Hermitcraft 10: Episode 16 - WHAT DOING?

Yay, Grian is back from Xisuma's basement! Also, I love the recent upsurge of larger length Hermitcraft episodes, going from ~24 minutes to ~36, give or take.

Thank you, Grian, for making a proper closed captioning and even going the extra mile with proper, color-coded formatting when multiple people are speaking! It’s so refreshing when so many other people nowadays do this baked in (can’t be turned off), overly animated, jumpy, word-by-word/line-by-line subtitles that only serves to visually yell at the viewer in the face rather than being there for accessibility purposes. Even though I might not have hearing difficulties, it's still useful to me as a non-native English speaker as it helps me better understand what was said.

Grian, I'd like to let you know that the shape of your new storage facility is classified as a Squircle, or in 3D form, a Squilender. What is a Squircle? A Squircle is a shape that has characteristics of both squares and circles. In order to find the area of a squircle, one must solve the equation (pi*r^2) /2 + (length × width) /2 Since your building is both circular and right-angleish, it makes it a Squircle. Thank you for your time. (This is all made-up by the way)

This episode was like pure ADHD representation without even grian realizing it, from the "putting off organizing" chest progress, to randomly popping in on people, to getting distracted by caves to not being patient enough to wait for scar. I loved it!

The timing of Scar saying "So what should we blow up first" as Grian's flying away is too good 7:38

Grian: We are gonna rid of pop-up shops... Scar: With fire! Grian: No. We also are going to punish people for not making shops for their permits... Scar: With fire! Grian: You're fired .

Joe at 34:45 with the "yay ladders!" is so cute souunding ahaha

"Reactive Building" is a real concept in other parts of life. If you keep chucking your clothes in the same corner, put a basket in that spot and that'll be where your dirty laundry sits. If you're stacking random pocket junk (keys, wallet, etc) on a specific surface, get a bowl for that spot and maybe run a cable to charge your phone while you're at it. etc etc

Scar "Then we burn their base." Grain "You are fired"

> sees that Grian didn't upload for 2 weaks > starts to think something happened to him, might be sick or just went on vacation > sees video of Gem asking Xisuma to ban Grian > Xisuma bans Grian > video ends with Grian cannot be unbanned because of glitch > panics > now understand why no content for so long > learns it was a prank > Grian uploads same day > big video with 37 minutes of content > is happy

I love how grounded this series is. These builds are gorgeous and creative but it also feels a lot more accessible to what I’d do in Minecraft

Grian: That's the reason this video has taken a while, because of building. Also Grian: Let's go play a game of What doing

Giran voice sounds so calm and peaceful. Love you grian.

so glad to see the "ehh maybe i'll dial back the permit office stuff" quickly change to doubling down and hiring more people to do permit office-related work, hopefully the supportive comments gave grian more confidence in the permit office shenanigans as its genuinely one of my favorite hermitcraft things in general, especially this season

0:36 "The most competent men on the server are Scar and Skizz" At 5:35, after five minutes, "You know-Scar you're fired."

I've already noticed this from S9, but I am happy that Grian walks us through the building process. It felt like I was watching Grian's build tutorials back in 2016.

How Grian will react to everything. 1. HAaHhahaA. 2. oh that just happened HahaAHaH. 3. What?.. 4. I'm not actually sure what's going on anymore. 5. he will say some British thing that makes us Americans feel both warm and confused inside

"What doing" should be part of EVERY episode. That way we get to see a bit more from the other's bases and a bit more interaction. Seems perfect.

For squid farming, just put a bunch of one block waterfalls, each a block apart, from Y:45 to 63, and have a drop platform with a hopper minecart at the bottom. Squid can’t spawn in bubble columns, and they fight against them when they get into them. They can’t fight gravity though! Source: tested this extensively in skyblock while trying to make fish farms. If anyone is interested, a checkerboard pattern of bubble columns and fence gates at the bottom layer is the way to go
