way they turn into a bat. But I don’t see what that has to do with your electrical issues.”
As the father of a Minecraft-obsessed kid, this feels intended to fuel my dislike of Minecraft.
So did the movie. And all those obnoxious YouTubers.
Is that it? Is mojang just an elaborate put-on?
nah dude Minecraft is great. sandbox game that allows creativity and problem solving and whatnot.
now, the microsoft-approved and promoted servers and ad content, fuck all that shit with bedrock. but basic Minecraft is great. just gotta get your kid onto basic java and away from bedrock where they serve you ads and shit
Get a mod with grappling hooks and hang gliders and tornados and bouncy shoes, awwwhhh yeahhhhh
Its been a number of years since I played either version, dont you pay for java and for bedrock? Why do they insert ads? Back in abt 2019 I didn’t see any of that on Bedrock
The YouTuber that got me into Minecraft was like 40yo when I started (I was already in my 20s back then for what it’s worth) and is anything but obnoxious. If you’re specifically looking for YouTubers and streamers who aren’t annoying, you will definitely find them. Have you seen regular old children’s TV? “Obnoxious” is just what children like.
“Obnoxious” is just what children like.
So that explains Mr Beast.
Basically, yeah
Meh, minecraft is not so bad. Its pretty much legos. Did it change much? I played it in beta and never since.
Microsoft enshittified the fuck out of it
base Minecraft is still there (except in bedrock, bedrock is super enshittified with official servers and ads and stuff and they make it difficult to connect to your own self hosted server, it’s fucked)
but java, you can still play just like old times, for the most part. shittier launcher. more login annoyances. but that’s about it in my experience.
Then you’ve played it more than me. I said my kid is obsessed, not me. I don’t know why everyone is chatting me up about it tbh
My point is, you should try it and play with him, because it’s legos and everyone understands legos and has an imagination waiting to be awoken.
No, but Microsoft bought Mojang out 12 years ago, and Microsoft gonna Microsoft.
I don’t keep up.
There’s a pill for that
Everything Microsoft does is bad. I use arch btw
As many others have pointed out, Microsoft made Minecraft shit. 10 - 15 years ago it was an awesome little game. Loved to play it with my friends on our server. Somebody was always online and you could talk, hang out, explore or do a project together.
Nowadays you open it and it has a shop and some ingame currency and weird collabs with popular IPs. That’s simply not what Minecraft used to be and whenever I watch a modern trailer for it, I wanna throw up.
Java edition, my friend.
I have been playing Minecraft with a small group of friends on a self-hosted private server on and off for the past 15 years. No ads, no coin shop, no annoyance.
As for the screaming YouTubers, obviously they exist, but there are also some nice chill peeps out there. EthosLab or Bdoubleo100 for example - especially their single player worlds where it’s just them working on projects and building.
You do know Java edition has no shop or anything?
Have you all tried Luanti? I’ve randomly stumbled upon it when I was looking for open source games for Android. I’m not a Minecraft player so I can’t tell if it’s any good.
I tried it a few times and did not like it very much. Like lots of open source games it was not all that well designed and lacked identity and direction. As the other person said, it might be a fun sandbox though.
I’m not sure I understand you.
Java edition is also developed by Mojang/Microsoft and is basically identical to the bedrock edition in core features.
It was the original Minecraft edition, and if you remember playing Minecraft 10 to 15 years ago it would likely be the Java edition you were doing it on.
They asked about Luanti and my comment was about that
My bad sorry, I completely misread what your comment was replying to!
On the subject of Minecraft alternatives, I haven’t tried it myelf but Vintage Story seems pretty interesting. Started life many years ago as a Minecraft mod and is now it’s own thing.
I tried it maybe a year ago. It works as a sandbox, but it’s kind of empty compared to Minecraft and the environments are much less varied. There’s just a lot more to do in Minecraft.
Microsoft stole my minecraft account.
Mine as well. There’s a class action lawsuit, I signed up for it.
where does one find such a thing?
Mine, too!
The movie isn’t very representative of Minecraft and was probably designed for teenagers who love “brainrot”
Some non-obnoxious YouTubers are the Hermitcraft crowd, notably Grian
Hey! I’m in my 20s and I also love brainrot!
CHICKEN JOCKEY
minecraft can be very nice and wholesome, it’s just that nice and wholesome doesn’t sell (or rather big companies don’t think it sells in this case). hermitcraft is an example of nice and wholesome minecraft, just a bunch of people playing on one minecraft server for a year or more (and then they start a new world, restarting the series in a new season) and making videos about every week. the members are usually pretty creative and kindhearted, and I can’t really complain about them at all except maybe iskall, who had allegations pop up about him sexting women while married, who reacted to the allegations super unhelpfully and who left or got kicked off the server very quickly. major decisions like that are done by the server members voting on decisions instead of just one person being a bit dictatorish.
