[@rendog]

I have good news my peoples... Blue River Raceway is ALMOST ready for it's first ever Hermit Grand Prix - we actually did a thing! :D RD

[@olivermuthu4243]

How many laps Ren? I think a multi lap main race would be epic! Amazing job as always

[@sebbes333]

*@rendog* 11:40 You need to ask Cleo to make a bear-rug* carpet in front of the fire :D ( *or similar, ..., maybe an Ender-dragon rug? ) :D

[@AkiSan0]

the loft portal should be a tiny loft instead of the black and white border!

[@drdreddmanofmystery9482]

That's weird. Is your voice ok? You sound an awful lot like Tango.

[@S3kawa]

Nice

[@rubbydraco1334]

Hermits should advertise their shops along the track, like all these sports sponsors

[@Daniel-rd6st]

Would be cool, but i have a feeling that the server will wrap up soon after DO2 and the race ends and a new one will start sometime after the current life series is over.

[@darkroselight3835]

"B Double R" being abbreviated to Brrrrrr as in cold, made me laugh so hard. I don't know if that was intentional or a happy accident, but what a clever name!

[@PapaWoofs]

I'm hoping that the race track area is where folks decide to decorate for Christmas. Tis the season.

[@brady1701]

Agreed

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Late night Ren and Cleo really have that vibe of Cleo and Joe... they riff off eachother so easily and they are just so very strange which usually leads to really funny interactions.

[@ttry1152]

Those 3 in a room is cha9s

[@boemmetje]

When ren speaks afrikaans and because your dutch you actualy understand most of what he is saying... made me chuckle. My children went hey we understand that he speaks english and dutch like us! Corrected them but they now adore the rendog even more

[@henkdestokvis656]

Wow I just realised that South African is so simmilar to Dutch that I could kinda understand Ren when he was speaking Afrikaans

[@KelseyGonzalez]

I've heard it's basically dutch with some linguistic evolution! What did he say?

[@HermicraftAddict]

If I remember right, the Dutch had mining settlements in South Africa. Along with Germany and such. That may be an influence.

[@chicagogr81]

The season of mini games continues! Total Chaos, TCG, Decked Out, meet Blue River Raceway.

[@Spatzleboy]

"mini" games :D

[@jayofthep]

I'd love to see a "Hundred things to do on the Hermitcraft S9 server" video to send the season off in style :D

[@bsidethebox]

What a fun idea!

[@AncientDebra]

And someone acting like a bored whiny kid, "But there is nothing to do!!!" Lol

[@goaliepro6887]

@@AncientDebra I think Grian would be perfect for that

[@E_Unik]

Ask Tango about the fast redstone line thing. He's solved that for decked out's sound system

[@ronanh.9261]

Yes exactly this!

[@hendrikwilfriedlaporte5755]

Or Doc, he's got some machines to keep chunks loaded while you're not even there!

[@pietro93vit]

I would pay real money stolen from a bank to see Ren teaching African to Cleo

[@applzd]

That would be something! (btw, it's Afrikaans)

[@jayofthep]

I learnt to play/sing the "Click Song" (in xhosa) not too long ago... my South African friend was very impressed haha

[@grutarg2938]

That would be so much fun. I loved when Keralis taught JoeHills how to Rickroll Iskall in Swedish.

[@qocket]

Afrikaans, there is no singular African language.

[@ckester5742]

About a hundred of them actually! South Africa alone has 12 official languanges, including South African sign language

[@spooked_glitch]

The chunk loading issue might be easily fixable by just having cam accounts loading the area. The other hermits would probably be willing to volunteer theirs as well which might also help with the chunk loading issues you were running into during the Decked Out Guest Stream with the track not loading fast enough for the racers at the front

[@kezi7728]

Correct me if I’m wrong because I don’t do any redstone in Minecraft, but wouldn’t chunk loaders work or does it have to be actual accounts?

[@itmeurdad]

I think the Redstone may be "working" because the rockets are removed from the dispensers. It may actually be render distance related.

[@sirtr3bla7]

Would love to have you do an Afrikaans intro with some Hermits, to show there is more than 44 of us 😂😂. Dit sal nou lekker wees! Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos, your child like joy shows through in every video and will always brighten up your day. Dankie Ren.

[@mindlessentertainment896]

Yess kry ek nog Afrikaans sprekende dis nou al 38 nog net 6 dan het ek almal ontmoet 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@stanvoets3728]

As a dutch person, I would love that

[@TyroRNG]

@@stanvoets3728 it has a bit of an "accent" compared to Dutch but it's mostly understandable XD

[@plantcraftie4141]

@@TyroRNG when reading it, it sounds like West-Vlaams

[@TyroRNG]

@@plantcraftie4141 no west-vlaams is easily understandable when comparing them. I would say a level further than dutch to Flemish (if their difference is X, the difference with Afrikaans would be at least 2X). While I would be able to understand most of it, I don't think I'd be able to have a conversation without issues unlike with Flemish.

[@mapwheel00]

Some colored beacon beams that activate as you approach the finish line would be cool.

[@Et_Exterminatus]

Poor Scar. I love how Scar just makes everything so funny, either because he is going out of his way to be funny, or because he is being an absolute goofball and suffering.

[@N1ghtDoesGacha]

I just love rens energy and in other series his role playing and in building and stuff with his storytelling just his energy just brings me joy

[@qocket]

It is crazy the amount of polish that you have put into this racecourse, the thought and care that has gone into this race is more than most people put into their bases.

[@CyborgGrizzly]

This is what I can't wait for in the world download. Forget Decked Out, forget TCG, forget horse course. It's all about BRR

[@ckester5742]

This will do nicely as a replacement for F1 now that the winter break has started, can't wait!

[@Moingboy]

I loved the progress montage! It seems like we see so little of what the hermits actually do these days, plus that music was deliciously smooth

[@jeffafa3096]

16:17 Hearing Ren speak Afrikaans is the true treat in this episode ❤ I am Dutch, so I actually understood it, and I would love to hear a conversation between Ren and Cleo in Afrikaans one day 😂

[@MicMokum]

LOL @ Ren saying "Lekkerrrr" to Cleo.

[@Darksnowman13]

I really enjoyed having Ren on a life episode again

[@notclur]

Hearing Ren say lekker made my day, I’m crying😭😭 I knew Dutch and Afrikaans were similar but😭😭😭😭

[@gracepaisley]

The details on BRR and all your and Etho's hard work makes this one of my favorite pieces on the server, and something I'm so excited to see on the world map download when that comes out!!! I dont have confidence I'll do well, but it will be amazing to get to experience the fun of the raceway!!! :D

[@shipwreck9146]

I wonder how large the world file is hahaha.

[@ludofax]

32:35 There is actually an 8+ hour ice boat race track out there

[@cavinator1]

I'm excited for the grand prix of the BDoubleR! Not to be confused with a certain hermit with a really big smile

[@temperamentaltyrant4599]

i think the second part of polar bear express could use an arch or a build around it to make it feel special, i love the raceway and ur videos, keep it up

[@faith-by-faith]

Your Tango-ficating was impressive, Ren. You should be proud.

[@beanieful204]

"What have they done to my boy" - Cleo 2023 made me chuckle. Also we love a multi-lingual RenDog :)

[@keib.616]

Blue River is truly amazing, absolutely beautiful, and I'm so excited to see it officially open. And hearing your voice was the best surprise when I clicked on Tango's video, I've missed seeing you in the latest Life Series chaos and am so glad you got to at least get a little taste of it this season.

[@traceycoggins8641]

Awesome job as Tango Ren ❤ Was so happy to hear you back on Secret Life 🎉

[@AncientDebra]

The "montiage" music is a vibe and I love it! ❤❤❤

[@lichtfigur5302]

Hi ren, for next hc season it would be cool if you could try to make a grand prix series with other hermits where every contestend also build a race track and you have a race every 1-2 months or so. Like a championship with points and an overall champion.

[@Slamer_ertha]

So happy to see this project take shape.

[@themushroommancave886]

looks amazing!! might i suggest that some advertisement for hermits shops on the tracs would be funny

[@TheStaffmaster]

Get a hold of Doc, and have him throw a couple chunk loaders in near the start of the course, and perhaps a few along it to help with rendering issues.

[@bobsthejunk88]

Music during the timelapse was 🔥

[@NedJeffery]

For the boat dispenser room. you should put the dispenser facing up UNDERNEITH the block with the button.

[@OscarLT321]

I never get bored of being able to understand south-african as a Dutchie

[@Dorench]

If you've ever been to a historic race track in the UK this should look very familiar! So accurate and you weren't even aiming for that!

[@onyxtautuhi3473]

8:28 is just fire! That track is so simple!

[@Drolfwulf]

you should get Doc's help setting up chunk loaders to keep the track loaded for racing!

[@FireallyXTheories]

Man, season 4 callout! I remember that like it was last week. The Doc/Etho minigame district and borrowing diamonds from X to bet on Etho's games. Memories! XD

[@ericvaninwegen6384]

Ren, someone who's had to deal with long distance redstone-ification would be that fella whose brain you had to inhabit on secret life. He might just have some insights for you!

[@ronanh.9261]

Yup this!

[@AdamHarrisonEros]

Next on MCC, Rendog Boat Races!

[@soomi]

Hello! Dutch person here. At 16:18 rendog says: "Cleo, you shall speak a bit of Afrikaans with me, one day. Okay? Nice!" To be fair. "Lekker" can also translate to yummy, but Dutch/Afrikaanse people use it as "awesome/cool/nice" as well. The more you know! Fyi: I don't speak Afrikaans, but we have a lot of similarities with our languages, hehe.

[@PixieeSG]

Ren I'm currently losing my mind trying to learn to code, I have a project due tomorrow and I have almost no idea what I'm doing, making all sorts of noob mistakes, lol... but you're sweet voice and relaxed energy in the background are what are keeping me sane, thanks

[@plantcraftie4141]

I never realized the boat track was THIS LONG until you guys did the race

[@unclecheese1157]

I know that it's already been said But hermits shops in signs along the racetrack would do wonders, specially in the polar bear express , and would give that Mario kart 64 vibe

[@erinpriest9491]

Floaty Boatys!

[@ludofax]

Boat racing is the best mc feature. Change my mind.

[@daan9211]

As a dutch its amazing to hear rendog speak afrikaans, it sounds like a russian trying to speak dutch

[@xinlu2806]

Loving to see the BRR finishied and so excited for the grand prix! Maybe some of the hermits would like to form a small christmas district around the track?

[@nicholasspringall1886]

Probably one of the best timelapses I've seen.

[@KiraVA]

this whole episode is super comforting to me

[@martinw51]

Hat is off to you, ren for powering through this race course I can not wait to see the Grand Prix!

[@statelyelms]

"It's supposed to be racy" Oh, Ren.. I don't think its quite *that* evocative

[@MisterUnconcerned]

This is why persistent worlds are so amazing. You can kick back and do your best work without watching a clock. Still want to see more Clocktower games, what Tango has for DO, Joe's pinball machine, and Pearl's amazing terraform.

[@lightninghuff]

If the server is 1.20.3 you can name the boats with an anvil like "Hot Rod" for GoodTimesWithScar.

[@kezi7728]

I was so surprised to see you on Secret Life! I was watching Lizzie’s video and was very confused why tango wasn’t tango but I knew I still knew whose voice that was. I then realized that you were randomly filling in for tango

[@elijahfour]

Omg Ren and Cleo are adorable! Love it!

[@ianpayne9345]

Loving the racetrack! I must say, I feel like the start archways could possibly use a little polishing. Doesn’t seem quite complete to me

[@sunnybee91]

BRR has turned out so cool! The little detail really bring it to life.

[@imnotadoofin]

Would be cool to see custom boat designs implemented in for the racers!

[@DrKvo]

That timelapse was so satisfying.

[@athinghere]

timestamp?

[@juhor.7594]

On the race day you should ask to borrow other Hermits' cam accounts for a few stationary cameras. Based on Tango's videos using the free cam to follow players is pretty hard.

[@hallgowrt]

You can add white snow maps to the uncovered parts of the map I reckon it will look great, that way!

[@Flaminstarwarsguy851]

Just when I catch up on Ren's videos, he uploads another one. Let's gooooo!

[@ashtondoublet8334]

Glad to see that you beat that South African Sausage Cold Tang-I mean Ren 😅

[@another_jt]

BeerButter, for when you don't want to infringe on any other world's trademark information.

[@eloquentornot]

I'm so excited for the stream days!! I thought the races would just be in videos, but a big event with everyone at once sounds great!!

[@TheSilentPr0tag0nist]

One thing I would suggest before finishing is that there is a big hole in the mountain covering the begining tunnel that you could mabey terraform. I am not asking you to do the whole tunnel (and I kinda like the half covered estetic) but there is a bit of it near the middle that looks kinda wrong that you should probably cover up, but if you dont its fine, the track looks amazing regardless! 😎👍

[@manuela1711]

Now realised that south african sounds a lot like dutch. I could understand him a bit 😊😅

[@castlebeki]

sameee, i was so surprised, i guess he is from a part of Africa which was colonised by Dutch people.

[@nothingbutgianttrees1995]

I enjoyed that boat race more than u expected- made me reaaally wanna make my own now omg

[@sergeantsarcasm7]

Love blue river raceway. It's so cozy

[@HeartGamer26]

I am so excited for the Grand Prix it's gonna be amazing! You and Etho did such a wonder job on the raceway

[@jasonolson7966]

The boat race is awesome! I've been getting excited for this since the special guest decked out stream!

[@MrJonathansb]

You Can time the laps with an etho hopper Clock!

[@nunothekitten]

So happy to catch a new episode just as I finished working!! Yippie!!

[@soupysauce23251]

Here for installing those lights in the tunnel! I watched it happen live!

[@grutarg2938]

There’s enough games on the server now for the full Hermit Olympics!

[@bensheekey1399]

"Maybe it's just us, we're both weird" It's not just the 2 of you. The majority of the server is weird and that's why i love hermitcraft

[@NyxinCollective]

Yo rendog!! happy to see the boat race!!

[@ozelhassan8576]

That was AWESOME, so much fun. 💎✨✨✨✨✨👍🏼👍🏼

[@LocoNeedAChickenWing]

Get Cleo working her magic in the stands. Maybe some pit crews

[@UnrequitedMites]

i was a little worried the special guest decked out livestream was gonna be BRR's shining moment, i'm soo hype for this! sad the season is coming to an end (probably) but i canNOT wait for this world download so it kinda evens out. ❤😅

[@ronanh.9261]

I absolutely love this video!

[@elric_l9852]

Congrats Ren and Etho! BRR definitely stands out as an amazing effort for Hermitcraft Grand Prix -- 2 day stream sounds like a lot of fun!

[@BootyDoctor]

loved seeing everyone racing at the end! what a fun project this has been to follow :D

[@nasiskahn]

I love that cheesy 80s race music! Perfect! Glad you got to race with some of the guests. The course looks beautiful. I can't wait for the Grand Prix!

[@comette1991]

the easy solution is having a camera account load the chunk where the fireworks are during the rrace

[@waffleclan1831]

Dude... this guy sounds an aweful lot like Tango after South African BBQ 😂

[@emhoj97]

Curious how Ren sounds exactly like Tango with sausage-throat 🤔

[@christhompson1422]

Ren, you are a freaking legend! I cant wait to see this boat race!

[@nathanmulder8947]

When I heard Ren ask Cleo if she could rrrrrr or gggggg i knew he would bring up Afrikaans.. It scared me half to death when he spoke it tho, super surreal lol

[@justinofpreece]

It would be really cool to have @martyn and @MCSkizzleman be commmentators for the races!

[@Leonardo-cw1dd]

i enjoyed episode 6 of tango's secret life ren. im curious to see his reaction to how many hearts he has left at the end of the last session

[@xragg]

@rendog You should add balloons near the end or a part of the course that still just needs "something". Easy way I like to show balloons is to intermix colored glass blocks and concrete blocks, each with an end rod under it (or chain or lightning rod) for the tails/string. The more variation in it, the more it looks like several balloons floating away. Also throw in few larger "diamond" shaped (1 top-5 middle-1 bottom) with no tails. The very center block is a concrete, while all the surrounding blocks are a similar glass block. It really gives the effect of several balloons floating away in celebration.

[@Qilue2179]

I hope with all this collaboration that maybe we are gonna see some new Hermits in season 10?
