In the interest of honesty I have to admit that I got off to a rough start when I really quit eating meat back in 2013. I cheated. A few weeks in I drunkenly gorged myself on some home-smoked BBQ pulled pork, and for months I'd regularly eat fish, saying it was to ween myself off meat gradually, like a smoker chewing…

Yes, I'm now, for the first time, a self-sustaining Minecraft player. It turns out challenging yourself pays off.

Yup. Know what else is part of the natural order? Humans eating meat.

I wanted to see if I could play Minecraft as I live life: by doing as little harm as possible to my friendly animal neighbors.

Is there really anything special about this? I thought have a self sustaining farm was like...Minecraft 101

Being a carnivore or an omnivore, if you're an animal, it's "normal natural order". Being an omnivore, if you're human, it's not. #VeganLogic.

Comercially produced dog food is 9 times out of 10 absolutely horrible for your dogs. It's definitely not what they are 'biologically' supposed to eat.

I don't think any of the blockycows and sheep that wander near my jungle home are aware of the fate they avoided when I spawned into their world instead of some other player, but that's part of the beauty of animals. They're wonderfully naive. I did befriend a dog, using bones from a hostile skeleton—it was self…

Wouldn't buying the skin of a murdered animal sort of go against the "Don't hurt animal" Mindset?

You still managed to also not see the countless Kotaku and other site's articles with that fact in the title alone? That's the party I find hard to believe, especially seeing add how you're a video game blogger.

There's no way you didn't know prior to playing. I don't even play the series and there were mountains of articles and comments about this.

The person responded elsewhere.

"I just do this in my spare time, I don't really play games so it keeps me occupied. Also I do something similar to this IRL"

People hone their abilities by practicing them. Practicing makes smart people smarter, and inspires both them and others. Things like Minecraft are good avenues for complex problem solving.

That's the thing with satire though. It's blunt and unrepentant. It's really the furthest thing from being politically correct and that's why it works. And I don't think the game made any real statements about trans people in the game. If anything, they satirize 'straight' people way more considering the kind of…

I know enough to know that that's too much flex in that blade. Too whippy for my taste.

I can't say I've read anything by you before but I hope you're more like Jason Schreier and less like Luke Plunkett & Patricia Hernandez

This was actually established in an official Nintendo Power comic way back when.

According to Vox, World War II can be explained in 40 cards which did not include the word "Stalingrad" in the whole piece>

Man, that Gaza bridge fuckup was just all-time. A lot of these are relatively understandable errors of fact or failures to do due diligence on viral hoaxes. But to have your "World Correspondent" betray such a ludicrous lack of understanding about the basic geography and politics of Israel-Palestine... I don't know…
