Clickbait title: OOPS! Did I Do A Colonialism In Minecraft?! This video has been "done" for a while now, but I had a lot of trouble finishing it owing to a lingering sickness in my lungs that has made it difficult to record vocals that don't sound froggy and gross. Aside from that bit of TMI I do want to stress that I really love Minecraft, I love creative games, I love construction games, I love logistics games. All of the game footage in this video is mine. I have it because I own all these games and have played them all for somewhere between dozens and hundreds of hours each.

    a sandbox game where you interact with the enviroment, where you are the only entity that can force their will into their land, will inevitably result in the dinamics of imperialism, because your main directive will always be to ease the way you reach your objectives as much as possible, when youre doing something that would be unethical IRL, it has little consequence to you, so why not just do it.

    (also, why did they included factorio, the game is begging you to see that youre the bad guy in the story, you poison the land, you kill the local fauna in the most brutal way possible)
