What is your favorite genre of games? If there is a specific, why is that?

I don't have a single favourite. I really enjoy games with heavy structure. Turn-based strategy, RPGs, deep and complex mechanical systems for me to dig into. The whole push for 'open world' and 'sandbox gameplay' is good on paper, and a great selling point, but overdone IMO. I'd like to see more structured experiences. Emergent gameplay is enjoyable but not my favourite.

They need darkness. Will be fixed in the future.

Obviously one of your favorite books is dune, hence the username, but have you read the other books in the dun series?

I've read every Dune book I've gotten my hands on

Have you already checked out the MindfoldParad0x modpack? It is quite expansive and it sounds like something you'd like to play!

It's on my radar. I'm hoping to tackle that and Pathfinder sometime.

Is someone able to join the patreon server even if I don't pay 30 bucks for it? can't really afford it sadly, but I'm currently in love with the Regrowth modpack, and would love to play with you guys on the server.

Thirty!? That's crazy talk. Check out www.purplementat.com/faq for details

Have you played a lot of vanilla minecraft? What was / were (is/are) the greatest thing(s) you have build in vanilla?

I played vanilla for a few months. My best builds were technical. A double skeleton spawner water ladder farm, which collected into a crusher that left them at half health, so a splash potion of healing could generate lots of easy experience. A redstone driven automagic wheat farm where you just had to hold right-click to generate ten wheat a second. I tried to build a long rail-road, and ran into chunk loading issues.

Are you going to cheat back to the point you were at in the quest book?

I don't think so. Most players on servers had a similar setback, so I think I'll do a quest blitz

When you say you are a Feminist, how exactly do you define feminist?

I've only ever been asked that question by someone looking to pick a fight or tell me how wrong I am.
I am a feminist because women are at a disadvantage in my culture. I would like to see that disadvantage eradicated.

Do you have any advice for people that overthink? Should they see a professional to talk to?

This advice applies to everyone. Are your thoughts and feelings stopping you from being happy or accomplishing your goals? Then talk to a therapist. Are they just worrying you but not stopping you? Talk to a therapist.
It might be long term therapy, or it might be just a few sessions. Either way, it won't do you any harm.

DId you have to cancel today's episode for the real I said earlier. Either long load time (hours) or the quest reputation reset?

Internet issues at home. Silly technical difficulties.
