TBH it was pretty barebones, but I did enjoy seeing some of my worlds in stereoscopic 3D. It also scares me for the future of VR (minecraft is a REALLY popular game. If it is dropping VR does that mean adoption isn’t going that well?).
Also, this is specifically regarding Bedrock minecraft. Java has never officially supported it, but there are mods that add the functionality.
I haven’t played it on steam deck, but it might be a little hard. It requires a little precision aiming, so you could maybe pull it off with the trackpad, but I struggle with mouse as it is. If they added some console-like auto aim it would be a phenomenal controller game.
I’d say I missed out on this really cool map making period in gaming history (Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, Half-life, counter-strike, etc.), but it kinda lived on a little when I was a teenager (countless, painful hours making halo 3 and halo: reach maps using a controller…fun times though). Kids nowadays have it the best though: When I was little we DREAMED of a lego video game and minecraft nails that (lego island and lego island 2 were awesome, but it wasn’t infinite building awesome).
I see someone else read this NY Times article today. Wild read, I was trying to get things done around the house and it sucked me in.
Edit: OP posted the article in another community, can’t believe I missed it. https://kbin.melroy.org/m/news@lemmy.world/t/411895
…is this a canary in the coalmine joke?
Wait till you see his van.
This is awesome, thank you!
I always love recap threads like this. It’s an easy way for me to catch up the next day and make sure I didn’t miss anything.

Also wanted to drop a comment that this is awesome and a fantastic use of AI!
I love that this comic about Octopi/Squids is posted by Flying Squid
Ty for the link. I remember the day he died my dad was pretty torn up by it. Now I have a lot more context.

The Tenderizer (with fire rate set to high) is pretty great at clearing enemy waves of voteless. Every time you spawn with it you have to change the fire rate though.
Quasar Cannon was kind of mid when I used it. I ended up liking the Laser Cannon more than it, but neither were really cutting it for me against Harvesters. Laser Cannon was decent at killing Overseers though.
Machine guns in general were pretty decent when I used them against Harvesters and Overseers.
The Senator was good for killing enemy Overseers in a pinch. It took ~5 shots to kill when body shotting, and with headshots I was able to kill in 2-3 shots.
If you use the Tenderizer, the Quasar Cannon, and the FRV at the same time I swear you can almost hear smooth jazz playing in the background…
