Been playing Feed The Beast for a long time; longer than I usually do when it comes to playing legit in Minecraft. But there’s something I really want to get off my chest here.
\nUsually, I stick with IC2 and maybe some Redpower 2, get my tools, my Diamond Drill, my machines, virtually infinite power via solar, and have an auto-sorting system… then I just get bored and quit after having done everything I wanted to do, and go play another game.<\/p>\n
I feel like there’s nothing really else there. I got my machines. I got chests. I got enough resources to make pretty much anything I want and need, and I got an auto-sort system. What else could I need, really? And even now, I ask this question.<\/p>\n
Angry on the other hand, has shown time and time again that there’s a LOT more than just IC2 and RP2. Yet I’ve never seen his setup until now.
\nYet he told me he would show me all the new things that I’ve been missing. And clearly, I’ve been missing a lot.<\/p>\n
Now, I’m using several mods; mods I’ve never touched in my lifetime until angry showed me what he’s done. Using AE2, a bit of Thaumcraft, Mystcraft, MachineMuse’s Modular Powersuits, Ender IO.. and that’s just a small handful. Because of this, I see him as a “mod expert”, and look up to him… yet for the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n
Reasons such as constantly asking him “How did you do this?” “What’s your setup to this?” “What did you unlock to get this?”… and this is really starting to annoy him. Can you really blame him, though? Instead of me venturing out of my comfort zone and just doing my own thing, I’m trying to copy his setup and do what he did. Yet I refuse to go any further than that. I refuse to get into those uncharted modding waters, with all of these mods I haven’t touched yet. Is this the point of having a Mod Pack? Touching all of these mods instead of the ones you’re familiar with, and avoiding the others that look intimidating?<\/p>\n
Intimidating = “I got to do WHAT to get into this mod?! UGH!! Too much WORK!!”<\/p>\n
And I can’t help myself. It’s not even my fault, nor do I blame JeetTol who showed me the ways of IC2 and Railcraft (what I mentioned early on here). The thing about Jeet, it wasn’t the fact he wasn’t getting out of his own comfort zone, but he always had a hard time following through with his Let’s Plays. When he gets to like.. episode 30 or so, he’s doing something else and ignoring what he was working on before. He even brought his son in to show him what Modded Minecraft is all about.<\/p>\n
I still remember when he got back into Railcraft. Ohh how I wanted him to keep working on it, to give me more ideas for the W2TS. Then it happened; real life got in the way, and he announced he wasn’t going to do it anymore. Still got a blog post marking that sad day.<\/p>\n
But anyway, going back to the topic at hand. I just want angry to tell me “Look, will you please stop depending on me all the time? I’m not a ‘mod expert’. If you need help, there’s wikis and other sources. I want to do my thing. You do yours. You’re out of my tech level anyway.”
\nAnd of course, I would be shocked and upset at the same time; even while writing this. Yet I would also understand. My 12 year old spoiled brat brain won’t, but my common sense already has.<\/p>\n
I really wish I never got into this again. I don’t even remember what I was doing before this, but I do remember how it started. It was from watching Youtube videos, and seeing all of these videos of Dan and his father having fun playing the same game together. And there’s also VanossGaming, with his friends who play random games. I really, REALLY wished that was me and angry playing those games. I guess I just got lonely for a true friend.<\/p>\n
But it you’ve seen my “we’re incompatible” post, you’d understand why it didn’t really go so well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
