Operation "Nordic Lock-in"

 You might be wondering about the title of this post, but it's real, I'm actually doing this!

Now, I might it called it an "operation", but it's more like a personal project were I'm trying to teach myself the nordic way with the help of ChatGPT (and maybe even Gemeni). And ditching the Romanian education way! It might have been improved along the years, but I'm not waiting until I'm like 50 to start understanding what is taught in school.

This thought started a few days ago, when I just found out that the Bosnian Mark is better than the Romanian Leu (RON). I took my question to ChatGPT, and instead of asking the question I had in mind, I started a whole therapy season with ChatGPT on the idea that Romania is a well-done (in the bad way) country when it comes to the management of it and other similar aspects. One of them being the education, which is already well behind most of the European systems. I mean come on! Even Bulgaria has better education (statistic wise) compared to Romania.

My conversation with ChatGPT carried on for the next hours. Until I realized that even if I sent an email to the ministry of education, the change would not happen for the next 20 ‐ 30 years. So, I took the responsibility into my own hands and started this personal project.

I will make sure to keep you guys updated regarding this project on the wiki and also on here. So, stay tuned and fallow the tag "Nordic Lock-in" for new posts about this subject! Also, I forgot to mention that I also started this project because I got a below passing note on the national evaluation simulation test. The real test is in the last week of June, so I think it's the best time to start this!

Also, there are only 4 days until Christmas (I will 100% make a post!), and just 11 days until 2026... Damn, that's sad.

I'm thinking of becoming an animator...

 I recently started to watch someone who I was aware of its existence but never got to watch his videos, that person it's Chipflake, or shorter, Chip.

He is a Britan that moved to Germany for lots of reasons with the main one being to be with his life partner. But I don't want to make this post all about Chip! I mean, read the title.

So, thinking of becoming an animator... This thought came into my head a few days ago when I got to known it's history tough older videos, now to be real with you, I kind of relate to him with a lot of things. One of them being how I sit while using my laptop, like I sit exactly the same! With my legs in front of me. Only recently I tried to sit normally, but there are colder days where my legs are freezing...

Anyways! Now from where does the part of "I'm thinking of becoming an animator" come from? Well just a few minutes before starting to write this post I watched a video posted by Chipflake about 5 years ago. That video is "Looking through my giant box of drawings", posted on 20th of November 2020, this video gave life to a thought of becoming an animator.

Now I don't think I will start to do animation from tomorrow, because there are a lot of things that I need to take into account. One of them being the name I'm using everywhere! If you don't know, the name "IulianArian" is my actual real name. The same name that shows on my ID, on my birth certificat, etc.

Which now that I think about it, doesn't sound good at all in other languages! Plus, the name "IulianArian" doesn't sound that good... Maybe I will eventually change it to something else, but right now I don't have any ideas, plus it will be frustrating to rebrand everything from my YouTube channel to my wiki.

So, maybe in the near future I will come up with a name that sounds good and is memorable.

I started playing Minecraft single-player...

 Today I created a Minecraft world on the version 1.16.5. Why on this version in particular? Well, it was the last version I felt happy playing it, and also it in my opinion it was the last version to retain the old gameplay but not in a way which felt too old.

Now that I have given a brief explanation to why I choose this specific version, let's get into the world details! The world I'm playing on has the seed -343522682, which is the seed of the demo world that is created if you don't have Minecraft bought on PC.

The curent "home".

Why I choose this seed? Well, back in the autumn of 2018, I started playing Minecraft. But because my mom was very anti-buying games, I played on the demo world. The demo world in particular left a very weird mark on my soul, it was like a familiar place that was at the same time unknown. And that's why I love it!

So, with that second explanation out of the way, let me tell you about the current induration of the world. As soon as I created it, I rushed into getting a bed using shears. Because I know that killing too many animals around the spawning chunks will lead into them not spawning throughout the world.

After that I made myself a cozy little home in the famous cave, where I first put down my bed all the way back in 2018. After that I started looting one shipwreck round spawn and started to make my base.

The state of the base so far.

After marking some foundation to my base, I started to mine a bit. But as you can tell by the time I posted this post, I didn't get too far with that.

Anyways! I think I've finally found that lost happiness to playing Minecraft. Now that I started this world, I will set myself one rule. One important rule that I cannot break under any circumstances. That rule is that I'm not allowed to cheat, even if I'm in big danger.

I set myself this rule because I did not beat Minecraft in the right way once in my life! I mean it was always like once I got to the end, I wound just do /kill @e[type=ender_dragon] and that was it! And now I feel bad for not doing it correctly, so that's why I'm setting myself this rule!
