Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

this is why I choose not to get into it, and why I struggle with Minecraft sometimes. it just uses the same area of my brain that work does.
I find it very difficult to just sit back and do simple tasks in Minecraft, instead of figuring out what to build next and all the parameters for that.
