This page is a love letter to Minecraft. I have spent thousands of hours in this game, literal thousands, and god every single one was worth it. This is the first game I ever truly fell in love with. I remember having to share a laptop with friends and us having to take turns on our individual worlds. Twenty minutes each. Timing ourselves on an old wristwatch stop clock, anxiously being like.. haha.. hey man.. you got 5 minutes left.. ha you better head back to the house... actually for real haha, cus its getting dark soon and I am next to play so hahah.. I mean if you go over your time I am also going over.. what do you mean that's not fair?? So what you died?? You SHOULD have seen that Creeper coming!! I was calling him out the whole time!!! What do you mean I only called him out after he exploded!!? ... No FUCK YOU!!!!.. OH YEAH? WELL YOUR MOM IS A... I love that creepers are men? WHAT ARE THEY? I was 12. Or something like that. I am sure you may have a similar memory with a friend or loved one, or maybe you are just lonely, I do not know you. There is so much I could say about what this game means to me, but sometimes love is hard to put into words. Like anything, I love this game for the moments I made with others and myself. The memories, the feeling, the freedom, the atmosphere, & oh god the soundtrack!!! Notch has been in my top listened to artists for the years in which I got the best sleep of my life. I have played with friends, co-workers, a guy who worked at lockheed martin (he was chill) (built a life size replication of a propane plant in honor of Hank Hill), childhood best friends, parents of friends, parents, online peoples, exes, exes who are now my friend, siblings... I have played in worlds on laptop, pc, iphone, switch.. well I guess thats it. A lot less exciting. I just really love this game man!! I think this game is similar to the WII in the sense that it brought games to the mainstream. I would bet your Grandmother has heard of Minecraft. I am also a gambling addict! I think most people have the memory of creating this beautiful, or absurd, or massive thing, but unfortunately most people no longer have access to view it. Maybe the memory is the whole point. To look back and think, to truly think about the time spent, the friends made.... SIKE.. not for me baby.. I went in and recorded this shit so I could suckle that sweet sweet memory any time I wanted. So I could truly say whether or not that insane build I had was all that insane. Anyways, the last time I played a true real play through was the summer of 2023. I played with my brother. It was the first time we had ever really played a game together. Growing up I would watch him and my brother play video games like they were streamers, I would take it all in, but I never really got passed the sticks, which in retrospect.. what the fuck guys. It's cool though, all good memories. This though, this was the first time we ever really played a game together. Anyways enough of the melodrama. This is all to say I love my brother, I love Minecraft, and I love this world we got to spend hours and hours and hours in. Our build, which took us months, was inspired by the Air Temples from the Last Airbender.
