Out of boredom, I designed a redstone mob trap in Minecraft. Pretty self explanatory, mob steps on the plate, blocks shoot up around it, and as long as there's a roof above their head, they're stuck. A good way to trap a skeleton if you want a farm for music discs...just make sure you hit the creeper a couple times with a sword first before dragging them over to the skeleton.
Of course, in a PvP context, it can be used for something else entirely if you add TNT beneath the pressure plate. It's worse than a regular landmine, because it traps you in place while the bomb detonates. Though, this might have to be rather elaborately disguised, because no one is going to be dumb enough to fall for it, surely. In the screenshot of the stone hallway, the wood pressure plate and the redstone you see are fake - they're not actually hooked to anything. Look closer to the player, and you'll see a stone pressure plate shortly before it that IS live! The whole area is essentially just to trick you into not seeing the stone pressure plate. There's a bunch of seemingly decorative holes on the lower parts of the walls, which anyone would probably think has "tripwire" written all over it, but there isn't one...this time, anyway. Right in plain view is a fake pressure plate that doesn't match at all - conveniently lit by a nearby torch to draw attention, and it's right about that point where a player is probably wondering how stupid you really must think they are when BOOSH, their path is blocked before they even get to the fake plate, and there's a hissing sound. Still might not work, depending on how attentive a player is, but this is a reasonably decent scenario that I quickly came up with.
The trap itself does not have any convenient reset switch, I should add, because by design, it breaks something and renders itself permanently active, however it just breaks a piece of redstone and a redstone torch, so it's an easy enough reset. Just break the redstone torch down below to shut off the signal, add the redstone and the torch up top, and then put the torch down low back again.

Phew! Just got done playing through Inscryption, after letting it linger in Act 2 for way too long.
I know there's a whole metafiction plot, but if I've got to be honest? I really enjoyed the deckbuilding mechanics and found the whole live-action thing to be a sideplot at most.
I know there's an endless mod for Act 1 but I won't touch it yet. I almost want a standalone version of Act 2 or 3 as well if I've got to be honest.

How the fuck....I've never even gotten Despair, LET ALONE WAR(in 6-7 years)
It took me an extremely long fucking time, I have to admit. Technically, I started playing the game back in like...2017, I want to say? I had a few accounts since then, but never - not once - did I have all of Stalker's weapons. This is actually the first time I've had Hate, let alone War, with this account. You're not missing "that" much with Despair or War, luckily. I've had Despair twice, once on two accounts, and it's...I mean. It's Kunai. It's kind of lame, but looks cool for fashion, and that's about it. As for War...it's kind of decent, it just sucks that it's a greatsword, and thus SO FUCKING SLOW. Maybe with mods/stances I don't have, it would be a lot better, but mine currently sucks. But like Despair, it's cool for fashion, I guess.
For War, get Tempo Royale, best greatsword stance for all Heavy Blades, Hate Incarnon is decent from what I hear, but I use my Glaive Prime(with Riven)
I haven't listed my favorite games yet! Imma do that now, top 5 in no particular order because I love them all so dearly are:
- Warframe
- Titanfall 2
- Terraria
- Skyrim
- Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order(haven't played Survivor yet, but that would probably be up here too)
Shoutouts to Midway's Psi-Ops for making fun physics and psychic power sandboxes, satisfying enemies with multiple ways to combat, and an interesting framework for a story that unfortunately went down with the company.
They knew how to make very shootable looking enemies, too. Tell me you don't wanna telekinesis the middle guy into a wall.
