hey guys are we talking about how long grian wanted to team up with etho and how when they finally became a team they ended up so terribly intertwined in a task that was catastrophic to the server or are we glossing over that

i'm soooo normal about etho. i'm soooo normal about how he mixes blocks all haphazardly that come together to make a unique, eye-catching build. i'm so normal about how easy on the eyes his block choices are, despite the wild variations.

i'm so so normal about his inclusion of how light affects the colors around it. him making his mailbox centric by playing with the brightness that yellow naturally gives off, specifically in comparison to the dirty oranges, reds, and browns around it.

i'm so normal when he finishes projects and you realize it was better that he waited for that motive to strike again instead of forcing completion.

i'm normal about how he finds a way to include wacky little redstone contraptions (netherwart farm set off by eating around it, hello? hello?? almost like the netherwart hears the eating and hides. the allay–guardian farm. these little guys whizzing around and nipping items off the surface of the water) that maybe aren't the most efficient ever but they have personality.

what a genius. just such an intelligent guy. i'm normal about etho.

i'm really finding all the hate for the new update distasteful.

i think no matter what mojang delivers, there's always going to be a crowd who preach that mods could do it better, or mojang is getting lazy. they complain about the updates being lackluster or unappealing or downright terrible.

i think it's dramatic.

minecraft is a game that's been running for 13 years now. minecraft is a game that has such a strong sense of community in so many different forms. minecraft is a game about taking a world and molding it to suit you.

so we found creative ways to build things that weren't in the game originally. we made our own extra content. we joined groups and created communities. we found lookalikes—roses as tomato plants, a minecart as a chair, banners as mirrors—to fill in those little details.

and when that wasn't enough, we created mods. we programmed add-ons and used minecraft as a blueprint, because minecraft was never meant to be a world left untouched by the player.

what a lot of people seem to forget is that every new addition to minecraft is just a little more for the blueprint; adding a walk-in closet to the master bedroom, building a pantry in the kitchen, renovating the dining room with crown molding and a new paint job.

and you're not paying anymore for the game! you're getting all these world updates for free—even added on to your current worlds.

this content doesn't bring in something you absolutely needed beforehand. it richens the world. it details the blueprint.

and if you're unsatisfied, build onto it.

that's what the game is about.

etho & xisuma's voices are so so different in a way that is so complimentary to each other? i don't know their collab in etho's latest episode (HC10 EP10) threw me for a loop.

often, i don't have the actual time to sit and watch an episode, so i'll listen to it while i'm doing something else. i love love love pulling up etho's videos just because i love his voice so much already—sort of gravelly, just excitable enough to not be boring, but not overly energetic.

xisuma's voice kind of sounds like what i imagine vanilla would sound like if it could talk. very smooth, plain, sweet. easy on the ears. so his vocals pairing with etho's was genuinely such an enjoyable listen.

i'm just a voice girlie at heart honestly & i love both of their voices so much

i mean. i can't be the only one.

right now watching the hermit's content and finding etho just. roaming around. la dee da and fit as a fiddle. is the equivalent of scraping cake crumbs out from between wooden floorboards.

fwhip has kept that two-week minecraft phase intensity throughout his entire hardcore playthrough and it's honestly insane. how does he do it

etho's bow's name (2 less inventory spots) has me in tears. why does it come off so passive aggressive. what did the bow and arrows do to him. we know this man loves his inventory space but... for someone who whiffs so hard all the time with his sword you would think he'd find the bow to be his best asset. very good use of inventory space.
