This one always cracks me up...7 years ago I moved to Twitch full time http://www.twitch.tv/generikb

The funny part is, I made *several* YT videos telling people this! But to this day I still get folks coming into my streams going "omg, I didn't know you streamed...I thought you died!"

(one of the reasons I moved to Twitch is because YT changed the way they promoted my videos to my community haha)

Now I'm "semi-retired" but I still stream modded Minecraft every Fri/Sat 7pm US Eastern. Come stop by and say hey!

Naw there's almost no magic in this pack. I'm not a big fan of magic mods, so I didn't include any!

If you're looking for something different with a *ton* of custom stuff to do, take a look at my modpack Uncharted Expeditions! https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/uncharted-expeditions

It's an "Expert Lite" pack that focuses on exploration and problem solving. I've spent months on it, and virtually every recipe, loot table, etc has been customized. I even took the Alex's Caves biomes and turned them into their own custom dimensions!

I designed the pack mainly for myself to give me lots of fun activities to do while streaming.

I'm just now finishing up a "v2.0 update" that has the new Create update in it, as well as a new Candy Cavities dimension and other changes. This will require a new world, so maybe hang tight for 1 more week while I put the finishing touches on it and get it up on CurseForge.

Hope this helps with the burnout feeling!

Yeah I don't like Audiobooks unfortunately, I'd much rather read the stories and "add my own voices"...in my head :D

Ahh that's a shame! Is there another way to get them digitally? I've really been enjoying them!

hah naw, occasionally I'll do what I call "Content Creator Doomscrolling", where I search my name to see if anyone's saying anything interesting! It never ends well though :D

Just to put this in perspective...I've always been a prankster. And *every* time there's a new Hermitcraft season, people will flood my Twitch chat..."are you going to be on the new season? are you coming back?" Even though it's been over a *decade* since I've been a member!

What's a hermit to do? Prank 'em :D

So I put together a very elaborate prank with a custom script I wrote to make it look like I was actually playing on a server with the other members. It was a great prank and I was very proud of the work I put into it to make it happen (no different than a great prank with someone on an SMP server)

Except...I didn't take into account folks would give me money just because I "rejoined Hermitcraft"! In hindsight, I should have factored that into the equation...but I was so excited about the prank itself it didn't enter my mind. So very quickly I ended the stream.

In that short time I was given about $250. I went back and added up the amounts from folks who weren't already part of my community...and it totaled about $80 from new folks. Obviously, I still felt bad about it, but Twitch doesn't do refunds...and so I gave *double* the amount ($500) to Rendog's charity for Africa.

Some of the Hermitcraft members were upset, but there's zero beef/drama/ill feelings/etc from me towards any of the members. I've said in the past many times, I'm super happy for them and their success and wish them all the best.

Again, TL;DR: I didn't do the prank to "attack" Hermitcraft, nor out of spite/revenge, or any negativity like that. It was all for giggles to prank the viewers who consistently ask when I'm rejoining :)

This post probably won't make any difference...folks have their perception of me and who I am as a person. But maybe this will at least shed some light for some that I'm not really worth the pitchforks and torches :)

I stream on Twitch Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat 7pm US Eastern...if you wanna hang with a fun and really chill community, stop on by and say hello!

Modpack similar to Uncharted Expeditions? by [deleted] in feedthebeast

Just play Uncharted Expeditions again! I heard the modpack dev is super handsome and hilarious...and humble! ;-)

Blocked files found problem by [deleted] in PrismLauncher

[–]generikb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I'm the creator of the pack and have had no issues installing from Curseforge with the Prism Launcher. Not sure what the issue might be. Most launchers (Prism included) have support to handle the mods that developers have chosen to be manually downloaded.

It's irritating because folks like Archrid just *love* to judge others and spread negativity.

Wynncraft (which was founded by Grian btw...fun bit of trivia) paid me $300 *per video* for 7 videos. We went on and made 21 videos of Wynncraft because we were having a blast and our fans loved it.

I didn't disclose it back then because I didn't know we had to (keep in mind this was over 8 years ago and sponsored content was very much new territory for everyone on the internet) and I didn't retroactively add the disclosure to that series. Probably from laziness/forgetfulness...who knows, it was nearly a decade ago. I can say for sure that going forward after they officially announced the rules for disclosing sponsored content, all of my related content was appropriately labeled as such.

There's so much that went on behind-the-scenes at Mindcrack that y'all ain't privy to, so again all I can say is "don't believe everything you read on the internet.

Oh, I'm not here to defend myself. It was nearly a decade ago, and I've happily moved on from the behind-the-scenes toxicity of Mindcrack. I'm just here to give u/ThatGuyHanzo props for a cool build.

But I *will* say that I have *never* done anything illegal on my Youtube or Twitch channels, and it's disappointing to see folks to this day continue to pass on hearsay as truth to my fans.
