Getting into Minecraft again
Current mood:  blissful

When I had recently gotten a switch just about last year of April, I had only the intentions of using it for the newest installment of Animal Crossing, as I was just about hell-bent of finding any sort of comfort in these times of the pandemic. I had a great time playing that, of course, but I felt that I needed to look back on another video game I enjoyed playing as a child: Minecraft. Now I won't make it seem like I'm some sort of master at the game as the last time I had played it was when the demo was out, but I guess I would be considered some kind of relic concerning my relationship with it. So I bought the game expecting the same plain atmosphere that I was used to, but to my suprise, the game had so much more. Without intent, I became addicted to it and with great causation. At the time, I was having trouble making art and being that I go to an art school, that'd be no good for my grade. As silly as it would sound to many, this game sort of put a spark in me that I was missing for almost half the year. It's creative mode indulged me to make an entire world inside this game and had me craving for more. I tried out it's Survival Mode and it gave me a similar acceleration to making an art project. Tiring for days on end for the end project but enjoying it's experience. Developing a relationship with your art and then enveloping yourself in the end result. With minecraft, the drive to create has been rekindled in me. There wasn't as much pressure for the end product and eventually playing it a little day by day gently led me back to creating amazing art pieces.
