mumbo “i’m not a builder” jumbo and mr. goodtimes

OF COURSE SCAR HAS ARTBOOKS FOR REFERENCES..... this man....... please.. oh my god... scar content.. I WILL TAKE ANY AND ALL SCAR CONTENT.. I believe in Scar Supremacy

this post is from january 2021 during hermitcraft season 7 and it’s crazy to see how much both the hermitcraft community and scar have grown in the past three years.

mr. goodtimes has gone from making builds inspired by artbooks to having his builds be the inspiration behind an artbook.

the Scarland Artbook (@scarland-artbook) is a collaborative 240-page art book made by hermitcraft fans for hermitcraft fans and will be open for preorders starting tomorrow april 12th.

Minecraft YouTubers have ruined my vocabulary. I don't think there's been a day in the last two weeks I haven't randomly added the "-ificate" suffix to a word thank to Ren and Tango

I also didn't used to say "yooo!", "oh jeez", or "scuffed" before Technoblade, Ranboo, and Philza happened. but now I do

It's only a matter of time before I start saying like, "pants", or "oh snappers", or something with the amount of Hermitcraft and Life Series I consume

being a fan of a friend's ocs is actually so humiliating....... like yes my favourite character rn is tragically doomed and a pillar of humanity who i think is relevant to the current world. you can find information about them on discord dot com and sometimes in late-night conversations with this guy i know. what the fuck

up late at night thinking about a guy who exists to three people. such a desire to talk about him until my lungs give out and read every scrap of fanfiction on the internet and yet there is NOTHING!!!! and i have to pretend to be NORMAL about this. "oh yes your character is cool. have you considered writing more" meanwhile the wolves in my brain are tearing and biting

One year ago today…

The Qlobal Translator was unveiled and added to the QSMP! This wonderful development added real-time, live translations of voice chat on the server.

This has been one of the most instrumental and influential tools in bringing together communities and breaking down language barriers. Friendships have been made around the globe, a wide variety of languages has been introduced and supported, and audiences from around the world have been able to discover and enjoy new content creators and characters. The Qlobal Translator was the first development of the server, and began its grand adventure of the first multilingual Minecraft server.

It’s also led to some rather situational humor.

Happy 1 Year of translations!

Great news everyone. There was a kitten wandering in the drive thru at work and my inner warrior cats kid tried to be a hero and capture him.

I have now suffered multiple puncture wounds and have to go to the emergency room.

Me: I shall become his mother and gain his trust

Me talking to an animal control officer five minutes later: he is a nasty horrid little boy and I am bleeding heavily

Animal control officer on the phone: So he’s in your car with you?

Me: Um. It’s his car now and he’s very mad at me.

Second animal control officer: oh you captured him and got him in your car? He’s friendly?

Me, my right hand completely wrapped in paper towels: wouldn’t say that

Urgent Care Nurse: Wow it’s strange he managed to get you so many times.

Me: I uh. Did not let go.

You vibe as someone prone to toxic relationships

People on tumblr will just say anything huh.

Oh cmon, "he hurt me a lot cause i couldn't let go" absolutely has double interpretation.

Me, holding a cat (of unknown gender) as it repeatedly digs its little teeth deep into my flesh: Is this… too… yuri?

Here’s one good thing to come out of 2020:

Paleontologists completed a life-sized replica of Sue, the most complete T. Rex ever found.

And she is freaking GORGEOUS!

As I read more about this beauty, I found out some new details regarding things I thought I previously knew about the beast that was Tyrannosaurus Rex, and I’m going to share them with you.

First, and most obvious, her size:

This is nothing new, we all figured T. Rex was big, but I for one never stopped to consider exactly how big it was. Nobody ever really knows what to imagine when they read about something the size of a whale that walked around and ate everything it could kill. 

Speaking of eating things, I just want to remind you all that T. Rex had–by miles–the strongest bite of any terrestrial animal living or dead, somewhere around six and a half tons of force. That’s over six times greater than the current estimate of what Allosaurus was capable of, and three times what was delivered by the highest measured reading of the living title holder–the estuarine crocodile. It didn’t have to waste time swinging its head open-mouthed like Saurophaganax for a little extra oomph, or grow fancy serrated teeth like Carcharodontosaurus to cut pieces out of its prey. It opted for the simplest approach: get its mouth around something and crush it to death; imagine the full weight of an elephant on whatever was between this thing’s jaws.

“How did it find something to eat?” I hear you asking. “It can’t see something if it doesn’t move, right?”

Listen, I love Jurassic Park too, but that’s a big crock of shit.

Notice how both her eyes face forward. That gives her binocular vision (the ability to focus both eyes on one target, like you and I). More importantly it means she has impeccable depth perception due to overlapping fields of vision from each, large, eyeball. Researchers agree that T. Rex not only had incredible vision, but that it was probably better than most modern animals–including eagles, hawks, and owls–and that she could likely spot something three and a half miles away. If something that big can see that well, it doesn’t matter if you move or not, she’d be able to tell if it was an animal trying to hide or a piece of vegetation. So pray she isn’t hungry if she lays eyes on you. And even if by some miracle she didn’t see you, she’d still smell you. 

If she decided you looked tasty, you probably wouldn’t hear her coming as much as you’d feel her. Modern science indicates that T. Rex didn’t roar like in Jurassic Park, but rather bellowed or maybe even hissed like crocodilians. If she were on to you, you’d most likely feel this sense of unease creep up your spine as a low-pitched rumble in the air permeated through you. You wouldn’t know what it was or where it was coming from until you hear her footfalls. By then it’s too late–you could try to run but she’d probably catch you. There’s plenty on YouTube that reconstructs what T. Rex may have sounded like, and it’s legitimately haunting.  

To wrap all of this up, the one bit of good that came out of the cursed year that is 2020 is that this wonderful child of science and art came into the world, and reaffirmed my respect and admiration for the eight ton slab of muscle and teeth that is this magnificent creature.

…and it is nothing if not magnificent.

I watched a program a little while ago that estimated what the TRex would have sounded like. They took a crocodile vocalisation, lowered the pitch and slowed down the sound (to account for the larger vocal chords) and then played the sound.

My pets had been sleeping calmly. But as soon as that noise sounded through my lounge room, all three of them leaped to their feet.

Both dogs started barking a very urgent bark that was a combination of their “something just startled me so now I’m yelling at it” bark and their “a man in a fourescent vest is trying to come through the gate” bark (they hate men in flourescent vests, especially men in flourescent vests who try to come on the property; there’s nothing they hate more). It was the most angry-scared bark I’ve ever heard from either of them. Both of them were the spikiest I’ve ever seen them, too. Hackles ALL the way up. I didnt know they could get as spiky as they did. The fur was up ALL the way down their spines and their tails were all puffed up.

And the cat had been sleeping on the couch but she freaked the fuck out at the exact same time the dogs did; hiss-spat as she flew off the couch and through the gap in the half-closed-up chimney. She didn’t come back out for over half an hour. The dogs took about that long to calm down too; they kept stalking around the house all spiky and growling at shadows and didn’t settle for ages.

And I was freaked out too. I calmed down faster than the dogs/cat did, but it freaked me out when I first heard it. I’d had the TV up high cause I was eating crunchy salad and I’d turned it up so I could hear easily over my own crunchy chewing, and sound thrummed through my whole body like a muted, creepier version of a bass note from a big-ass speaker at a concert, and something in the back of my head went, “run.” Every hair on MY body raised up, and I felt the adrenaline fire through my body. Literally I felt the roll-out of adrenaline as it pulsed out from my heart, down my limbs, and into my extremities. I’ve never felt adrenaline so acutely as that before and it was very weird and alarming.

This was at the exact same time as the dogs and cat freaked out, by the way, so its not that i set them off or vice versa. The TV show was like “this is what we think a TRex might have sounded like!” and all four of the living creatures in my lounge room said, in perfect tandem, “oh, fuck”

Here is an example for anyone interested. It really is deeply unsettling. It’s the same kind of sound they use in horror movie soundtracks. For whatever reason, we have an instinctive primal fear of low frequency sounds.
