    Yeah… my young nephew just recently asked me if I ever heard of Minecraft… kid, I was playing Minecraft before it was “infinite”.

      Back when it actually got dark at night. Before it ran my adhd ass off by adding too much shit to do.

      Once you had to feed the player I was overwhelmed.

      I think I started playing around the1.1 or 1.2 release updates, but with the whole chat reporting, the chat/sign censorship, and now the terms of service changes, I just completely dropped the game. That, and Minetest runs more smoothly on my current desktop.

        I played alpha based on this guy I worked with. He came to work almost hungover from lack of sleep. He said that this sandbox survival game had him hooked. I believe I paid $8 back I’m October of 2009.

        I have nieces and nephews who ask me about minecraft now. It’s comical. I’ve played longer than they have been alive…

          Yeah, that’s about when I picked it up too. My now wife and I played it one night. I got into it, she didn’t.
