So I've decided Minecraft isn't right for me

Or any other sandbox-type game where you are the only person in the whole world, and you HAVE to make something out of sheer boredom.
I was just on Garry's Mod, on gm_lonelyisland. True to its name, its just.... an island. There's a bunker thing there too, but other than that its just..... nothing. Water as far as you can see. If you go inside there's tables, chairs, a hole in the floor going down to....... I dunno, a meeting hall?
Something like that.

And I left the map feeling...... small. diminished. dwarfed by the minisculity of myself.
and yes, despite Chrome's spell-checking putting a red line beneath that word, minisculity is a word. "add to dictionary", thank you very much.
And then I thought... well, isn't Minecraft exactly like this?
"Our world is created, its different every time
We start inside a box, the world on the outside."
That song was written when Minecraft was in Indev, when you started inside a wooden house. You could break the house for supplies (and before I found that trees gave wood, I'd do that), the world was yours... but you were alone. Nobody around. In Indev, the maps were a set size, so it felt like you were in a big plexiglass box. You could do ANYTHING you wanted..... inside that box.
Of course, with Infdev the world opened up. Theoretically endless. The world could be up to 8 times the size of Earth (but flat, of course) (if you don't run out of memory first).
Minecraft worlds CAN be several terabytes, if you actually go to every 'chunk' in the world. After a bit, it starts overwriting old chunks and you get errors. At the end of the.....
You know what, I'm getting sidetracked.
The point is, the world is HUGE and BEAUTIFUL, but EMPTY. There's NO-ONE and NOTHING around except for sheep, cows, chickens, zombies, skeletons and creepers. (yes, I know there's more, but those are the main ones)
And they don't really make good company in a vast empty world.
When I was on that gm_lonelyisland, I actually felt.... lonely.
Added to the fact that its 3:30am and everyone else went to sleep hours ago and its quiet and I'm already feeling lonely.....
Added to the fact that I'm getting progressively more...... bah, what's the word? negative every day......
Added to the fact that Garry's Mod doesn't have any sound (besides doors clicking open and closed, and THAT'S not sound).....................
fuck, i'm creeping myself out.
Time for OK Go.
"Let it go, this too shall pass."
Amen to that.
