Lol in all seriousness - I came across this video being played at an executive board meeting at my current job about a month ago. I immediately recognized the backside on camera at 9:20. Had me cracking up as everyone was really studying what exactly "that guy" was doing. And all you can see is my backside (still cracks me up when I think of it now).

Over the course of my time at CraftyMynes I've had random people ask what I do for a living. This was my job back in my early-mid 20s. I couldn't find the "what do you do for a living" thread that Crafty put up a year or so ago, and it's not quite a selfie, so here it is in its own thread.

Note: first shot of me is at 9:20.

My job during my 20s.

Hi guys, it's been awhile. But I logged on where I last left off (Phoenix Rising Headquarters) and to my shock, it's in ruins! Darkness and water everywhere. I ran through the base seeing all the ruins and then imagining what they must have looked like in its heyday. It’s best described as awakening from a long sleep and seeing the residents have vanished, and I wandered the ruins looking for clues as to what happened...

I guess it's nice at least no one touched the janitor's closet.

RIP Phoenix Rising Central HQ

Sorry you missed it Humdiggity but I’ll shoot you a PM later.

I remember you. WB!

thanks everyone! Tons more ranks from this and I have a ton of stuff now I now need to figure out what to do with!

Parting thoughts to future Valgys when he reads this:
Trades roughly 3 weeks after reset

• Extremely high shulker trades, probably can bump up prices by 1.25-1.5x.
• Low iron trades, probably the one thing I really needed, lower values if trade happens right after reset again
• extend VIP discounts to white names to VIP+ upgrades ref. bgmg convo
• surprisingly high gold blocks trades. Look into adjusting prices higher
• almost no diamond block trades. Look into adjusting lower to encourage trades.
• no beacons. Need more incentives/discounts
• no elytras. Need more incentives/discounts
• high slime trades, but seems acceptable to rates

did all the trades I had queued up and I'm taking off to do some business IRL. I may get back on to see if there's any new trades but looks like it's winding down. I'll update the thread title to indicate I'm no long accepting trades for rank later today.

Update: given so many 1/4 bills in queue, it makes sense to remove the previously stated cap of 10.

Update: bgmg brought to my attention that, given the prices stated, a white name could purchase VIP+ by buying VIP then a rank upgrade and get around the fact that I didn’t provide bulk discount rates for gold blocks and elytras.

As such I’ll honor gold and elytra trades from white names to VIP+. 20 elytras or 54 gold blocks would be the price to get from white name to VIP+

@Mayorga Is it possible to pay now for an alt I'm gonna be using in about a week or so? Because I have an alt that doesn't have VIP, and I'm also gonna be changing its name, until that time comes is it possible to pay now (well when we are both in game) ?

Hmm, I'm afraid not, I don't really want to be doing any more payments past tomorrow. My apologies.
