I've also built a small scale brewery with plenty of awkward potions ready to go. I'm writing up a book for instructions but basically the left 5 brewers are to create your 'level 1' potions that require awkward potions as bases. Once you've made those, you can move over to the right 5 brewers to upgrade them with either glowstone dust or redstone dust. Flip the switch on each bank up for 'brew mode' (potions automatically load and begin brewing), once the potions make the brew sound, flip the switch down to dump the completed potions into the box, then flip the switch again to start your next set of potions.

I love her one-takes, in some ways more than the studio releases. Same with Dayseeker, the vocals these artists are able to produce are just so great, I really need to get to a live show sometime!

Of course my first introduction to her was when she first hit YT with her abstract videos which were interesting but kind of something on the fringes, and I didn't pay much attention. Then she moved into music which was a good pivot, but when she started moving into metal my ears started to perk up. I really enjoy good cleans with hard breakdowns, so her style was pretty much right up my alley. Then V.A.N. and Suffocate came out - I was cemented as a fan by that point.
Very excited to listen to this album over my lunch later today. Great way to start a weekend! (...let's ignore the impending snowpocalypse 2026 looming over the U.S.)
Edit: I am shamed to forget to mention her collab with Amy and Courtney ..... that, to me, was a generational showstopper of a song. It gives me chills listening to it, which I do often. I LOVE both Evanescence and Spiritbox, so when they all collab'd, I was just enamored by that song.

Overview 1
Overview 2
Barn
StorageI still haven't decorated inside the house yet, but honestly i never go in it so I may not ever get around to it :P
Now that I'm kind of winding down on what I wanted to do with current projects, I'm thinking of things I want to work on next. I want to build something in town. I thought it would be very funny to build a massive Home Depot after being called out as a filthy capitalist by a certain someone (🥒), then thought maybe a tavern or brewery of sorts would be neat but now I'm considering matching police and fire department buildings. Not sure yet! I was originally wanting something useful but I think the industrial district is plenty useful and I don't really have anything to contribute at this point so now I'm thinking more decoratively.
Anyway, having lots of fun and my daughters are having a lot of fun checking it out every so often to see how everything is coming along.

[1] my recent favorite is "This is my word, and as such is beyond contestation" - I use it on my kids when they ask 'why' :P

I suppose I'm in the gray a bit on that one.

I grew up in a very religious home and went to a private Catholic school k-8, but began to doubt around age 8 or so[1], and fully diverged (privately) by the time I was maybe 14 or so. There were plenty of things that were deeply tied to religion that were 'normal' but I never thought this as one of them.
Just a random data point, not meant to say anyone is correct/incorrect over the subject.
[1] - my school invited a "healer" of some kind who sat in our church with my class and many of our parents and told us he was chosen by God to help pray and heal illnesses and ailments. I have a knee issue which causes discomfort among other things and have had it since around age 5 or so. I told the guy this, he said he would help me. He placed his hand on my knee, murmured something, and eventually said "do you feel the warmth of my prayers?" ... I said yes, but I knew what body heat was at that point ... He said he rid me of my issue and praise God and all that. Total whack job and I was just stunned, even at 8 years old, that my teachers and parents believed the crap this guy and others were doing and saying.
P.s. - I still have the knee issue some 30 years later. Must not have prayed hard enough, tough luck.

I have been daydreaming off and on about what I may want to put effort into this time around, I started super late last time around and didn't feel like I had much IRL time to play so I didn't really do anything other than build my house. I'll have to keep soul searching :)

They say the battery should last multiple years, so even if it were quartered, at worst it'd last 6 months before needing a charge. Hardly an inconvenience imo
Erich Schaefer, Phil Shenk, and Peter Hu have joined again after Blizzard North to work on a new-age ARPG under MoonBeast Productions. They have finally unveiled the name of their new project - Darkhaven.
All 3 of these guys worked with David Brevik and several others on Diablo 1 and 2. Erich and Peter worked on Torchlight 1 and 2 and Hellgate London. Peter also worked on Marvel Heroes Online, may it rest in peace (though there is a project to get it back online).
Being a massive Diablo 1 and 2 fan, I'm overly excited to see how this goes. It's a long, long, long way off of course, but I'll be keeping a close eye on this one. I've been addicted to Path of Exile for over 13 years now and 16k+ hours, and these guys were who inspired (and in some ways helped) Chris and his team to make it and keep it going and evolving. Now these guys getting back together is just so exciting.
Speaking of PoE - long-time PoE streamer Zizaran interviewed the MoonBeast guys a few months ago, great watch if you have some time.
