  • I’m not in a position right now to look at the files. What language is it written in? I wonder if Bedrock was branched from this project.

    On Wikipedia, 4J is credited with working on Bedrock on the main Minecraft page, but not on the Bedrock page.

    Edit: actually, I see on the PS3 legacy console edition page that it says it was written in C++. However, it seems that pocket edition was the source for Bedrock. Perhaps this was a separate branch from pocket edition? I would guess the PC target already existed if that’s the case and was mostly used for testing until Bedrock came along and they made PC a full target platform.



  • Unpopular opinion: this game isn’t that great. It’s basically doing chores and if you don’t do them on time, it can set you way back, the gifting mechanism is annoying and punishing for giving the “wrong” gift even though the hints are limited, there’s nothing to really like about most of the characters as they’re selfish and demanding, I found the gameplay annoying without mods, and it’s repetitive to the point of pure boredom.

    I’ve never understood the attraction.







  • The full version was offered for free at one point. That’s how I got it. I’ve never been sure how safe it is from a privacy standpoint.

    It does a lot, but can’t create uncompressed zip files. I discovered this recently when I was changing phones and wanted to grab a bunch of uncompressable stuff from my secure folder. Solid Explorer can but isn’t free.

    I have Material Files installed (recently) but haven’t played with it yet.


  • The mic is broken on my Pixel 6 and the Pixel camera resets to use the internal mic every time it starts, where Open Camera will save the setting to use an external mic. I may have had to tweak settings initially to get good quality but it’s been fine for a long time. Black Magic would auto switch to external mic (as does Samsung, btw) but the video was absolute unusable garbage on Black Magic on the Pixel. I don’t know if they’ve fixed it yet but there was something terribly wrong with it. All of that led me to using Open Camera by default.
