yes this is the third time I'm posting it because I got really clumsy with leaflet and moved the post around so the link died but anyway this was the product of reading aeneas-nin.bsky.social 's piece and getting really inspired by it (it's not a response, more an offshoot)

I kinda took for granted how well designed the minecraft end portal room is. Because it's existed for so long (15 years!) I never considered it much but with the context of 1.0 minecraft they made a lot of decisions that weren't necessarily intuitive but work really well. A few things I noticed:

over the hill is so so fun. driving around with friends and exploring the environments feels super contemplative. I wish I got some pictures of sunset because it's especially gorgeous looking then

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Little late on this but WOW rhythm doctor 1.0 was so good. Absolutely incredible experience, in general the way RD handles tutorialisation of new elements is just best in class. Such a great finale too
