  • Classic Mojang, I guess it’s probably in an attempt to make it easy for users to understand when a release was made.

    I was going to say it wouldn’t make much of a difference for mods given they only really have one major release a year, but I’m pretty sure they also announced that they wanted to do more small releases instead. So we’ll see I guess, main fear I have is that we’re going to end up with very weird version range constraints.

    I think I remember reading about a different process that doesn’t kill them at least, we capture them and remove barnacles from them

    In exchange we take their blue blood

    Not a trade offer I would take personally, but we get vaccines out of it so there’s that at least

    Smear campaign or not, their marketing and social media presence is aggressive and obnoxious on purpose. It seems to be purely focused on getting as many eyes on them as possible without actually considering what those eyes will think of them after getting the desired attention.

    When I think of PETA I don’t think of an organization with strong moral and ethical principles, I think of an organization that made a bunch of tone-deaf video game parodies in the 2000s to try and get attention. Those are wounds that are entirely self-inflicted.






  • It’s less the developer team that did it and more the shareholders and executive team that has turned the product to complete trash.

    It’s so dumb, even with the AI stuff I wouldn’t care that much if it was just a new thing the OS could do if the rest of the thing was actually stable. But they seem to be allergic to doing some actual house cleaning and instead keep bolting things on.

    The fact that the explorer can regularly completely freeze up nowadays or flat out crash is actually insane. That should be at the top of the priority list before anything else gets worked on. But instead they decided: let’s add a new keyboard shortcut to open a really laggy copilot chat interface.
