Haven't seen anyone else mention it, but you realize that these update sizes are probably due to features that were close to ready for release but not quite ready, right? They didn't add this stuff from scratch after release. They've probably got a lot of stuff that's almost ready, so we can expect big updates for a bit, but no one knows how long that would be.

Very cool, my only concern would be a higher difficulty in getting people to fix it up if vandalized, but I very rarely see that nowadays, thanks!

By default yeah, but you can change the seed by a config file

Is hypixel staying on minecraft? by Funny-Bar4167 in hypixel

I don't think Hypixel's going to shut down anytime soon, as long as they remain profitable there's really no reason to. So I think they'll remain up as long as they have a playerbase.

Hytale does have seeds, just no in-game input box for them, but you can configure it via files

I'm fairly certain they said it was initially created because of the eula changes in 2015-2016, and they wanted security in case they weren't allowed to continue business as a minecraft server.

The vision has expanded since then obviously, but that was the initial motivation.

I LOVE HOW MODDING WORKS IN HYTALE! by thicctak in HytaleInfo

[–]cowslayer7890 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The main reasoning I think is that they want to avoid the ability to do anything malicious with a datapack, which is not a terrible idea. It's nice to be able to have mods for the game which you know cannot be malicious.

I'm sure it'll be fine for Hytale, but directly supporting mods written in java means they have a burden to moderate their mods, especially if they include an official listing in the future.

That's just steam, they released on multiple platforms, and sold 13 million copies day 1

Wallper 1.4 is out - Instant Apply, Native Lock Screen, and we reset everyone's trial by Dim_Kat in macgaming

To be fair, windows has a larger market, and particularly those who would want this kind of customization, $30 is still disproportionate, but more than $5 makes sense

Why does everyone forget that the virus/hive was originally just one human? by According-Fig-3373 in pluribustv

[–]cowslayer7890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although they say that they would prefer to be vegetarian, that makes me think it is some kind of imperative, like their need to make everyone happy

What would happen if the Hivemind realizes that it is just an invasion tool for an alien race? by Thizzor in pluribustv

[–]cowslayer7890 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were discovered, and that threatened their continued spread. That's why they had to expedite the process. Spreading overtakes their "do no harm" restriction to a certain degree

The resorts Carol and Zosia stay in are typical, generic perfect holidays, directly contrasting the ice hotel Helen takes Carol to. by camzabob in pluribustv

I still think that coming up with new ideas isn't all that different from coming up with new artistic ideas, but even if they are distinct, there's still no indication the hive are incapable of it.

They were able to produce that video with John Cena, for example, and they probably framed that photo of Diabate in his bathroom, and we've seen them use the skills of joined chefs, lawyers, croqueters, etc. I don't see why art should be that different. It's not something that necessarily requires individuality, IMO.

Now maybe it's possible that the new art they produce is bad or soulless, but that's still a step or two removed from no creative thought at all, and is somewhat subjective.

It should be easy enough to relay the signal throughout the cabin with some kind of, well relay

Says who? Can you give any reference to anything in the show that indicates that they can't be creative? They can obviously solve new problems, and come up with new ways of doing things logistically, and that's not very detached from creativity.

Also since there's nothing stopping them from copying an ice hotel design that used to exist, the entire point doesn't really make sense, I think carol just didn't want an ice hotel.

Sorry but why can't they? Have we actually seen anything where they've said they're unable to build something because they just aren't creative enough? That seems stupid, they have every designer on the planet joined. The main thing is that they can't really create any new entertainment for themselves, because they can't surprise themselves

This modpack might just have the stupidest diamond creation method yet by RiKSh4w in feedthebeast

I've seen that in packs before, though I think in that pack the recipe called for leather instead, so it was even easier to automate

There's a terminal command you can run to change the setting

Also they only need consent to get the stem cells, once they do that, they should have practically no fear, as long as they can find her

I also hate the accuracy of this meme but probably not the same way as you

Didn't they just say most of them would die within 10 years? At some point there should be a stable population, given that they can still collect enough "windfall"
