    I use SoundCloud, but I also listen to a lot of sets rather than albums, which aren't available on most other platforms. So far I've been very satisfied with the app/website

    I don't think the game presents itself as a Minecraft killer? There was certainly comparisons and hype many years ago when it was first announced, and those comparisons are happening now as well, but Minecraft killer? Never

    I haven't looked what Minigames are on offer, if any, but I expect that if any part of Hytale will capture some Minecraft audience, it'll be that. Hypixel has a good background with those types of Minigames, and as long as they don't greed themselves into the ground, I expect success there

    The actual game itself, either as single player or multiplayer... Not really a competition. Too different feel. I fully expect people to play both games (Hytale and Minecraft) depending on what they're looking for. Hytale feels too much like an open world RPG, and the building is a bit too open. We're definitely going to see some amazing builds, but the average player will feel much better making something in Minecraft, I think. There's something about working with the constraints of Minecraft that works a lot better than too much freedom.

    All that said, I'm going to give it a whole bunch of hours to see if it has that long term magic

    Dunno about the rest of Germany, but here in Bavaria we go "Entschuldigung?" When someone is in the way, and most people also say Danke after

    Can also hunt for slime and craft the leads, I believe there are some people that have slimes and I think a slime farm was going to be created using the new oozing potion

    You can use boats and leads for villagers! The leads are much stronger now, you can pull boats uphill, just gotta go a bit slow and jump a bunch

    From what I saw in various interviews, they rushed the album a bit , and the "deluxe" version is the "real" version of it, they just didn't have all the songs ready in time.

    I wish I could see them live, but unfortunately I'm a bit too late... Perhaps towards the end of this year or next year, if there's a tour!

    Edit: at least the deluxe version isn't exclusive to any retailer, afaik. I mostly stream music, and it's on SoundCloud

    I'm not a great builder and I don't knnow how low I'll play, but I set myself the goal of building small, rather than beginning massive project that then never get done. So to start with I'm just doing small manual farms, getting my storage setup, a small iron farm, etc.

    Oh no, I just got my coffee and was hoping to play :( Is there an automatic restart? Or are we waiting on a manual fix?

    This week, and last week and the week before that, I suppose, I rediscovered Linkin Park.

    I was vaguely aware that they'd started launching new songs and that they had a new singer, but life was very chaotic and I didn't really register it.

    Then I heard a remix of The Emptiness Machine as part of a techno set, and I absolutely had to listen to the original.

    I quickly found the announcement Livestream where they first played the song live, and I had to take a break and just sit with my emotions for a while.

    I've since listened to the stream a few times, the new album and singles, recordings of the concerts from the 2025 tour, just enjoying the band again.

    That image startled me for a bit, was certain my base was within the circle until I had a better look. Turns out I'm just a bit off the screen to the right, so I guess very distant neighbours, lol

    I think most of the launchers use the same minecraft structure? but I have not used the actual official launcher for so many years that I can't say for sure. In the past it used to be possible to download a modpack in a launcher and then just copy it wherver the official launcher lived and use the official launcher to play the pack... I'm not seeing big folder changes compared to back then.

    This is where Prism installed Secret's pack, which is the QoL modpack @secret_online put together that I'm also going to use: \AppData\Roaming\PrismLauncher\instances\Tildes w- Secret's Pack\minecraft

    The folders inside the minecraft folder are the usual ones - saves, resource packs, mods, data, etc.

    I have a friend with over 1000 hours in 7dt2, and way back when Minecraft servers were at their peak, he got totally addicted. He often made comparisons between the games and he still plays both (though less, because life intrudes and other games exist).

    So based on thst, I'd say it's definitely worth it to give Minecraft a try :)
