I'm a sci fi author who is completely obsessed with Minecraft. I have a youtube channel about my various Minecraft projects, have a look if you're interested: youtube.com/channel/UCekrZ…

@STerry000 @xBCrafted Not sure what you are trying to say here. 10 minutes to do what? And why do your location and financial circumstances come into this? IF you are saying xB should have a second Twitter account because it's easy, I have a feeling you have missed the point.

Side note: Telling me i shouldn't express my opinion cause "this is a minecraft twitter" or anything along those lines, will change nothing.. This is my twitter. This is my only twitter. This will always be my only twitter. I will say what I please, on my twitter.

Personal opinion: As a gun owner and concealed weapons license holder... who "endured" a background check for both things.. At no point did I feel like any right was taken away. I just had to wait a few days. It was less painful than doing literally anything at the DMV.

@iJevin I see why you say that, but I also raise you how frustrating it is to deal with villagers, and how bloody long it takes to get them to the OP stage. It's its own kind of grinding for sure.

@ARStone31 I think it depends. If it's about true harm reduction (like avoiding blatant racism in older works), then it's fine. But there are big differences between true harm, offense, & discomfort. To be fair, I also think this issue is too nuanced for twitter.

Alright, I'm angry enough that I finally have to ask this question. How would you feel about the next generations taking your work and censoring it just because they didn't like what you wrote or agreed with your beliefs? I'm sorry, but isn't that effectively putting a hand over

Next build is an old historical building in Melborne, currently used as a McDonald's. We now have fast food in TSU! youtu.be/JnYrVhV3Hr0

@lrphilipson OK. Gross. Firstly, trash bag boots, not hygienic. Secondly, ramen really only works with boiling water in small scale, this would cool too fast. Thirdly, driving around like that would spill everywhere. Because physics. Such a waste of food just for clicks.

@lrphilipson When people are in living memory of the history, I think there needs to be adequate respect, particularly if the events are terrible. So if Anne Frank's living relatives are OK with a fictionalised version, why no? I think, fiction is also how we process trauma as a society.

a lot of people have voiced opinions on this and I don’t have anything to say about the film itself good or bad because I don’t know enough about it, BUT, it is a little weird when people act like historical events should never be revisited in a fictional or fantastical context

Where Is Anne Frank, the new animated feature from Ari Folman (Waltz with Bashir) is new to watch at home. A visionary retelling of the Anne Frank story that connects her legacy to oppression in the modern world.

@LunaEmpath89 At high school I worked in a small supermarket, one morning I served one of my teachers just before my break. That evening I was told that he'd had a heart attack in the city at the exact same time I was serving him in town. Freaked out my friends, but I found it comforting.

Have you ever had anything paranormal happen to you? If you don't believe, please try not to comment. I'm interested in those who've had experiences! 🥰

Another video! This time I'm making a twisty sky scraper, and using a shorter video style. Enjoy the twisty goodness. : youtu.be/sx-ZzJhgHHo

@sevaris_ :) Yeah, it's the randomly exploding that's so terrifying.

@LunaEmpath89 Some of it's cultural, I think. Like, in my family, culture & generation you just didn't talk about sexual antics. It was private. Though, in my family we didn't shame others for being different. Each to their own, as far as I'm concerned.

Why are people so closeted about their sexuality? And I don't mean who you're attracted to. It seems like a lot of people, both males and females, are ashamed of their sex drive and likes and that makes me sad.

@Dewiwrites If they're de-seeded and diced, they can add a pop of colour and flavour to various types of salads...? Or you could find a foodie friend who'll take them. That's what I do with food I don't really know what to do with.

@LunaEmpath89 I am "in recovery" because I can still fall off the wagon if I lose focus and forget to do maintenance.

Do you say you are recovered or that you are in recovery from alcoholism/addiction? 💗 #RecoveryPosse

@lrphilipson He really needed to add some decent context. I have no idea what he's meaning. I mean, the act of world building is like 1/3rd of my job as a sci fi author? Is it the word itself he doesn't like? Or that sometimes the worldbuilding can get in the way of the writing? Confused.

Had a bit of a hiatus, may or may not come back, it's pretty terrible in the twitterverse right now for weirdos like myself. But here's a new video to whomever is out there interested in my Minecraft builds: youtu.be/J92wDxKHjHo
