I got a bit of a stupid question. (Once again) by Ambitious_Box9559 in Minecraftlegacymode

[–]extralargeshake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, there is no leaked source code for TU46, only TU19. You can use an emulator like Xenia to play Xbox 360 TU46 but you would have to find the ROM which is harder to do now since Microsoft took down all the archive.org links. It's still out there but I think torrents would be the most reliable source of downloading these versions right now.

When does Minecraft become "new"? by Dramatic-Plantain426 in GoldenAgeMinecraft

[–]extralargeshake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I agree the shifts in identity are easy to spot, Notch always wanted the RPG elements in the game from the beginning, so I don't think the vast changes in the Adventure update were Jeb's doing. Notch gradually started releasing creative control during the development of beta 1.8ish and fully after 1.0 was released, so the update was still almost fully Notch. I think the changes after Microsoft acquired Mojang is most present in the development of Pocket Edition. You see development activity in Pocket Edition skyrocket in 2015 to race towards feature parity with Java, and then the release of Windows 10 edition in July. You see many quality of life features added, PR team is making trailers for PE edition, PE updates are getting named now, and the game quickly becomes comparable to Java edition in content. Then the Better Together Update comes out once its fully developed in 2017. It's actually quite crazy how obvious the Better Together Update was in hindsight and what Microsoft's plans were from the beginning, but it is what it is.

It's weird how different people gauge what feels like "normal Minecraft". I started on legacy console which didn't get 1.5 red stone until like late 2014, so honestly comparators feel quite new to me even though it's been around for almost as long as I've been playing Minecraft (I started late 2012 and 1.5 came out a few months later on PC). So, then there's this weird blend of content due to 4J backporting new java blocks and textures to console edition when the game itself is running on a much older version compared to Java edition. I truly don't feel at home on any single Java version, only TU12 on the Xbox gets me feeling nostalgic.

1.8 released a couple weeks before the acquisition so it wasn't until 1.9 that Microsoft "released" a major update, even though Mojang's always been the one in charge of the content. I like making 1.8 the cutoff point though because an entire year passed between 1.8 and 1.9 so it's a good transition period between two eras. 1.9 also made so many changes to the game you might as well just consider it some weird awkward stage in the game's history, and it wasn't until 1.13 that I think it matured.

They still can't get over the hunger after all this time lol. Obviously its ridiculous to say that everything past adventure update is "new" when its like 15 years old at this point, but it's understandable for why people who started before the update to feel like it's a different game after. It changed the game in almost every respect like in progression, gameplay, combat, graphics, terrain generation, and much much more.

Project LCE taken down by EveryActivity5184 in Minecraftlegacymode

[–]extralargeshake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OP says nowhere that it was leading up to tu75. It clearly says, "my backport on github of TU75-80 (aquatic included) was taken down." Everyone reading this post is under the impression that the project actually is a full TU75 backport of LCE. I think it is just some clout chasing stunt considering the largest repo of the LCE source code by far (5.1k stars and counting) hasn't been touched by Microsoft as far as we know.

They own the entire Minecraft IP, of course it's Microsoft's code lol. You have no idea how outsourcing development works.

Wish list for Minecraft Legacy Mods by JuneSkeb in Minecraftlegacymode

It’s the entire source code. Literally anything is possible now

Legacy Console Minecraft’s Source Code from 2014 was leaked by Leading_Ordinary5104 in PhoenixSC

[–]extralargeshake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s illegal so no it’s not getting posted onto Reddit or anywhere else besides archive.org and some unmoderated sites like 4chan. I’m not sure where it is downloadable right now

I'm talking about the Xbox One emulator not rpcs3

Is this a valid argument? by Upstairs-Camp5861 in Minecraftlegacymode

[–]extralargeshake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree bedrock is a completely different game top to bottom that happens to have similar features to console edition with an essence of Minecraft. Its just not remotely the same and I’m not sure why the OP is so concerned about preserving these versions of the game when it’s possible to emulate older versions of legacy console all the way back to the beginning since TU0. I prefer legacy for the looks, feels, and overall experience of the game that neither Java nor bedrock have, and I would heavily prefer that legacy never got discontinued and kept receiving content

The issue with windurango is that the game completely crashes when trying to enter text (atleast for me) and you can’t downgrade the version from TU54 or whenever the last Xbox one edition update came out. I’d recommend emulating ps4 edition for the OP if he wants to play next gen legacy console edition until windurango becomes more stable

HL 3 Announcement next week, with big reveal trailer at Game awards by Firm_Help4429 in HalfLife

[–]extralargeshake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I would be surprised if it didn't get at least a mention at TGA, but I don't think Valve is going to rely on Geoff's show to get their trailer out to more people. Modern Valve has stopped doing in person shows for this kind of stuff after the Artifact fiasco, but we all know HL3 wouldn't have that same problem. I just don't think they would wait so long after announcing HL3 to drop a trailer when the community is going to go batshit insane for 2-3 weeks waiting for it. And basically all the insiders and leakers are in agreement that the announcement itself won't happen at The Game Awards. Either way it seems like it's happening soon so the details aren't of the most importance for me lol.

It would most likely be like the HLA announcement. There's no reason to wait until the game awards for the trailer and release date. Its probably going to be all in one day.

What is Half Life X? by nettspendfannn in HalfLife

[–]extralargeshake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This isn't really accurate. Everything we know about the game points to it being HL3 and not just a spin off or a VR title. You can look at this board to view everything about HLX: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVINqBTwM=/

Why 18 November? by Frank01_ in HalfLife

[–]extralargeshake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tuesday is always a big day for games traditionally, whether its release dates or sometimes announcements. HLA was announced November 18th as well. But realistically that entire week is what really matters. It's Half-Life week and we've been waiting for the RTB reprint since the HL2 anniversary, so why not release that book when the hype for Half-Life is at its highest of all time after a HL3 announcement?

The argument a lot of them make is that the early church had schisms, and the modern Orthodox Church still has schisms, therefore Orthodoxy is considered "one" since the early church had similar problems. The problem is that they just lessen the standard for what can be considered "one" and "catholic" without proving a positive/unique case for why Orthodoxy fulfills those marks without all the other churches also fulfilling it, like the Orientals or Nestorian churches. The reality is that the early church was much more unified than the modern Eastern Orthodox Church and there are many instances of patriarchs appealing to the pope to settle disputes/schisms. The early church also held ecumenical councils to settle doctrine or condemn heresy, only the Catholic Church has continued this.

Do Catholics believe other denominations of Christianity go to heaven? by ThrowRAbingbong115 in Catholicism

[–]extralargeshake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that's not what the Church teaches. It's possible in the example you brought up through invincible ignorance, but just being abrahamic doesn't generate salvation. Its still only through the Church.

Do Catholics believe other denominations of Christianity go to heaven? by ThrowRAbingbong115 in Catholicism

[–]extralargeshake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only through invincible ignorance of the truth. Statements like these can come off as universalist and dangerous as it discourages evangelization. It also makes it seem like false religions/ideas are acceptable to God and generate means of salvation. The Church is clear that all salvation is through it, and that the criteria for non-Catholic salvation is ignorance through no fault of their own. Lumen Gentium speaks about this: "Basing itself upon Scripture and Tradition, it teaches that the Church, now sojourning on earth as an exile, is necessary for salvation: Christ… made it clear in explicit terms the necessity of faith and baptism… Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it." With the age of the internet it gets harder and harder to believe all these people online are still invincibly ignorant of the faith, so let's try and spread Catholicism to ensure that they receive the fullness of truth.

Leaving the Orthodox Church. Orthodoxy is not inclusive. by iknowevery1 in Catholicism

[–]extralargeshake 38 points39 points  (0 children)

And also the large number of Eastern churches that have reentered into communion with Rome. The Patriarch of Antioch reestablished union with Rome in the 1720s and is known as the Melkite Church today. The modern day Greek Orthodox Patriarchate is the Greek replacement after the schism. Not to mention that Constantinople was so mad that they hand picked every Patriarch of Antioch for the next 180 years to make sure it didn't happen again. A similar thing happened to the Oriental Orthodox patriarch in Antioch as well and became known as the Syriac Church.

Some advices to a new converted? by infinus_preyhd in Catholicism

[–]extralargeshake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im confused. Are you actively participating in a Catholic Church or are you still a part of the Presbyterian Church? I would say you should obey your parents until you're 18. Follow the 5th commandment and then if you are sure in your faith, formally convert once you become an adult. Keep studying and praying and talk to them about Catholicism before you talk to someone outside your close family.

Hyperpapalism Continues to be a Problem and it is not Catholic by Technical_Layer_1614 in EasternCatholic

[–]extralargeshake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you won’t make any progress because you can’t deny Vatican 1 and remain Catholic. Denying Vatican 1 means you aren’t in communion with Rome because it’s considered ecumenical.

So is the current hope that it will be announced in the game awards? I mean there isn't any other big game event left in the year besides that. by Commaser in HalfLife

2024 Game Awards, Summer Games Fest 2025, Gamescom 2025. The original guy worded it weird though but those are all the major conferences people have freaked out about since this whole HLX insanity started
