A Couple of Thoughts about Minecraft Live 2022

Starting with "maybe I'm getting too old for gaming events" seems both cliché & ridiculous because the latter implies that I'm wise enough to not spend my time on something as pointless as writing this text. Minecraft Live 2022, everyone! Aside from a reminder about the existence of Minecraft Dungeons and some shared details on Minecraft Legends (including the gameplay in cooperative mode), the show itself... went kind of the same as the previous year.

Another highlight of creator tools for Bedrock Edition with that Blockbench segment is fine. Don't have much to say about the mob vote: I like turtles, I don't care. Good on them for using their own platforms for collecting votes, but Mojang Studios has more than enough ideas from previous years that they should focus on slowing bringing back instead. Especially with their current pace when it comes to new content for both versions of Minecraft across a whole lot of platforms. There're better ways to ensure interaction with the community.

October 2022 Update

Despite this blog getting slightly more attention than usual in the last 30 or so days, you would've assumed that things slightly got better. Obviously, they didn't. It's not a surprise that there's nothing really positive to highlight in current times, but it is still concerning. My current routine goes on and on, days & weeks blend in together. Something good might shine on the horizon every now and then, but it's so dark around here for this light be here long enough. It's kind of the same as previous months, but also not.

My copywriting workflow is as scuffed as ever with constant delays of the job itself, my written material and payment. Especially the latter, I'm still waiting for the money I really should've got by now. Although the latest work went very smooth since they gave me an easy topic for short texts. Oh yeah, I legally can't leave the country now due to family debt. Not that there was any way to do so. Or any part of the world to go to, for that matter.
