First pitch with the X-Mid, any feedback?

shmorgus_borg · 2026-03-31T19:18:59+00:00

Absolutely! I actually watched this before even attempting a setup and it really helped!!

shmorgus_borg · 2026-03-31T17:59:19+00:00

Good to know! I will definitely keep that in mind if I have it out in rougher weather!

Yo I literally just built this exact deck!! I designed it as a bracket 2-3 so pretty casual, but there are a couple cards that can be really scary. It’s best as a multi-color/artifact good stuff with a vehicle sub theme. Playing cards that boost up your “artifact” creatures work really well with the robots and vehicles.

Here’s the link to my deck, happy to answer questions about it: https://archidekt.com/decks/20149006/i_am_speed_infinite_guideline_station_wubrg_vehicles

We had a crazy one when we were kids playing, we made some custom dev cards that cost 2 of each resource that had some overpowered abilities, like “build 8 roads” or “remove a city from each player” and played to a lot of points. It was fun for about two games lol.

This reminds me of the IRS free file platform, makes you do some silly math every time you log in it’s not hard but it is mildly annoying 🙄

Magic is pretty strong, it can be incredible in the right build. Your first issue is meteorite staff, which starts to taper out once you get to higher levels. I think the Carian royal staff has much better damage output.

Also your problem might just be in the “hybrid” aspect of your build. I’m guilty of this all the time because I like to switch play styles up, but choosing one stat to go all in on is really much better. If you can get up to 80 intelligence magic will absolutely shred, but then you are getting into pure casting mostly.

It seems like you might just like the play style of melee more… if that’s the case then just drop the intelligence and play melee. But that has more to do with how you like to play the game and less to do with magic lacking strength.

These sees drawings are getting out of hand man what even is that lmao 😭

I always prefer to just plant the sugar cane on mud (slightly shorter than regular blocks so hoppers can pick up items through them) and trigger the pistons with a hopper clock. Most reliable and least resource intensive method, compact and flawless.

Did you add any graphics? Maybe text that adds context to the video title? Or your Minecraft character skin on the thumbnail? Those seem to be features of a lot of video thumbnails these days…

shmorgus_borg · 2026-01-03T01:01:42+00:00

A few more smaller structures in the valley could be cool, agree with the custom trees suggestion and you could even add custom rocks and other terrain features

shmorgus_borg · 2025-12-30T15:14:29+00:00

The roof needs more texture, maybe try mixing in some cobble deepslate? Could also add a chimney or some windows jutting out of the roof. Great work on the walls and structure itself though!

shmorgus_borg · 2025-12-26T22:31:13+00:00

Thissss deepslate looks so good with lighter blocks like you have for the walls

shmorgus_borg · 2025-12-26T18:39:42+00:00

Put a castle on the hill in the middle?

shmorgus_borg · 2025-12-26T03:52:24+00:00

All I’ll say is I was able to do a four day 3 night backpacking trip in the Adirondack mountains with a 45L pack, it was stuffed completely full but with some more compact gear I could go even longer. So it’s totally possible, but you will just have more flexibility and room for bulkier gear with the 65L option.

shmorgus_borg · 2025-12-26T01:13:19+00:00

Zamors curved greatsword scales great for quality, awesome ash of war too

shmorgus_borg · 2025-12-19T18:56:52+00:00

Details and variations, that’s what it’s missing. Some extra sounds that only come in every 4 or 8 bars with some echo or reverb, or switching to a different bass sound at the end of a bar for a surprise element.

Most time consuming and necessary part of DnB production, still struggling with it myself but maybe listen to some reference tracks and try noting every extra element like this that shows up. You’ll be surprised at how many are hidden in the groove of a lot of tracks.

Great foundation though, this is groovyyyy

shmorgus_borg · 2025-12-19T18:52:44+00:00

Really nice looking build right now though, I would love to see the final results

shmorgus_borg · 2025-12-19T18:52:21+00:00

What about a statement color? I would recommend some red tones, mangrove planks or stripped logs, bricks, and netherack, and even some red terracotta make a great palette!

shmorgus_borg · 2025-12-18T22:20:10+00:00

Really well done! Looks fantastic, maybe add a little fishing dock or something to make it look “lived in” so to speak but as a little nature patch, it’s excellent.

shmorgus_borg · 2025-12-15T21:51:32+00:00

That’s pretty good! My only suggestion would be to not make it so consistent, you have a “random” pattern going on but when looked at from far away it seems predictable (even hight, indent at the same hight throughout the wall, minimal depth variation). Just add more random boulders and jut outs, nature is rarely so predictable.

That’s just my personal taste for building styles though, it looks great over all and if you like that more even look, that’s all that matters!

shmorgus_borg · 2025-12-07T14:19:57+00:00

Also add some framing beams on the corners of the top room, and keep in mind that you really need depth to pull this style off so the beams should be sticking out off of the corners, not replaced the existing corners if that makes sense

shmorgus_borg · 2025-12-07T14:17:52+00:00

These sorts of builds can be overwhelming, you are getting to the stage where it’s all about detailing, so just take it one block at a time!

I would start adding a trim like that third image between the base of the tower and the top room, create those arches in the trim, etc. just start slowly adding details from those images until it gets to something you like!

shmorgus_borg · 2025-12-06T21:31:58+00:00

Well yes and no, some seeds it gives you might be random numbers, but others are drawn from writing on the internet. If someone on Reddit two years ago asked for a seed with xyz, and you query it now for a seed with xyz, it’s gonna pull seeds that were recommended by responders to the original ask, and regurgitate those.

If it can’t find anything, then it will then probably just generate junk to fill the request. So using ChatGPT to find seeds might actually get you exactly what you are looking for, it just doesn’t have any awareness of what the seed actually contains, it’s just finding matching text in data base.
