Minecraft with my sister update: we explored the continent's tiny patch of swamp and a bit of the large bamboo jungle covering much of the west coast. We found a panda and I fed it bamboo! I wanted to show my sister lush caves so we quickly found a cave opening and descended. We also came across an abandoned mineshaft, a dungeon, an amethyst geode, and a pink axolotl! However, I was absolutely not keeping track of where we were going, so when we wanted to resurface we were utterly lost. I have keepinventory on, so we jumped into a pool of lava and respawned at 0,0. I was getting vertiginous, so logged off. (1/2)

I'd given my sister the boat we used to get from our home village to the jungle, so after I logged off she decided to try circumnavigating the continent (which is larger than she thinks). Later, I got a panicked email that she was hopelessly lost thousands of blocks from home, with some attached screenshots of cool scenery seen along the way.
I sent her this map with my estimate of where she had gone, which helped her get home, an arduous journey that took over an in-game week, maybe two. Her bed "slipped into the arctic depths by accident" and was lost, forcing her to "push forward in the darkness over several nights, sometimes hacking through foliage without even being able to see what was underfoot", navigating only by F3 coordinates. Eventually, after "crossing an ocean for what felt like 20 minutes", she saw a line of torches she'd placed on a mountainside between the home village and her mine. She just emailed me, "honestly, I feel like I now completely understand how columbus thought he discovered asia when he really found the americas." (2/2)
@nev If you have time for it, I'm an admin on a Pixelmon server and we'd love to have you pop by some time
@WanderingBeekeeper thanks, perhaps! I've never played Pixelmon. What difficulty is the server on?
