it wasn't a fix, it was a nerf -- fire used to spread infinitely, it was changed to have a finite randomized generation counter (in part because trees are randomly generated close enough to surface lava pools to spontaneously ignite)

it was ok back when there were less trees. it was p loving cool when you'd be trekking around and come across a burning forest like a goddam hell scape. clear out a part of it and make a home.

now that is a bug

hmmm yes, my random map generator has declared right next to a pool of raging lava to be a suitable place for a forest, because trees spontaneously ignite near lava but only once they reach full size and the radiant heat won't harm them in the meantime or impact their growth

you'd think trees exposed to lava on a regular basis would eventually gain resistance to lava anyways

this is true, but it also solved the problem of explaining to crying 9 year old that if you light the god damned forest on fire next to your house, of course your loving house is going to burn down you idiot

wait how is this a bug? fire is a raging, unstoppable force under the right conditions in the real world and your description makes it seem like it was doing exactly that in minecraft pre-"fix"

one of my favorite things about "don't starve" is lighting entire forests on fire

don't starve is basically minecraft with all the sperglord sandbox stuff removed. your core goal is to not die, and that's plenty difficult on its own

i'm more impressed with how many copies of each ad there are.

i count at least 22 complete logos but there are only like 4 unique ones.

i'm also impressed that everyone's coffee mug is perfectly logo-facing-camera

:xbone:
no, microsoft has spent time meeting with networks over getting the brand mentioned and visible by sitting on those desks out there, the nfl has done its job from its point of view, it does not run the announcers or pre-game shows, it took the 400m for that creepy blue surface locker and let it be a thing that sits on the sidelines

nascar has the same problem, fox will not even mention entire races by their full sponsored name, as the sponsor is not a fox advertiser

so its a pure ms fuckup by someone thinking they had the nfl sponsorship sewn up but was then totally caught off guard when they finally realized in week 2 that they had to grease every palm the nfl product crosses along the way

it is incompetence at ms in action

it'd be funny if they made them use the surface one (the first surface, the table thing) and they still were like "wow this is one huge ipad"
