You know, Microbe Holmes,

[jabbage]

I was listening to a Sherlock Holmes audiobook with automatically generated subtitles and it uhhh got a little bit confused over a particular name.

Was this a productive use of my Sunday afternoon? Questionable.

Did I have fun? Definitely.

TRANSCRIPT BELOW CUT

Holmes is sat in his chair in his rooms in Baker Street. Dr Watson looks at him in surprise

Watson:  I don't believe it, Holmes. You say you have a brother who has greater intelligence than you?

Holmes: Oh indeed, Watson. My brother Minecraft Holmes possesses a far greater faculty for observation and deduction than I. He simply uses it in his own esoteric interest. If we visit him at his club in Pall Mall, I can show you.

Somewhere in Pall Mall...

Holmes and Watson enter a room where the 'absolutely corpulent' figure of Holmes' brother is standing over a large machine with numerous cams and wheels.

Sherlock: My dear Minecraft!

Watson: (to Holmes) I say! What is that incredible machine

Minecraft: Sherlock, old boy! You've come at an excellent moment.

Sherlock: (to Watson)  It is a computational device, inspired by Babbage's analytical engine. With it, Minecraft can perform calculations beyond the capability of the human mind.

Watson: What kinds of things does he calculate?

Minecraft: Apparently there is an ocean monument within 120 blocks of my spawn point. If can only find some diamond to mine obsidian and create a Nether Portal, I can aquire a blaze rod and some Netherwart to make an underwather breathing potion.

Holmes and Watson stare at him - Watson bewildered, Holmes resigned.

Minecraft homes perchance...

Absolutely. Victorian gentleman or cunty dwelling place: player's choice

The Weirdest Bug

The weirdest bug I've encountered so far in this game is that Mycroft will visibly glitch out sometimes. He'll be talking, and suddenly he'll do a stereotypical vapourwave glitch.

I've ended up having to go to people who are experts in using Adventure Game studio, and they have no idea why this is happening.

Possibly Explanation 1:

There's something weird and corrupt about his blinking animation and if I redo it or resave it, the problem might go away

Explanation 2:

These comics I drew are accurate and Mycroft Holmes has ascended to be an all-powerful entity of cyberspace.

[actualcanniballeggrestrade-blog]

Mycroft tho, and that umbrella

[jabbage]

A surprise sequel to this comic!

I'm aware I've threaded the needle even finer RE: the amount of knowledge you need to understand all the jokes, so here is a quick rundown of knowledge if you're confused:

Sherlock Holmes canonically has a brother whose name is actually Mycroft.

Minecraft comes on a range of different 'editions' Minecraft: Java Edition, Minecraft: Education Edition, Minecraft: PI edition etc etc...

In the story The Final Problem, Watson has to deduce Holmes' fate based on what he can observe. The text here is paraphrased from that story.

/ban is a command which will ban a player from a server.

/tp @p will teleport another player to you.

OP is short for 'operator' - someone with highest level permissions to change things like the rules of the game, weather, the time of day, etc. Our dear Minecraft may have just accidentally made himself a god.

Transcript below the cut.

TRANSCRIPT: The Return of Minecraft Holmes, Inventor of Minecraft: Difference Engine Edition.

We see Doctor Watson staring at the Reichenbach Falls.

Watson: It was all too easy to see what had become of my dearest friend in his final confrontation with Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls. Two lines of footmarks leading away, and none returning- And a churned up patch of ground indicating a struggle

Watson: (looking defeated) ...Oh, Holmes...

SEVERAL HOURS EARLIER

Holmes and Moriarty are engaged in a struggle on a narrow path above the falls. Suddenly, Moriarty disappears.

The words "/ban ProfMoriarty" appear in the sky.

Holmes looks confused.

The words '/tp @p Sherlock_Holmes' appear, and Sherlock vanishes too. He appears in a room where his brother is standing next to a strange steampunky computer.

Sherlock: What is this? Where am I? Minecraft, what have you done?

Minecraft: I'm the admin now, Sherlock.

[saltwaterscully]

John: I’d die for you

Mycroft: then perish

Sherlock: i’d die for you first you will

Mrs. Hudson: please don’t

Mary: lit
