This is how I play Minecraft now. →
Throwaway account, can’t have you server admins all over me :)
I got bored playing Minecraft, building this, building that, mine mine mine for hours on end. I found a way to totally change things up. Hear me out, because this is technically griefing I guess…
The SMP server I’m playing on is a role-playing server of sorts, it has an economy and a rather large central town. In the centre of town is a large statue type structure made entirely of solid gold blocks. Passing through town one day I decided that I’m gonna pull off the greatest gold heist in the history of Minecraft (probably not the greatest, but I’m thinking large here).
So, I’ve spent the last week putting all of the pieces in place for this to go down. Some players on the server like to build things for other players in return for gold and diamonds. I am slowly building an underground army of players, and none of them know my true intentions. I’ve got one guy working the underground tunnel to my exact specifications (right underneath the booty), another guy collecting intel on the players that hang around town (to work out their patterns and where they live), and another guy who is going to run interference when it’s time to burgle town square. All are under contract and know nothing of each other or of my own goals, and they are all sworn to secrecy.
I used to build structures. Now I build underground criminal networks.
The emergent gameplay possibilities in Minecraft gives me a gigantic, rock hard erection

Laver’s Law of Fashion
James Laver was a museum curator for the Victoria and Albert Museum in London from the ‘30s through the ‘50s. He was also a fashion theorist and historian who conceived Laver’s Law — an attempt to make sense of the fashion trend lifecycle.
Here is Laver’s Law:
I agree with this, although, when I try and visualize my wardrobe, I don't like it.
Reality Bites
Troy: My parents got divorced when I was 5 years old, and I saw my father about 3 times a year after that. And when he found out that he had cancer he decided to bring me here and gives me this big pink seashell and says to me "Son, the answers are inside of this" and I'm all like "What?" and then I realize that the shell is empty there's no point to any of this it's all just a...a random lottery of meaningless tragedy in a series of near escapes...So I take pleasure in the details...a Quarter Pounder with cheese...those are good. The sky about 10 minutes before it rains...A moment when your laughter becomes a cackle and I sit back and I smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt.

fuck yeah, science fiction! - Without thinking, Kaye turned right and found...
Quote with 4 notes
Without thinking, Kaye turned right and found herself in the religious section. Most of the shelves were filled with brightly colored apocalypse novels. The E-paper holograms leaped from lurid covers as she passed: endtime, rapture, revelation, demons and dark angels. Most of the books had speaker chips that could read out the entire story. The same chips replaced jacket copy with vocal come-ons. The shelves murmured softly in a wave, like ghosts triggered by Kaye’s brief passage.— Darwin’s Children, by Greg Bear
Must find copy of this now.

Those three things-autonomy, complexity, and a connection between effort and reward-are, most people agree, the three qualities that work has to have if it is to be satisfying.Outliers
