Earth, funny story, Technic has Thaumcraft included (Though not as multiplayer).

 

And I have recently build a house onto a cave, and renovated several parts of it.

 

Unfortunately most of the cave is now gone thanks to Mine Turtles and Quarries...with their endless stream of cobblestone going into the Anti-Matter Relay to make the EMC to be fed into the Alchemy Tablet, to make the Diamonds to build more Quarries, and the Charcoal to power them.

 

Life is good.

[Earth]

Heh. I just use Thaumcraft. Also, I found a GREAT cave. A long, easy branch for early constructs like a sugarcane farm and a Wheat farm, and two deep branches with visible crystals already. Hell yes.

[Earth]

You know, funniest thing happened. I was renovating my cave, and I was making a sign, when I realize that I had forgotten to put doors on the front entrence to my house. Soon as I think that, a creeper hisses, blows up next to me, and I just go, "Damn, I REALLY need doors." Then I make doors and now I'm fine. Creeper didn't scare me in the least, oddly enough. Just made the need for doors more.. APpparent.

'Finished' Buildcraft.

Having finished Build and Industrial Craft there are two common themes:

1) When you start there a tonne of stuff to do, made more complicated because you don't know what you are doing.

2) When you are finished you end up blowing up your house by accident.

 

It is fairly annoying when your house just goes 'Boom'. The first time was understandable (Leave a Nuclear Reactor unattended for several hours and it is bound to happen) the second time...

Get attacked, inside a well lit, well fortified, house/cave/factory, by a giant that smashes blocks as it moves. Fight it off reasonably easily because you are near the endgame. Several minutes later your house explodes were wire A was cut. So fairly annoying...

 

The same house had suffered manic lightening storms (and storms generally) throughout the game for some ungodly reason, as well as you testing several explosives which turned out to have a higher yield than you expected, several other incursions by barely explained monsters and so on...

 

I think what I will probably do is collect up some stuff and then delete the region files...Start again, but with endgame tech, while I work out how to finish Thaumcraft.

[Earth]

Thaumcraft 1? I can't help you there, broski. My knowledge is limited to Thaumcraft 2.

Hey Earth, how many of the songs can you recognize in this? It's a meme music medley made (partially?) from Windows XP base sounds.

 

I caught Hamster Dance, Rainbow Tylenol, Avast Your ***, Rock My Emotions, Intensive Care Unit, Redzone, Night of Nights, Kimono Princess, and U.N. Owen Was Her.

[Earth]

If it would load, I would tell you. It's just an error message for me.

[Resistance]

Retech, talk to me on Steam.

[Nexaduro]

DON'T DO IT RETECH

 

HE'LL LINK YOU TO KOREAN HORROR WEBCOMICS WITH EMBEDDED FLASH DOCUMENTS

[Earth]

My mother went psycho on me and deleted y entire account off her computer. I admittedly did something incredibly retarded, so I'm fine with it. Just to let you know, I can't play crossroads or anything for a while. Sorry, bros.

[Earth]

Oh, yes. I only recognized the hamster dance from that song, Nex. If you were looking for help, I'm not your guy there.

[archimage_a]

Handy.

 

I am assuming the incredibly stupid thing is also somewhat embaressing and it not just 'Lolz, ask me what I did' Facebookery.

[Earth]

Very embarrassing. It was pretty damn retarded.'please don't ask.

[archimage_a]

On an unrelated subject...after deleating the region files, setting up near a nice Japanese Village, and spending a few hours setting up my new house...critical failure and it deletes the region files...Thankfully the Alchemy bag I carry around is not effected.

Public Library computers :thumbup:

 

You're odd enough in evident ways, so people won't think you're just some weirdo. You'd probably get distracted by the books though.

[Retech]

Or smart phone

[archimage_a]

Or a fleet of carrier pigeons.

[Leiana]

How odd...I feel a mix of sadness and relief.

 

It's official now. In America (or at least along the eastern coastline at the time of this post) I am now 17.

 

Oh: 365

Earth, start saving money and buy a laptop. Say that she now has no control over your computer.

[archimage_a]

Last time he did that she snapped the laptop in half. (No, really)

 

If you ever played Singularity then I imagine it going down something like when Devlin is shot by Demichev.

 

Search:

Let's Play Singularity (Part 6/33)

 

On youtube and skip to 06:38.

 

 

The actual dialogue is clean, but the commentary is not, so yeah...

 

 

And finished Thaumcraft, though I wanted to one up my previous track record of blowing up my house (mostly because I avoided building a house) so blew up the world, and character....Huzzah.

[The_Mather1]

Then save up money, buy a midi, and say it's your computer and she has no control over it.

[archimage_a]

'Hey, Earth, get into a fight with someone who controls your housing, food, electric, water and general other utilities. Make your argument on the premise of ownership and/or the indestructiblity of your device, safe in the knowledge that she would never think of dropping the device into water/boiling oil, or just simply selling it. For less drastic action she would never think of tearing/cutting the power cable, or confiscating it, not now that you have said 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS MINESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

 

'Oh, but what you do then is threaten, or actually, phone the police. This obviously has no comeback on you, whatsoever. Further, when she is forced to buy you a new computer, and/or pay the legal fees you both incurred, that money will, in no way, come out of your food allowance. Naturally she will simply roll over in the face of the law, and every time you say 'But the law says you can't punish me' she will bend her knee and serve you piles of gold plated hot dogs, while staving herself.

 

'Of course she isn't really starving herself, because actually she has a bottomless barrel of money hidden somewhere in the house, it is only because she is incredibly meanspirited that she doesn't use that money to get you a computer. She has deserted her subserviant role as woman/mother and now you must use the law to restore her to her rightful place, or else madess shall surely follow.'

 

 

 

I am always amazed at how blindly incapable people are at recognising that reality differs from a) your own perception b) from the legal interpretation of things.

 

The most reasonable course of action would be to accept the punishment, strive not to repeat the action that lead to it - at least until you can safely (in the real world) do so without fear of punishment - and work towards extricating yourself from the clearly dependant position you are in...

As opposed to underhandedly attempting to avoid punishment whilst indulging in that behaviour, or making a declaration of war.

 

 

I am also not entirely sure how buying a keyboard/musical instrument would specifically help....Unless Midi means something other than Musical Instrument Digital Interface...

[Nexaduro]

Alternatively, call your mother a wasteful person with no sense of self control or moderation. That'll go over well.

[The_Mather1]

A midi as in a midi (medium) tower, the most common shape of stationary computer.

If it was intended as an acronym, I'd write it as MIDI, or MIDI since it's such a vague one.

[Retech]

Alternatively Earth, say that your computer was not forged in the fires of mount doom and is therefore immune from her powers, unlike the ones given to the kings of men and the dwarves.
