Anyways, she had a couple sons who were a good bit older than me, and they let me play Minecraft with them.

Could be wrong but it was pretty much the first time I’d ever played a real video game.

I remember specifically they had too many items installed, and a creature mod that added scorpions. There was a fortress they’d built and they decided it could be mine while I was there. I still remember how it looked.

Then they had some iron golems fight some monsters or something. They were later on scolded for showing me violence lmao. Different time.

I was known for being super sensitive to violence, but frankly it didn’t bother me. I’d go on to play Half Life 2 when I was 12, thinking Star Wars would be worse (I’m not kidding)

I was more afraid of the idea of violence than the actual thing.

I was a weird kid

Anyways, a couple years and a DSI later, my dad got me my first lap top. My Uncle #### introduced me to Steam and Portal, I got Kerbal Space program and my dad and I started a space race for the moon (he won, although his kerbal never made it home, his ship was destroyed, and the kerbal stuff actually happened before the lap top not after)

And I started watching DanTDM videos like CRAZY!

Actually I think that was also before the lap top, but before I got the lap top I wasn’t able to really get into Minecraft, since I only got to play it every other weekend. (This was around 1.8, though I had started playing in 1.6.)

Throughout my life it’s the game I’ve by far come back to the most, and will always have a special place in my heart.

And that’s the story of how I discovered Minecraft! ^.^
