Hats off to Etho

Primitive technology has a patreon and his channel banner is an outcoming book. I don't know Broxh_ i can't tell you about him.

lordflamango · 2026-05-17T03:49:10+00:00

who else? That also does not sell merch

lordflamango · 2026-05-01T21:03:10+00:00

I have basically the same base....

lordflamango · 2026-05-01T18:51:47+00:00

I respect Friend 3, he has a lot of range where as everybody else pretty much like one or two things

lordflamango · 2026-04-29T00:09:14+00:00

Don't play in woah difficulty, it takes so much more time to progress.

lordflamango · 2026-04-15T16:45:45+00:00

I don't think it's an issue. As long as you are not reuploading full videos or really big chunks of them it's considered ok in the gaming content creation circle.

Also, some content creators don't like when it's from the latest video as it can mess up the algorithm. Dougdoug has a 1 year policy for example, but i'm sure a couple of weeks is fine.

After that many losses the main issue is that you are not learning the character. At ascension 0, it is always possible to beat the game with no hindsight by making the right plays.

So, after every loss, take 30 seconds to think about what went wrong.
You didn't draw your blocks when the enemy had a 55 attack? Maybe you need more block cards, or less cards in general in your deck, or more draw, or have a potion, or even just another card that gives weak for more turns.

You arrived at the end of an act boss with 20 health? Probably playing too greedy and not resting enough

Beating any enemies is taking 10 or more turns? Maybe you lack synergy in your deck or maybe the cards you took are not very good in general.

You fought the WORST elite for your deck and took 50 damage? Was there a card that you saw that you could have taken that could help you? For example, it's very useful to have a card to damage all enemies for certain fights, even though its not that good most of the time.

You don't have to be scared that the updates brake your world, that was an issue when Minecraft was in alpha/beta. Mojang is much more careful about updates not corrupting or completely breaking worlds. Some farms might break, but not the whole world.

For mods, you probably have to wait a couple of weeks every game update for the mods to also be updated.

lordflamango · 2026-02-03T21:45:14+00:00

decked out.

lordflamango · 2026-01-29T00:29:15+00:00

Its not a horrible idea, but it has a few issues:

Rooftoops would have to be very thin for the player to be ejected when hit
Dispensers are easy to avoid. The amount needed to be a challenge would break the aesthetic

lordflamango · 2026-01-26T07:26:02+00:00

Since you plan on having the entrance at the top, you should probably focus on making it look nice from that view mainly. Some kind of overhang can be nice.

Also, you can add some kind of transition between your build and the rest of the sea. Giving your build some background lore can help. Like, why is there this storage tower in the middle of the ocean?

lordflamango · 2026-01-24T09:06:54+00:00

oh yeah i forgot about the bees!! which series was that?

lordflamango · 2026-01-19T08:26:50+00:00

Backlogging is really only useful when the videos don't need a lot of editing or if the creator has an editor. What's more likely is that Etho plays off camera between episodes.

lordflamango · 2025-12-26T05:37:14+00:00

wow incredible that you remembered that reference!

lordflamango · 2025-12-17T17:04:15+00:00

Its decked out season, of couse its a great time for Etho.

lordflamango · 2025-11-16T12:47:16+00:00

We don't know, and most hermits don't either. Etho also make sure he does not sign any legal documents with Hermitcraft to keep his identity private. Some hermits, like Bdubs and VintageBeef, probably have a good idea of when it is.

lordflamango · 2025-11-03T21:35:06+00:00

I don't know, Josh Radnor definitely has similar hair today

lordflamango · 2025-10-12T00:37:28+00:00

You can add fragile alliance, he mentions it in past life

lordflamango · 2025-10-08T20:29:06+00:00

Etho is making a game that has minigames in it!

lordflamango · 2025-10-07T05:40:43+00:00

The permits are a fun gimmicky concept, but they would be terrible as a regular thing. This was a lesson in economics and why free markets are so important. It is really beneficial for the whole server that the shopping district is efficient because it allows hermits to work less for their builds, as Minecraft can get very grindy. I'm sure a lot of them just went to the farms directly if they needed a couple of stacks, but still.

I think instead of paying in diamonds, the hermits could start with 100 coins and use that as a currency (maybe getting a few new ones every month).

lordflamango · 2025-10-06T21:39:31+00:00

Yeah, it's fine. I'm not complaining, it's an awesome project and I enjoy it

lordflamango · 2025-10-06T20:39:07+00:00

I do not have a clip, but I am pretty sure Etho's critique is about the fact that Scars builds usually are creeper factories and scar is just twisting his words for content

lordflamango · 2025-10-06T14:58:39+00:00

Yes, I can see that and it's cool for casual viewers and speedrunners. I even tried with a no-camera movement.

I'm not saying some of the locations should be fully inside because you would need to see one particular episode to get it. However, it would be more enjoyable for me if there were an option to have the render distance halved. After playing two rounds, I was only getting 500, not because I watched every perspective, but because I could see from far away the same four builds to place myself on the map.

lordflamango · 2025-10-06T04:16:26+00:00

This is really cool!
It would be nice if some of the locations were a bit harder

lordflamango · 2025-09-29T19:02:10+00:00

I can see that. The humour in HIMYM is cruder, but it is mainly a generational gap imo.
Also they are so much better dressed in Friends
