One Hour One Life Forums

Pretty sure I forgave you, the day you killed me on stream,
but I want to be clear, I forgive you, for everything you think
you did was malicious; to me, my families or anyone else,
for this matter.

Bobo, I never worried about you.
I knew better.
I may have been concerned for you, as a person;
wondering about your upbringing and all,
I still do.

Obviously you were a smart kid
and you'll continue, being a smart man.
(I hate when people called me smart.)
I just, want you to know, I liked hearing about you.
I liked knowing you took time, to leave an impression.
That is important.
Nevermind how people twist their emotions
experienced in game
into the attempt to hurt you outside the game.
We get carried away.

You will have a wonderful adulthood.
Don't let the downs, get you down.
Life is a thrilling ride, but it all works out.
In the end, we go out, about, at the level
we came in.

But, oh boy, is it fun to get pulled up, to the highest point,
and just, ride that down, so hard, it feels like we are
carried, through the rest of life, with that initial boost.

May the last 4 years, boost you, through the next 4.

I love you, Bobo.

Let's see if it works.

Good enough.

I love you, Kilian.
I love you, all.

Hey! Ask me questions, if any of you are curious what I'm up to.
Mind you, this is a bulletin board, not instant messenger.
But if any of you are curious, about anything, I'll try to answer, but...
Obviously I don't respond very well, as is...

The 4 of you...
I've read your posts dozens of times.
I come back here to remember all of you,
as well as see what new folks are up to.
I love you all, and I really mean that.
I don't want to begin listing names; I will leave
important people out, because you were all important.

I want to say a few names, of people that, I know, had a big influence on me.

For starters
Jason Rohrer, for teaching me...
SO MUCH!
Your determination to try and please us,
along with yourself...
AND juggle a family life?
I will always love you, my brother.

Like any fan, I obviously watched, listened to and engaged with hundreds
of, products; traces, that you've left all across the internet. Not to mention
what has been left, about you and your work, by others.

Someday I will write a much more significant post, if not a book, about you,
from my perspective. I used you, as an example, of what kind, of man, I wish
I wish I could have made myself, or the world, could have helped make me.
I'm quite content with who I am; what output, emerged, from all my input.
Though, we can always be a little nicer, a little more interesting; a little happier,
with the puzzle we are leaving behind for the world to piece together,
for, as best a picture as it wants to make, of our existence.

Jason, every update... everything.
Thank you.
Thank you, for every key press; every click; for your input,
into each of our consciousnesses; our lives, our minds, our outputs.

You, are a Johnny Appleseed, of love, comfort and consideration.

You saved me, from a life of, what in retrospect, seems mediocre.
I'm trying, to pass on the favor to others, these days.
I'm trying to teach, but, the world needs a lot more than I can give.
I'm okay with my limitations... that's a lie. I want infinite reach,
for as long as conscious matter enjoys it's own company.

You were a good man and a great example, by my standards.
You will be, your whole life; my whole life.

I love you, Jason.

One more name: pein

My respect, pein.
You, were a good challenge.
I admired a lot of your work...
AN UNDERSTATEMENT
You worked hard, and I spotted you in the crowds of people,
time and time again. If I thought you were one of my kids,
I died, comfortable, knowing you, and others, but you,
you were there for our families.

Thank you.

You were always good to have as a Smith, a farmer, a tailor, or anything
Anything our families needed, you busted your ass.

Thank you, for keeping yourself, our families and me, alive, time and time again.

I love you guys.
I love you all.
I always will.

But! I'm in a bar right now, and this place has a few new faces.
I want to make more friends.

You all, have some of my heart.

I love this; life.

I miss each of you, every one of you,
that I experienced this game with,

5 years ago; Spring 2018,

And ever since.

I am homeless
(more like permanent shelter structureless)
but, I am, pretty close to free, I think.
Of course, there are strings, there always are,
but...

But, but, but.

I love you, all.
I love living.
Michigan, is easy mode, this time of year.

I love each of you.

Just checking in.

Love each other.
We're all the same Earth;
The most beautiful parts,
Of the most beautiful world,
We know to exist.

Kilian, karltown_veteran, Mr.XIX,
And everyone else,
Do great things with your lives.
Experience this world.

Amaze, and be amazed.

Love,
Morti

Looks good.

Thank you Kilian, for your concern.
I am well, by my standards. I'm enjoying a very simple life, living in a camper in the woods. I like to think of it like I am experiencing the game, for myself, but...
real life just isn't so simple.

I am living on a piece of property that was featured in one of my posts, years ago here, where I was making fun of Minecraft, punching a tree, until my fist was bloody (with ketchup). My friend bought the property and they planned to cut down a lot of trees, but I talked them into saving a few, the one I punched, included.

I cared for the property all year, cleaning up the logs they cut up, stacking them into cords, and I burned the branches. I slept there a few times, day and night, and grew fond of the lot; it's about 2 acres.

I've really enjoyed being up close with nature, this last year, and in October, I moved onto the lot, into an old camper that was left there by a friend that the owner and I share.

I started clearing the wooded part of the lot, of "dead" trees, and, something changed; I realized, the trees are vital, to the health of the land. I, don't know how to explain it, I'm not an ecologist, but, I no longer want to burn the wood.

Being without the trees, for long, even breaks my heart.

We, humans... we, have so much to learn, about life on this world. The balance, of chemicals; the ways they are married to each other. People who know from experience, living closer to nature than I ever will, they see what I'm just beginning to see, but they don't know the details. Then there are those who know the science; the way photons are captured, the way electrons are shared to form molecules, and the way the matter works with energy, to come to life.

These two camps of people need to stay in touch, and inform the rest of the world just how intrinsically important these mechanics are to the existence of all beings, here, on Earth. Then, maybe, we can begin reproducing this, affect, this beauty, this clockwork dance of material, throughout the rest of the universe.

...

You asked about me.
Thank you, Kilian.
I love you.

I love you, all.
You are the most beautiful, most interesting, products, the universe has ever, shone into existence.

I'm happy you contacted me.
Thank you.

That hurt.

How could this have been avoided? Jason used to sell the game saying 'You start as Eve... and your children are other players.'

...

Just hit 10:30 in the video https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1136298857?t=00h10m31s

Let's see where this goes.
Maybe we don't need to tell people more,
maybe we need to let the world, figure this out on it's own.

I love you all.

Even if it were a rickroll, wouldn't that make you feel good?
Like when I downloaded a QR code reader just to analyze this image from wondible's map:

It was made near the trailer park, when we had that giant road that went west to east... some of the towns had names, but I forget them. But this was done near a lot of works of art, mostly Kirbys.

You could, if you learned.

Nice to see the sentiments of my last few posts echoed here.

I don't want to force people to stop using mods, but I would like to encourage people to take on the challenge of playing without them, so they are in touch with what it's like to play this game as a new player, and can design towns and overcome challenges, without things like phex or, even discord, which is just an external form of radio technology available in the game.

Even this forum takes away some of the challenges, when I can post farm layouts or guides here on surviving as an Eve and finding the ideal home, rather than trying to pull off teaching new players via ingame mechanics.

Whenever I had a good idea in game, I usually tried to implement it then and there, that life or the next, just to see if it was something worth doing routinely, and something other players could pick up on, given the limits of ingame communication via word of mouth, or, alterations to the environment.

Make enough 3x3 farms, and people would pick up on it, I did that for a long time before bringing the idea to this forum, and presenting it before those of you who were around at the time. After doing that, they really took off and farming became easier than ever. Was that wrong of me? To a degree, yes. It was like cheating and we could have struggled with farming for months without a plan like that emerging.

Same goes for all challenges of the game. Stream lining solutions for the challenges we find ourselves facing, means we move on to bigger challenges, sooner. We caught up to Jason. If he was ever really one step ahead, in the first place.

The game that Jason made, is not the game that includes zoom mods, or global chat.
It's in the game now, but he can't go making a game based on every mod that comes along for it, and I don't think he's about to start. That is the impression I have gotten from his response to activities that involve people using other player's creations.

On the one hand, he wants the game open source, free for anyone to play with as they like.

On the other hand, he wants to make something personal.

It is a conflict of interests that he, surely, struggles with and the more the community employs mods like hetuw's to alter players experience of the game he is limiting himself to making, on purpose, the harder it's going to get to keep making things relevant to what he is/was trying to do.

Morse code for instance, hugely important in the development of radio communication, widely used for nearly 100 years, still used in some form to this day, nearly 155 years after it's invention. Next to no use in game, it now serves as a trap for people who want to make radios for fun.

--

Jason, once challenged himself and others, to conceptualize a game where civilization started over and people, had a goal - to recreate the equivalent of the iPhone. Well, could just say Phex is that iPhone, and consider this mission accomplished. Next game.

Controversial opinion: For all the changes we've seen over the last 3 years, it's still almost the exact same game.

The car is just a horse, the truck, a cart attached.
Every forageable, just another gooseberry. Every recipe, a pie.
And everyone you love, you love, just the same.
Care for them, and they will return the favor, and together, we survive.
Or die trying.

Be nice Dodge.

I care about you.
