During this time I was attempting to work on large video essays for YouTube, but struggling. However this is when Mr. Beast drama completely broke out and reached the mainstream. The RYD extension got put in the forefront of discussion due to its wild estimations that were caught to be (seemingly very) inaccurate. I have one major policy when it comes to making videos on Drama: I only do it when I have unique input. My main take was that I was annoyed that the extension didn't let you see raw extension-only data. I wanted an option to make that possible. However when talking to people on stupid social networks like Twitter, people gave me really stupid responses. It made me frustrated enough to make a video. I researched the topic and found out that some conceptions YouTubers had (especially Nick DeOrio that I watched) about the extension were somewhat wrong. There were also other hidden issues with the extension. The video performed well for my channel and led to a positive change in RYD, but never managed to reach anyone else beyond, including YouTubers.

An event I attempted to host in Z Galaxy. People could sign up as contestants or question editors to participate. Unfortunately in practice I consider the event to have ended up a failure, due to low attendance, inconsistent rules and hosting mistakes. I spent multiple months preparing for it. This event was the main component of The Core update v2.2.1 (as it worked in conjunction with the bot).

I intended to publicize my Building Game plugin for Paper servers this year and made a very large update for it, introducing lots of helpful build tools. To capitalize on the update, I tried to host an event in Z Galaxy. However this event ended up being a lot more boring than the one in 2023. The attendance was lower and as a result the event itself was boring. I never published footage of the event and because the outcome seriously demotivated me (I considered this event a failure), I never published the plugin either.

The final season of Z Galaxy SMP to date, hosted by myself. For this season we played with the BetterMC [Fabric] modpack in 1.19. However the modpack acted as a large barrier of entry and very little people joined. This Season had the lowest amount of players, while also being marred by the largest amount of drama. I attempted to build a Jungle-themed settlement, but struggled with my main house and got sick of forcing builds while building a decorative farmhouse. The server ended up being mostly inactive, especially after the major Z Galaxy drama in late 2022, despite having the most flashy spawn of all Seasons.

A Fall Guys tournament originally intended to pit Z Galaxy against Gamer Central players. I crammed a week creating an animated UI interface with a tracker for Fall Guys, responsible for the event's scoring. It ended up failing to be a tournament between servers, and was instead a tournament between mostly random strangers because of poor planning. No follow up event occurred. The event still occurred and was livestreamed on my channel. Click the icon above to watch the whole event. In the description you can click a link to another livestream showing the tracker I made for this event. There is also a fuller story describing the problems of the event in the livestream's description.

A small Minecraft mod adding 2 new types of sculk. Despite being a tiny mod, it ended up becoming the most popular upload on my main channel (though not most popular video I've ever published on YouTube) and got more attention than I expected. Unfortunately I abandoned the mod soon after releasing it, because after trying in confusion for multiple hours, I failed to fix what I thought was a very simple bug.

The Core's biggest update at that point. Added The Bane of Adolebia, titles, banners, profiles, marriages, reactables, level types, reworked leveling, logging, notifications. The changelog is so big, I created a spreadsheet for it. I released the bot publicly after this update, but to little fanfare. The bot failed to grow and with the looming forced Slash Commands due to Privileged Message Content, I burnt out and lost hope in making a big Discord bot. I largely gave up trying to create a bot to cater to the public.

I would say this is my highest effort Z Galaxy Season. Initially it was voted to have a plugin idea I called 'Factions and Strategy', which was going to be a form of Factions, combined with some Stellaris ideas (such as faction Ethics) and allowed some players to be passive. However this idea turned out to be too complex and I burnt out. Nothing happened for a while, but I still made plugins and datapacks for the Season. We voted to play on the Minecraft Earth map of 1:1000 scale. At that point we were entering 1.17, but the Earth map had no direct access to the new items, so I added 'Extra Rare Drops', basically rare chests that contained random items, sometimes including the new 1.17 ones, which dropped from activities such as mining, farming and fishing. I also made a 'Mob Apocalypse' plugin, which is an early version of what would later turn into a large mod idea I still wish to make, this plugin attempted to calculate every player's wealth and added leveling to many basic hostile mobs, making them get better gear the richer the players are. It wasn't perfect and had multiple severe issues, but still made the Season more interesting. We had severe performance issues in the beginning of the reason, until I discovered that Paper worked very badly with datapacks, dealing with the issues helped me learn how to debug performance on Paper. The biggest issue of the Season was the world itself. I was hoping to get a 1:2000 scale of Earth, but 1:1000 was more popular. Everyone was very, very far apart. People rarely met each other and this Season of SMP felt very lonely, almost like playing Singleplayer. I think that was the main reason people played less than in Season 1. I settled in Lithuania's territory and attempted to build 'Claytown', with the main attraction being a parkour course based on the new dripleaf. However I once again burnt out of building the parkour course and overall didn't make much of anything.

My longest drama video so far, initially talking about John Swan's video released when Dream admitted to cheating. I made this video because I was very annoyed how oblivious commentary channels I watched (AugieRFC, Bowblax, WillyMacShow) were about the difference between Minecraft Mods and Plugins, at times spreading total falsehoods. However there are many things that I wish I'd done differently with the video. Towards the end of the video I posited that either Dream was wilfully ignorant of what his custom-made mods did or the modder lied to him. Later in 2021 Karl Jobst would release a large deep dive, where he stubbornly asserts that everyone other than him is completely wrong and then blasts everyone for not reaching out to Dream, but the truth he revealed ended up being one of the things I speculated happened - the modder that made mods for Dream failed to disclose that the mod added a gameplay advantage which fucked with Dream's speedruns.

A large update to the Minecraft Ultra Hardcore datapack I made. The major distinct feature of my implementation of UHC, is that the world border shrunk in 'rounds', much like Battle Royales and in late stages, the CENTER of the world border would also shift too to combat campers at 0,0. It was well received, but there were multiple things that bothered me (inability to pass any variable number into /worldborder commands) and I didn't do a good job at keeping up with Minecraft updates.

Z Galaxy is a Discord community where I started up an SMP. The first season was just vanilla, with a passive CoreProtect plugin installed on top (and maybe a multiplayer sleep datapack). I was responsible for hosting the Minecraft server as its host, but because it happened in his server, Z Galaxy had special administrative privileges for many decisions. I wanted to design a server that was democratic (to the point members were allowed to host a vote that would kick me, the host, out of it), but also catered to specifically Z Galaxy regulars. As part of that, new players had to go through a vote between active SMP members, which eventually caused drama due to outsiders attempting to join in. This first Season had the largest amount of players.

An edited video which served to definitively argue why Daylight Saving Time needs to be abolished completely... at least to the best extent of my ability at the time, as I don't think it was done very well. There are some strong arguments in there, but they could be worded and shown better.

QuizUp Leaderboard Replays was a service I built and ran which primarily served to archive and display the achievements of competitive QuizUp players. I think this is one of the more impressive things I managed overall. Every minute for an entire month I recorded a snapshot for the global monthly leaderboard of a specific topic. I then used an accompanying Unity app I created to 'replay' all these snapshots in quick succession, 1 frame = 1 minute at 60 FPS. This created fast-paced and satisfying replays showing off player activity very well and the many leaderboard position changes that took place. Initially I ran the leaderboard snapshot recorder on my main computer that I turned off every night, but later rented multiple servers for tracking the leaderboards. In 2020 QuizUp Leaderboards went through massive visual overhauls, which made it even more info-dense than before, showing players' Win % for the month, amount of games played, their levels and even a custom leveling system I made with a friend called the 'Magmatic Stratum'. Due to being a mod, I also implemented automatic boosting detection, primarily used to inform clan leaders about their members using boosts. In mid 2020 I opened up my Patreon to allow users to pay me money to track and create replays for topics of their choice, gaining money online fully through my own work for the first time.The final major visual update for Leaderboard Replays took place in December 2020, when I added subtle, transparent bars, charting out the difference in XP for each player. Despite all the upsides, creating these replays every month took a lot of manual labor, even with all my automation. In early 2021, right before QuizUp's shutdown, I had to spend 3-4 entire days doing nothing but recording and rendering Replays, which really irritated me and made me consider quitting. Luckily QuizUp's shutdown ended it before I did. The very first QuizUp Leaderboard Replays were on my main YouTube channel, but later I moved them to my second channel. Use the Playlist feature on the 2nd channel to browse them, as nowadays they serve as large archives for the competitive state of those topics.

A rather special QuizUp Tournament I hosted, probably one of a kind that happened in QuizUp as a whole. The tournament took place in the Name the Flag topic. I created a new scoring system that was very sensitive to time - instead of players getting 1 point for every second early they answered, my scoring system gave a score for every millisecond they answered early. This scoring system was called 'time-sensitive' and my entire tournament was based on the time-sensitive scoring system. I attempted to host such an event in 2018, but failed because back then no one in Name the Flag knew me and I required the usage of an application I made to sign up. Because QuizUp didn't support time-sensitive scoring, every player had to send game API data to me, which I then replayed in public videos for everyone to see with a custom replay program I made, allowing everyone to spectate the results live through a Premiere. Because of that, every single tournament game is published and viewable on my YouTube channel, click the icon above to open the playlist of videos I made for the tournament. The tournament wasn't without its kinks - there were animations and features that I thought were rushed and unfinished on my part, some players mysteriously quit, cheated or acted irrationally and overall the result of the tournament is rather unexpected (probably due to the unique reaction time requirement). Despite that I am still really proud of how the tournament turned out - I never managed to host something similar since.
