Today's game is some more Minecraft Xbox 360 edition. I finally managed to find diamonds after a decent amount of play time. Not only that but i found 5! 3 in a ore vein and two in a mineshaft chest. Immediately i used them to make a diamond pickaxe and then surfaced so i didn't lose them.

I ended up putting the portal in this shallow cave next to my home. I thought it'd give it a cool "ruins" kind of look along with keeping it decently far away from my home.

I immediately popped in to see if i can get some glowstone for my tunnel to light it with. While i wasn't able to reach any i did find out there was a Nether Fortress right next to the portal which will be super handy. I ended up sprinting back home though after i narrowly dodged a fireball from a ghast.

I also found a spawner in the minseshaft. I hope to use it to farm bones in some capacity to tame dogs. I've almost never made a vanilla mob grinder before so i want to try making my own from scratch. I think it would be fun.

Someone on the last post was asking if Splitscreen works on Xenia, so i decided to test it. I didn't test too long because it was just me, but it seemed to work perfectly fine on my rig. I'd assume the entire game was playable this way.

It did throw off my system's bluetooth card and caused some delay, but i suspect that's more from Linux having a stroke from having 3 Bluetooth devices connected at the same time instead of Xenia. The delay did keep scaring the shit out of me while mining though because i'd walk on a patch of dirt and by the time i was back on stone the dirt sounds would just start hitting. Gave me a heart attack thinking someone was behind me like some Herobrine creepypasta lol.

You'll also notice that the Minecraft logo is plastered at the top. For some reason when i first loaded in it bugged out and that got stuck. Opening and closing the world fixed it though.

I'm surprised that it has been about a year since you started doing this. Isn't it tiring?

Sometimes. I’m also a college student though with a ton of free time so it’s not like I don’t have the free time to play video games. Usually though when I play a game I take a ton of screenshots to just show friends, so I already have them. The tiring part usually comes from busy days like finals or when I’m out of the house all day
