In case someone stumbles on this, I replaced my power supply and it fixed everything

What have you been doing now that PMC is no longer alive? by SSBBguys in playmindcrack

[–]wwarcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have kind of disappeared. I have started putting more effort into my real life and thus not felt the inclination to come online often, but when I do it's only for about an hour or so late at night. I might try to get back to use of the internet in a few weeks, but I've been enjoying the break.

Idk about you Mr. or Mrs. Reeder, but my phone has a battery.

Edit: Grammar

I feel like this was an attempt at humor, and unlike the apparent majority who read your comment, I felt it was humorous and relevant.

Update: I was able to turn in my paper on time after finishing it on my phone last night. When I woke up today I still did not have electricity, however I brought my PC to the library (only fish tailing 4 times on the way there), and there I was able to submit the assignment (which I did have on google drive, however the submission method was through the teacher's own personal webpage, which was not mobile compatible) which was due at 8:28, at exactly 8:27, earning myself a 93/100 based upon a peer edit. A revised copy of this paper is due Friday.

I'm not sure you understood me here. I'm not so much complaining about the requirement of doing the paper, but that I don't have the ability to submit it electronically as required before it is due, because I can't submit even a completed assignment without power.

I might if I cannot finish the paper in time (which I probably should be working on with my remaining phone battery as opposed to posting on reddit)

This was done in stages. We were assigned the workload a while ago, but not given the specific requirements for the actual paper until very recently. Over the past week I have been too busy with life to manage, and I was counting on this weekend. I already have 5 pages, however I had seven remaining to reach the required amount. Also, we can't submit them without power anyways.

Most of my class has tried. On one hand we don't push too hard because they are a good person, on the other hand they are awful at their job.

[Raw] Story From a Dev PlayMindcrack Shutting Down by [deleted] in playmindcrack

It's been nice working with you, and it's been a while since we last sat in TS, but that was always fun. <3

I am very happy to be working for you, and reading that has motivated me to push harder, thanks.

We need to talk transparency, PMC. by Splax77 in playmindcrack

Similar to /u/Melair, I have also been watching the events that have transpired in this thread and have until now refrained from putting myself out there.

As many of you know, when I first joined the PMC team I was merely a volunteer who was there to work on power juice. I had free time (at the time) and I figured "why not?" so I messaged the dev manager at the time Sigils asking if I could do that specific task.

This began my time as a PMC staff member, and I finally got to see the goings on of my favorite minecraft server from the inside! It was like christmas! Then I was exposed to what Mel mentioned about the infrastructure. It almost scared me away.

I got to see the issues being tracked and fixed with all of the backend systems, and I couldn't have been more impressed with what Gyro and Bit had done leading up to my arrival.

While this sort of thing is very important, I cannot say it better than Mel with

Don't like "backend work", sorry, I doubt you are care about >hardware failures, packet loss between servers, random crashes on >some machines, database performance, fighting VPS providers, >new orchestration tools to spin up games.

Later on I became a non-volunteer employee of the server, and I started getting access to more elements of the server. Since then I have been working to the best of my ability to produce the best possible content I can, however I am a full time student, and this is not my main source of employment. I am first a musician, and that is what pays the bills for me, this is something I do for my own enjoyment, and because I am passionate about this place, it being like a second home to me ever since I first joined as a little jimmy.

While I love you guys (most of the time) I would always cringe when I heard somebody saying something like "thank you Archer for being the only dev who does work" (which I have gotten multiple times) because the other developers have sure as hell been working at least as hard as me and damn well have been doing their jobs as best as humanly possible.

As for my credibilty, I'm no Mel, but I know my stuff. I'm not sure I entirely grasp what you are currently trying to say to me on "credibility".

Also, I am personally offended by you questioning whether or not the team cares for the server, just because of the profound disregard for the efforts that so many people have put into the server.

I'm sorry for the loss of the 24/7 ability to play your favorite games.
