Loving these. It's making me nice and nostalgic for the times when I was way into Achievement Hunter's Minecraft Let's Plays.

@ybbaaabby's video is also stuck on "processing". Hopefully everyone on the Beast Coast is doing okay.

@vinny and @brad: Here's a small niche reason for the resurgence of interest in cassette tapes: a properly stored quality cassette tape will likely last much longer than a CD. CDs have wildly varying decay rates, with some early CDs starting to degrade already. Tape can be more robust, again provided that they are stored properly. And it provides the "neat" factor of having something in hand, while being smaller and easier to display/store than vinyl. The handful of cassettes that I have are definitely more for show or from special releases that I wanted to own, like a recent special release from The Mountain Goats that came in a deluxe cassette package.

Physical CDs definitely still have their place, as well. There is a noticeable difference in audio quality between a physical CD and all but uncompressed digital audio. Also, speaking as a working audio engineer, I still burn plenty of CDs for clients, with about the other half accepting .WAV files shared over a cloud service.

I really keep hoping that Jan finds out you can make moving water into source blocks with kelp.

I know there's more to see on the other views, but there's something calming about watching Vinny make tunnels, lay track, or experiment with redstone while I treat the series as a podcast.

Regarding @brad asking if it's worth bringing back Nether Quartz; it lets you make some nice bright modern structures (put Nether Quartz in a 2x2 square in crafting menu to get the white building block). I horde all the quartz on my server for dope-ass modern buildings.
