People are replicating the feeling of a Bethesda game IRL so well that I’m scared someone’s going to get caught clipped through the floor

so there’s a pretty well known minecraft server called 2b2t that was originally made by facepunch/4chan idiots at least five years ago with the goal of creating a server that 1. has no moderation and 2. never changes maps. naturally a lot of idiot griefer players were attracted to this concept and basically turned the server into a lawless hellworld where any new player is at the mercy of the griefer warlords. the griefers built a colossal, monolithic cobblestone wall around the worldspawn so new players with no items wouldn’t be able to escape from it, allowing griefers with powerful equipment to spawnkill new players as much as they liked. new players punched dozens of tiny little tunnels through this wall which created a way to escape the worldspawn area if you explored enough

one time in july of 2012 i heard about this server and decided to explore it a bit. that’s what the huge wall around the worldspawn looked like from outside the worldspawn. the worldspawn was basically the epicenter of a massive radius of uninhabitable land where stuff like trees and animals had all been stripped away by griefers to make it as hard as possible to survive. i managed to run fairly far away from the worldspawn and reach an area that looked relatively normal and uninhabited so i dug a small underground bunker at the bottom of the world and planted a couple farms and logged out. i kind of forgot about it after that and didn’t log back in until i randomly remembered the server existed again in march of 2015 and decided to see if my little bunker was still there which is when i discovered that it was and saw this REALLY good sign somebody had left after discovering it

at that time in 2015 i just kind of laughed and took that screenshot and explored my bunker a bit and saw that people had come and destroyed the farms i had built and holed up the entrance to my bunker but otherwise left it in tact, which made me pretty proud. i logged out and forgot about the server again until just now (august of 2017) when i logged back in again. my bunker was pretty much the same as in 2015 except that funny sign had been removed by someone. i didn’t go back up to the surface when i had logged in in 2015, so decided to dig myself back up and see what it was like

when i originally dug down in this area in 2012, it just looked like any other naturally generated tundra/forest biome in minecraft. what i found when i came back up to the surface just now five years later was a strange massive manmade cobblestone structure and several giant fountains of lava. there weren’t any other players nearby. someone had spawned four withers nearby which seemed to (thankfully) be stuck in a ditch like area and were just blowing shit up indefinitely. i wandered around and found another underground base near mine which happened to have some melons growing in it, so i took a few to resupply the melons in my griefed farm. i got a bit lost but finally found the hole leading back to my bunker and buried myself again and planted my melon seeds. i can hear the wither explosions from my bunker now, which is kind of worrying. i don’t really feel like doing anything else in here so maybe i’ll log back in and 2020 and see if my little bunker with the melons is still there then

Okay, at this point there has to be something wrong with me, right? I’ve watched this 20 times in the last half hour, I still don’t know what they are saying half the time, but it doesn’t seem to matter because i’ve been crying my eyes out laughing for the entire last half hour …

what the fuck is this from i gotta know

it’s called letterkenny and it’s about a man who gets dumped and then goes on to shirk his pacifism and reclaim and hold his title as the toughest dude in the rural town of letterkenny ontario. every episode cold opens like this in increasingly bizarre ways.

I read the bit about not being able to parse what’s being said and then I read the bit about it being set in this fuckin province, and I thought, like, what kind of accent could they possibly use that was so incomprehensible while still setting it in northern goddamn Ontario? and actually, okay, you know what, despite having lived immersed in it my entire life I’m not sure i’ve ever seen this exact accent on tv before, it is just weird to see actors using it

My cousins grew up with the guy who wrote this show and is the main actor. It’s scary accurate for hick town Ontario (it’s based on the town of Listowel) and apparently some of the characters are based so closely on real people that they’ve recognized themselves while watching.

I lived near Ontario in rural NY and we picked up this sort of similar affect. It’s so scary how true-to-life this is in that area of the contintent
