#20 – Changing Minecraft, Hermitcraft's Explosive Growth, Minecraft's Niches

We have another fantastic podcast this week because we have the host of the AfterLife Recap on, Ron Beargundy aka Wintertooth100 joining Blondskunk and AllOutjay for the AfterLife #Podcast! They dive right into introducing everyone and reminding everyone of what platforms we are on, our Discord, our Members, the brand new AfterLife Recap, and our new Podcast Suggestions (suggest topics and questions for us to go over).

The hosts start with talking about how they would change Minecraft for the better and the lore behind Minecraft. What makes #Minecraft such a special yet unique game that stands out from everyone else. We also at some point talk about Minecraft Niches, if it is good or bad, and how #Hermitcraft is a great example of people having niches. We talk about how Hermitcraft has explosive growth happening.

Since this is Wintertooth100's first time on the podcast, we decide to ask more about him, what got him into streaming, why he stopped, and what would have kept him going. We also learn a bit about his personal life, what he has done in the past week, why he doesn't curse in videos, does he curse in front of his son, and anything you can name. We even get to see his room!

Timestamps are below if needed, but we do talk about other topics!
