The Planet Plays Minecraft

 Hello. C J here. I’ve spent a while doing market research on my own. This has involved going to events, travelling around Ontario and using a lot of social media platforms. What I didn’t expect is that none of the social media platforms worked. I’m trying to put together a Halloween party on Facebook and no one’s even seen my posts. Facebook is just another in a long list of websites and apps that don’t have a user base anymore.

The two platforms that seem to have an audience are here and YouTube. I track my views here carefully and my most popular category has always been spirituality followed by Minecraft. YouTube is similar. Minecraft is its most popular category. So, where is everyone? As far as I can tell they’re fine. They’re all playing Minecraft Bedrock servers and meeting friends that way. They’re the only people on the internet I’ve seen who use the word friend that liberally for each other.

This post is something of a warning to the internet. There isn’t a community or user base outside Minecraft and its affiliate media. If you have an active Bedrock friends list and you get along with them, don’t think you need other social media. Dragon Engine is my attempt at making a second of these video games that bring people together. First though, I’m taking my plans for Monad and reworking them to make a Minecraft server. This may take a bit but then it’s friendship time. Just logging onto one of the servers with 10,000 active players an hour should do it though.

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

Chocolate and Barbecue Sauce and Truffles Oh My

 Hello. C J here. I've got two new recipes for everyone today. I meant to type up a third but for the life of me I can't find the paper index card I wrote it down on. I will have to make it again and post it later once I double check I have the right proportions. I know what's in it but the proportions are done by taste. It's for Asian style ginger baked beans as part of my Asian-barbecue book I'm working on. The book might actually end up being cards for the card game because the recipes are so simple they fit in that format. That makes my job easier. Here's our two recipes for today. The first is a new Asian style barbecue sauce I invented from scratch. This isn't based on an existing sauce. It's the product of a lot of planning and research. It's great. The second recipe is for my final draft scratch made dark chocolate. This stuff is good. I still have some of the batch I made three days ago on hand. It's too tasty to eat. There will be a mil...

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...
