Since apparently they don't teach this stuff in high school nowadays, here's a brief thread on how to write an email in a professional setting. This isn't the ONLY way, but it's easy to remember and will serve you well. (1/?)
@wabbedu
@tinfoilchef
Damn... I'm really sorry to hear that. He was something special.
Please let us know if there's anything the Hermitcraft community can do for you or your family.
Recently started watching Rings of Power with my wife, and I have to say, I'm really happy to see
@BdoubleO100
branching out into other forms of media beyond Youtube!
I didn't know him personally and I never spoke with him, but I recognize what a large part of the Minecraft community he was.
Rest in peace, Technoblade.
Rest in peace TFC. He was one of the most genuine and chill guys I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He brought a lot of joy to a lot of people over the years.
I process things better through art, and so I wanted to draw a small tribute to both TFC and Techno
I can’t imagine what their families are going through but I hope that they can feel comfort in these times
When I die someday, I hope people throw a big party at my funeral, make irreverent jokes, and just generally have a good time celebrating my life instead of being all somber and stuff.
Take it from a military veteran:
Do not post information regarding Ukrainian troop movements, locations, actions, etc. Modern intelligence organizations ABSOLUTELY monitor social media for information.
Idk for sure if this is everyone, because it doesn't come up very often, but:
Both of the new guys
Stress
Impulse
Me
That's 5 out of roughly 30 Hermits. For comparison, we had like 5 people who could play drumset in my entire high school of 400 people
So ngl I somehow completely missed the memo on Dredge. Hadn't heard of it at all until
@GeminiTayMC
's starter base was inspired by it. I picked it up on Steam last night.
HOLY COW IT'S SO GOOD HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS GAME
Parents:
Make sure your kids understand they're not REQUIRED to go to college right after HS, or at all. Make sure they know stuff like trade schools and factories exist, and that it's okay to work for a few years while they figure out what they want to do with their life.
I can only speak for myself:
The decision to not show my face has everything to do with looks.
I got hit with the ugly stick and my appearance would scar the children for life
To whom is may concern:
Generikb is NOT a member of Hermitcraft. He is not part of Season 8. He is not currently logged onto the server, and everything he has said and/or shown in relation to HCS8 is fake.
That is all.
DO NOT drink alcohol to "cool off" if the temperature is so high that heat stroke is a real concern (looking at you today, UK).
Alcohol dehydrates you.
Drink. Water.
I'm a US Army veteran with 11 years of service and a deployment to Iraq. I'm a staunch supporter of the US Constitution and the ideals of this great nation.
I'm also against fascism.
I guess I'm a terrorist now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
BLUF - Bottom Line Up Front
Lead with the most important thing. This can often be a one-sentence summary of the contents of the rest of the email. For example: (2/?)
I do not plan to return to Hermitcraft S7. Starting the season late derailed me pretty hard, and at this point I'd rather just leave it behind me.
I WILL be back at the start of S8.
Before folks get TOO upset about the prerelease, I'd like to remind them they paid less than $30 for this game once several years ago, and have never had to buy any DLC for all the regular updates since then.
Find me another game supported so well, for so long, for so cheap.
GUYS. There are two P's in "rapping" and "rapper". Normally I'm not one to correct people's spelling and grammar unless asked... but it kinda makes a big difference here. 😳
And that, my friends, is a brief class on how to compose an email in a professional business setting, using a situation I've completely fabricated for demonstrative purposes. I will now take questions. There will be a quiz next Monday. (END)
How freaking hard is it to treat other people with respect? Apparently a lot of streamers/Youtubers can't seem to grasp this very simple concept.
Go plant a tree and replace the oxygen you're stealing from the rest of us, then get the heck out of this industry.
Today, for the first time in the history of ever, someone called me an "SJW loser". They also said that as a veteran I should "stop being a coward" and shut up.
Sometimes, you just can't fix stupid.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
6 years ago today, I married the beautiful and wonderful
@Mrs_Welsknight
. She made me a better person. She's also been quietly adulting behind the scenes for the entire lifetime of my channel so I could have the time to make this a career.
Happy anniversary, honey. ❤
I'd love it if Minecraft dogs got the same treatment cats did. Multiple patterns, different colors, etc.
It makes me sad that there's no black dogs, since every dog I've ever owned has been black.
Things companies pretend to care about:
• LGBT+ rights
• black people
• women
• the environment
• whatever progressive thing is trending
Things companies actually care about:
• money
I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, PERSON WHO TOOK MY USERNAME ON A RANDOM WEBSITE, BUT I HAVE A VERY PARTICULAR SET OF SKILLS AND I WILL FIND YOU
jk, I guess it was myself 5 years ago
Finally, your signature. I prefer to sign off with a signature block, following this format:
<Name>
<Business, if applicable>
<Title or Occupation, if applicable>
<Contact Info>
For example: (6/?)
The US Supreme Court ruled today that employees cannot be fired for being LGBT+. This basically turns LGBT+ into a protected class for employment purposes. Happy

Military personnel: You swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution, and you are required to disobey any unlawful order. Consult with JAG if you have any doubts.
"I was just following orders," is not a valid legal defense under the UCMJ.

@ZombieCleo
Dear Cleo
I love your videos so much
So the best gift I can give you is my faith
Allow me to take a moment to spread the word of our lord and savior, lanterns and end rods
Sincerely,
The Minister of Light
I don't care about the color of your skin, your religious beliefs, who you love, or which political party you belong to.
If you're good people, you're welcome in my community.
Next comes anything anything which you need from the person you're emailing, whether it be a question, an action you're requesting, etc. Also add any supporting information for that. For example: (4/?)
I wish you could get villagers to follow you by holding an emerald in your hand, just like you can lead cows and sheep by holding wheat. That would be nice.
I told my sister with depression she should exercise more by going for runs with her dog and now she's been doing it regularly and she's super into it and I'm super proud of her 😊
Welp, lost everything on stream to a creeper... including my valuables shulker box. 20 diamond blocks, full enchanted netherite gear, etc.
Add a couple more days to the next Hermitcraft episode release date >_<
Just because someone doesn't swear in videos does not mean they don't swear at all.
I'm a big fan of motivational sentence enhancers and extra-impactful verbal punctuation myself
Your closing should almost always be something polite, usually along the lines of, "Please let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!" For example: (5/?)
I know in the past I've done daily Hermitcraft episodes, and/or daily videos. That's not going to be the case this season. I want to put significantly more time into each video. I'm going to aim for 1-2 episodes per week, but the videos will be done when they're done. 🙂
OK, technical MC players:
Am I correct in my understanding that with the new changes to mob spawning in Java 1.18, it doesn't matter what y-level you build your Enderman farm anymore (or any mob farm, for that matter)?
Lmao watching a self-proclaimed "amazing builder" get clowned for every build they've tweeted because every single one is just stolen from people with actual talent
I do love a good dose of karma every now and then
Don't want us to get burned again speculating or hoping that Mojang adds extra stuff to the base idea of the new mob. Don't assume the mob is going to do anything whatsoever beyond what's said in the video.
Sniffer all the way, because new plants.
If you haven't been keeping up on the war in Ukraine, the Ukrainian counterattack has begun, and they have reclaimed over 800 sq km from the Russians in the last 5 days. 🇺🇦
Over the years I've come to strongly suspect I have ADHD.
I finally decided to get tested, and after I got referred they basically said I had to come in like 3 separate times and the first was a walk-in. That was a month ago.
Actually get tested challenge level: impossible
Listen, y'all are never going to convince me that cats are cute and cuddly. They are evil.
They have ears. You know who else has ears? SATAN.
I rest my case
For all you know, when I'm not recording, I'm drunk, swearing constantly, smoking 3 packs a day and cooking meth to hand out to the neighbors on Tuesdays
For the record: I grew up in the bubble of a tiny rural town, in an era where it was normal to use words we now consider offensive. I'm still learning, even now. If you ever catch me saying some outdated or offensive term, please correct me on it.
"War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse... There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them."
-M.A.S.H.
People keep telling me to go to bed. Folks, it's a well established fact that full-time Youtubers go to bed when the sun comes up, sleep until noon, and rarely leave their house. We're basically vampires.
People keep saying Helsknight couldn't exist because there's no bad part of me.
That's just not true. Everyone has bad parts of themselves, including me. Everyone does bad things from time to time, including me. That's just human nature.
Think I'm gonna take a VERY short break from Hermitcraft while I fix my audio stuff. Don't panic if there's not another video until April, I'm not pulling another disappearing act 😅
