Minecraft Experiments - Groudon Castle

 Hello. C J here. Time for more Minecraft. Here we're venturing into the new experiments I've done in round buildings. Hang on to your hats, and your perception of geometry, as we progress. First we're going to take a minecart rail to Ruby Station, named after one of the sectors of the Astral, Ruby Sector.

Now the above ground part of the station with a lovely colonnade. And the utter nonsense behind it.

And if you turn left you'll find a long hallway.

It's an ice cream shop of course. What else would you put in a train station? Actual food?

The options here are vanilla, lemon and strawberry. These are the options in most ice cream shops in Ascala in the Astral. Ascala likes lemon.

 

Here's the outside of the station with another bunch of experimental walls and colour combinations.

 And whatever this atrocity is. I'd show you the inside but it's not done yet.

Next to the station is a boat. Time for a ride.

Here's our main feature for today, Groudon Castle. As in the Pokemon. I wanted to see a while ago if I could make the colour combinations on Pokemon into buildings. I think it worked out well for this one. I have no idea what to do with them or where in my setting as a whole to put them but it looks good.

 Also if I'm reading my Nintendo news on my Switch correctly they're re-releasing the original Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games. Like Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team. Those games were some of the best Nintendo ever made at all in any era. I'm not kidding. If I could get one of them on my Switch that would be mountains of ideas and fun I could have.

I'll look into that later. Like years from now since I have like eight games to play before then. That's the job I do. I need to know and play every major game in my industry. Twice. Thanks.

Oh, and those purple buildings behind the castle? I'll get to them next time.

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...

Four New Recipes for January

 Hello. C J here. I've got four new recipes for everyone here. We have everything from Chinese chicken to homemade hot apple cider. Enjoy. The Emperor’s Potatoes Here we have the first food item I ever finished designing for Food of the World – Carthia. I tried three combinations of traditional Asian ingredients and pasta under the assumption that I was doing Italian-Chinese food for the book. I could not for the life of me get any of them to be exciting. They were fine. I don’t eat fine. I got bored of the pasta thing and then thought to myself, ‘what happens if I swap the pasta for another starch? What about a potato?’ It worked. Really well. It worked so well I named them The Emperor’s Potatoes. They’re mashed potatoes and I left the skins on because I like vitamins and then that got me thinking about the traditional medicinal food of Ancient China, ginger. Could I put ginger in a potato dish and have it work? Yes. I can. That surprised me. Be warned, these are almost dangerousl...

Let's All Be Friends, No Really - Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’ve updated my plans to make a Discord server for everyone here and on Facebook. Making a Discord server to my knowledge costs money. However, making a Facebook group does not. I’ve made a few of those over the years as well for various reasons. I’m going to look into this soon and then add the links here and in the menus here as well. I’m certain a Facebook group is what we need. I’m planning a number of chats within the group. So far my current plans are as follows. Art and Artwork Health and Wellness Food and Baking Magic and Spirituality Writing and Software NSFW I’m planning a private group but if I can get it open entry without a form or sign up page or anything. As for rules I’m going to reuse some from past of these I’ve done. Everyone is Welcome Be Polite Advertising is Allowed Follow the Content Ratings The Facebook group will take some planning but not any actual effort to build. It’s that simple. Thanks. C J Mcpherson
