I've been using your texturepack for quite a while now dispite it missing the 1.7 updates but that's fine the rest of it is worth it

Epic response is epic!
Welcome back! And, yeah, moving away from the west coast to just about anywhere not the west coast is a big culture shock. I miss being able to get decent produce year-round.

Yeah, as someone who loves to cook, I could probably write up an essay on all the food differences alone at this point. The produce thing stood out for me pretty instantly first time I stepped into a grocery store, smaller selection, poorer quality on some things, higher prices and all that. Though what also stood out was just how readily available fresh okra was. Back where I used to live, that stuff was incredibly difficult to come across. I'd make it a point every shopping trip to check for it too because I LOVE okra, and used to make a pretty mean ass gumbo that I'd never bother to make without it.
Cheese was another big thing for me, it's a lot harder to find many of the non-standard import cheeses I used to use on a regular basis out here. I've gotta go like 30 miles now to get a decent block of non-crumbled gorgonzola or parmigiano-reggiano. And I can probably forget about stuff like pesto gouda or truffle cheese. Mushroom selection is also quite limited to where I'm considering setting up a mycology lab to grow my own.
Instead of focusing on what I don't have though I've just been trying to embrace the best the local cuisine has to offer that'd be difficult to come by on the West Coast. I've come to like East Carolina BBQ much more than the typical Kansas City stuff that passes as barbeque throughout the rest of the US, and really would like to try the yellow South Carolina BBQ at some point. Another thing that's not as common back west is the availability of hush puppies--which I also love. I've noticed that fresh fish is also quite a bit cheaper here and sushi-grade stuff is also available at much more reasonable prices than I'm used to. Considering how much I love seafood, I'm pretty satisfied for the most part.
Probably a bit off topic for the thread, but whatever. I think I'll just open up my old Tinychat for a bit today if anyone wants to chat or stream whatever. I don't expect it'll get too crowded given the lack of traffic to this thread I normally get on like update days, but I'll just be hanging out in there while I'm going through the massive stack of PM's I have and working on other stuff online I've not had the chance to do in awhile. Everyone feel free to hop on as a guest and say hi if you like: http://tinychat.com/misas64x64 Now closed.
Last time I self-moved with a young family way back when, it very nearly killed me with all the work needing doing on the new (that's a joke) place. Completely got out of the hang of sleeping for weeks...and that's a spiral into oblivion for sure. Hope you get everything sorted, but just take it easy in the process.
At least you get some of the cheapest gas prices in SC... NC has some of the highest in the area afaik (NC state tax on gas is highest in the southern states it lists on the pump... and it lists a few).
Welcome back Misa Glad to hear your sorting things out. If you think things are are tough in the South, try Maine. I swear nothing exists up here but snow and blackflies.
Patiently waiting for your next update to the best Texture Pack of all time. I've been resorting to using Conquest since Mojang went to 1.7
What with the move, is your old donate link still current?
Nice to see some people are capitalizing off of the situation by illegally making money off of redistribution of derivatives of my work without even obtaining permission to do so... :/ On my own thread, no less.
I've been following this thread for about 2 years now (not posting, just reading), and I just want to say that it's truly awesome to have you back, Misa. It sounds like things are getting a bit less crazy in your RL, and I hope that trend continues. Reading your wall of text yesterday brightened my day no end.
Nice to see some people are capitalizing off of the situation by illegally making money off of redistribution of derivatives of my work without even obtaining permission to do so... :/ On my own thread, no less.
I just wanted to share a compilation of different packs. Money for it will not take. The title even have it modified pack from Misa (so only posted in this thread). If not satisfied with the previous link, but with Google disk: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9ALPMDYr289WTF2Yl9FN2h3d0E/edit?usp=sharing
I wanted to offend nobody, forgive if that not so.
Misa,
I know you've gone through a lot, but just knowing you are okay is good enough for us that appreciate the heart and hard work you put into what you do. I am a patient person, and I know the results will be utterly worth it. Keep your chin up, kid, and do what you need to do to take care of yourself first before you dive headlong into the storm of creativity I know resides in your soul. We're here for you, even if sometimes it doesn't seem like it!
SPOOOOON!!!
Second of all: It is a pity that McPatcher don´t support connected textures, random mobs and custom colors anymore. This pack is basicially relying on those features to make it as good as it is. Damm you McPatcher!
"Even if saotomato wasn't who he claimed to be, what exactly would you be reporting his post for? Which rule specifically would that post be in violation of? "
"The Fraud Act 2006 makes it an offence to dishonestly make a false representation with the intention of making a gain or causing a loss. It is difficult to see how any kind of impersonation, no matter how odd, cannot have the intention of causing some kind of tangible gain or loss. Gain or loss must be loss of money or property. Loss to reputation can have incalculable damage in this regard."
Any claims made about your person without your knowledge or consent can be construed as fraud. Any illegal activities would be a violation of board rules.
I'm unclear from your post as to whether saotomato was or was not who he claimed to be, but now that you are back it is irrelevant.
My post was intended to draw you out if you were still around. I wanted very badly to send you some money whether or not you intended to ever update your pack, but I could not possibly send money if I didn't know your circumstance.
Now that I know you are OK, I will send a donation immediately.
I didn't mean to imply that I 'knew you' any further than what I wrote. You appear to be a very strong, confident person who wouldn't rely on surrogates to speak for you. I respect you, your work and your talent.
In any event, whether you found my comment offense or not, you have provided me with endless hours of entertainment and brought a considerable amount of light into my life and I'm glad you are back.
I have sent donations before and hope the one I make tonight will help you with any struggles you are experiencing.
I never meant to offend you. I only hope the best for you in all things.
It's around this time I actually got in contact with my real life best friend over the phone and asked him to let everyone know I was alright. Sorry I didn't have much more to go off of to have him relay at the time.
...
I didn't send an anonymous person, I was on the phone with a friend, he mentioned people were thinking I was dead and I asked him to let everyone know I was alright.
...
I didn't give him one because I was operating off of limited information myself at the time and had no estimates for when I'd be able to return to the community, let alone the status of the pack.
I would think this would be enough to confirm my identity, but oh well. It's not about me, Misa is back!
You're back, Misa! And now living in my neck of the woods--the Deep South. Congrats on your move....and I feel for you, growing up a country girl myself with no access to running water or internet during most of my teen years. To keep warm, we had to actually cut trees in real life and haul the firewood to the house. (Minecraft makes it look easy, but believe me, its not.)
Even as an adult, I was paying $50 a month for "high" speed internet through a satellite that was sooooo slow. It took 20 minutes to download a 2 min vid on YouTube. You then hit "play" hoping it actually does so, but often it stalls and you have to reload the vid. Still, the fake "high-speed" satellite was better than the 26 kbits speed of the phone line. My frustration reached its max when I started taking online classes (it was WAY too far to drive to both college and work everyday), and I needed to watch videos for some of my classes. One day I was in the middle of taking an online test and some heavy clouds blocked the sky, cutting out my internet. Talk about me panicking, afraid I was going to fail the test. Happy, half an hour later I got reconnected and finished the text before the timer stopped.
Finally, I had had enough, and bought a house in town. Besides saving on gas money from long drives to work, I was finally able to enjoy the benefits of having real high speed internet for the first time. Imagine watching a YouTube video IMMEDIATELY when you hit play. Actually playing on Minecraft servers….with real people. An impossibility when I lived in the country. Oh, and I can talk on a cell phone...and hear people. Something else I could not do in the country.
Good luck to you, Misa, with getting settled in, job hunting, and getting a new computer. You're very talented, but I also know how hard it can be to get a great job in the rural south. Don't feel guilty for taking donations for your work. You deserve it. Take your time getting back to working on your pack. (I'm looking forward to finally seeing your flowers someday.)
Also, I recommend growing a small garden. Its one of the main things I miss when I moved into town. Fresh tomatoes. Store tomatoes don't ever come close to the rich, delicious flavor of tomatoes straight from the garden. The pacing of country life if far different than city life. Truly, it is lovely to take time to stop and smell the roses. Enjoy just being alive.
I'm glad you do, I'll continue maintaining this as the updates roll out until such a time as you're ready and prepared to pick up your pack again!

And thank you for the best texture pack in the whole universe :-) ... tried so many, but this one is simply perfect.

With the new mincraft now having the ability to do 3d detials on textures do you think you will add this to some of your own textures?
