Day 146: battle has become boring

Sometimes you need a project that’s just for, y’know, goofing around. This is the ongoing saga of my Minecraft character. For lack of a better title, we’re going with “One Among the Dead”. 

Day 146:

Here’s a typical routine:

  • Eat breakfast
  • Walk out to the current mine site
  • Dig out the area where I want to put up walls to keep the monsters from invading while I mine
  • Every 45 minutes or so, kill somewhere between 1 and 5 monsters as they swarm over the edges of my floor.
  • Stop for a snack about midday
  • Continue digging
  • When it looks like it’s getting dark outside (based on the skylights I dig every few hundred meters), head back home
  • Eat dinner
  • Feed the animals
  • Sharpen and clean my weapons
  • Go to bed

I still get an adrenaline rush every time some skeleton or zombie comes into view, but not nearly like the first week. I guess people can adjust to anything.

A small baked potato is the perfect snack for midday, by the way. It’s got great starch, it’s compact, comes in its own wrapper, and stays hot as hell all day. Which makes it a nice hand warmer too!
