Hermitcraft Season 9: Motivational Messages - #58

What did you do to make the great Goat Leader proud?

[@emmdeekaysays173]

Today I learned there's a fine line between motivational quotes and authoritarian propaganda

[@RFDN0]

I didn't know there was actually a line. Both are designed to get you to do things you probably do not want to do.

[@rolson99]

​@@RFDN0 one makes you learn to depend on yourself, other makes you depend on the government.

[@RFDN0]

@rolson99 Most motivational speakers are selling you on either information they are selling or tools they hold. The motivational quotes that don't relate to the previous are normally mixed bags where, for a usually smaller percentage, they will work. Those that on average work for a larger percentage usually are vague phrases which normally have the person derive their own meaning. At that point the actual benefit from the quote is debatable as a person insulting you with a vague insult can and has on multiple occasions pushed people to improve themselves in a manner equal to or greater than those attributed to the motivational quote.

[@anarchosnowflakist786]

there is no such lines, most motivational quotes work as propaganda, if they're not for a leader, they're often for an ideology

[@cookies23z]

@@rolson99 actually there is plenty of authoritarian propoganda that tells you rely on yourself... Plenty of the "Be the Strong man!" usually the intention is "be the strong man for your country" but still, the message isnt always "obey" but often "be useful" which doesnt need to explicitly state "for the government" its why there is a solid amount of overlap with corporate "training" stuff like sht from wallmart or amazon or other big companies, with "oh you are wonderful, make sure to snitch on people who want to unionize" or similar, even if you dont like unions its pretty shitty to not let talks happen regardless, or firing people for trying it

[@chicagogr81]

You know, it's probably for the best that Doc is usually fighting against Grian. If they ever were to join forces they would destroy the entire server in no time.

[@kerilithia]

I think they were ready to admit defeat until they realised that all the sniffers from the hole were dead. They were Grian and Mumbo's sniffers and their children so they decided to not end it here.

[@ilcian]

But during the random block replacement, there was only one sniffer in the room. Master stroke would be to get them on the brink of surrendering, then gift them their original sniffers back to finish them off. Doc wouldn't kill a name tagged mob, look how concerned he was about the horse with the saddle but no name tag...

[@stormyknight713]

I watched Grian’s last episode with my son. I didn’t expect their camp to explode but was not surprised when it did! I looked at my son and said, “Well that tracks.”

[@DaTimmeh]

Lol, I had about the same reaction. When Doc showed the sign last episode I thought “that’s cool, but feels like something is missing here”. I expected something more technical than redstone line+tnt spam, but can’t say I’m disappointed. On the contrary, the simplicity of it makes it all the better. He spent time on the part he cared about (the cool sign) and the revenge was just a nice addendum.

[@SamBorgman]

Yeah didn’t know he hooked that up to some TNT. Brilliant surprise.

[@-FutureTaken-]

[@Narzissist]

I really love how every little thing can lead to a full-fletched serverwar 😂 Mumbo ages his copper a little to close to Grians‘ base, so Grian builds a tower on Mumbos‘ Base. Because of that, Mumbo creates the statue of liberty on Grians‘ Base, so Grian has to get more copper to top that. Because he has to get copper he finds DocMs‘ machine. Because he was bored while smelting the copper, he writes in the chat, that he won‘t finish the back of his base, Scar, iMpuls and GeminiTay come to annoy him into doing so. Because of that Grian an Scar are flying to the machine. Because it‘s Scar and Grian and they are the most chaotic people on the server, they both press the noteblock and the rest is history

[@chocolateloving2544]

It could only happen here

[@Nimeya13]

I only saw one sniffer down there, and it didn't have a nametag. The sniffers seem to have been spirited away when we weren't looking.

[@TectonicEdge]

@@RedGylPossibly, although No one on the buttercup's side knows that based on Grian's episode so the effect will likely be the same regardless of if Snoot survived or died. Plus given how much doc seemed annoyed with the sniffer onesie, killing the sniffers could have been catharsis by proxy. I'm leaning towards a Sniffer Genocide route.

Honeycombing the copper really is the final touch, this is phenomenal

[@purplenickname]

Really loved how you used the discs here, was hoping to see something like this ever since tango showed off the range mechanic and you nailed it. But just saying, because Mumbo's making his new big tower and by that point the discs are very quiet, perhaps increase the range by 100-150 blocks? We don't wanna leave a buttercup under-motivated do we?

[@Ithenna]

Although to be fair, Mumbo was kinda dragged into this thanks to Doc... And he had nothing to do with the tunnel bore blowing up. I mean, yeah, he built a counter mech, but he honestly only blew up like, two blocks off the goat mech in the end, so he's pretty harmless in all this.

Once they get used to the speaker you should make individual sounds that start the same but turn and calls them by their name, and have that played manually while they're online. I'm sure it would freak them out for good.

It was good of you to change the range back to local for a couple reasons: 1) Professionally, Tango’s reaction reminded me that during streams in particular it would be very obtrusive. 2) Story-wise, we wouldn’t want the entire server ganging up on the authoritarian goat… yet

I was thinking one or two of the midday ones could be server wide, but the morning one would be funny as well!

[@leoeitan7067]

Okay, admit it. You changed the range off-camera to cover the entire server, didn't you? I can't wait to see all the hermits' reactions when they constantly hear motivational quotes every single day. 😆

[@alendonvaldor5808]

I feel this would be entertaining for a little bit, but annoying if left too long

[@bowxfire5275]

It should just make like a creeper hissing sound and stop. Maybe a villagers hmm. Maybe a rocket sound of someone flying. That would freak out anyone even if it's for the 100th time. Not very long at the same time.

[@atillerthehun8039]

The morning intro would be good haha

[@Hufflepuff_cookie]

​@@bowxfire5275🤣🤣🤣 that would be amazing. Although Cleo is immune to creeper jumpscares because of her stream. But that would be so funny to see everyones reaction!

[@matty4z]

I cant wait to see what Docm thinks about he automated base going "green" in his next video haha XD

[@Lorentari]

Next episode will be interesting i bet

[@Werewolf914]

I was dying of laughter at those Dystopian messages I especially love the "you could've done more" 😂 and Tango writing pass and then leaving the game just made me lose it. I can't wait to see how everyone reacts

[@Coolgirl_ig_]

My favorite one was the, Vandalism of the great parameter will be met with dyer consequences.

[@Narzissist]

What I really love about you, Doc, is your fan-interaction! You always read the comments and look at fanart, that is amazing ❤

[@docm77]

I try

[@not_yayyy]

​@@docm77and we love you trying! I also love the hour long videos :)

[@spinalicemightbeacat4589]

that cannot be more true, I have been scrolling the comments for HOURS and I can't find a comment that hasn't been hearted by doc

[@comet.x]

suddenly the solarpunk is starting to look less like sustinability and good vibes, and more like 'ony he great goat leader gets to live in luxury' it's so dystopian and It's awesome. Every time a message plays i can internally hear frostpunk's foghorn

[@LavenderTownsGhost]

It took over two weeks, but I marathoned every Season 9 episode so I can look forwards to new videos each Friday (after Doc gets back from vacation of course) Also, can you imagine if Doc left the messages at max range right before leaving for two weeks? He'd come back to about 5 different retaliation pranks.

[@manguy01]

That amazing PA system was like something out of Fallout or something! So creepy and friendly!

[@SpaceVxid9972]

Imagine if the motivational quotes were in vinyl form so you could just blast your home with motivational quotes all day! 😂

[@Neowarshark]

i wouldn't mind that don't give him ideas i buy a vinyl of that if wasn't to expensive that is :D

[@efesti2986]

this thumbnail art is absolute perfection, kudos to the artist!

[@balthazar259]

Beat me to it, I was gonna say it really made me crack up

[@mr.boomguy]

​@@balthazar259sometimes, being second - but seen, is better. You may've been drowned in the comments

[@FighteroftheNightman]

Tbh most of the time the art is terrible. But this one was actually decent

[@2karu]

@@FighteroftheNightmanaw what, i think the thumbnail doc features is always great!

[@mr.boomguy]

@@2karu I think he means that it's too 'profesional' sometimes. Like to the point of it being too much visual noice. With these simpler ones, you get to see the artist, not just the painting

I didn't know doc until last month. I watched the entire season and now i'm finally on time for the exit of new episodes...i think i might have taken the grind bit too seriously...lol

[@elijahcabacungan2915]

Gotta admit seeing the perimeter now, knowing what happened next, is weird.

[@drthmik]

Don't you find Doc's motivational message to GRIND so deliciously ironic!
