(includes screenshots taken from baron's actual video)
god i have a lot of thoughts i can't even formulate into a concise post. do bear with me, while i regurgitate random thoughts i had while watching baron's new vid.
if you wanna watch it yourself, here's the link (again, don't watch if you want a spoiler-free 2.0 experience):
first of all CIRCUIT??? HELLO??? do you guys think it like, ruffles up its spikes when stressed/angry like birds do with their feathers? cuz i kinda think it does.
also zombie curcuit? skeleton circuit?? i can't tell how much of this is a direct consequence of the devs being there to mess with the dude while he played, but if this is an actual indicator that curcuit can now be ANYTHING, we're actually so cooked chat, i'm never touching the minecraft grass again. also this would mean calvin was right about the direction this was heading, like straight up a year ago bruh.
i never mentioned this because i didn't wanna get chased off the face of the internet, but i actually always preferred tbe's old design and i'm so glad the newest take on him kind of brought it back. he looks TERRIFYING. good god, i can no longer excuse my monsterfucking ways with this one, but i'm just so impressed, because minecraft horror mods in particular aren't usually this deliberate about designs. i love my boy so much, they did him justice.
we lost day b, as we were informed we would (rest in peace day b🙏 ) but we gained so. much. in terms of dimensions i can't even complain. also the loop? amazing. quite a few people scripting their videos and writing stories on tbs relied on the loop mechanic, i'm so glad it's finally REAL.
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT THING TALLER THAN TBE?? i am very very concerned. for my safety. i'm calling for backup (the gun mods).
blackout confirmed thief and griefer lmaooo. i mean we partially knew that already, but we didn't know whether it was his doing in particular or one of his clanmates.
is it just me or are null observes more common again? it gives me old tbs nostalgia. auro is gonna be excited about this❤️
SOUND DESIGN STEPPED THE FUCK UP DAMNNN not even just the music (fucking bangers btw), but also just the sheer amount of atmospheric sounds, that are there with the goal to mask the actual event sounds. there's so many sounds to the point you don't know if they actually mean something and i love that.
SUBANOMALY GOT A NERF GUYS WE CAN FINALLY LIVE ON THE FUCKING GROUND. I REPEAT WE CAN LIVE ON THE GROUND
i honestly don't know how i feel about new designs for void creatures being more 3d. like in my head, since minecraft is 3d, they were supposed to look out of place and it kind of defeats the purpose. also making their designs thicker and more animal-like kind of made them remind me of all the dweller mods, so i am not as much of a fan of that route. it's nit-picking at this point tho, i can't wait for the release.
