About My Blog and My Youtube Channel

I am planning on linking this blog to my future YouTube channel. While "A picture is worth a thousand words", it is hard to put a thousand words on a short video. I don't expect either the blog or the videos to get many viewers, but publishing them is my way to extend my enjoyment of Minecraft and maybe helping someone else out along the way. 

I'm doing the YouTube videos on a Mac with QuickTime and iMovie. Any videos are usually from the Java version of Bedrock unless marked otherwise. 

About sound on the future Youtube Channel. The videos do not have a spoken narrative. I did a test run and decided to spare any viewers. 

About Controls:

On my Mac (Java), the game was installed directly on the computer, but the standard Mac mouse had to be reprogrammed so it would do both left-and right-clicks.

On my PC (Bedrock) I am using either Switch or the game installed directly on my PC.

The Switch game, of course, requires you have a Switch, and the PC Version of the game requires that you download the X-Box app.

Old lady playing Minecraft

Introduction

Tired of Minecraft blogs and videos showing someone getting to the End in record time? This blog is about how one old lady enjoys Minecraft at her own speed. I hope it will inspire other senior citizens to try the game.

Being a senior has disadvantages: my eyes, ears, reflexes and brains are not what they used to be. On the other hand, I have more leisure time. 

Most folks my age have hobbies like knitting or doing crossword puzzles. I like to play video games.

This is my second Minecraft Switch world. I try not to kill animals that do not attack me. I'm not totally vegan - I fish and I will eat meat when I find it or a pet brings it to me. I guess a better term would be "Pescatarian" - someone who skips red meat but will eat fish, or drink milk. 

This makes it a bit difficult to create objects that require feathers or hides.

I don't steal from villagers, or use them in iron farms or similar exploits. 

I use some cheats like "keep inventory" because Minecraft should be fun and it is no fun starting over all the time. Other than that, I play normal difficulty survival in a randomly-generated world. Seed is 1233655356. 

I enjoy building and exploring.
