Minecraft is the best selling game of all time. It's a open world sand box game available in almost every modern platform, and has sold 200 million copies. It was created by Hatsune Miku alone.
What many players do in this game is build buildings and correct resources to expand their base, however that is not my playstyle so I won't be discussing that, I will be talking about speedrunning for most of this thread.
Minecraft is a constantly updated game, with only a single Minecraft Bedrock, Java, Education and Pocket edition (these are the main editions, I will focus on Java edition). It's updates are by 1.(update version).(sub update version). My main focus will be on versions 1.7-1.8, 1.12.2 and 1.16.1.
Very basics of speedrunning.
All pre 1.9 non-SSG main categories require obtaining ender pearls and blaze rods to enter the end portal. The end portal is in the stronghold, located using the eyes of ender created with pearls and rods. Optimally obtaining end pearls changes throughout the versions, however blaze rods are always dropped from blazes in the nether fortress. Nether fortresses are in the nether, typically entered via magma ravines or (especially in pre 1.13, as this was the version where magma ravines where added) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPm7RC1EG90&t=1s](a lava pool)
1.7-1.8
1.8 is the main version used for PVP in Minecraft. This is due to the difference in player knockback and most importantly damage and damage cooldown differences.
The main Minecraft server used for PVP and the most popular server in the game is hypixel.net, a multi-mini game server, average around 100k players a day (you can fact check me on this I am not sure on the specifics).
1.8 in conjunction with 1.7.2 are the two main categories ran for pre 1.9 speedrunning. 1.8 has different Endermen AI as well as different bed explosion mechanics (this is extremely important to quickly kill the ender dragon, the final goal of a typical RSG/SSG/SRG/FSG speedrun. More on these categories later.). The strategy used at the moment is to use tower strategies to kill Endermen very quickly, and get ender pearls from them. 19:52 world record can be viewed here . The current WR is in 1.8 and sub 20 minutes.
1.12.2
This version is not nearly as speedran as other versions, as in the 3 sub categories pre 1.9, 1.9-1.15, and 1.16 1.12 falls in 1.9-1.15 which has 1.14 and 1.15, far faster versions for speedrunning however as a person deeply involved in advocating for a 1.9-1.13 category split as well as strategy crafting for 1.12 and 1.13, I I find it extremely enjoyable and with much to talk about. 1.12 uses one of these towers:

reasons for a 1.9-1.13 category split
1.14+ has different ender dragon mechanics, with a perch allowing for one cycling. 1.9-1.13 does not have this, as well as a different end fight from pre 1.9, which involves dragon charging and single bed explosions.
1.14+ also has vastly different villager trading mechanics, far overshadowing the villager trading doable in 1.13 and 1.12.
There's far more in-depth discussion about a split, however this is a entry level minecraft megathread
1.16+
This is my main version and the most popular speedrunning category at the moment, and the 2nd most popular of all time, despite being little more than a year old.
1.16 is by far the fastest and most optimized version. This is due to bastions and subsequently Piglin trading. This allows for blind travel (because 1 block in the nether is equivalent to 8 the overworld, blind travel speeds up the travelling needed to get to the stronghold https://www.desmos.com/calculator/qplsfdkth8 as the distance to the stronghold is large (look at the first ring in the graph for the typical strongholds we use) , far faster collection of pearls+more so you can travel using them, the ability to speed up the bed getting process (for end fights as you may recall), and fire resistance for faster blaze fights. This allows the RSG WR to be <10 minutes
You may be wondering what RSG, SSG, and FSG are.
RSG
RSG is random seed glitchless, where the goal is to kill the ender dragon in a randomly generated world without glitches. It is the most played category.
SSG
SSG, or set seed glitchless uses a pre determined seed (found using a semi-automated seed-finding process). These are far faster and single seeds are scouted to perfection. The 1.16+ WR is 1:55 .
FSG
FSG, or filtered seed glitchless, uses a program to pre-find seeds that fit a certain criteria and are far better than your typical RSG seed, but they are played w/o previous knowledge of the seed. 4:47 by Dav1E is the incredible world record
This is just scratching the surface, https://discord.gg/minecraftspeedrunning this is the overall discord server, https://discord.gg/Y7mA7SEd35 and the 1.9-1.13 server. Anything else isn't much fun (overall server should get you everything you need).

Anyone notice that the gamers took over the Megathread the same time the Taliban took Kabul? The NWO is trying to make it 2008
i heard the mods were paid by gamers so they would just pin the gaming mega without a fight
Discovered today that I just am fully repulsed by dating apps. Can't use them without feeling awful.
Job applications also feel awful to do. Maybe that's it. Just the weird deadness where you're supposed to be making some kind of emotional connection but you're just staring at a screen.
I really really dislike the idea of marketing/selling myself, its an ugly framing that makes me feel devalued or that i should be doing it because thats what you do.
Fuck that noise.
Ok, but what if you find being a commodity highly erotic
I'm familiar with the fetishism of the commodity, but are you gonna let us in on the secret thereof?
Maybe being an economic good feels economic good
If nothing else it was a confidence boost watching the likes number go up lol
Gonna try my chances at real-life people I think.
same, so I just don't. lonely as fuck but to hell with all that shit. I don't even want to be told I "need" to smile or some shit
You just put into words why I despise dating apps so much. Thank you.
At least you don't need to fill out a new resume again before you match with someone
Try to reframe it as creating a profile that the kind of person you wanna talk to would click on, and it's a lot easier. Don't sell yourself, don't buy into people.
Happy molotov day! (is that the name we stuck with?)
Also dating apps are the worst.
Isn’t it kind of shocking how the antivax movement, once thought of as a fringe phenomenon, turned out to be half the population once shit actually hit the fan?
That’ll pretty much be the out and out nazis with Libs in tow. Shit’s fucked. Watch out for the ecofash as well.
there's lots of stupid hippy liberals and wine moms who are anti-vax too, thanks to facebook, qanon getting into "wellness" social media circles, etc.
I saw a study years ago that showed that liberals were slightly more prone to be antivax, but I think it's safe to say that the political demographics have shifted considerably.
Can vouch for this personally.
The "wellness" crowd is heavily opposed to medicine in general as well.
I've been worried about it spreading for years now. My step brother's girlfriend had some of the dumber members of my family considering not getting their kids vaccinated after like one afternoon because theyre so afraid of their kids being autistic

I rushed the end cause I had to stop writing, will add more info as I go along
Kind of proud of myself because I've stopped looking at porn so much. My last step is just to delete my bookmarks and shit I have saved. Honestly, it's tmi, I know, masturbation isn't even "fun" anymore. Plus it's hard to do being on so many psych meds. I went from spending about 2 hours a day looking at porn to viewing it for maybe all of 10 minutes a few times a week.

had a cashier tell me im gonna die in 2-3 years due to the vaccines.

Saw somebody on reddit insisting that an excavated nazi mass grave in Poland must have either been full of people killed by communists or that it was full of communists who deserved it. Checked their profile and they posted in tons of historical war and sandbox game subreddits. Always with these fucking people.
Man I really

these godawful

hangovers.
Eat some sort of bready food while you're drinking like pretzels or uuuuuh bread. Helps me out, anyways. :meow-floppy:
Obviously it doesn't completely nullify the hangover but staying hydrated while you're drinking helps
Illegal street racers can fuck off Christ. It's 3am and these people are racing though the neighborhood, seriously? I love fast modified cars too, but still this is way too much. Woke me up again! At least they're not as bad as the drunk drivers that just crash into shit all the time. There's a house here that is behind a blind 90 degree coner which fence gets crashed into by drunk drivers multiple times a year. Fuck they even put flashing lights and shit, the road looks a Christmas tree with all the warnings and the drunks still miss the turn!
Illegal street racing and drunk driving, they're bad folks.
I hear those dumbasses going down my street most nights now. A few years ago there was a series of deaths caused by hit and runs and it's like these people want to bring that back
