The past few years I've been mourning the loss of old school minecraft minigame servers. I remember playing on the Hive and Mineplex and a bunch of other servers for hours because there were so many silly unique games to play.
But in the past few years I've found that there's really not much of that anymore. The Hive shut down and is only on Bedrock now (no hate to Bedrock but I personally just prefer Java and the Bedrock hive just looks like there's a different vibe), Mineplex shut down, and I feel like the minigame market is just dominated by Hypixel. I love hypixel, I grew up on it just like the other servers I mentioned, but let's all be honest here, it's really not as fun when there's only one place to go. (Also I'm super petty because their version of hide and seek is atrociously boring and I miss the Hive's hide and seek. Or even Mineplex's version with the mobs. This is the case with a lot of other gamemodes where I feel other servers did it better unfortunately.)
I know minigames aren't in the spotlight as much anymore. With the uptick of SMP content, that seems to have taken the forefront of the server market from what I've seen. And no hate to SMPs either, I love that kind of stuff, but I really do miss the variety of minigames.
So I really have to ask here, does anyone know any minigame servers other than Hypixel for java minecraft? Stuff that's not painfully competitive (Another of my issues with hypixel), maybe some classic survival games? Hide and seek obv, party style games, TTT, basically anything with the vibe of mid 2010s minigame servers because I've been looking for ages and for the life of me I can't seem to find anything and I'm desperate.

I literally just woke up so this is the worst time to post this but ngl I have this problem where I wanna talk about it but I blank so fucking hard and fall flat on my face that I end up not talking about it anyway out of sheer embarrassment.
I'm not good at structuring my thoughts properly either because of ADHD, but here goes I guess.
I usually gotta segway into the topic if it's relevant to the conversation usually via,, friend convo, I don't know how people do deepdives of characters and whatnot I can't do that. I'm not sure why that is, this always has been a thing for me where I've got some level of understanding and my own HCs and such but they're not written or anything, so I can't express them.
To me Postal is just a silly series (minus P1 and Redux), not to be taken too seriously. So I don't really think about the "lore" that it has so much. I can ramble about Postal: Brain Damaged tho, that's probably my favourite cos of gameplay... And the designs as well as the soundtrack. It's just such a good game, I never thought shooters would ever be a genre I'd like to play, as I was so against playing them (thanks Half-Life for opening up my eyes). I can say definitely with confidence that retro styled FPS are especially something I find fun? Not on intense difficulty or anything either, I usually can't go above normal.
I've listened to "Straight Outta Suburbia" for like over an hour straight, I'm pretty sure even during while I was drawing one of my BD sketches lol
Back to Postal in general, I frankly haven't done enough "research" on it where I can properly speak about it aside from the games I've played (P1, P2, Paradise Lost and P:BD) And they're all games that are super different from each other (aside from P2 and PL, but even then). I'd also say I'm still pretty new to the series, speaking as I haven't played all of the games yet. Frankly, I was planning to just stick to P2 and that's it, glad I didn't.
Postal 1 I remember making me feel all sorts of weird things when I both played it and after I finished it. The load up intro scared the shit out of me the first time I opened the game, to where I had to pause for a minute. And it kept spooking me each time I did open it. I think that was kinda the point of the game as it's pretty dark compared to it's counterparts. I won't get into the lore of the 1st Dude cos I've seen people pluck at each other's feathers over the interpretation of him. But essentially, guy looses his shit during an episode, starts killing everyone. (Or just, "hostiles", depends how you play the game.)
P2 is so wildly different (aside from the fact that you can shoot people) that when I first opened it I was so confused how I was met with THAT Dude. I was surprised to hear him talk more beyond than just "BLEED" or "Only my weapon understands me". At the time I was also wrangling personal fears and feelings(which I don't know if I wanna get into, let alone if people would even wanna hear it lol) over playing the Postal series, so my initial expectation towards the game was:
"Okay, I know this is going to have some offensive shit in it, there's parts that won't be fun probably." And hoped for the worst, surprisingly a lot of the stuff in it I didn't find that bad, most of it is definitely fucked up, but nothing I couldn't handle, surprisingly. I played neutral-y, so I only attacked whoever attacked me, but I'd bail if I had the chance.
Paradise Lost plays similarly to Postal 2 (as it's literally the same branch of game just in the form of DLC). But I've found myself enjoying it way more than Postal 2, mostly cuz I found some of the jokes in it actually funny.
P3 I haven't played because I got rick rolled by RWS on the website so I'm not gonna play it out of spite </33 (But I've seen gameplay)
Postal: Brain Damaged is like, even more different than the previous entries as it's a retro styled shooter. But it has the charm of a Postal game and MAN is it good, I think the fact that it was released more recently is what made me enjoy its humor more. And it just!! Is so fun in general like wow, I'm still processing playing the game and I've already been thinking of replaying it because of how much I've enjoyed it. Definitely recommend trying it out.
AND WOWWW this has gotten long oops. Sorry.
I wanna note tho that, although there are aspects of Postal I enjoy, there's a lot of them that I don't, namely the offensive bits, some of them are genuinely fucked up where I can't go past them even in a comedic sense. Which I think is OK. I still enjoy other parts of it :^]

hey daisy
can i get a reading on how and when i will enter the void state if u don't mind? and which method that resonates with me the most?!
thank you 💗💋
hello my dear🌹 I won't get too deep into it (i also don't know many methods), so I'm gonna keep the reading short:
. decided/claim/affirm you're ready. decided/claim/affirm that this is the day/time for you to enter the void. affirm that everyone in the universe believes you're ready.
. feel the abundance and wholeness around you. feel being whole, abundant and fulfilled. feel that you have everything you need and more. perhaps be/sit/lay/float in water. maybe feel the sun shine in your face. feel the beauty of nature and of life. feel the beauty that surrounds you. feel whole and endless.
. don't stop. whatever you decide to do, don't stop. keep going. don't waver. just keep going and trust that you will reach your destination and that you will go further than that, to your new life. (while attempting to enter)
. don't think about the present moment while attempting. think far, think big. think about somewhere else. once you feel comfortable and at peace, you're able to let your mind freely wander. don't force anything. just let it happen TO you. and have fun because there shouldn't be any pressure :)
. timing messages: it's not the right time yet. winter. don't force things. september. just let it happen.
🚫 I DO NOT ACCEPT TAROT READING REQUESTS RIGHT NOW. 🚫

Hello! I'm sorry if this is out of the blue, but how'd you get so good at crochet? Your doily looks amazing! I can knit very simple stuff and I've been meaning to pick up crochet, but knit/crochet language for projects can be confusing lol. Also how's your day been?
ahhh i've been crocheting for like 4... and a half? years or so now ... so i think a big part of my skill is just lots of practice! back when i was starting out (learning the stitches) i would make soooo many little "test" swatches to make sure my tension is even, that all the stitches look uniform etc. ^_^ but even still whenever i do a flat project i always make the foundation chain too tight... sob
some written patterns get really confusing with all the abbreviations and whatnot :( if you're lucky sometimes there's charted patterns which might be less confusing. plus it's kindof like a visual guide to see what and how each row/ round will look instead of just. guessing
i've been meaning to get into knitting but having two needles to deal with instead of just one hook is like @_@ too much at once!! afghan/ tunisian crochet is similar to knitting i've heard but idk enough about knitting to say for sure lol
my day's been alright! i packed up some of my stuff for moving back in2 my dorm... classes start back up for me on monday + move-back-in is tomorrow. yaay 🎉
