That is some surprisingly good VFX for a meme. I wonder if the background is fully CGI or if they recreated it and cut.

Oh dear god-emperor that is bad. But also kinda makes sense for the situation? Measuring time in year-fractions instead of date would make a lot more sense on any planet other than Earth, and using local days would make things far too messy.

While this is funny, I'm pretty sure it isn't real (or it was intentionally written poorly)- It doesn't make any sense in Chinese either, and most people in Hong Kong know English at least somewhat.

Now you also need a creeper farm (or a generic hostile mob farm) to farm gun powder

Check. A basic mob farm was one of my earliest builds, though I'll have to upgrade at some point.

a nether porthole shortcut to a desert to gather sand

Check. I live right next to a desert so I've got all the sand I need. But what do I need sand for, actually?

and a sugar cane farm.

Check, though that definitely needs upgrading.

Oh .. and later on a phantom farm to gather Phantom membranes to endlessly repair and renew your elytra.

TIL phantom farms are a thing, but also I've already got mending so that isn't much of a concern.

Yep, I actually got 3 in my trip to the End. The first one took me I'd guess about 40 minutes, then the next two took me no more than 10 minutes.

To be fair though most of that first 40 minutes was spent just walking to the first end city, after that I found 2 more end cities right next to the first one. Also all 3 end cities had ships, which I think is pretty lucky?

Nope, smoothbore muskets were/are much more accurate than most people think, here's a video of someone shooting at targets with one, and they were able to hit a man-sized target out to 150m. By modern standards it isn't great but definitely not "flying all kinds of directions".

The Youtuber Brandon F has a 4 part series talking about why they fought like this. Spoiler- it wasn't because they were stupid.

Part 1

TLDR- if you split up you just get run down by enemy cavalry.

Part 2

TLDR- a close formation lets you concentrate your firepower at one point.

Part 3

TLDR- a close formation makes communication and controlling the army much much easier (or even possible at all).

Part 4

TLDR- the formation makes the troops less likely to run away.

My project has been retconned so much I don't think it can even be considered the same world anymore, however here's some of the most major changes:

-The entire genere changed from steampunk to fantasy then to post-apocalyptic.

-The country I initially focused on was completely removed, along with the entire continent.

-Planet turned into a large moon orbiting a gas giant.

Cool, how stable is it?

oof, good luck enforcing that lol, the Benchy's one of the most modified models out there.

What the hell is that contraption? There's a guy holding a scythe along the ground, which can maybe hit people along 10% of the vehicle at most. There's 2 fires just strapped to the front which... why? If you run someone over there isn't much point trying to set them on fire as well. And then there's the crane, which I just cannot comprehend what it could possibly be used for.

I noticed that this community didn't have an icon so I made this one. It's probably way too high res, but I wanted to be safe since I didn't know what resolution Lemmy icons are supposed to be.

I also made a flat colour version.
