Comment on Day 783 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing
MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 3 days agoI think the ugly builds in a way have come full circle to me because of nostalgia. I feel like now when i see a super massive build with like block pallets and stuff my reaction is just “oh, that’s cool”. Meanwhile with builds that are fugly, i get more of a reaction of “Now that looks like something someone had a blast building”. Bonus points if it was done co-op

I agree completely. Though its not just nostalgia, nowadays I tend to be so worried about making a decent house that I end up stressing over it and not enjoying it at all. Everything has to have a function, a proper block palette, the layout and terrain needs to look natural, etc. Waaay too much thought goes into what should have just been something simple like where to put my enchanting table and bookshelves.
So instead I’ve recently been challenging myself to build “ugly” things like nonsensical square houses and giant wool rainbows, and it’s surprisingly hard (and fun). I’m so used to building decent looking houses that I genuinely struggle to just build random crap now.
