    Listening to my father devouring food. Smacking his lips, sucking with his tongue, slurping the meat. Breathing deeply. Those small sounds of pleasure coupled with the occasional moan of "ooo yeah". I was laughing, but not because of amusement, but because I was sensory overloaded to the point of hysteria. I wanted to run away, run through the door and into the soothing silence of coldness. But I couldn't and so I laughed the same way you laugh when someone tickles you and you don't enjoy it.

    My 7 year old singleplayer world was on 1.12 for many years and I consider that version as the standard MC experience. It is very well optimized and without the bloat of newer versions. It's a shame I updated to 1.17 and built many things there as I wish I could go back and play in 1.12.

    One of those arctic thermal sleeping bags. I'm a minimalist and my family knows I'd rather have one bag, than a bunch of duvets and blankets.

    I have a boarding pass for both the Insight and Perseverance missions. Always nice to see fellow "astronauts" in the wild.

    Render distance 4 with sodium and tweakeroo disabled particles could be just enough to make it work.

    Grass blocks spread only when the chunks are loaded. You're thinking of just grass.

    It's expected of me as a member of society to execute my duties. Go to work, care for my parents, interact with others. I am simply existing.

    Deepslate made branch mining tedious and the caves broke the rates in my farms. I left my world on 1.17.1 and will not update it.

    I think that feature is available in Tweakeroo as I've seen SciCraft members use it, but never got around to doing so myself.
