Yogscast are one of those things that when I stumble upon them, it gives me this immense feeling of nostalgia and also sadness. Time flies.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Yogscast

Don't they still exist?

[–] mrbutterscotch@feddit.org 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, if I'm not totally wrong they started posting again a little while ago. But I primarily watched them in my younger years, so they remind me of that time.

They never stopped! They just changed focus from Minecraft

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

And now they're back to Minecraft. I think was the one to note that all the mods were getting pretty samee back in the day and they just kinda got bored with it all. Which y'know fair enough.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I think there's some controversy at some point and they never really came back after that. Like weren't they going to make their own game or something and then basically someone just stole all the money and left.

[–] Cavemanfreak@programming.dev 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

That happened, and they had their own me too and ousted a couple of people. But they are still going strong! They have just moved away from minecraft as their main focus

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 0 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

So they failed and then went on to, scam.

I mean to be honest that seems they are redefining failure.

Are these guys relevant in 2026? I feel like they're not.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

How did you gather that from what he stated?

Are you just trolling? Why do you have such a hate boner for a group you seemingly dont know much about?

There's a pretty cool youtube channel of a girl digging a basement under her house. So what I'm saying is: there's a man in all of us

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah thinking about it there's quite a few YouTube channels that basically revolve around I dug a hole for no reason.

There's the one where the guy basically excavated a basement for himself, and there's also one where someone's digging a mineshaft for no particularly good reason they just feel like it. They have to get it cleared by the city so some official had to come along and be like "yeah I guess it's fine, but why?"

Also Colin Furze who dug a bunker under his backyard and now a car elevator under his drive way

A secret bunker, no less. A big part of the initial project was to see if he could build a secret tunnel from his house to his shed without his neighbour being aware of it. I think by the time he was on to the car elevator he'd given up on that element of it though.

[–] MissesAutumnRains@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Doubly true because the children yearn for the mines.

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 1 points 20 hours ago

Off into the acid mines we go.

Dude, that scene in Breaking Bad where Jesse and Mike go get their stolen product back from meth users and Jesse just gets one of the guys in on randomly digging a hole in their backyard was gold
