Sometimes in Minecraft gravity forgets to work. So when you remind it by disturbing an overhang of sand, you get a landslide as gravity tries to pretend it knew about it all along.

Did you not read my post? :(

I didn't remind gravity of anything!

After being inside working on my building a spiral staircase, I came outside to fight some monsters and discovered that at some point it has collapsed into what looks like a cavern.

I've had similar before when I was digging sand - I dug a piece which would have revealed a floating block of sand, and a whole area of it then collapsed - but I've never noticed it happening without me doing anything.

It's just being realistic. Sand's like that. <nods sagely>

Roses are bollocks, Violets are crud, I hate bloody flowers, And much prefer mud.

Probably for the best TBH. But your post on gravity had a sparkling of wit quite lacking elsewhere in this thread of late.

Apart for the wit of Pat, this is turning out to be one of the most mind-numbingly tedious threads evah. Congratulations to all of you in plumbing the depths so enthusiastically.

 

I wish you all continued fun building with virtual Lego. Although why you don't just go out, buy some real Lego, and invite your friends around for a house-building party I just don't know.

You know, there is an ignore thread option, if we're boring you so much.

I am bored shitless by threads about phones or mortgages or fridges or cars or boring films or whatever. What I do is not read them or post in them.

I don't think one thread on a PC forum about one of the most popular games of the year, in the games folder, is unreasonable.

Also, I think you're wrong. This game isn't just lego, it's infinite lego. It's pure "play" in the sense that children play. It's (again, as a child) going exploring in this not-yet-understood world. It's building a treehouse/fort/base. It's playing in sand. It's setting fire to things. All that stuff that was magical when we were kids, this game emulates that and evokes those feelings. It taps into that limitless wonder and curiosity and creativity we have as children and tend to lose as adults - reminds us what that feels like.

I suspect you'd enjoy it if you tried it. And I suspect you suspect that too.

He fears it, Drew :(

one of the biggest problems with lego is you never have enough bits
I always had more in my head than I could build with limited parts

fuck fuck fuck
in the games folder

fuck fuck fuck. I had the whole folder on ignore for this very reason. Then I noticed a couple of interesting threads when I was reading while not logged in. So I took the thread off ignore...and this is what happens! (fail)
I suspect you'd enjoy it if you tried it. And I suspect you suspect that too.

I rather suspect that I'd waste a fair amount of time, achieve little, and get thoroughly bored, TBH. Overall, I far prefer masturbation as a way of passing the time, if it must be passed.

(oh, and I'm with you on phone threads)

:D

Of course masturbation is always preferable but there's only so much you can do without getting sore.

I'd deffffinately rather spend my time doing nothing in a game than watching TV (etc.) though. At least it's an active nothing.

For some reason I really like making homes within a cliff face. I'm going to try and make my own Rocamadour.

Roses are bollocks, Violets are crud, I hate bloody flowers, And much prefer mud.

I wonder if I'm the only one who tries to scroll around images like that with my mouse (as if I were playing)

I often find myself trying to click or hover over things in LotRO screenshots.
