America can absolutely use prison reform. I had to write a paper on it last year and how video games could be used for reform. It ended up being an incredibly good paper, although it's pretty lengthy.

Have you ever posted it on the forum? I remember you talking about it.

I haven't. I've thought about it and end up worrying it's too long for anyone to care to read it, but I guess I should just post it and that way if at least one person wants to actually read it then it's there for them to do so. I just wish I knew how I can prevent anyone from trying to plagiarize it though since I wouldn't appreciate that.

@Moonface You may be able to publish it somehow, but I wouldn't know how to go about that, unfortunately.

Are you on a degree course or just doing AA prerequisites?

Oh currently I am on the BA for Painting, Drawing, and Printmaking, but officially I might not have designated it yet, because I haven't met with my advisor since...summer of last year by email?

Since Minecraft has come up between us a lot today, I'm wondering if you use Optifine or not?

I don't actually do anything special with Minecraft when I play usually it just vanilla with some minecraft skin that I like.

I'd strongly suggest Optifine, since it doesn't change the experience but instead optimizes the game to run better and adds extra graphical options you can use to better enhance the game.

I'll be sure to look into it soon Moony ty for the suggestion!

Oh, another thing you might like to check out is this site: https://vanillatweaks.net/

In particular the Datapacks and Crafting Tweaks. They're just small packs you put into the save file to add or change how certain things work (they're basically command blocks but inside a file for easier execution) and I've found a few of them useful like fast leaf decay (less time standing around waiting for leaves to decay). Just something good to look into alongside Optifine to just improve your game without needing to be concerned about performance issues or PC specs or anything.

Have you ever taken interest in any other historical figures besides Carolus Rex?

Oh yeah I think history is interesting and I think Joan of Ark is pretty neat Bismark was an interesting character there really are a lot of interesting people in history! But sadly nowadays I think you gotta be careful of who is a huge fan of these people and what they stood for in their life.

I imagine it's hard to be a fan of many historical people, considering a lot of them were in a position of power and likely got there by doing something bad, or did something bad upon getting it.

I think that definitely true for a lot of them, but they are really interesting people.

Do you think there are any people who aren't historically old that are as interesting as historical figures?
