May there versus here

 

Found one of these things spawned in "my" area.

returned to tear it down and gut it for parts

took a few trips and days, back in my build base

I've got to replace that stupid leather cap. I died and lost my aqua affinity hat. The game's error this time. Anyways, found this hat in a ship wreck and am just wearing it until I level up enough to craft a better hat. But, I forget how ugly that hat is because I'm looking at the virtual world, not looking at the little avatar while I'm playing.

It started to not be "that- thing" anymore.

I've gone back a couple more times since

Built a fishing boat fire pit with a wall of boat storage and finished doors and walls all except for one gap. But, there's still inner doors and a couple escape hatches, just in case the pillager attempt to return. 

Still useless, but claimed with cows and stuff to survive now. 

May 13th, in my escapism? pouting sadness? ... depression :( don't even know at this point it's been too long whatever this state is. 

Anyways, in virtual there's a million block rail East from zero to 1,000,000. That has been "there" in virtual since 2015, and I've moved those region files into multiple worlds, and built many, many rail hubs. And a few small walled town sized villages. And I worked on the water walls and cliffs of a 1,000 by 1,000,000 block area, a.k.a. a billion block area. Do I feel like I "own" it? I don't honestly know. 

In 2025 with the "winning" of the extreme wealth over the vote of the people. Why do I claim this? They own the news, they own the banks, they own congress, they own the judges, they own the hospitals and BIG pharma own the doctors. And now they are shutting down essential services that help the people survive and thrive at a better than dark age standard of living. 

So? my 2025 coping world, my last world is a trillion block area. No I'm not even close to marking it, much less "owning" it, it's not done. 

I started with the easy edge. Like edges of a jigsaw puzzle, the top region ends/starts exactly at zero. So I loaded region files in other worlds, and imported virtual land to fill in a million blocks along the top. From -500,000 to zero to 500,000. Region 0. -976 adds blocks to -499,712.

 I added the corner blocks to -500k. In survival for some reason. I just build wall and a corner fort. And then 0.975 to again, fall a little short rather than over lap the 500k corner. Zero ~ Zero is its own region, so a million blocks is 1,952 region files. 512 x 512 blocks. 512 x 1,952 = 999,424 blocks. I add the remaining 576 blocks in survival. 

The 'M' rail and the billion block area with its 2 million and 2 thousand blocks of wall perimeter, runs in the center of the not yet marked or "there" trillion block area. Because, a million by a million is a trillion block area. And I've only so far made a giant virtual T, appropriate considering it is 2025. And the wealthy assholes are in power, putting up gold gilt cupids in the American People's White House. 

Sooo,ooo,ooo,ooo? I have started on the million block edge at region 1953. The game generated region land ends not at zero but at 999,936. Zero again is a region so 1952 + the 512 for region zero, region 1952 ends at 999,936. A much smaller gap then the sides of the square. I added three region of forest and stopped. Like the bridge to nowhere in Alaska, I decided to clone a hall or wall plus a hall to nowhere. I'm calling it my useless hall. All this to say yesterday, starting at the 1,000,000 ~ -500,000 corner I cloned the wall/hall just past -400,000. And added a bit of useless grass and a row of useless trees, there, in virtual nowhere, for nobody. 

This is what it looks like inside the useless hall. 

At -400,000 inside the useless hall looking towards -500k

Looking down the hall on May 12th 2025

A section of the useless hall with a barrel, crafting table and a couple furnaces May 11th

As I came along shipwrecks and ruins with chests in the sea, before I cloned over them, I collect the stuff from the chests and put them in the barrel. This then gets cloned every 300 blocks or so until it falls off of the cloned edge, and isn't cloned anymore. I also change the blocks as I go along, it's tiresome the same blocks over and over. Much more fun to add and remove blocks transforming the hall as I go along. 

didn't get too wild with the bright colors on this useless hall

The beginning looks very similar to the end, so far. 

The bamboo section is where the barrel and crafting table is,

Flying up in creative, it looks so small, especially from the end, but it's 100,000 blocks long useless hall and I don't really know what the next section will look like or if it will even exist, in virtual, yet. If I get back into real life, busy with people and family again, it won't happen. If I "pout" alone on the couch for multiple days in my home, again, then it will, or I may build some place else in virtual. Just saying trillion block area of blocks is a lot of virtual building space. 

flying directly towards the end of the hall-wall

It's only 6 blocks wide, even on a map, maps are 128 blocks square, it's not a very wide line. 

two maps on the outside of the survival house, on the wall-hall

Of course the line of blocks is divided, at zero it was directly in the center of one map. I don't think I'll be mapping much of this, I crashed the computer I was playing in then, I loaded too many maps in a giant map tower. Now? They only exist in saves of old worlds and can't be moved with the region files to the next one, even if you copy the folder with that data. It is broken the maps seem to be unique in each world you generate now. 

May 29th, Life? Eh... every now and then I return to the real day and talk to trees, and wonder what bird's lives are like. 

In virtual? I made it to zero from -500,000 ~ 1,000,000. The hall, it was stark and I decided brutalism was more fitting. 

Who knows where this is because I cloned it for 100s of thousands of blocks.

So yeah, made it to zero, basketball games on, drinking beer, but mostly two token beers sipped over hours while I played/did this virtually facilitated digital depression. Once past zero. I didn't take any photos. BFF said this world is as ugly as a cat's ass. I asked him to clarify, but he has a right to his opinion. It is ugly, it's blocks dumped out on a table, nothing built.. yet. And this is just an edge, a thin line like an ant seen from space. Get it, you can't even see us from space. And the game only renders what? a region and a half out at best? Anyways. I made it past zero 'M'. And am now cloning a new useless hall/wall towards 500,000 So it will be an I, the center of the I is 0 ~ 0 to 1,000,000 ~ 0. And the top of the I is 0 ~ -500,000 to zero to 500,000. And the bottom of the I where I am today is 1,000,000 ~ -500,000 to zero to 500,000 and I'm at 100k something. 

This, for thousands and thousands of blocks along the million block edge.

May 31st, 

Been quarreling with myself about my life direction. Nightmares, more confusing than usual waking me up in the wee hours of the morning. Yesterday, May 30th, I just didn't want to think at all about it, so after lunch, started cloning this useless wall/hall marking the 1,000,000 block edge of a trillion block square area. And just before sleep, past 1 am, I made it well past 250k. 259,110 to be exact, this isn't a screenshot of there, it's me gradually replacing all the blocks see in the photo above with different block, cloning a couple more times, repeat. And this is an in-between before I get rid of all the pale pink(white terracotta), yellow, purple and blue blocks. 

inside useless hall/wall along 1,000,000 edge on May 30th

I'll leave some of the brick and the grey, but replace almost everything else with white cement, quarts, white oak, white glass, diorite and some white wool (the wool inside on the floor only). 

When it's all white except for the few blocks of red bricks and stone grey, then I think I'll do it again, only with all green blocks until I reach 500k. But, it's May 31st today, so realistically that will be some time next month.

Same, outside of useless hall/wall 1,000,000 ~ 300k something, May 31st 2025
