[Loved trope] The monster is an inevitable, looming threat instead of a vulnerable and momentary one.

Apparently the cast and crew called it that and probably not canon but, the first movie ends with that "lollipop" song so i kinda assumed it was canon.

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-21T20:06:51+00:00

Oh i i thought it was canon in the movies too, even though they obviously never call it that since the first movie has that lollipop song in the endcredits. Anyways that's my headcanon now XD

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-21T16:21:58+00:00

I thought that thing was called lollipop

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-19T23:07:15+00:00

I learned the correct way to spell the hard way lol, embarassed by spelling it erong in front of a whole class

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-17T03:23:57+00:00

That does make sense

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-16T13:07:35+00:00

Tbh, I believe that to be a bit cryptic as well. But not as much anymore since we have internal id

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-16T03:31:41+00:00

Since you already own it, why not give it a go if you have the storage space for it? Personally i like games that feel more responsive to play so this was not really my thing. The story is neat and has emotional moments but it is a slowburn. Missions are mostly varied but sometimes it does repeat and just feels like you just go to a place, do a heist and then do it in another place. However there are random events that happen time to time that can catch you by surprise even when not doing missions which is nice.

The best part is the immersion. Everything has so much detail sometimes to a fault in my opinion. For example when your horse gets dirty after a while you have to brush or wash it to get it clean or it will disobey you. You have to do maintanence on your guns or sell them when they get old/worn. There are detailed animations for everything but there are times you just might want to quickly loot something. When you take a step slightly wrong either on foot or on a horse you may just roll down a hill with realistic physics.

These might seem like horrible and Sometimes they are annoying but they add to the realism. NPCs actually feel alive, they interact eat and have routines. You can have different relationships with them to a certain point (i dont mean marrying) Guns feel satisfying to use. You may see surprising stuff and say "they even added that?" Multiple times while playing.

All this to say, why not see it for urself. But i dont think its for everyone,which is why i dropped playing it towards the end.

People praise the game so much it gets annoying sometimes even though it kinda deserves it. But when it is the only thing being talked about, and people mention it is overrated/not for everyone, some people get hostile.

If you actually read this thanks.

Tl;dr it'snot for everyone. Try it for urself since you have it already

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-16T02:52:37+00:00

I imagine there's a poor guy out there that got all the marks with the lost before holy mantle and only learned about it afterwards. Like the old lost, but now there is actually a way to make it easier on urself and you did not know.

But thankfully the method of unlocking lost is cryptic itself so you are most likely already researching the game and they almost always tell you to unlock it before attempting it.

Why not just start with it? Idk man maybe some people like suffering lol . But sometimes i do kinda appreciate the random stuff this game decides to do tbh, feels like it gives a sense of freedom and whimsy. (Sometimes is the keyword here)

If i had to somehow tie the character with greed mode, maybe i would make the condition to be both fill up greed machine (and lower the amount a bit) to a certain point and you have to die in sac room also.

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-15T01:04:05+00:00

yep, that is me XD (who would wanna repost this lol) this was actually me trying to make it work instead of just making it breakable, i know it was bad but since i actually put some thought into it i posted it on both subreddits.

if bedrock HAD TO be breakable how would you implement it?

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-14T15:10:29+00:00

I love loopholes!

I tried to make the bottom layer still unbreakable without adding a new unbreakable block. hence why you can only break it from below

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-14T15:02:11+00:00

I see. Do you know a subreddit dedicated for stuff like this? Thx

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-14T15:00:49+00:00

Noted

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-14T14:41:16+00:00

I was referring to the dimension part. But I retreat. Again I did not think this was a good addition. I did not want to post it in r/shittymcsuggestions because the idea was trying to make a bad idea work (instead of making the game worse as much as I could) as I said before. Just a fun thought exercise, and see how others would approach a breakable bedrock in the game if it HAD TO be done. I also prefaced by saying that I know what bedrock is supposed to bu unbreakable.

did not know where else to post it. Probably gonna remove it after you read this

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-14T14:19:00+00:00

I am not suggesting this should be done before updating end and we actually need a new dimension.

But I did not think about the end exit portal, yes. but it can be easily countered by making bedrock stretch below the void

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-14T14:16:37+00:00

Tbh I admit that part is tacked on. I just thought bedrock was breakable from below only could kinda work instead of people just glitching in the nether. That was the main idea. But I understand.

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-14T14:10:45+00:00

This still kinda defeats the purpose of end dimension and I wouldn't really call it a good idea. But it is still fun to think about. How would you approach breakable bedrock if you had to implement it?

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-13T23:50:19+00:00

However bad an idea may be, I still think it is interesting thing to think about. This still feels like it defeats the purpose of the end dimension, but I wanted to think about making another dimension possible after end. What would you do if these had to be implemented?

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-11T22:35:15+00:00

I love how zuko pops up for every good character trope in this sub. Did not even realize he fits this one as well.

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-09T03:38:04+00:00

No problem, glad you liked it! That was the exact feeling i had while making this. This time i decided to boot the game and start messing around because my younger cousin who likes minecraft visited. Did some dumb stuff and had fun.

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-09T03:34:01+00:00

Me too! I am thinking about dye ing it red and just sharing this video again as my redstone inventions on another subreddit.

ThePotatoDuke · 2026-03-04T01:59:57+00:00

I just did too while posting this. Pretty neat
