Streamer’s log: village re-allocation continues

Howdy, y’all!

Joe Hills here, recording as I always do in Nashville, Tennessee!

This was a bit of a recovery stream after an exhaustively packed but productive weekend, so I focused on removing stone and preparing to relocate villagers to new beacon-based accommodations.

While I dug and hacked, I mentioned my need to archive my old Evernote documents and we discussed the need to preserve early HermitCraft notes for later, just in case. We ended up searching for HermitCraft on scholarly search engines and chatted about the results for about two hours.

It was a great time, very chill and just what I needed.

Until next time, y’all, this is Joe Hills from Nashville, Tennessee.

Keep adventuring!

Streamer’s Log: Grind and Read of Moby Dick chapters 78-80

Howdy, y’all! Joe Hills here writing as I always do in Nashville, TN!

Today’s stream was my weekly Saturday Grind and Read, so we jumped in to inventory management, removing stone, and reading Moby Dick chapters 78-80. This is the one stream a week where I completely avoid music, so there’s even a VOD if you want one!

We got a lot of mining done, but I was hampered a bit on pacing by having to avoid hitting villagers and iron golems. I probably need to figure out a relocation target for all of them.

Chapter 78 was kind of horrifying, but 79 and 80 were just old-timey weird. I’m looking forward to chapter 81, about a few ships converging and all chasing the same whales. but it seems like it’s one of the books’ longer chapters and we already had spent 2/3s of the stream on the first three chapters.

With chapter 81 too long to start tonight, I decided for the last third of the stream to disassemble and clean the keyboard I spilled soda into a few days ago. Thanks to Badger helping me find cotton swabs, I was able to make short work of the clean-up, removing about a quarter of the keycaps to clean up the soda residue. Only two switches were sticking themselves, so I swapped those out with fresh ones. I’m not sure if I can repair those somehow.

If you enjoyed tonight’s stream, you can also check out my entire Moby Dick playlist. Plus, you can keep an eye out for my next show via my streaming calendar at https://joehills.net/soon/
