Under construction!
Cobbledump was a 2016-born Minecraft and let's play channel that was terminated in 2019. It updated
frequently for most of its lifespan, and at the time of its dismount it had 140 videos. All formerly-published
videos are still existent on some hard drive somewhere, and the objective is to reupload them all.
Significant microphone issues exist in videos 2 through 4.
Sadly this entire archive of files I have seems to suffer from a lax management of framerate meaning that
videos often get very choppy and look worse in moments than they could have, though not constantly. Infuriatingly and heartbreakingly,
I can't even remember or tell now if this is a new problem that happened to my data after the original video site
was lost or if they've always bloody been like this. I started reasonable compression of these videos in more
recent years thanks to the lifesaver FFMPEG, but I am pretty sure tests for FFMPEG compression doing it came
back negative, I don't think it's the recent compression's fault.
By the way, I used that Minecraft Alpha title thinking it was crafty back then, but I hate the common
usages I see of the word "nostalgia" now. I wasn't thinking very clearly when I came up with it. The
way our society uses that word is a mess and I was part of that in 2016. I played Minecraft Alpha then because
I wanted a small goal-oriented series. Minecraft Alpha was all I could get when I first played the game,
and so I played it out of necessity at that point and the world that actually has my history in it is
deleted. Now if I play Minecraft Alpha it's because the version is good. I wish to change the series
title. Fond memories of the game have nothing to do with it.
That being said, I'm perfectly chill with you guys calling this stuff 'nostalgic'. Because it kind of is.
