Similar to how the Minecraft cave spider is slightly smaller than the average spider model, I think glow squids should have a smaller model than the normal squid
#Which makes sense too since a lot of bioluminescent squids are smaller than your traditional/more common squid#and I just think it would be a fun little detail#like the squid having a smaller size would change absolutely none of its mechanics it’s purely aesthetic#like there are so many non-functional that were originally in Minecraft#that I find it funny when Mojang tries to claim they couldn’t add something because it wasn’t practical or realistic#cough cough fireflies cough like dude you made ocelots completely obsolete when making cats a different animal#my beef with Mojang is simple: they haven’t been updating the game they have been revamping and re-branding it#nether update? no fuck no! they added a lot of new Contant but they did not improve upon any pre-existing elements#but what about the zombie Pigman weren’t they updated? no they were replaced by something inspired by them#with a zombie version to calm the crowd.#because if they’re their own species now with their own spawning structures then who the fuck do the nether fortress is belong to!?#The nether update added a lot of things that were inspired off of pre-existing things in the nether but none of them are direct improvements#for example the nether wart forest would you are unable to get nether wart from#The new soul sand valley is interesting but I wish your soul Sand actually looked like it had souls in it like the classic stuff#and I think the new sand could be improved upon if you made it look like there were hands of the souls#because I always thought you walked slowly on soul Sand because the souls were trying to drag you down with them✨#it’s funny how much Minecraft is treated like a Game for all ages because when you really look at it I think it’s actually quite dark#but take what I say with a pinch of salt because I’m just rambling and this post was originally about squids#glow squid#minecraft glow squid#bioluminescent squid#bioluminescent#Minecraft#squid#Minecraft squid#bioluminescence#caves and cliffs#minecraft nether

Dream SMP: Using Minecraft as a Vessel for a Storyline
Tumblr media
With viewers worldwide, members of a popular Minecraft server known as the Dream SMP have drawn in viewers through their original roleplay content, using Minecraft as a vessel to tell a story and have fun with each other outside of the plot line. Over the past couple of months, members have broken some of the highest viewer counts on the live streaming platform Twitch, with long time member TommyInnit having a record high live viewer count of 650,237 and other long-time Dream SMP member, Tubbo, with 332,671.
Tumblr media
THE ORIGIN OF THE SMP
The Dream SMP is a private and whitelist survival multiplayer (SMP) server in the game Minecraft created by the content creator known as Dream. The server’s beginning was streamed on Twitch April 24, 2020 and featured members of the group known as the Dream Team composed of content creators Dream, GeorgeNotFound, Sapnap, and BadBoyHalo. At the time the server originated, all members (producing content and not just friends of the cast) were at or less than 1 million subscribers on Youtube. According to Youtube, 1 million is a great milestone: “We’re honored to celebrate them when they reach Creator Award subscriber milestones,'' 1 million being one of those milestones. Its initial rise to popularity, however, began around July and August of 2020, when seventeen-year-old Minecraft livestreamer from the UK, Tommy “TommyInnit”, joined the SMP and began a series of arguments and banter with other members of the SMP. It would also ignite what is known as the Disc Saga: music discs acquired by Tommy that he and Dream would continue to fight about until January of the next year. TommyInnit didn’t just bring bickering, though, he also brought along many more members that would later become some of the most statistically large names of the SMP and the Minecraft community in general: Tubbo and Wilbur Soot. Wilbur Soot, particularly, played a critical role in the growth of the SMP.
BEGINNING OF THE STORYLINE
Originally, nobody had planned on the SMP becoming what it is today: whether that is from a high viewership perspective or how unexpected the creation of a plot line was. As far as plot, it was Wilbur “Soot” Gold that created it. He tells in an Insider interview that “I was invited into the Dream SMP near its inception but I only joined fully when I had an idea for building a country in Minecraft”. In the SMP’s infancy, Soot began creating an “illegal potion shop” that would spin off into a nation of non-American members called L’Manberg. He further tells Insider how he writes for the SMP, saying “I write up a series of plot hooks and points that should tie together, however we improv dialogue and comedy throughout to take us from point to point”. As Soot mentioned, these streams and videos that take place aren’t simply the players getting in-game achievements; the lore functions as would a television show, with some episodes holding more relevant pieces of plot and some just being the in-between pieces to help the plot develop. Another early member, Fundy, mentioned that the server went from “a casual survival game to a whole story-line filled with plots and twists,” and that “role-playing is a key feature of the Dream SMP, some parts are scripted, some parts are improv, and some parts are ‘non-canon’, where it is just counted as a standard Minecraft server”. The unique nature of the Dream SMP makes it viewable for people who may not be as invested in the lore as others. Additionally, moderator of the popular “DREAMSMP UPDATES!” account on Twitter with over 205,000 followers, NotAlex, told Insider “The Dream SMP did something really special--taking an original idea, creating new things that have never been seen on Minecraft and incorporating them with humor and characters that you can become easily attached with”. This statement is backed up by Youtube statistics: little over a year ago Dream had 1 million subscribers and currently has over 21 million Youtube subscribers, boasting over 1.8 billion views on his main channel. The numbers speak for themselves, and this is what people appear to like. In addition, there have been other SMP roleplay servers such as SMPLive or SMPEarth, but none of them have pertained to as large of a demographic as the Dream SMP has.
Tumblr media
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE PLOT?
The SMP can be mapped into two different sections: Before Tommy, which was non lore-based streaming, and After Tommy, where he started an initial piece of lore and his friend Wilbur Soot created a storyline that would play off of that. The depths of the SMP can be broken down into many different smaller sections with different character analysis and connecting different plot points to each other, however here are is the most basic ideas of the plot:
Note: This is all roleplay and none of the malicious attitudes portrayed by the characters are that of the players themselves
*Indicate ongoing pieces of plot
1.Disc Saga: Tommy obtains music discs that become his prized possessions. Dream picks on Tommy and tries to steal them so he can have power over him. Tommy recruits his friend Tubbo to help him retrieve them. Ultimately, the Disc Saga ends January 2021 after Tommy and Tubbo retrieve them and send Dream to prison.
Tumblr media
2. L’Manberg War: TommyInnit and Wilbur Soot create a new country entitled L’Manberg in hopes to create something “better” than the world of the basic Dream SMP. Upset with this, Dream declares war on the few members of L’Manberg against his own forces. L’Manberg seems to be winning and their ally, Eret, brings them to a final control room where it seems as if they were to get powerful gear to fight against Dream. However, Eret instead reveals to be a traitor and all members of L’Manberg lose one of their three lives. Here, the infamous phrase of the SMP is coined by Eret: “It was never meant to be'' and L’Manberg is blown up for the first time. It is also here where Dream and Tommy have a duel to decide the fate of L’Manberg’s independence. Dream wins, however Tommy gives his discs to Dream in order to give L’Manberg independence.
Tumblr media
3. L’Manberg Election and Electoral Fallout: Wilbur Soot and Tommy run as President and Vice President of L’Manberg under the name POG2020 in order to show their citizens that it functions like a democracy. They have two main opposing sides: SWAG 2020, Quackity and GeorgeNotFound, and SCHLATT 2020, JSchlatt, who pool their votes together. The creators of L’Manberg, POG 2020, won the majority of votes, but because SWAG and SCHLATT pooled their votes, SWAG/SCHLATT 2020 won the election. As the new president of L’Manberg, Schlatt revokes the citizenship of Wilbur Soot and Tommy and they are forced into exile where they begin to work with long time Minecraft player Technoblade in an underground commune known as “Pogtopia''.
Tumblr media
4. Manberg/Pogtopia War: Schlatt renames L’Manberg to “Manberg'' and it begins to function similarly to a dictatorship. Wilbur is driven to insanity as he cannot stand his beloved country falling into the hands of someone else. Throughout this time period, many members of Manberg escape to join forces with Pogtopia. In a final Pogtopia conflict, the forces of Manberg and Pogtopia clash and Pogtopia takes the victory. They reclaim the land and Tubbo becomes the President. Everything seems to be going fine, however, Wilbur leaves the celebration and enters a small secret room that is presumably connected to 736 pieces of TNT under L’Manberg. Just as Wilbur is about to turn his back on his allies, his father finds him and asks “what are you doing”. Wilbur explains “the thing that I built this nation for doesn’t exist anymore... it’s over”. He repeats the infamous saying that happened before L’Manberg was blown up once before and reveals himself to be the traitor of his own nation: “It was never meant to be”. Destruction occurs and Wilbur forces his father to kill him. This is Wilbur’s last death.
Tumblr media
5. Exile Conflict: After the war, citizens begin repairing the damages of the nation. Meanwhile, Tommy and, at the time, new member Ranboo set GeorgeNotFound’s house to flames. Tommy takes the fall for this as Dream pressures for Tubbo to exile Tommy, his best friend, as punishment. Ultimately it is decided that Tommy will be exiled, alone. Dream visits Tommy a lot during exile to manipulate him into thinking they were friends. Later, Dream blows up Tommy's exile home and Tommy runs away to live with Technoblade and tries to restore the allyship they once had. They stick together until Tommy and Tubbo forgive each other and Tommy leaves Techno. Tubbo accepts Tommy back into L’Manberg and at this point, Dream has both of Tommy’s prized discs.
Tumblr media
6. End of the Disc Saga: Dream leaves Tommy a compass and tells him that only he and Tubbo are allowed to meet him where the compass leads, otherwise the discs will be gone forever. They meet up and Dream brings them to his lair where he shows his plans to collect prized possessions from every member of the SMP so he has control over them. Dream threatens that Tommy can choose between the discs or Tubbo’s last canon life. Tubbo tells Tommy to choose the discs as he says that Dream “described me as a pawn, and this is checkmate”. However, Punz, a merchant that Tommy paid in hopes to make amends, arrived with the rest of the SMP to Dream’s lair. They all discover the truth about how Dream wants to have blackmail on them all. Tommy takes 2 of Dream’s canon lives, all of his belongings, and sends him to an inescapable prison. Tommy secures the discs and the disc saga ends as Tommy and Tubbo listen to the discs at their favorite location.
7. Prison Arc*: Tommy has visited Dream in prison several times, but went to say goodbye to Dream for the last time before starting a new chapter in his life. However, while Tommy is inside, TNT goes off somewhere around the prison and it is forced into lockdown. Based on a contract Tommy signed, he had to stay in the prison until the guard figures out what happened. While they were trapped, Dream taunts him in a playful manner, but Tommy is still shaken about it as the prison reminds him of several traumatic moments that happened in his past (the L’Manberg final control room and exile). Tommy is told of a resurrection book that Dream supposedly has. Tommy is skeptical and lashes out on Dream questioning him on why Tommy should believe. Dream beats Tommy’s body and Tommy dies. His closest colleagues are told of his death and many blame themselves. Days later, Tommy is resurrected from Dream in the prison, however, nobody knows that he got resurrected. Dream and Tommy discover that 1 day on the SMP is 1 month in the afterlife, meaning Wilbur has been in the afterlife for 9 years also meaning that Wilbur is the most informed person on the SMP. Dream plots to bring Wilbur back to life as he thinks that he will get Wilbur to break him out of prison.
Tumblr media
8. Blood Vines*: Mysterious red vines have covered the SMP and emerge from what they call the “Egg”. Member known as BadBoyHalo becomes closest with the vines as he can hear them talking to him. He tells many people that “the egg demands blood” and tries to get members to join the Egg’s side, yet many refuse.
Tumblr media
WHERE IT IS HEADED
It doesn’t seem like any of the fans are going anywhere, especially considering SMP members continuously reach the top spots on Youtube’s trending page. The Minecraft community in general has begun to flourish during the COVID-19 quarantine, as it has brought back older players that need something to do while stuck inside as well as the new generation of kids consuming this type of entertainment. It is safe to say that the Dream SMP storyline will continue to captivate viewers through its original use of Minecraft at least until the plot ultimately ends.

Brain Drain
Ah yes, here we go. The very first Brain Drain. According to Julia Cameron I have to fill up roughly three pages or 1500 words in order to meet my daily requirement. I suppose I will simply just start typing, in fact, I refuse to even look at the screen - instead opting to gaze intently down at my keyboard. I have to say this feels a little unnatural. How many words is that? Ah, 74. Oh dear.
It should be said I'm still unsure as to the format I want this to take. The Artist's Way suggestion is as a stream of consciousness, which is what I'm doing now, but I am also considering doing a sort of blend between that method with academic writing. Ie: doing blocks of the Brain Drain at different times of day alongside my usual work and then taking the time to cite, reference, format, and edit my ideas. It's slightly counter to the original purpose of the Morning Pages but I may actually get more benefit from it this way as it will allow me to understand and explore my ideas in greater detail. Plus, what are these things for if not to be innovated upon?
The Morning Pages, or 'Brain Drain', are typically supposed to be done in a solid block before any other of the days' work. Instead, I may ensure the three pages/1500 words are done and published before I go to bed. However, I don't mind doing a stream of consciousness today just to get the ball rolling.
I guess the point of the Brain Drain is to get all of my cluttered thoughts out of my head and get in touch with the 'me' that is decidedly more creative, and absolutely less critical. I suppose taking the pulse or 'measure' of my day would be a good place to start? Today I feel a little listless. I still feel as though I have a lot that I need to do to get this journal up and running, and that this is halting me from moving on to anything else.
I'm essentially starting this journal because I've been doing so many things in the last couple of weeks that it has become impossible to keep track of it all, generating this sort of anxiety of a future wherein I'll have to look back on everything I've done for some university project but the steps of how I got there will be lost. Now that I have a format in which to record my work I feel the pressure to go back and document everything that I've been doing.
Should I do that, or should I just press forward and allow my work to naturally sort itself out as I'm doing it? I'm leaning toward the latter.
It's decided then, I will continue onward as though my imaginary journal audience has been listening in the entire time.
Next steps then. I suppose I should focus my energies on learning Unreal Engine from the ground up. I want to become proficient in that program in order to move my art-style and experiences into a realtime format that can then be explored and made via the burgeoning medium of virtual reality. I need some 'case study' examples of the work that I want to produce and learning Unreal as an artistic tool is my current obstacle to doing this. In which case, I will need to locate a good, artist's-oriented course on the subject.
I suppose I have three general concepts I'm pursuing at the moment. The first is this journalling documentation system that will eventually become an app, the second is an AI-driven 'personal butler' life management system that I've drafted up as a companion app for 'journlr', and the third is the creation of a new workflow for myself for VR worldbuilding. The first two were born out of me needing those exact services for my work but being unable to find any out there (so why not just make them myself! hah). I plan on going into detail on them another time. The third is my immediate focus and something I will go into more detail here.
Workflow is important. I am a very 'systems & procedure' oriented artist. The work itself, final output, tweaking, and set-dressing are far less important to me than how I set up my work environment in the first place. For music, I have created an environment, pipeline, toolset, and framework to work within that are my asset libraries, procedural sound generation/processing tools, procedural AI writing & editing tools, and arrangement techniques. These create an initial working bed for me to then operate within as a songwriter, producer, artist, and sound engineer.
However, I don't yet have such workflows for visual art. The good news is that I do have one in mind.
Video games, though decidedly an art form, are only recently starting to seem less strange within the academic 'art world'. For me, they are exceedingly important. I am not particularly a 'gamer' and I prefer to spend my time playing in creativity, however, being a child of the early 2000s video games can't help but form an intrinsic part of my life and artistic DNA. For my younger self, this was truest of 'Sandbox Games'.
Animesh Jha, MA Video Game Development & Visual Effects at Simon Fraser university defines a Sandbox Game as: "an unrestricted or exploration-based environment in which the player gets to create his version of fun", of which the popular block-building game 'Minecraft' is probably the most titular example. He also goes on to refer to it by the term "Emergent Gameplay" which is the notion of content discovered by the users that weren't explicitly planned or determined by the system's creators. (1)
The idea and potential of Emergent Gameplay as an art medium excites me. It is my inner child-creative's dream that all my creative practices eventually resemble 'emergent gameplay'. What could be more fun? The work for me then as an artist is in setting up these creative systems. In essence, I'm looking to build a virtual playground or 'sandbox' for myself that I can then create works within.
In order to talk about my plans for this methodology, I must first talk about one of the pieces of software that most inspired it, as well as one of the artists who have used it to its fullest potential. The little-publicized, niche, but much-loved, literal-definition-of-a sandbox game 'Garry's Mod' and one of it's most prominent creatives: Michael 'Vioxtar' Efraim.
Garry's Mod (or GMod for short) is a game produced by developer Garry Newman as a third-party modification for Valve's Source game engine in 2004 published by Valve themselves. The game functions on the premise of the ability to essentially spawn game assets (characters, props, settings, buildings, and miscellaneous) from Valve's revolutionary, narrative-driven game Half-Life (a game I will be talking more about at some point as it represents a singular, life-changing source of inspiration for me in terms of art direction & word building) and being able to manipulate those objects in a physics-driven, 3D environment. (2)
What the players were to then do with it was up to them. Michael Efraim is one such player, working with hundreds to thousands of Half-Life 2 game assets in order to build complex and expressive 3D imagery in an art practice he calls 'scenebuilding' with a pointed focus on the meta worldbuilding of stories that take place within his own art program. (3)
"Over time I began gravitating towards building my own universe within the realm of Garry’s Mod: a reimagination of the Garry’s Mod Sandbox gamemode. I started asking myself questions: 'What would it be like if there was a world out there populated by players with working Physguns, Gravguns, and Toolguns, and the ability to spawn whatever they pleased?'" - Michael Efraim on worldbuilding. (3)
Another concept I have gravitated towards recently is kitbashing, the act of taking pre-existing modelbuilding kits and combining them into something new, a classic example of which was the use of kitbashing to do essentially all of the prop, architecture, and vehicle designs within the original Star Wars trilogy. (4)
In lieu of this, for my own virtual playground, I'm eventually looking to put together an asset library of props, characters, buildings, furnishings, flora, fauna, and procedural texturing systems for Unreal Engine alongside a virtual reality toolset that will allow me to play around with these components and create my artwork from within the virtual space, creating not just art but a brand new art framework that encourages art as an emergent gameplay environment.
For the time being however, I will be focusing on learning the base toolset, developing a traditional non-vr workflow, and building out a tentative asset library with the aim of recreating the piece 'Out of Map Bounds' by Michael Efraim as my first test, benchmark, and case-study for this approach.
Tumblr media
^ Out of Bounds, by Michael Efraim Eventually, it is my hope that I will be able to use these frameworks as a basis for incorporating my own 'whnvr' abstract, constructivist art style into these worlds along with my music, and then to be able to create everything from directly within virtual reality.

Although simulation activities have been known for ages, Farming Simulator kicked off the farming genre. Other farming games be, yet nothing competes with this iconic series. FS17 brings mod foundation and fresh attributes to Xbox One also MACHINE, but is that enough to substantiate passing over the money?
The Farming Simulator series created with Farming Simulator 2013. Since then, sequels have happened every a couple seasons for LAPTOP and console. Farming Simulator 16 was a harbor of 15 for mobile and PlayStation Vita.
Everybody understands this is a simulation activity in which people desire tractors and other farming machinery, grow plants and stock, and handle the fiscal aspects of a farm. So let's look at most of this time new functions and how much they improve the game.
Tumblr media
In the two included maps, Goldcrest Area is mark new and set in the USA. The other map, Sosnovka, develops with Asian Europe. Originally published as downloadable articles for Farming Simulator 15, it has been remastered with greater idea quality. Farming Simulator games always launch with no more than two places, which is a bit skimpy.
For the first time in the chain, we can want to participate because also a man or female farmer. This will make the game more compelling to new audiences. It's definitely a step up the right way. However, the game still gets place for further variety.
The two characters you can choose from, one per gender, are both white. You can't change their skin color, but you could pick out the color of the shirts. Giants Software is situated in Switzerland, a mostly white voters. In games like this, targeting a global audience, developers must think players of new races as well as their own.
The overall goal in Farming Simulator has always been to buy all the takes on the place and spread the farm as large as possible. That stage in '17, but the developers added a hail dose of form using the new assignment system.
Each buyable scenario of earth is owned by a player who offers to pay people for finishing missions. These missions become an excellent way to make money. After you've completed all of a farmer's missions, he'll push the topic designed for a much worse cost than if you'd wanted to get this outright.
Tumblr media
Drivable trains add a fun another factor for the sport. Players have several files on all place. You don't have to get them before pay maintenance costs, and you can jump directly in them by wherever on the map.
Cruising in now trains and having the landscape is enjoyable on its, but they're also a great way to transport materials with wood for sale. You use a claw-game like crane to weight stuff onto the exercise and then head to the adjoining selling point.
Farming Simulator 15 was not the interesting up for. The worst offender became its surface maps. Comparing ground textures between '15 and '17 on Xbox One, I detect a little increase with attribute. The textures in '17 live precisely below standards to the console, which is a real shame. Still, '17 does apparently have strengthened mip mapping, so textures retain detail at the higher space than now '15. Foliage is slightly more described, and pale has found better too.
As for sound, Giants has increased two in-game radio sections to participants can toggle while making autos (and optionally, by base also). The harmony is nothing special, but it presents for a more varied experience than listening to the measure of character for hours on end.
Mod leg was pushed as a key characteristic of Farming Simulator 2017 ahead of the release, particularly during the period to mods for the PlayStation 4 variation of Fallout 4 were looking rocky. Now that the game is here, the nonsense appears to include lived for naught – at least by consoles.
Mods are registered specifically for the right screen menu, so they're easy to recover. The store lists several different classifications of downloadable items, and some extra categories like Latest and Most Downloaded. Trouble exists, among those categories, the Xbox One account just say 31 total mods at here.
All but one of those mods are easily farming tools not significantly different from those involved with the game anyway, though several seem to suggest enhanced thing. The solitary non-equipment mod changes gameplay somewhat by disabling camera difficulty with cars. Its author is Big Software. The Places category doesn't need a single point yet.
Tumblr media
Like Farming Simulator 15, '17 supports 6-player online co-op. Players can pick who can write their game – random players, friends, or call only. After an individual wants to join the game, you'll receive a prompt asking whether to allow them to participate or not. Nobody will be messing around with your farm and funds without authorization, that is fine.
The ability to join competition is unnecessarily complicated by the game's holding of downloadable content (DLC). Should the host include any DLC or mods enabled, participants may just be able to join the game if they own the same DLC. You end up having to turn DLC down (the option thankfully presented every time you worry a bar game) in order to play multiplayer, only therefore that many people may reach.
A greater implementation would increase the data for all DLC to all players, even if they don't acknowledge that. And then they could contact the host's cars in multiplayer, but not on their own. Alternately, the game may prompt you to download any missing DLC about entering the game. As it happens, you can't even tell that content you're missing - you only get rejected.
Upon successfully joining a multiplayer game, everyone shares the same vehicles, wealth, with reserves which go on the crowd. You can leave working together as a group. This is fun in the relaxing, social way. But as with other areas with the competition, complex numbers with decisions threaten to ruin the fun.
For instance, player character standards have laughably bad life. When you start, that appears to help additional players like you basically moved up to the fresh air then defeat over. The perfect doesn't need a flying animation. Going with tracking looks awkward as well.
Another great trouble with multiplayer is Achievements. Persons that sign up for the host's game may earn Achievements, which is bad, but not entirely unusual. About sports only allow the first player to have them. Yet '17 goes a move farther by not even letting the host participant to earn Achievements in multiplayer. You can load up the exact same place from your single person game, although if perhaps another player reaches in, you won't be able to earn Achievements.
youtube
Games like this really need Achievements to provide targets and organize to persons, so arbitrarily not being able to make them when using friends is thoroughly unproductive. I talk with the developers about the question at E3 shortly after Farming Simulator 15 came out, but however, they preferred not to address the issue in this sequel. I wonder when the public responsible of '17 play many other games.
Farming Simulator 17 offers 17 Achievements / Trophies happening the entire systems, a move down through the 26 Successes in Farming Simulator 15. I suppose they care for the Achievement count to match the year with the activity. Some are easy, like as lower down 50 woods or gain a 3-point killed in the new (but bad) basketball minigame.
This year, players just should earn one million currency rather than ten million. You can apply our Easy Money Trick to make a cinch, as well as knock not on the 'play for ten hours' Achievement. There is once over an Success for locating 100 collectibles, and you only must realize 10 before the rest show up on the road. The rest involve breeding animals, harvesting 10 hectares of ground, and finishing all jobs for the NPC farmers. Stay tuned for our full Achievement Leader with ideas for all of these.
FS17, like '15 otherwise this, is a major blow upon COMPUTER. We can safely put on a fair console audience as well. That may well seem funny to action-addicted gamers, but a match with certainly no violence may always be fun. It's a Farming Simulator Series farmsimulator.eu calm experience somewhat akin to playing Minecraft in Creative mode.
We know that sequence is a load of income. I merely wish more of these money might be met for the display. There's absolutely no cause Farming Simulator 17 must come across so dangerous because it sort out. The physics are certainly terrible in many places. And a lot of clunky gameplay factors such as hitching trailers could certainly become developed, only when the designers studied other games.
Seriously, I hope they'd spend some good hours about Minecraft then deliver some of the belief to live ultimately rank in other activities over to Farming Simulator. One must deal with a lot of rough edges to enjoy FS17. But if you can do that, that absolutely offers a deep farming event and lots of realistic licensed machinery.

Here, let me take a break from ranting about cults to talk about something nice and uncontroversial (ha): homeschooling.
And by “talk about homeschooling,” I mean “copy/paste a comment from Ozy’s blog, because it got sufficiently long to be maybe worth sharing on my own.”
I was homeschooled much like this! And so have Many Thoughts. Apologies for the absurdly long comment.
(Well, my parents would never describe themselves as “unschoolers” in a million years — they’d say “classical/eclectic” if asked — but “classic homeschoolers who pay serious attention to the child’s interests” and “unschoolers who pay serious attention to the three R’s” probably converge at some point.)
I had a very very positive experience with homeschooling overall (and am happy to expound on it at length; my parents are very Into educational theory, and included me in the discussions as I got older).
(Braggy data on success thereof, which I blush to include, but: I ended up graduating at 16, attending a college in the top 20 in my field, and recently getting accepted to a good grad school with tuition waiver, TA position, and fellowship. On the non-math side, I double-majored in honors liberal arts, and was nationally competitive in fencing in high school. My 13-year-old sister is auditing her first college class (discrete math), regularly runs local 5- and 10Ks and places top in her age group, and wants to be a surgeon. The 10-year-old is on Suzuki book 3 for cello, and one of the top students in the local string project. All of us were reading at two, reading chapter books at three, and won various impressive things in lots of math competitions as well as the private-school-equivalent-of-UIL.)
So from that experience, some thoughts:
(1) The sleep thing is so so so true. Easily the #1 thing my non-homeschooled friends were jealous of. (#2 was not having to take the state’s standardized tests.) Possibly this is outdated science, but my understanding is that teenagers are actually just biologically wired to go to bed later and sleep in later than adults.
(2) Exercise, yes! Homeschooling and exercise and free-range kids all fit very nicely together. I did lots of biking and swimming and hiking and roller-blading and just running about wildly; it definitely contributed that by the time I was in double digits I was allowed to ride my bike anywhere within about a ten-block radius (the boundaries were defined by the nearest streets busy enough to be dangerous), so I got lots of exercise just getting around.
(3) Something of a follow-up on that last: if your kids are going to be running around unsupervised outdoors during school hours, you should probably make sure you’re clear on the local homeschooling laws, and then coach them on how to talk to a policeman. My parents did that for me, which was good, because it did in fact happen a few times that a policeman stopped me and asked some very pointed questions about whether I was playing hooky.
My instructions were: be polite; say “yes, officer, no, officer”; explain that I was homeschooled, and it was my recess [we didn’t have anything that formal, but easier to say that than explain your entire homeschooling philosophy]; if they insisted on taking me to the station, comply and then ask for my parents until they were provided.
The last stage of that never in fact came into play; the policemen always went “oh, okay. My sister homeschools! Do you like it?” and let me go (once with instructions to go get a better lock for my bike).
(4) I absolutely approve of homeschooling as “hey, let’s test out our kooky educational theories!” That’s exactly what my parents did. (My dad’s pet theory is that algebra should be introduced alongside arithmetic, and slopes alongside fractions. All three of us turned out super-math-y. Just saying…)
(5) One of the best things about homeschooling is a 1:1 (or close to it, if you have multiple kids) student:teacher ratio. Take full advantage of this.
(6) Yes, the math thing! A depressing number of homeschooled kids end up with poor math skills. It doesn’t help that it’s usually the mom homeschooling, and women seem to have even more of a tendency to go “oh, I can’t do math, it’s scary” than men. (Not claiming that women are inherently worse at math or anything; this seems to be pretty clearly a response to cultural pressure.)
Hiring grad students is a good idea; they’re interested in the subject, have some teaching experience, are usually lonely for their own families/younger siblings, and will work for dirt cheap. My family did a lot of that for me.
Beware of Khan Academy and various other “teach your kid math for you” services; these tend to prey on this phenomenon. Parents will pay ridiculous amounts of money for canned math curricula, because they’re so nervous about their own abilities; and while I know a lot of public-schooled people who used Khan Academy on their own after school and liked it, it really doesn’t substitute for an actual math teacher, especially for kids who aren’t inherently super-math-gifted. If you want a math curriculum, consider looking into Art of Problem Solving.
(7) A common unschooling failure method is: the kid spends twelve hours a day playing minecraft, the parent decides this is Probably Educational He’s Learning About Architecture Or Something, at eighteen he still can’t read or multiply. (My parents tend to refer to this as “nonschooling.”)
Making the three R’s less optional will probably help with that. Also, it seems like there’s something to be said for helping kids do things that they first-level don’t want to do but second-level do want to do. Plenty of adults use things like leechblock, or accountability to a friend, to serve the same function; a kid can’t reasonably be expected to have mastered using those tools, so a parent reminding them to turn off the computer and go work on their exhaustively detailed pyramid replica they love seems like a good thing.
C. S. Lewis actually brings something like this up in the Screwtape Letters (as part of an analogy for spiritual growth, but whatever). He points out that reading children’s versions of Greek myths is fun, and learning the first handful of Greek words is fun; and that being able to read Hesiod in the original is also fun; but in between, there’s a lot of drudgery with memorizing paradigms and struggling through translations. Even a kid who’s really passionate about Greek may need to be nagged a bit on a day-to-day basis to go review their verb tenses; it seems hard on a twelve-year-old to require them to have the intrinsic motivation to do that without any authority figure nudging them.
In my family, what this looked like on the day-to-day level was: my parents would tell me things like “no, go do your translations before you play” or “don’t forget you need to spend 30 minutes working on chemistry at some point this evening.” (Not very unschool-y, I admit.) But they’d be flexible about it, if I’d gotten really into researching the mathematics of swarming behavior or something.
And if some subject was consistently a cause of misery for me — not just “ugh, organic compounds, whyyy” but genuine “I hate this, it’s boring, I don’t want to do it,” every time over a period of days or weeks — they’d discuss with me whether I genuinely wanted to quit the subject. (It was really really clear that this was actually an option, and I wouldn’t be in trouble for choosing it or anything, which was crucial.)
I nearly always, given some space to think about it, decided that I wanted to keep working on the subject. Sometimes we’d decide to put it on the back burner for a while and come back to it next semester, or to skip to a different part of the subject and come back to that one another time, or try a different textbook, or find a tutor. Occasionally I did decide I was done with the subject, and they respected that.
I think this worked out really well. The only two subjects I can think of that I decided to totally quit were piano and Latin, and in retrospect both were absolutely the right call. Piano I quit after a year, and I recall absolutely none of it; I’m profoundly unmusical and was a disaster at it and hated it, and don’t wish in the least that I’d kept trying. Latin I quit after eight years and an audited university class; my parents and I had a serious discussion, and agreed that while I was glad to have studied Latin I wasn’t interested in pursuing it at a higher level, and that “took a class on the Aeneid in Latin” would be a good milestone for having mastered it to a casual-reading-of-Latin-texts level, and so I did that and then quit. I’m a little rusty, now, but given a dictionary and grammar can still read Latin texts fairly comfortably.
(8) I think you’re overestimating the difficulty of learning a foreign language. I had a friend growing up who was German/English bilingual, as was his mother; my mom tutored him in literature in exchange for his mother spending an hour or so a week talking with me in German. Afterwards my friend and I would hang out, and were encouraged to talk in German.
In addition, I did Rosetta Stone (pricey but effective, immersion-based) and later the Foreign Service Insitute’s course (free online if you can find it, or cheap to buy; immersion-based; meant for diplomats who are told ‘okay, you’re going to Germany in a month, be ready.’) (I also did another online course at one point, but it wasn’t very good.)
By the time I graduated high school, I was able to (with reference to a dictionary) read genuine literature in German; Goethe and Rilke were my favorites. My accent was apparently very good; I was asked more than once if my parents were native speakers (e.g. by the instructor in the not-so-good online course). I got a 4 on the German language AP test, which exempted me from all foreign language requirements in college (which I’m very grateful for; college language classes are super-intensive).
And — in some sense, the most important — when I spent a semester abroad, I was comfortably able to get around Vienna for a week or so speaking to people in German. (It helped in Hungary, too; Hungarian is hard and I learned very little, but nearly everyone spoke either English or German.)
I think key elements in that were: I started early (I was seven when I met my friend); I spent a good amount of time with a native speaker; and everything I did was immersion-based. The not-so-good course I took wasn’t mostly immersion-based, and I actually found that very frustrating, because I had to keep switching languages in my head; eventually I convinced the teacher to just talk to me in German all the time, which everyone else found very impressive but made it much easier for me.
(9) What you’ve said about the social issues all sounds right. I think the value of just escaping the social pressures of middle school isn’t to be underestimated; I know a surprising number of people whose parents homeschooled them /just for middle school/.
I got to spend my early teens dressing however I felt like (frequently ridiculously), wearing no makeup, hanging out with boys as friends, and not being at all self-conscious about any of it. My friends in public school were constantly worried about their appearance and their weight — and I don’t mean this as “I was a better person than them” or anything like that, I mean that other girls made nasty remarks to them constantly, and I escaped that. I’m very glad to see my sisters getting the same benefit.
(10) Also: bullying. Or, rather, not. The vast majority of my friends who were in public school were bullied, at least at some point; many of them still deal with ongoing trauma from that.
I encountered bullies — twice, total. The first time was in elementary school, in a homeschool group, and my mom promptly picked up on it and got the bully kicked out — she was able to both notice and do something about it, neither of which parents of kids in school can usually do. The second time was in middle school, in my fencing club; I took it to the instructor promptly, because I had spent my whole life with authority figures who listened to me and trusted me and acted productively on that. She had a very stern talk with the much older teenager in question, and he left me alone from then on.
Honestly, I’m pretty sure the bullying issue alone justifies homeschooling.

Runecraft [SMP] {Darkworlds} {Towny} {Nation Building} {Softcore Medieval Roleplay} {PVP} {Survival} {Economy} {1.13.2}
Hey! We have just finished creating a brand new minecraft server that changes how you play the game. It's a towny server with softcore rpg elements and a major twist. This is modded with optifine but we didn't feel it was appropriate to tag it as a modded server.
For a detailed description, head to our website https://runecraft.neocities.org/ to check it out. To apply read the website tabs from left to right. Here is the homepage of the website and rules for preview. These are on the website so you might as well go there and skip the rest of this post. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is Runecraft?
Runecraft is a minecraft server which is known for it's gamemode "Darkworlds survival" or simply darkworlds. This website and guide assumes you know how vanilla minecraft functions. If you don't know how minecraft functions you should check out a wiki. Runecraft is the original creator of the darkworlds gamemode. Runecraft is a pre-modern, medieval style (towny) nation building survival server with a softcore rpg element which ensures that players do not build ugly things which are out of place such as pixel art.
Discord: https://discord.gg/wwUcwdd
The IP can be requested in the apply section by simply saying "ip?", as we are still in alpha. Server status can be seen on discord "server-messages" page, and note that ip can change sometimes.
What's Darkworlds?
Darkworlds is a new way of playing survival minecraft. It consists of multiple dimensions, the main ones being The Light World, and The Dark World.
Light World
The light world is the world where the sun rises and sets, but materials like ores, coal and obsidian, sand, can not be mined. If you try to mine them, they will break but not drop an item. Monsters and animals also do not drop any loot or exp when killed.
Nature must be preserved here, buildings must be very well crafted, and other resource collecting which changes the natural landscape is prohibited. You may protect your blocks and items in the lightworld with the towny town system. You may create a town/settlement or join one.
PvP is global on the light world, so do not let your guard down. You may create pvp free zones using towny. More info on towny in the guide section.
Dark World
The dark world is the place where it is always night. You can access the dark world via various dark world portals from the light world. The monsters here are abundant and more dangerous. You may mine ores here in this dangerous dimension, and monsters will drop items and exp.The dark world is reset every month (will be every week with more players).
The dark world does not have as many regulations as the light world, and things such as TnT and fire spread are allowed.
-- Rules:Runecraft Terminology:
mcn/mcname: Minecraft username
cname or rcn/RCN: Runecraft/character name (This is what your name will appear as in runecraft. Chosen in the application.)
Rune Crystal/Rune: Diamond
Iron Bar: Iron Ingot
Gold Bar: Gold Ingot
This is a softcore RPG style server, which means we try to create realism in our fantasy world. For example, if one were to fly there would have to be a reason such as a broomstick or a magic potion. The setting is a pre modern non-technological world where nature is valued.
Rules
GOLDEN RULE: \*USE COMMON SENSE\** If you doubt you are doing the right thing - ask a moderator or admin! Not knowing the rules is not an acceptable excuse.
All rule-breaking is prone to ban, or punishment.
You are responsible for your own account. Any action taken or rules broken on it are your responsibility. No other player may have access to it.
Server wide rules:
No Cheating, Client Modifications, and Exploiting Bugs
No Spawn killing / TP Killing
No Causing lag on purpose
No Alternate Accounts
No Spam
No Advertising, posting links.
No mods or client hacks allowed. Ask staff if your mod is allowed.
Glitches and exploits must be privately reported to an admin. Revealing or abusing them will provoke a harsh ban.
You are always "in-character" in the game. Non-game related discussion can be held elsewhere such as the discord channel.
Speak english
Build rules
Everything you build must conform to our roleplay world and lore. We penalize for any ugly, unrealistic, or physics-defying builds, and will destroy them.
No obnoxious constructions such as..
Pixel art
Structures that aren't architecturally sound - such as really tall single block towers
Very tall structures
Do not build overly modern or non-medieval builds.
Do not build a box-structure or something equally uncreative
You cannot construct "Instant" Death Traps. Death traps are not allowed in any way shape or form
No giant holes or walls to block paths.
No blocking routes to dark / light portals. All portals must have at least 1 path leading to the portal without obstruction or death. Players caught abusing this will be banned.
Extensive usage of buttons on a settlement/castle is not allowed. Only a layer of buttons may be placed at the base of each wall, representing spikes or for decoration/redstone usage only.
Light world: Do not unnecessary break blocks or mess with nature
If you need to collect a lot of dirt, or sand, do it in the dark world.
If you cut down a tree, replant at least one. 99% of the time this will be easy since saplings are automatically replanted.
Do not leave wood or leaves floating in the sky from tree cutting
Do not Grief builds or landscape in the light world. You may steal, but do not grief and destroy things just for fun. Use common sense. People without common sense will be banned. For example: If you see someone has built a nice dock by a lake, do not destroy it without admin permission. If you see some random blocks of sponge in the middle of a forest, you may destroy it if you like.
Do not destroy other people's builds, you may create a small entry if necessary however. If you find something ugly, report it on discord in the support section
Dark world: Rules are more lenient
If you have a question or if anything is unclear in any way shape or form, ask it in suggestions as we are still working on the rules until launch. This applies to everything. Although things such as explosions and fire are ALLOWED in the dark world, it is prohibited to intentionally slow down the server by any means or to blow up/burn things wildly for no reason. Setting fire to a whole forest for fun or exploding TNT for no reason just to create lag will result in a ban
Roleplay rules
You cannot construct farms that are underground or land floating in the sky without appropriate lore and permission allowing it. You can request for things like in the request section on discord.
If you want to create a town or nation, create a request on the discord page with the name (or multiple in order of preference). Use common sense for the name. It should not be something like "New York". The town, settlement or nation must be in a RPG style name such as "Brandy-Mug" "Helgen" "Bree". If you use a small settlement style name when you're starting off you can request (discord) for a new name if you'd like if your town reaches a much larger population.
You can make a request to name any natural landscape on the map. Simply make a request with the coordinates and the name. for example, 10,5,10 Misty-River or 1232,23,-1320 Shadowmist Isle. If approved you will see the marker on the map.

Change the Game: Using Minecraft to Teach Students with Autism
I find it baffling that in 2019 I still have to explain why it’s important to play with students, especially when Fortune 500 companies are gamifying their workplace and their customer outreach, profitable gamer-culture on YouTube is on the rise and colleges have eSports teams.
It’s even more baffling when you acknowledge that throughout history, renowned philosophers and educators—including Plato, Comenius, Locke, Rousseau, Froebel, Piaget, and Papert—have lauded the power of play in teaching, especially for young learners. Modern research has continued to demonstrate that playful learning improves educational outcomes, even more so when it’s digital and multi-modal. I’ve certainly found that to be true in my years teaching non-traditional learners.
Modern research has continued to demonstrate that playful learning improves educational outcomes.
Despite popular myth, games actually discourage negative behaviors, benefit mental health and improve social skills. Of course, not all games are created equal. Certain elements are consistently present in quality games and quality learning tools. The best games are just fun, and the learning is almost invisible. I’ve always felt that the most powerful justification of learning through play is intrinsic motivation.
This is important because school tends to focus on extrinsic rewards like grades, stickers or candy, which are ineffective and possibly harmful to a student’s long-term educational needs. Games can help internalize motivation, building student perseverance and grit. Think about a child still trying to get Mario to make that jump after falling fifteen times. That same student may give up in class after one half-hearted try.
Games provide challenges and intrinsic motivation. All embedded image credits: Sean Arnold.
For these reasons and others, I have long sought to use games, both analog and digital, to instruct my classes filled with students who are non-traditional learners, many of them with autism. Not only do games bring learning to my students in ways that are unobtainable in direct instruction, but they also promote social connections through play and reinforce the development of 21st century skills. Perhaps better called essential modern skills at this point, these are particularly embedded in digital games. Since my early teaching days, I have sought to instruct in an open environment, allowing choice and personalization for hands-on and playful learning. With this same intention, I introduced Minecraft into my classroom.
Not only do games bring learning to my students in ways that are unobtainable in direct instruction, but they also promote social connections through play and reinforce the development of 21st century skills.
Minecraft Education
I learned about Minecraft when I overheard students expressing excitement about playing it outside of school. I decided to check it out for myself. I didn’t really understand it at first, but it seemed like a good way to begin teaching some of the design principles I modeled in my classes. So it began as STEM design challenges for my older, more adept students. Soon though, I realized it could be used for much more. I had skilled students recreate historic moments and allowed other students to explore and learn from those creations.
It’s important to recognize that, even as the gaming universe continues to expand, Minecraft stands as a unique experience in digital games. I can think of no other game that exemplifies creativity and autonomy in play in quite the same way. I have heard it compared to digital LEGOs (another worthwhile classroom tool) which is apt, as they both provide an open space for students to easily create directly from their imagination the world as they envision it. And while I love LEGOs, Minecraft is definitely easier to build in scale and clean up, not to mention less likely to hurt your foot in a misstep. Minecraft gives children a way to use their creative faculties in an environment unbound by rules.
I hit upon real success when I began to apply it to social-emotional learning. I would come to realize that the community is one of the most powerful, as well as one of the most precarious, parts of the game. The collaborative environment that could be so beneficial for learning could also be littered with many of the other negative issues we find elsewhere online. So, I paid for a small private server for my students to explore and work together safely.
Minecraft, Autism and 21st Century Learning
I was unaware of this early on, but eventually discovered that I wasn’t the only one who found Minecraft useful as an assistive technology for people with autism. Research shows how players “modded” their environment to “support self-regulation and community engagement.” And problems inherent in an open online setting, like bullying, oversharing and miscommunication, were resolved when I learned that an education edition had been developed for Minecraft and that, even within the consumer version, a private community had been created specifically for people with autism called Autcraft.
I’ve found Minecraft to be an exemplar of those 21st century learning traits mentioned previously. The game personifies creativity and collaboration. If designs are complex, they require planning and critical thinking to solve such challenges as determining what material will meet our aesthetic or how we can adapt to the natural environment around us. When the teacher requires other design challenges—accounting for material cost or using sustainable materials—students must access higher order thinking skills.
Minecraft Item Labels
One of the major benefits of the game, specifically for children with autism, comes with communication. Chat features are enabled with speech-to-text functionality, which lets struggling readers and writers plan and participate with the community at their own pace without the pressure of a face-to-face conversation. In fact, the game dynamic of signs that relay information is similar to the way we use vocabulary on real-world objects to teach language in early-childhood and language-challenged classrooms. This encourages social interaction in a comfortable manner within the game’s well-defined rules. Players are not just conversing for the sake of it but in an effort to successfully complete their in-game projects. That is huge for these students. And I have personally seen improvement in written language and increased verbalization in students with limited verbal skills through Minecraft game-play.
Practical Advice
One of the major benefits of the game, specifically for children with autism, comes with communication. Chat features are enabled with speech-to-text functionality, which lets struggling readers and writers plan and participate with the community at their own pace without the pressure of a face-to-face conversation.
I have now become skilled enough to create Minecraft worlds that engage my students in the type of learning I want to see, but I still make sure to allow enough freedom for them to have a choice in their learning. One of my projects has students with autism, who struggle with personal identity, creating a Minecraft journey that begins with self-portraits and personal narratives of their lives and families. Originally I had students do video walkthroughs to document and explain their work, but now I use speech-to-text apps to copy their ideas into writing for the built-in portfolio. There are several other game adaptations I have used from simple color-coding to using adaptive switches that have improved the game’s accessibility.
Minecraft provides a variety opportunities and environments for learning life skills.
One of the most useful ways I’ve incorporated Minecraft is in recreating local environments like the school, home or a grocery store. Students with mobility or behavioral issues can now traverse those environments safely in the virtual world before attempting it in the physical world. It has really helped students feel connected to the world in ways that weren’t always possible. I loved the fact that my students were no longer confined to wheelchairs or leg braces; they could walk, create and even fly. It’s a world where they are free from ridicule, free from their real-world struggles and free to create a world that they desire. That freedom is why Minecraft continues to be a crucial tool for me and my students.

The Ergohacks Verdict
After one day with the R13 I knew I wanted to keep it. I’ve used Chromebooks on and off since the first CR-48 and they’ve always frustrated and delighted me in equal turns. The simplicity of working just inside a browser has been amazing and with HTML5 web apps the list of things that you can’t do has gotten extremely small. When it’s worked it’s been great. The problem has been twofold – hardware that isn’t quite up to scratch and the fact that if you go offline you’re almost completely out of luck.
So that does the R13 do to fix this? There have always been Chromebooks available with decent specs – if you’re willing to pay a lot for it. The problem is that once you get up to those levels of cost it’s hard to make an argument not to go for a upper-end Windows ultrabook or a lower level Mac. The R13 had 4gb of RAM, 64gb of storage, charges via USBC and a battery that is quoted to go for 12 hours and actually gets pretty near it. It’s powerful enough that I’ve not had problems with tabs reloading unexpectedly and it’s been stable and quick the whole time. It’s also got one more trick – it’s got a touch screen and is reversible. Flip it around and you’ve got a 13 inch tablet.
So why would you want a ChromeOS tablet? Make a couple of changes in the OS and you can opt into the beta to get the Android app store on it. Not every Android app will work and many just aren’t optimised for a tablet – never mind a 13″ one but many do work and they bring two crucial elements. First many of them work offline and second, there’s an app for almost anything. I’ve managed to play Minecraft, write WordPress posts offline, edit images and video in Adobe Clip, access newsgroups, ssh into our Ergohacks server and a range of other things. The beta isn’t quite perfect and I’ve also had a couple of crashes but I’d tend to blame the apps more than Google for this.
In total the R13 is a real machine and one that I can work on reliably at a price that’s not outrageous.  I originally wrote that I’m not quite ready to give up my desktop full time but with the exception of a couple of odd pieces of hardware like a slide scanner and gaming the R13 has been equal to every task I’ve thrown at it. Highly recommended.
Buy it from Amazon  + 
Price: ± £390.00 Included: Acer R13, USB-C Charger and Quick Start Guide

Design
The R13 is a good looking laptop and particularly so for it’s pricepoint. It’s an aluminium block with squared off sides and edges. Around the edges are the USB-C charging point (that can also be used for data and with a breakout box), a USB 3.0 port, a HDMI port, a microSD card slot, a combined 3.5mm microphone and headset port and a Kensington port. There is also a power button and a volume rocker that have a distinctly tablet style.
The keyboard uses dark plastic keys that are good if not great to type on and have a reasonable travel, avoiding being mushy. The layout is typically ChromeOS with no caps lock or function keys but rather web navigation keys such as back and reload. If you’re coming from Windows they take a bit of getting used to but once you adapt to them are actually quite useful and certainly more so than the function keys ever were. The trackpad is mid sized at and feels quite responsive to use – thankfully it also accepts gestures.
The only potential flaw in the design is the hinge. Unlike most of the bodywork it’s plastic and while it does work reasonably it’s not as tight gripping as it could be and hence the screen can move about a lot more than I’m happy about. It’s worse if you try to actively use the touchscreen in laptop layout and you need to hold the screen with one hand while touching. I’m also a little concerned about its durability. It’s held up the three weeks of testing I’ve done but bends in directions it shouldn’t far too easily.
Specification
Product Dimensions: 1.5 x 22.5  x 32 cm Item Weight: 1.48kg Colour: Brushed aluminium Waterproof: No Release date: October 2016 Materials: Aluminium and plastic body
Technical Specification Operating System: ChromeOS Processor: 210GHz MediaTek Memory: 4GB Display: 13.3″ 1920 x 1080 IPS Camera: Fixed HDR Webcam Wi-Fi: 802.11 ac 2x MIMO Bluetooth: Yes Storage: 64Gb and expandable microSD card slot Input: Touch Screen 10 point Ports: USB-C Charge, 1x USB 3.0, HDMI, NFC (Near Field Communication): No Battery: Integrated non-removable 54 Watt Hours with  quoted 12-hour usage
Warranty: One year free from manufacturer defects
Requirements
It was once true that ChromeOS needed an always available internet connection and while this isn’t quite true these days and the advent of Android apps on ChromeOS is making it even less so it’s still nearly necessary. You can be away from wifi for a while but if you don’t spend the majority of your time in areas with decent wifi this may not be the system for you. The system will also require that you have a Google account.

About Acer
Acer is a well known Taiwanese multinational that specialises in mid-range laptops but also makes a range of screens, VR devices, smartphones and other peripherals. They make a wide range of Chromebooks including the C720 which was my last Chromebook.
 We based our Ergohacks Verdict on three weeks of tinkering, testing and using the R13 provided by Acer during August and September 2017. This article was first published on 5 September 2017.

Runecraft [Semi-Vanilla] {Darkworlds} {Towny} {Nation Building} {Softcore Medieval Roleplay} {PVP} {Survival} {Economy} {1.13.2}
Hey! We have just finished creating a brand new minecraft server that changes how you play the game. It's a towny server with softcore rpg elements and a major twist. This is modded with optifine but we didn't feel it was appropriate to tag it as a modded server.
For a detailed description, head to our website https://runecraft.neocities.org/ to check it out. To apply read the website tabs from left to right. Here is the homepage of the website and rules for preview. These are on the website so you might as well go there and skip the rest of this post. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is Runecraft?
Runecraft is a minecraft server which is known for it's gamemode "Darkworlds survival" or simply darkworlds. This website and guide assumes you know how vanilla minecraft functions. If you don't know how minecraft functions you should check out a wiki. Runecraft is the original creator of the darkworlds gamemode. Runecraft is a pre-modern, medieval style (towny) nation building survival server with a softcore rpg element which ensures that players do not build ugly things which are out of place such as pixel art.
Discord: https://discord.gg/wwUcwdd
The IP can be requested in the apply section by simply saying "ip?", as we are still in alpha. Server status can be seen on discord "server-messages" page, and note that ip can change sometimes.
What's Darkworlds?
Darkworlds is a new way of playing survival minecraft. It consists of multiple dimensions, the main ones being The Light World, and The Dark World.
Light World
The light world is the world where the sun rises and sets, but materials like ores, coal and obsidian, sand, can not be mined. If you try to mine them, they will break but not drop an item. Monsters and animals also do not drop any loot or exp when killed.
Nature must be preserved here, buildings must be very well crafted, and other resource collecting which changes the natural landscape is prohibited. You may protect your blocks and items in the lightworld with the towny town system. You may create a town/settlement or join one.
PvP is global on the light world, so do not let your guard down. You may create pvp free zones using towny. More info on towny in the guide section.
Dark World
The dark world is the place where it is always night. You can access the dark world via various dark world portals from the light world. The monsters here are abundant and more dangerous. You may mine ores here in this dangerous dimension, and monsters will drop items and exp.The dark world is reset every month (will be every week with more players).
The dark world does not have as many regulations as the light world, and things such as TnT and fire spread are allowed.
-- Rules:Runecraft Terminology:
mcn/mcname: Minecraft username
cname or rcn/RCN: Runecraft/character name (This is what your name will appear as in runecraft. Chosen in the application.)
Rune Crystal/Rune: Diamond
Iron Bar: Iron Ingot
Gold Bar: Gold Ingot
This is a softcore RPG style server, which means we try to create realism in our fantasy world. For example, if one were to fly there would have to be a reason such as a broomstick or a magic potion. The setting is a pre modern non-technological world where nature is valued.
Rules
GOLDEN RULE: \*USE COMMON SENSE\** If you doubt you are doing the right thing - ask a moderator or admin! Not knowing the rules is not an acceptable excuse.
All rule-breaking is prone to ban, or punishment.
You are responsible for your own account. Any action taken or rules broken on it are your responsibility. No other player may have access to it.
Server wide rules:
No Cheating, Client Modifications, and Exploiting Bugs
No Spawn killing / TP Killing
No Causing lag on purpose
No Alternate Accounts
No Spam
No Advertising, posting links.
No mods or client hacks allowed. Ask staff if your mod is allowed.
Glitches and exploits must be privately reported to an admin. Revealing or abusing them will provoke a harsh ban.
You are always "in-character" in the game. Non-game related discussion can be held elsewhere such as the discord channel.
Speak english
Build rules
Everything you build must conform to our roleplay world and lore. We penalize for any ugly, unrealistic, or physics-defying builds, and will destroy them.
No obnoxious constructions such as..
Pixel art
Structures that aren't architecturally sound - such as really tall single block towers
Very tall structures
Do not build overly modern or non-medieval builds.
Do not build a box-structure or something equally uncreative
You cannot construct "Instant" Death Traps. Death traps are not allowed in any way shape or form
No giant holes or walls to block paths.
No blocking routes to dark / light portals. All portals must have at least 1 path leading to the portal without obstruction or death. Players caught abusing this will be banned.
Extensive usage of buttons on a settlement/castle is not allowed. Only a layer of buttons may be placed at the base of each wall, representing spikes or for decoration/redstone usage only.
Light world: Do not unnecessary break blocks or mess with nature
If you need to collect a lot of dirt, or sand, do it in the dark world.
If you cut down a tree, replant at least one. 99% of the time this will be easy since saplings are automatically replanted.
Do not leave wood or leaves floating in the sky from tree cutting
Do not Grief builds or landscape in the light world. You may steal, but do not grief and destroy things just for fun. Use common sense. People without common sense will be banned. For example: If you see someone has built a nice dock by a lake, do not destroy it without admin permission. If you see some random blocks of sponge in the middle of a forest, you may destroy it if you like.
Do not destroy other people's builds, you may create a small entry if necessary however. If you find something ugly, report it on discord in the support section
Dark world: Rules are more lenient
If you have a question or if anything is unclear in any way shape or form, ask it in suggestions as we are still working on the rules until launch. This applies to everything. Although things such as explosions and fire are ALLOWED in the dark world, it is prohibited to intentionally slow down the server by any means or to blow up/burn things wildly for no reason. Setting fire to a whole forest for fun or exploding TNT for no reason just to create lag will result in a ban
Roleplay rules
You cannot construct farms that are underground or land floating in the sky without appropriate lore and permission allowing it. You can request for things like in the request section on discord.
If you want to create a town or nation, create a request on the discord page with the name (or multiple in order of preference). Use common sense for the name. It should not be something like "New York". The town, settlement or nation must be in a RPG style name such as "Brandy-Mug" "Helgen" "Bree". If you use a small settlement style name when you're starting off you can request (discord) for a new name if you'd like if your town reaches a much larger population.
You can make a request to name any natural landscape on the map. Simply make a request with the coordinates and the name. for example, 10,5,10 Misty-River or 1232,23,-1320 Shadowmist Isle. If approved you will see the marker on the map.
