Author Topic: Minecraft Megathread; yeah its update 1.12 big whoop what about it  (Read 5959561 times)

Ehhhh I don't know. There are many expert programmers that like making Minecraft mods in their free-time because it's adding on to a game they like to play.
That's why I said 'nearly'.

Let's assume the worst because maybe it will seem better if the worst doesn't happen.

I mean, I see where you're coming from, but to me it just seems like pessimism.

As silly as this sounds, you're looking at this pessimistically. I'm thinking logically here:

If I expect Microsoft to totally screw up Minecraft, and they do, I am prepared to either settle/adjust to what they create and make the most of it, or move on.

If I expect Microsoft to totally screw up Minecraft, and they don't, I'm pleasantly surprised! Faith restored in Microsoft, let's play.

If I expect Microsoft to totally bring Minecraft to the next level and succeed, and they do, cool. I saw it coming, I guess let's play. Whatever.

If I expect Microsoft to succeed and they don't, forget! How dare they screw this up! Aw man.

It's just a matter of putting myself in a frame of mind that is prepared to deal with Microsoft screwing up a game that means a lot to me. That's all, it's not a pessimistic or optimistic approach.

That's why I said 'nearly'.

But I still beat you to the post by four seconds so I win.

Exactly what I would explect a pessimist to say. Pessimist.


I bet that guy's cup is half full.

I bet that guy has carefully prepared himself a cup at least 80% full, and whenever he takes a sip he makes sure to do so in carefully calculated increments so he never faces the terrifying quandaries presented by a half full or even half empty cup

I bet that guy's cup is styrofoam.

I bet that guy's cup is styrofoam.

You pessimistic doucheforget. No way that's styrofoam.

Guys. I think Minecraft is going to be completely ruined.

Has anyone messaged Dropshock about this?
