That actually sounds like a good thing- Minecraft, just faster, more efficient, and easier to mod! Sure, the modding community will be different, but that's not really that bad if the mods for C# are better and freer.

Wait, Africa has stats, but Australia doesn't?

*claps*

That was beautiful man PREACH IT!

Another big update, which will be a pain to update mods to. Just what the modding community needs!

At the very least, when they finally DO update, it sounds like things will be a lot easier

Tis true. I think that parents should know what their children are playing, if they are really all that worried about the content of games. They could even actually try to play with their children, and try to bond with them. Honestly, I think a kid is better off sitting in front of a screen playing video games all day than wandering the streets, largely unsupervised.

New stuff has always been evil. The Romans were afraid that the new Greek literature would destroy society and corrupt the nation. I take a lot of these doomsayers with a grain of anti-apocalyptic salt.

Than if that's how people think their kids should be raised, who are we to interfere? I doubt it would psychologically damage/corrupt children (though it might).

There is nothing you can do about it. You want to pass legislation? Then you should pass some legislation restricting what movies and books you should see too. That itself would be problematic, since the rating body for film is not very consistent (Bully, a small-scale documentary meant for middle-school children, was given an R-rating due to cursing by students it was documenting. The Kite Runner got PG-13, for, among other things, the rape of a child.)

Though, the best way to make sure there is no inappropriate content in a child's gaming life is to know the games your child is playing. You could even try playing the game yourself- you bond with your children, find a new hobby, and better monitor their gaming life!

YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED.

But, for some reason, I don't see what's so bad about that. Really, some countries SHOULD get overthrown by an Illuminati-esque conspiracy.

But those are the best ones!

But seriously, if your a parent, you monitor your kids' games. It's what you do. Obviously, there are some games which are not suitable for children, but others are probably perfectly fine for children to play.

Minor note, but Satanism is actually a legitimate religion protected under the constitution, and usually nothing like Hollywood Satanism. Just an interesting thing to point out.

Yikes. Next time, lets just assume that EVERYONE you know is an Illuminati conspiracy theorist.^_^

Anyway, the Illuminati actually DID exist. Just ask Wikipedia. They were around in the 16th century, in Bavaria (Southern Germany). They opposed the Bavarian monarchy, and supported such immoral ideas as democracy, women's rights, freedom of religion and speech. They were crushed in the 16th century, but they always existed in the minds of European monarchs as an evil conspiracy group, just around the corner to expel you and establish a republic or some other heinous form of government.

Nice. In reality, new media is always viewed as inferior to and less "sacred" and "artistic" than older forms of media. For example, since books (and specifically novels) were the newest form of media in the 19th century, many people believed that books would corrupt people and turn them into lazy sloths. In fact, Cicero gave a famous speech in the Roman Empire defending literature (and specifically Greek literature) from censorship, because many conservative Roman senators believed that literature (especially newly assimilated Greek literature) would erode Roman values and weaken and destroy society.

Every generation believes that the next generation will turn out crappy. They were saying that society will have degenerated into a seething mass of lethargic hedonists in the 1950s if the current generation takes over.

What IS the difference between CurseForge and Curse? CurseForge is somewhat more convenient, and lists different mods, but what is the difference?
