Minecraft - Episode 2 [V.H.]: same shit, different server 

World: An Island Named Ethos
Tag: Vanilla Hedgehog
Recorded: April 4th, 2024
NOTES:
- The recording between this & the 1st got trashed after anxiously sitting on it for a while - too embarrassing to post. It was creative mode with me learning redstone.
- The part near the end with the rain, cat meowing & the piano in the back made that moment so beautiful, yet bittersweet for no reason. Mad I didn't let the sun rise by itself (if I'd heard it I would've), so the rain wouldn't cut off as early. (song was "A familiar room" by Aaron Cherof)
- The lightning cutting through all that coal mining is a surprisingly good refreshment for the ears, even if it is loud & happens randomly; besides, rain & lightning is rather soothing to listen to, imo.
- I experimented with listening to it with no visuals (black screen), & it seemed fine, though the aggressive mob & player sounds were kinda annoyin. I'll leave this as the final test then, so if any on-screen texts ends up stupid or whatever... Idk, it ain't meant to be WATCHED anyway, just a background static.
- The part with the bats unfortunately had tons of random loud sparks so i had to cut all that out.
UNRELATED notes:
- I'm only uploading this now cause I have another thing I'm about to post real soon.
- I'm gonna be out for the summer trynna work on music - mostly for project reasons - so no uploads for a WHILE while, as I'm also working on 15 different complex animations n writings n shizz too. We'll see if I even get the demos out (there's more than a high chance of me chickening out) before the year ends n all that.
- Had some crisis thoughts on this, debating whether or not to allow myself to chatter or nah; gotta keep listening to Techno, Etho, 80s home videos, & others to gain any kinda... support for the idea, cause I keep forgetting what I even started for - essentially 80s home videos in the modern era, no bs no nuttin', just an archive for myself & no one else.
- Etho hasn't uploaded in a month. Hope him & everyone else is doin alright - know he mentioned (on the Imp n Skizz pod) how he'd love to take month long breaks in-between uploads but doesn't due to the viewers, maybe I just missed that announcement, doesn't hurt to wish 'em well still.
We've also yet to have another Oneyplays Tomodachi episode, rip, best shit I've seen in a bit, can't wait for the full 4 episode comp in a month or 2.
- Goddamn it's hard writing things in here when you're not sure how "personal" or "trauma dumping" you wanna get, especially when you have a set date of upload, when I literally just wanna chatter about casual human needs - wanting irl friends to hang out with, wanting to drop the anxiety, wanting the courage to approach someone & chat them up, wanting misunderstood thoughts to be cleared, trynna figure out tf you wanna do next, etc.
- This could very well be the last one, cause I'm unfortunately hesitant on these, & working myself up over useless garbage. But it may just be worth it for the moments like the ending of this.
