I started playing Minecraft last week for the first time ever. I'm 43 years old. It's fun. it's a lot of damn fun. I can just do whatever, build whatever, farm, and I don't have to interact with anyone if I don't want to. I'm having a blast with it.
For years I just dismissed it as a little kids game and at this point I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner.
This is what having to deal with insufferable yinzers for 19 years will do to a man. I've got the Rimworld saves to prove it.
I watched his first video the other day. It's so crazy seeing him so into it, I would have never guessed. Basically, he got into it because his kids were playing it and he wanted to see how a game could consume so much of their attention. Combine that with his interest in architecture and now he's got a 12 year old city. Very cool.
My mom tried minecraft to see what all the fuss was about and she loves it. Its been a great way to connect with the younger members of the family who live in other parts of the country. Its funny they all run around getting her gear and materials and trying to stop her from dying. Shes a good builder as well, made some stuff using unique patterns i've never seen in my time playing.
I can't wait to see the film about this, starring Omar Epps, in theaters 2028.
I saw this on John Oliver last night.
I love when grown ass man do stuff like this.
Very wholesome 🐢
