The value of looking back

Self VS Identity
I’ve spent the past 8 months building a persona “TheWizardLlewyn.” He is a live-streamer on twitch that plays video games, creates video games, tells stories, and runs an interactive storytelling system. In many ways, he is me. His stories are mine, his experiences are mine, but in many ways he is not me. To explain…

Getting Shaders in Minecraft 1.8
I’ve been going quite a bit of streaming of Vanilla (unmodded) Minecraft lately. When I play Vanilla, I play it with shaders and texture packs. Texture packs make the blocks look different (in my case, I just use a higher res texture pack). But shaders completely change the way the game looks. In fact, below…
