Cubfan Can Do It All! | Imp And Skizz Podcast (Ep116)

[@TibbyCaps]

i should have known the fletching table would be mentioned, the fact that he has the number of DAYS since the fletching table was added memorized is so funny 😭

Cub has this insane type of confidence that I can only admire. He accepts compliments so well, without diminishing himself at all, and still without coming across as cocky. He seems like such a great person to be around, and I feel like I could learn so much from that attitude!

[@AJB9806]

Extremely well said!

[@rachelkubacki1642]

Love that Cub finally has an episode. He’s so interesting. I wish he had been interviewed before the guest format switched to 1 episode instead of two. Would love to hear him talk more about the cosmos and his channel growth and how he broke it to his family about leaving academia for KZbin. He seems like he has so much potential depth.

[@vegabotain]

Cubfan part 2 is needed!

[@d.d.ucheabba5461]

You could go to his channel and ask him yourself. Even if he doesn't respond you have taken those steps to fulfill your "wish". Watch his streams if applicable and maybe those topics you mentioned will come around.

[@rachelkubacki1642]

@@d.d.ucheabba5461 I'm in every stream. It just questions they've asked every other person moslty. Just sad that Pearl and Cub were shorter interviews. He's normally doing stuff during stream and I won't want to interrupt with a huge series of questions.

[@silentwatcher5134]

The trick, Skizz, is to think up a project that requires multiple kinds of tasks to complete. Farming, gathering, mining, building. If all those things are required for one project, you’ll never get bored

[@simic0racle157]

@@silentwatcher5134 or you can also try to multi-task. If a task is making you bored, often it is because it taking up all of your attention in my experence. You can "fill" your attention with podcasts, or actually reading your stream chat. And it can help make focusing easier for longer times.

[@marieleelee]

Very true!

[@spinthepickle1244]

I like to have 2-4 projects (of different types) going so I can rotate between them depending on my mood or combine grinding activities when I'm just in the mood to grind.

[@quixtangle]

As a Midwesterner, I totally understand Cub's "yeah, we were pretty good." We don't admit to being amazing, even in the rare case that we think we might be. I kind of love him for this.

[@laineywright2696]

There is something about Cub's voice and cadence that I simply LOVE. Don't ask me what it is, but it gets me. No long drawn out syllables, or exaggerated notes is comforting to me. Good one guys.

Love how cub returned some questions to imp and skizz, and made it an even better conversation

[@annielin7544]

My favourite part of this podcast was when Cub and Skizz talked about the universe. The way they talk about it is filled with so much appreciation that it just fills me with hope.

[@marieleelee]

I love how this is basically an hour of Imp and Skizz fangirling over Cub lol Which is fair.

[@Van-dq4sw]

Cub's Stack of Papers will be the next artifact for Hermit-themed collections; that thing is Magic.

[@caloyyy6168]

Imagine bidding for that stack of papers in the next hermit auction. That would be like bidding for the nuclear codes.

[@Van-dq4sw]

@@caloyyy6168 That's actually even better than my idea - I was thinking like Decked-Out style representations, but IRL charity for the papers is smart. Could even do it in like sets of 10 papers or something for multiples.

[@gwynethambrose9682]

I think there's nothing wrong with Skizz and Cub being polar opposites! I get wanting to have and finish big projects, but I really like how Skizz goes and plays out in the big, beautiful world that people are creating. In that sense, he's creating not monuments, but moments, and that's just as, if not more, valuable. Plus I think the other Hermits like playing with Skizz, hence why they keep bugging him. xD

[@olencone4005]

A fellow student of Astronomy! Nice! Astronomy and Mass Communications (Journalism) were my subjects back in college. My idea was that if I couldn't become as Astronomer, I could become a Science Reporter at a newspaper, because newspapers hadn't started dying out just yet... unfortunately, I chose the wrong college. Two years into my degree, USF decided that a football team was more important than silly things like degrees and education -- so they cancelled the entire Astronomy program, fired the professors, sold all the gear to the Museum of Science and Industry across the street, and made all the credits I had earned in the program moot. My options were to finish up with Mass Comm alone, or transfer to another university and start from scratch... and I just couldn't dump that kind of financial burden on my parents. So I stuck with Mass Comm annnd.... became a Graphic Designer -- because newspapers had started phasing themselves into oblivion just as I graduated. I am god of bad timing! :P

[@mrfoodarama]

I've rewatched a few episodes myself lol especially the ones that are more life advice mixed with personal experience. I&S have that true friendship where they can chat so candidly, know most of each other's stories, so when they share it they can speak on whatever they're talking about with the confidence and wisdom that really tells a story along with a lesson. My favourite podcast by far.

Im so glad Cub was on the show. One hour wasn't long enough to pick his incredible brain!

[@liamengram6326]

33:30 My education career is extensive. I have an A.S. in Environmental Science. A B.S. in Biology and Public Education, a M.S. in Biochemistry, a Ph.D in Evolutionary Biology, a DPT, and a DNP. As someone who was able to retire young due to building a biotech/biochem research firm, I can't even begin to tell you how absolutely giddy I was when I found out that Cub has bona fide, journal published research. He immediately became my favorite hermit in terms of their pre-KZbin story. He was published in a hard science where data is concrete. And I immediately knew why nothing seemed to phase him... He has sat before a peer review board. One of the most ruthless social settings you can imagine, wherein everyone's hopes are to pick your work (meant to improve your reputability) in to little tiny pieces so that they can increase _their_ reputability.

[@rachelkubacki1642]

I love this comment so much. It is a wonderous insight. I adore Cub for his Academics as well. Listening to him talk about the moon of Saturn he studied and the birth of galaxies and young galaxies is enthralling. And how cloud don't exist. I never considered that standing before peer review is a good primer for the comments on KZbin and Twitch Chat

Cub is amazing, he grinds because he loves the game, the actual gameplay. Not a lot of people can say that. He’s a true appreciator of grinding/minding/gathering then building and taking advantage of ALL of Minecraft’s features.

That season 5 space nether hub that Cub built is one of the things that got me hooked on watching Hermitcraft.

[@eloquentornot]

That part about the universe being too big to comprehend but actually human conversation is even more amazing... yeah! The scale of the universe... it really is amazing to just try to think about!!

[@Daniel-rd6st]

Well you know, it might be a quote from Carl Sagan, not really sure anymore, but there is a notion regarding the universe, that has stuck with me. The universe isnt something seperate from us, we are part of it. Every atom in our bodies was created by a sun, we are literally starstuff! And if you look at it that way, you could say, that we are basically the universes ability to observe itself.

[@eloquentornot]

@@Daniel-rd6st Yeah! The Minecraft End Poem has a part about "you are the universe reading its own code" etc and it's so cool how everything really is all made of the same stuff in the end, we tend to think of separate objects but that's just a useful concept for us, every atom is mostly empty space between the nucleus and the electron orbitals so it's not like things are "really" touching or not etc but also the reality we perceive is just as real because our minds are real, too many concepts to think about all at the same time, it's all so fascinating!!

[@choppermann2]

Love the idea of the skizz challanges, from each hermit. The evolution of skizz…

[@shawnheidingsfelder8179]

If he doesn't have a running counter on his desktop for the fletching table fix, he should. I think one thing I've noticed about Cub's giant projects is that he's real good at breaking them down into smaller projects and getting those done in one or two videos. It takes a lot of organization, but he's not only a grinder, but he's efficient with his time as well. All the years of game mechanic testing is paying off. He also does projects that the other Hermits are interested in using when they're done, so they tend to help supply materials or do other things to make the builds go faster. Of course, it helps when a guy like Joe Hills is on the server, that lives to help others, and will drop resources on you at the drop of a hat. I think there's a lot of collaboration going on behind the scenes, not just to benefit Cub, but all the Hermits when they've got the nose to the grindstone.

[@antiisocial]

The "List" sounds like a cool idea. Can't wait.

[@rachelkubacki1642]

He’s already published a few episodes

[@truthhunterhawk3932]

Skizz, when you say you look out at the universe and think how vast it is, how unimaginably huge it is, it's incredible that we can indeed talk about it normally. It reminds me that we can look at things so large if not eternal and have eternity in our hearts, yet not be able to comprehend the end from the beginning. But in nature I see God, at least his handiwork, in everything good, in everything wholesome and beautiful and praiseworthy, and even, in an echo, in the evil and corrupted things in the world, for they once were good and now they are dead and dying. The wonder of the eternal is in my normal heart, yet I cannot see the end from the beginning.

You could render the block as an arrow and store the orientation as block state data.

[@MisterUnconcerned]

Persisitence is the word for Cub. He's dedicated. Season 7 was the first full season I watched him build, and that Pyramid was no joke. I built just the shell of it (231x231) in my desert mining area, and that was a project I picked away at over a winter. Let's not even mention the absolute bender he went on for Ancient Debris, and everything else he built inside the pyramid.

[@Questerer]

I’m not trying to be rude. But cub should give you the challenge of finishing the pyramid. Just continuing on that step by step is the grind you are looking for. Start with something small. Like cub said: all these small ideas make it complex. The pyramid is complex too. It just needs a lot of these small ideas to get finished. Love you skizz. ❤

[@kadeorade5296]

Something I’d like to see with arrows possibly with the fletching table- stun arrows. The video showcasing the glow squid for the mob vote showed the players being stunned in place by the glow squid- almost hypnotized, no such abilities have been displayed by the glow squid. My idea is that glow ink could be used on arrows to make stun arrows, arrows that, when shot at a mob, stuns them for a few seconds. When you’re overwhelmed by mobs, shoot a couple of stun arrows and run away to get your bearings so that you can continue to fight.

[@helburr]

I also have a BSc in physics and astronomy and I take a somewhat different view on our significance in the grand scheme of things. Yes, galaxies and black holes may be indifferent to us, but who cares what they think? As far as we can currently tell, values we care about like love, friendship, happiness etc only exist on planet Earth, and even if there are others out there, they are likely to be too far away to make a difference. In this regard I'd say we only appear more significant the more we zoom out. We are the diamond ore of the universe.

Skizz, you often make out that guests on the show are 'naturally good' at something when all these attributes you're amazed about are learned skills; people aren't just born with talent.

[@SilverChimera]

Well, to some extent, yeah. There's always a nature vs. nurture aspect, though - you can become great at something because you put in tons of time & work, but there are also people who are just naturally inclined towards certain things. Nobody's born knowing how to golf, for example, but having great hand-eye coordination certainly helps.

Love the Nat'l Park influence. So nice to hear Cub's influences. I wish the interview would have discussed his recent evolution into the skulk character, where his current base design ideas are coming from and leading. The diamond and redstone skulk blocks are really cool. I'm very interested to hear what he's going to do with the cave system near his base. His Hermit launcher is also a brilliant example of a recent design iteration on component invention within Minecraft. The process he went through would have been a great discussion because he took the simplest design, brought in ideas and knowledge of blocks and redstone to make it work really well. Thank you,
