last time that happened i broke my knee. (though sometimes i suspect my family and coworkers didn't even notice i had a bright pink cast on for three months... oblivious, the lot of em.)

also, render, thats minecraft/terraria and every voxel-based/tile-based survival sandbox they've spawned. you can't call an entire genre obscure. try figuring this one out.

I cant seem to build ships larger than 3 km long without my game crashing... can you?

I tried to learn to play guitar and after I repeat the chords I could play some of them, but I can't play any songs. So technically I can play guitar.
