The Skyblock Challenge

A most interesting way to play Minecraft. You start out with a tiny island made up of about 80 blocks of dirt, a chest with a few materials, and a single tree. From there, you have to expand the island and complete a bunch of small challenges. I tend to overbuild, as you will see here by comparing the before and after images of my challenge attempt so far. Even with so much infrastructure, I have yet to finish a few of the required challenges, such as building 40 stone brick blocks, and building 20 bookshelves. I only just now set up a reed farm to finish the latter, and the former requires me to bake a lot of cobblestone in a furnace, of which I have been using all of my cobblestone for building.

So far, I have pulled over 19,000 cobblestone blocks from a little machine that uses the infinite effects of water and lava source blocks to create stone.

In which you get blown up by going outside without checking to see if you had a visitor at the door.

It was a box. It was, in fact, the Box.

Last summer, I acquired a kindle. Upon getting it, I immediately had it engraved with the one thing I find necessary on a mobile reading device. xkcd of a similar idea. A lot of people I know don’t like the idea of getting rid of physical books, but I find it a lot easier to carry around than a normal book, and it’s just as comfortable to read.

I’ve got a bunch of Robert Heinlein’s books on it right now, and have been chewing through those during just about every bit of free time I’ve had lately. His books are some of the most well written and well thought through pieces of literature I have ever read. His mental invention of devices basically includes everything we take for granted in the modern world.

Mr. Dorman: Food GET.
Mr. Dorman: It is a large bell pepper stuffed with cheese and meat.
Mr. Dorman: I’m not sure how to eat this
Atlas Rune: Eat it like a man, by just shoveling it into your mouth with your hand
Mr. Dorman: SHOVEL MODE ACTIVATED

In which we destroy all the stars in a drunken rampage, and then magically roll up random things into new stars.

I may elaborate further later, but Minecraft is awesome.

The Early Bird Catches A Cold

^_^

Twisting old random sayings is quite a fun activity.

I somehow ended up scheduling classes for 8:00 every day I have school. Waking up every day to get to these classes has proven already to be annoying, but not necessarily hard.

Also, my stats teacher is crazy. We’ve had two classes so far, and the only direct thing that we’ve learned about stats is that it’s the science and art of studying data. Though sort of obvious, apparently she needs to hammer it into everyone who comes into the class. The rest of the classes was her just obsessing about statistics. Pointing out that statisitcs are everywhere, and that no-one had been collecting data till quite recently, because of apparent superstition. 

My class failed the birthday stat. It was great. She was left speechless.

Pi Day

 

Today is Pi day! March 14, or 3.14.

A wizzard has drawn you a whale.

Now you’re thinking without portals.

Valve recently updated their epic “shooter” Portal with a sneaky, and almost viral, prelude to it’s next game, Portal 2. (And apparently has removed the update from the update system, so people who didn’t update during the time don’t get it.) Again, it made me think in portals. How to launch myself with portals, how to launch physics objects with portals, how to redirect missiles with portals, how to shit with portals, and finally how to piss off rogue AI’s with portals.

THE PROBLEM is trying to get back to thinking normally once you’ve spent more than a few hours at a time portal-hopping through this world. You constantly feel like your vision SHOULD be spinning, and almost lose balance existing in a world without portals.

Anyways, this post is a little late, but still epic.

My Name is Lucifer, Please Take My hand

 

I want one of these. They’re the epitome of religious comedy. It’s not directly offensive, and it shouldn’t be, but it pokes fun at people who carry pocket bibles. If GOD has any direct characteristics, he must have a sense of humor.

At any rate, it seems I tend to poke a lot of fun at religion here on Rideo. It’s not that I have anything against Christianity itself, but I tend not to like ORGANIZED religion as it stands. When a church becomes monetized, and strays from focus on what it should and it annoys me.  As to why I only really pick on Christianity, it’s the only one I tend to know much or really anything about.

Also, as a final note, rounded corners can make any image look good.

Psychologically Overqualified

“I feel like i have no rhythm.”

I found this image today, when trying to fully define apathy to a friend. It describes apathy as being both not very challenging and requiring very little skill. I disagree. I think apathy is quite hard to fully achieve. Everyone seems to care about something, even if they don’t fully know it. Getting rid of that care, even the tiny little bit that is there in some people takes effort. From what I’ve seen, Apathy should fit right in the middle of this chart.

I tend to fit best in the relaxation section of this when I’m doing something I like, and in the boredom level when I’m not. As a lucid dreamer, I seem to exhaust all of my capacity for “flow” during my sleeping hours, lol. Caring for a challenge just isn’t in my list of priorities; It never has been.

Randomly drew this tower tonight, mainly for procrastination on my homework, but also just to see how well a full size image works on the blog. I think I’m going to use hte background color of the blog next time, just to make it fit better. Purple sort of stands out.

Dorman’s Interlude:

Mr. Dorman: the thing that bothered me most about last weeks lost episode is that when jack brought home pizza and finds that his son ran off so he goes looking for him but by the time he finds him the pizza would have been cold
Atlas: …………..
Atlas: o_q
Mr. Dorman: and reheated pizza just isn’t as good as fresh pizza
Atlas: lol
Atlas: you point out the most random things
