Minecraft lol

I studied cs because of it, hell I even wrote about minecraft in one of my admission essays. Something bionicles to minecraft to stem pipeline as I would call it

I also really like PGR. It's a gacha game but I met a really nice community from it

If we're talking about great story driven games, signalis and nier are always my top favorites.

So many elitists have dismissed Minecraft over the years as a 'little kids game' - missing out on a truly great game. The end poem made me tear up. Music is fantastic, I bought all of C418's music off Bandcamp.

For me, minecraft kinda shaped my childhood in a sense. I played so much of beta 1.5, and watched so many minecraft YouTubers back then. My favorites introduced me to monstercat, an edm music label which pretty much formed my music taste, and also introduced me to pc gaming (i downloaded steam because my favorite minecraft youtuber also played skyrim)

So yea minecraft is still my no 1 game. Especially considering I still occasionally have a month long session with a modpack.

Thanks for sharing that, Minecraft has really shaped so much culture.

I got dragged back in late last year playing Skyblock's latest version. It started as 'I'll just test it out', then a few months building and exploring in it passed before I wanted to play anything else.
