This is the kind of stuff that makes Minecraft such an awesome game. Even though this is just a bug - an unintended piece of the game - it's something weirdly incredible.
-Larcus Mywood
I mean, that is some mystical shit. It takes a long time to get there, and once you're there, all you can do is wonder. And then your game freezes and you pay the ultimate price.
"There have always been ghosts in the machine. Random segments of code, that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols."
"Why is it that when creepers are stored in an empty space, they will group together, rather than stand alone? How do we explain this behavior? Random segments of code? Or is it something more? When does a perceptual schematic become consciousness? When does a difference engine become the search for truth? When does a personality simulation become the bitter mote... of a soul?"
SSSssSSSssSSSouls....
Ah, memories of Ghost in the Shell...
Weirdly, that made me think of jane in the ender's game books
Reminds me of the Otherland books.
hrmm, not heard of these. Sounds similar to the movie "the thireenth floor", where by

with hilarious consequences
Hey, guys, I found this jewel, anyone know anything about it?
They're extremely long and can be somewhat dry at times. I've only read the first book and it was some 900 pages long or such. I've read longer books but not where every book in the series is that long (Song of Ice and Fire being the exception). The first book was worth the read, but it didn't engage me enough to sacrifice the time it'd take me to read the whole series when I could be reading other books instead.
Good series. And thank you for now making me want to read it again.
King Missile Fan?
It's not mystical, it's IEEE-754 - screwing programmers over since time immemorial.

In all seriousness, though, the IEEE's standard for floating-point representation. It's not as squeaky-clean as many would like - but worst-is-better...
Aww, you quoted me and got more karma haha.
Sorry bud.

The far lands
What side did you travel to?

Do I really want to know where that's from?
Maybe...maybe not.
And I'm done with the internet for the day.
No you're not and you know it.
I've made you famous
Took me 3 pages to realize I was supposed to read right to left. Made much more sense after that.

What the shit did I just read?
HOLY CRAP. That was amazimg.
EDIT: in contrast to my spelling, that is
Try Gyo by the same author. Same level of fucked up-ness, maybe higher and more drama.
Amazingly terrible...
Only Japan can confuse me quite like this: was the main character a man or a woman?
Both!
Well I thought woman, I think because of the eyes, so my reaction half way though: "hey, this is getting hot!" Now you've gone and ruined it for me. I hope you don't take that as an insult, but I can now longer be sure it contains lesbians.
Fuck that comic, i read only bits and pieces and it still creeps the fuck out of me.
Who is it by?
Junji Ito.
No matter how many times I read that comic, I'm always so bloody confused.
It's a metaphor for how we force ourselves down career paths in our life, conforming to a narrow set of societal norms, inexplicably convinced that is what we truly want, and end up twisting and warping our lives as a result.
And the best part is, it's in Minecraft.
DRRR...DRRRRR...DRRRR
I found the pic hilarious. The comic? Not so much...
That just seems perfect for r/nosleep...
A short lesbian love affair ends in disaster.
Short lesbians? Yes, please!

Oh god, what hath thou wrought? I'm never going to look at creepers the same way again. I'm not even sure if I can play on anything other than peaceful now.
I completely forgot how to read regular comics after reading manga. I'm not even sure if that's right to left or left to right.
You'd think the arrow "READ THIS WAY" would give you a hint.
Yes.

Heh I knew what picture would be posted before clicking.
Oh no, I remember reading this when I was younger. *reads it anyways
Brr Brr Brr Brr
Incredible. I love how though a bug, it truly is a mystical and dream-like place which rejects the laws of Minecraft physics that govern the rest of the in-game world.
Thankfully Notch has no intention of fixing this place, so I'm hoping it will continue to serve as a Shambhala for Minecraft players everywhere to venture to and reflect upon their actions and the impact they have had on their remarkable and unique dynamically-generated world.

Really? It should have put it into Tibetan Buddhist mode, if anything. ;-)
Don't forget Three Dog Night mode.
The wiki page reads slightly like something out of the Holders Series.
Thought it would be a good time to plug www.farlandsorbust.com where some guy is walking to the farlands for charity.
www.farlandsorbust.com
Never been there, it just irritates me when people do that.
sorry, I'm a noob.
It's cool. Here's how ya do it.
Further reading.
And some more.
oh my god, that guy sounds exactly like Reverend Lovejoy
You can also just throw HTTP:// on the beginning.
http://farlandsorbust.com
Far out, dude!
Literally!
My first thought: "You found Terraria!"
How big is you save file?
You use commands to teleport there via co-ordinates. Walking to the edge would take forever.
The wiki says it would take over 800 hours. Holy fuck monkey.
one day i will make that journey
It's way too far to walk. Build a minecart track and ride the whole way.
Wouldn't you have to walk there to build the track first?
Go via nether, it'll be even quicker!
Actually, using a mod like WorldEdit, you could probably do that..
More like one month.
One does not simply walk into Far Lands!
I've played TF2 for 600+ hours... oh my.
That's like 200 days playing 4 hours a day.
this guy is walking to the Far Lands for fun and charity.
I have been watching for a few weeks now and I'm falling deeply in love with his neuroses :P
How did I not know about this? I'm adding this to my LPs I watch list.
Reminds me of the knight in Ring World that was walking to the base of the arch.
How awesome would minecraft be if the world was a ring?
Michael Goodfellow has been blogging about creating a Minecraft-like game, and has experimented with a ring-like Generation Ship world.
OMFG THAT IS THE MOST AWESOME THING i'VE EVER SEEN
Oh, I thought people used McEdit and kept going in one direction.
There's a youtube channel called far lands or bust who is doing this, and it is taking a long time. I would link but i'm too lazy to do it on my phone.
Go there through the nether.
If you teleport from 0,0,0, to some obscene number in the far lands, does minecraft generate all the chunks in between, or leave a gap where you haven't actually been?
The game generates chunks based on where the player is. So if you teleport there, it should skip everything in between, since you didn't actually travel there normally.
Leaves a gap.
This I need to know.
It looks like Terraria
...Or does Terraria look like this?
I keep asking this question and I keep getting downvoted, What is Terraria?
You’re probably getting downvoted because of how incredibly easy that term is to Google. Though, I should note that I’m not downvoting you now. :)
http://www.terraria.org/
you got downvoted because copy+paste into google takes less time than it does to type out your question on reddit.
It's a game on Steam that's like a flat, 2D version of Minecraft. Some people hate it some love it.
It's hard to spot, but I see it... To the right, behind the floating island, written in black marker: "Kilroy was here"
looks like a multilevel mob grinder. Just add water, barriers, and kill/collect mechanisms.
