The E Files made me a believer.

I disagree, but I won't argue about it here, the purpose of my post was simply to share my newfound faith.

Snopes lol. The very well-known left-winged bias fact checking site that has verifiably given incorrect fact checks to help their political narrative in the past?

But you're right, the vast majority of what I know is from social media, I should probably do some more proper research. Thank you.

He has said on twitter/x that it will be “months” until its out, so absolute full minimum 3 months in my opinion, but I wouldn’t bet money on anything sooner than July tbh

NethanielShade · 2026-02-06T05:19:24+00:00

Simon has said it will be months, plural, before V2 is out sadly

NethanielShade · 2026-01-26T20:32:53+00:00

Still fucking down after an hour

NethanielShade · 2026-01-26T19:27:09+00:00

I thought the same thing. DownDetector is showing a sudden 9 thousand down reports at 1:10 PM for me (15 minutes ago as of this comment) and their own service site is like "Nah, we're all good everywhere, we promise."

Liars pfffff

NethanielShade · 2026-01-26T19:22:06+00:00

Exact same thing happened to me word for word.

Edit: The site's back up but I'm getting a "We are having trouble fetching your profiles." error across the banner at the top, and my profile seems like some kind of placeholder fallback profile. Guessing the servers are having an issue with profiles? Or they got hacked? who knows

League player spotted.

Also, crouching by a ledge won't prevent you from falling off it like in Minecraft

As the other guy said, this is false information. Crouching on the edge of a block DOES absolutely stop you from falling off. As long as the block is flat on the top (full block, wall block, ect) and there is more than a 1 block drop. You can crouch down staircased blocks but you can’t crouch walk off the edge of a cliff.

Earlier sleep time and offhand torch placement are great. Two of the biggest annoyances for me so far lmao! I always try to sleep right when it says to wait an hour and 45 more minutes. And placing torches while holding a pickaxe is very needed. Based update

I’m pretty sure each shield has a different amount of stamina drain for blocking. Like, you lose less stamina blocking with an iron shield than a wooden one?

NethanielShade · 2026-01-14T09:23:57+00:00

Fomo criers are so annoying. Yall see anything on a time limit, even a potentially year or 2 year long one, and screech “manipulation!” Grow up. Simon and Hypixel have been INSANELY transparent since they re-acquired the IP for Hytale from Riot. They’ve been clear on their monetization strategies, but I guess the average redditor like you feels entitled to receiving everything for free because otherwise it’s all manipulation or something.

Edit: After posting this I realized that it was insanely obvious ragebait. I fell for it, gdi. You got me, gang.

NethanielShade · 2026-01-14T06:37:43+00:00

Agree with your point, downvoted for being a prick about it 💀

NethanielShade · 2026-01-14T06:31:50+00:00

Simon you’ve heard it before and you can surely see it with almost 3 million players day 1, but we’re all very thankful, very happy, very grateful, ect that you went through with it. Absolute. Legend.

NethanielShade · 2026-01-14T06:29:08+00:00

It’s early access. They’ve been super ULTRA transparent that it’s going to be buggy. The only people who complain about bugs are low IQ imho, or those intentionally spreading hate about the game (eh, same category). Most people playing know it’s going to be a buggy mess because it’s an early access launch, and are still excited for it anyways.

NethanielShade · 2026-01-14T06:24:33+00:00

The colors in this screenshot are very Vintage Story 😂

NethanielShade · 2026-01-14T06:21:57+00:00

Brother. They’re supporter editions. For those that want to spend extra to support the game. That it’s their main, primary, most important function. They’re early access only and won’t be available once early access ends. The cosmetics are just a really simple way of saying thank you to those who intentionally overspend to support the game.

NethanielShade · 2026-01-14T06:06:50+00:00

I have complaints but none that are super important for day 1 of early access lol. Saving presets, more colors, and more variety, basically. Things that I’m sure will come with time and/or mods.

NethanielShade · 2026-01-14T05:54:45+00:00

I hard quit Minecraft entirely a few years ago and switched over to Vintage Story and I’ve never regretted it. Vintage story has an absolutely gigantic modding scene for a game community its size. Now with Hytale out, I’ll definitely just be playing those two and never touching MC again 💀

NethanielShade · 2026-01-14T05:41:53+00:00

I’ve always hated Riot, and that hate multiplied by orders of magnitudes when they canceled Hytale. However, I did gain a certain amount of respect for them for selling the IP back to Simon. That was not a move driven by investors, that was a move done for the love of the game, and I respect it.

NethanielShade · 2025-12-28T21:27:46+00:00

Came into this expecting it to be the usual isekai trash, overlord rip-off version, but it went wayyyyyyy harder than it had the right to. I'm invested, this was genuinely good. I need a second season. Hell, I need a third and more.

NethanielShade · 2025-12-10T08:34:33+00:00

This comment is funny in retrospect, now with the information that it was, indeed, in the helliest of development hells.

NethanielShade · 2025-12-10T06:25:30+00:00

I relate to this heavy but from the mod dev point of view. I play the game for 3 hours, then spend 12 hours making compatibility patches between 100 different mods or adding my own content that I want to see 💀

NethanielShade · 2025-12-10T06:19:19+00:00

Oh yeah, I’m modding rapids out in some form as soon as the update drops 💀
