Fake: It's a feel good story posted on 4chan

Gay: it made me cry

My dad is a living trash human.

I hope I can be remembered fondly, like this dad, by my kids.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

I specifically didn't have kids because of my own father.

Turned out later in life I regretted it and wished I had made more of an effort to have a child, I think I would have been an okay father. I learned from the worst how to not be the worst, I just had way too many demons to battle through adulthood before I felt remotely capable of raising another human and not breaking them also, so it's probably good that I didn't, but having nieces and nephews made me really wish I could have experienced that kind of love.

It's too late now, but I think about what alternate lives would have been like. I wonder if we get to experience every possible instance of our own lives.

I will only remember that your dad was a living trash human. Sorry

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My dad is a dead trash human. I was kinda sad when he died, but life has been so much easier since.

I'm still waiting for mine to. Wife bought some champagne and I've got some Wagyu in the freezer.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like you are expecting it any day.

[–] Rancor_Tangerine@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Not expecting it, just hopeful. 500lbs monsters don't live very long.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Does that count as human wagyu?

I might just spam these comments, but, check out Vintage Story.

Exact same thing happened to me. Still salty and refuse to play it again

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

!luanti@lemmy.zip is a great open source alternative—especially if you played Minecraft a long time ago, and if you refuse to play Microsoft’s Minecraft.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Agreed. And pirating it is now more difficult because of the shitty garbage movie that made a billion dollars. Plus I don’t know that I can play with my partner on a pirated copy.

[–] BrowseMan@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Wait the movie actually worked?

Ouah, this really is the moronest timeline

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 20 hours ago

Budget of 150m

Made 950m

It’s very disheartening.

[–] Amir@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You can play with your partner on a pirated copy if you connect to a server without authentication or host one yourself

You can also play co-op with a single PC nucleus-coop.github.io/

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 23 hours ago

Oooohhh, never knew about that tool, looks awesome!

sold to Microsoft and they deleted my account

Yeah, there was a period where you had to join your Mojang account to a MS account, then they eventually shut down the Mojang auth entirely. If you didn't change over during that time you're SOL. It was announced it was coming over a year before they actually did it.

I go back and play Minecraft every now and then, usually heavily modded. Been playing through the Material Energy 5 modpack for the past little bit.

This story reminds me of some friends of mine who are super adamant that you shouldn't tell your kids Santa Claus is real, because when they grow up and find out you deceived them how can they EVER trust you again? My only reaction was that humans aren't robots, we operate on fuzzy logic, and empirically we know we somehow trust our parents anyway, logical contradictions notwithstanding. Their response was just an argument-stopping, "But do we tho?" Whatever dudes, I know I do. Anyway, your dad did an awesome thing, and it's also awesome that Minecraft has been around long enough for people to grow up and have fond childhood memories of it.

[–] onnekas@sopuli.xyz 4 points 23 hours ago

Dude we can differentiate between someone lying to us to deceive us or someone 'lying' to us to make us happy/help us. At least in retrospect.

Sure maybe the kid in this post can't trust his dad anymore. But he can 100% trust that his dad always wanted the best for him.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

people who try to live 100% deception-free are deceiving themselves

it's more important to teach kids when to be truthful (when they're young, that's almost always) and when to be politely or justly deceptive (when the next door neighbor asks if you liked her cookies you say "yes" even if they sucked, and when a police officer asks if you've seen the kid in this photo you say "nah, I don't know him")

"mom lied about Santa!" eventually gives way to "I'm glad my mom created Christmas magic for me when I was a kid, so that I could enjoy child-like wonder and traditional holiday mythology"

Best Father’s Day story I’ve read so far. I really hope it’s true. But since this is EXACTLY the kinda thing I would do for my boy so I’m sure it is.

I don't understand why the dad would lie about the mod. Wouldn't that be a great thing to teach your son?

I never played Minecraft, but I was a teen when the original Quake came out, and I LOVED exploring all the different mods.

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

In the early days of minecraft modding, it was a real pain in the ass. You had to extract the jar and replace class files directly and rejar it. Mod loaders didnt really exist at that time.
