    Fish Fear Us | Just Enough Opinions #26 feat. @cloudywd

    This time on the cast, the crew get wd on - the creator of the popular fishing mod Starcatcher! Listen to the story behind Starcatcher's creation, what they are planning for their next project, their opinions on Twitch streaming and vanilla advancements, as well as them ragebaiting Siuol with the SPICIEST of takes - all that and more! Sorry for the cuts in the video, Dom's power was cutting out due to bad weather so we've lost some footage. Most of it was caught though so we stopped talking about anything important ahead of time and didnt lose it - the only time we didnt it only lead to a loss of like 5 minutes where we were having unrelated technical issues and were getting super distracted so nothing lost there anyway. Sorry anyway, we are looking for a solution to these kind of situations so hopefully we'll figure that out soon enough. wd's CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/members/wdiscute/projects wd's Discord server: https://discord.gg/tCs89QTuzn wd's Twitch: http://twitch.tv/cloudywd Starcatcher CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/starcatcher ------------------------------- Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 04:18 Why wd REFUSES to use other people's library mods 06:26 We looove recording this podcast 09:41 How wd's hatred for this space mod resulted in Starcatcher 25:59 wd is reinveinting these Minecraft mechanics 34:16 wd: "I am NOT making a wiki game" 40:34 The great config and datapack separation 47:18 Going fishing 58:47 Why wd's tendency to namesearch paid off 1:04:58 FISH FEAR ME 1:06:16 wd: "AI is COMPLETELY USELESS, just watch KaupenJoe tutorials instead" 1:12:32 Why none of us knew what static meant when we started modding 1:19:04 Why you don't read official documentation as a beginner 1:25:02 Forge is like a potato, if you think about it 1:28:23 Why gcat is NOT thankful for KubeJS 1:30:00 wd ragebaits Siuol with modloader hot takes for 10 minutes straight 1:39:22 Why wd HATES the CurseForge modjam 1:46:55 wd's favorite fish and the opinions on The German Butter Crisis 1:50:08 Big fish, small fish 1:52:00 wd: "The vanilla advancements are OVERRATED..." 1:54:11 Why wd watches Twitch instead of movies 2:06:23 The Funny Machine: "How do you make the midgame more interesting?" 2:12:33 Outro ------------------------------- Camerawork by: Dom, G_cat Title and timestamps by: G_cat YouTube: https://youtube.com/@justenoughopinionspodcast Discord: https://discord.gg/b8vDTVPQ7M Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/justenoughopinions Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/justenoughopinions.bsky.social
