Holy shit dude
A JackAndJellyFries mutual who I happened to befriend and grow closer with just fucking GIFTED ME THE GAME THIS EVENING
THIS EXPENSIVE ASS THING THAT I HAVE BEEN HOPING, PRAYING, SILENTLY BEGGING TO ONE DAY BE ABLE TO AFFORD, BUT HAD ALSO BEEN LOSING HOPE FOR
FOR F I V E.
F U C K I N G.
Y E A R S.
JUST LIKE THAT
I don't even. I. I literally cried.
Well I had to physically FORCE the word "yes" out of my mouth because accepting something so expensive was difficult, got anxious, cried from happiness, had fun screwing around in creative, got frustrated trying to figure out how to add my own skins, rejoiced when I finally figured out how to add my own skins, then spent a while on my own recording myself doing random shit in a peaceful survival world until I decided it's too late in the evening and I don't want people pissed off at me for talking loudly at 11:30 PM
@silvercrow72 I WILL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL FOR THIS, DUDE. YOU'RE FUCKING AWESOMEEEE
...Wait why is my recording's video running at 0.2 frames a seco-
Okay so about my first video
A while back, I told myself I'm gonna get my first Minecraft video uploaded at least by the 25th of November. Then the Bedrock update happened and I got pissed off about the free trial timer being taken away, so I dropped it for a while. And for the past few days, I've been working on an object show almost nonstop because I'm obsessing over my new laptop so I've been VERY distracted.
I'm only just now realizing that it's already the 23rd and I have zero video to edit or upload.
I don't know if I'm gonna keep using the Bedrock free trial or a knockoff game. I don't know how I want to edit the video, because my only good video editor needs internet and my internet is gonna be stupid slow until December (it takes like a minute to open a new browser tab right now). I'm not satisfied with my channel name, handle, description or picture. I haven't tried to fix my wonky audio. I don't even know what the hell my first video should be about T△T
Should I just go for it at this point?
GO NUTS! You'll look back on the chaos with fondness and laughter one day, trust
Maybe plan a little bit before going insane, sis?
Stop right where you are and figure out what the hell you wanna do first
Wait until December for better internet
I thought the big 25 was gonna be my big year but I forgot I'm a procrastinator (and idk what's wrong with this year but it kinda sucked tbh (so did every other year after 2022))
Minecraft Bedrock update/YT channel rant
I have been waiting. For years. To finally get Minecraft and start my YouTube channel. And I've had the Bedrock Edition free trial for a while now. I was READY to record my first video and upload it! And then a Minecraft update fucks up the whole game.
Well, not the whole game, but let me explain my biggest issue. The free trial timer.
When I open a new free trial world, there's a 90 minute timer until you can no longer play on the world, and when you pause, the timer used to show up in the pause menu. Here's an example I screenshotted from a video I made to test if my headset worked:
As you can see, there's a timer that says "remaining trial time" in the top right corner of the video.
But in the newest update/updates plural?/idk, when you pause the game, the timer isn't there. When you break a block, it shows up once, but that's pretty much the only time you see it:
NO TIMER. Until I could afford the full game and Java Edition(because I want freaking modsss), my channel was going to be about everything I know about the Bedrock free trial and how to have fun in as many ways as possible while being stuck in the free trial, because through hundreds (yes, hundreds) of worlds, I've learned how to exploit the hell out of the timer. Fuck wonky textures, fuck lag, I'm used to it. But it would be much harder to play without my timer.
If I knew how to cuss out Mojang, I totally would.
But I'm SO CLOSE to starting my channel now, I have a headset and a good editing app. I don't want this to stop me. I'm downloading a few different Minecraft knockoffs on Google Play Games. Unfortunately all the ones I've tried are a bit hard to work with because they're mobile games and don't let me play with a crosshair as a PC player, but if I don't find a game that lets me play with a crosshair, I can manage.
I haven't really played beyond seeing the timer in the pause menu is missing, I just left the game out of frustration. Some time later, I'll see how playable the game still is, because my thing was literally going to be exploiting the bedrock free trial and testing its limits. And that's what I'm gonna keep doing.
And if anyone has recommendations for good knockoff games, I would appreciate it SO MUCH!!! My preferred one right now is one called Minicraft: Crafting Building.
