lol not an inside-joke. he was just making fun of himself for removing something thats been around so long. anyway, he only means press the F key will not toggle fog, but the option is still in the menu.

i was wondering, what cube? was it the transparent square thingy that appears when you hover your mouse to a block? ohh wait, :/ i still didnt get it.. or he's just joking? cubes? minecraft? == no minecraft? im so confused right now =.=
Fog being set to F always was a bad idea. Set it to a button you hardly use like Backspace.
I personally prefer I for inventory over E for equipment as well.
Same.
I've tried stopping my addiction to the F key by trying that, but I set it back to F because without that addiction my game becomes unplayable by lag. :|
I don't get what you guys are saying about the FPS boost with that key. Do you just like tap it constantly or something?
Yeah. Pushing F four times makes your game reload terrain. I'm not good at explaining it. Basically depending on how long it takes for your computer to start the frame rate lag, yeah we just tap the F key four times every few seconds. It can be an eyesoar for other people looking at your screen, but it works. It's become an addiction/bad habit for me and apparently a lot of people.
terrible idea!!! my game lags a ton with my computer and ocasionally using this key fixes it. dumb dumb dumb idea. unless he has done something else to remove lag. this is my one complaint with what notch has done in 1.8
As long as the fog can be toggled, I'm fine with this change. I hope Notch optimizes the graphics as well, or at least adds more video setting options.

It seems that the last statement is some kind of inside-joke or sarcasm.
Update:
Notch later said that you can still change the fog from the options menu.

Jumping was OP, too.
Online forums are not a good place for me to be.
Oh shoot. My OCD causes me to push F four times every time I get an inch of frame lag. I'm seriously going to have to stop that habit.
OMG, I have the exact same problem! Whenever I play Minecraft with real life friends, they always comment on it. :tongue.gif:
I think it's one of those things they call jokes!
Yeah. The urge carries over to other games too. :\
Sometimes I get the random urge to do it IRL. Not sure why though. o_o

I need that fog key because i get like ten more FPS for like ten seconds when i press it.
Considering that i get 2-12 FPS, I REALLY NEED THAT FOG KEY.
There will prolly be a mod to put it back. hopefully.
This.

Like the people who use it to find dungeons? You could do that with F3.
Amen my slimy brother.
Click em'!
Yeah, when I lag in other games, I find myself pressing F.
I'm going to attempt to keep track of how many people have the same problem. I thought I was the only one! x3
