If we could get away from the whole "fanbois suck/no u" thing for a minute?

Am I supposed to be able to build/place walls in this? I can't find a crafting option for it and you can't seem to place wood.

Ummm, playing skyblock challenge. I broke the ice but it didn't turn into water. Any ideas why?

The real answer is that you must either leave a torch next to the ice block or cover it with something else. That way the ice melts rather then shatter.

But I already broke it multiple times and it turned into water. And what do you mean cover it?

It doesn't always break. And by cover it, the simplest way is to place the ice and then place a dirt block over it. Break the ice and you're guaranteed water. It also will not re-freeze.

Lemon: A term, often used in automotive circles, describing a specimen that fails shortly after purchasing, usually due to substandard building or design.

A very unofficial definition, but you get the idea.

Ramps or stairs, yes. No Terraria, I don't want to repeatedly tap the spacebar to go up a staircase, I'd rather just hold the A or D key.

Actual ladders would be nice as well, to give the W and S keys some function other than gravity potions.

What kind of "meaningless violence"?

If you're playing a mature rated game, you should already be expecting that kind of thing. If the game is cartoon-y, the violence is so sugar-coated that one can always assume that the monsters are merely knocked unconscious.

Please clarify.

Hey i like things going splat, i love meaningless violence to people and farm animals(The kind you eat)
Dogs are just a special case for me

I love games with some humor but not the "LOL DOG/CAT GOT RAN OVER AND LOST HEAD OLOLOLOLOL" kind of "humor"

I dont want a toggle button for violence, Hitman did that enough. I just want a new PEGI indicator for violence to animals.
Its obvious that a shooter would include atleast a bit of gore and meaningless violence, but its not always obvious that you will have to kill a dog too, unless its called "Dog Slaughter Sim 2003"

"Violence to animals" is covered under "mild/cartoon/strong violence", at least here in the States with ESRB. If you so much as slap a gorilla in the face with a paper fan, you get some level of violence tacked onto the rating.

Why should dogs get such special treatment?
(big) Cats are frequent targets, as are birds, bears, warthogs, rodents, and reptiles. Is it just because dogs are "man's best friend"? What makes dogs, even monster dogs that try to rip your face off, more deserving of (virtual)life than other humans?

Ohhhhh. That makes sense, I guess.

Necro was banned, I knew it would happen but still I had this small sparkle of hope that he would get the hold of himself. I quess it was too much to hope for... I found him likeable, if troublesome poster. Reminded me of my good friend. I'll drink a glass of mineral water as a ritual of wishing good luck for him in his future endeavours.

In other news, I looked closely in the mirror while ago and I noticed that I look absolutely hideous. As If I hadn't been sleeping at all in the last 6 months, which is pretty accurate actually.

What did he do? All I know is I've seen his posts here and there, but I don't think I've seen anything ban-worthy.

My cat disappeared two months ago. I still don't know what happened to her, but I've mostly assumed the worst 

So long, Suzy Q. It was a good 17 years.
