The old colony on Oney's server was destroyed last night by griefers. Not to worry, I have a backup colony I've been working on in single player. Might have some bugs/jank since I converted it to Java from the Bedrock Edition map format. Message me your Minecraft name so I can add it to the white...

Jade has returned to the deep, following habitat evaluation. Everything looks green for longterm use of these modules, and I do mean longterm. Now to shift my focus to Hambunker and Megahab.

Feeling a lot more confident in these habs now that I totally rebuilt them using improved construction techniques. This should mean better reliability across the board moving into the future, with Megahab in particular. Gate valve problem was easily solved simply by replacing the habitat shell an...

Good news: The right hab module is 100% perfect. Tight as a drum, to where I'd even trust it at 1atm down to a depth of a couple feet. It's the nesting and recreation module. There's no food, water or litterbox in there, so it can remain permanently submerged. This is practice for the eventual pe...

T-minus 48 hours until the habitats are re-submerged. Silicone takes forever to cure and I only remembered today that I meant to disassemble the gate valve, wash out the accumulated silica granules, then re-assemble it. That needed to be silicone sealed to the habitat shell too, otherwise t...

Until now I have attempted, with new habs, to rely on washers with rubber gaskets to seal hull penetrating bolts connecting ballast pods to the habitat shell. This turns out to only sort of work. If pressure is lost, water ingress occurs.
So I yanked both habs out of the water, tore...
Maybe the real underwater hamsters were the friends we made along the way?

Be advised: Hollywood lied to you. The worst case scenario in an underwater base with a hull breach is that your shoes and socks get soggy.

Announcing Hambunker: The subterranean hamster base!
Not to worry, progress continues on Megahab. It's just cold as fuck out right now so I can't do anything with the pool. Megahab only needs to be ready by Summer, in the meantime the most frequent suggestion besides Hamplumbia has been a ...
Some people say Christopher Jones still watches over us to this day. Those people are all me though.

Is a hamster not entitled to the corms of his cheek pouch? "No" say the Rattitors, "they belong to everybody"

Still on vacation for one more day. Forgive the lack of updates, internet sucks out here in the woods, on an island. I meant to be back by the 17th but had the chance to extend it by 10 days and jumped at it. Will now return some time near the 27th, with a fresh video soon after.

Following upload I also found the 110v plug male end I bought from Home Depot and attached it securely to the end of the heater pad cord. The gate valve needs a little silicone after all I think, but that's not a big deal. Basically all I'm waiting on now is the correct threaded male fittin...

Still can't find the fuckin' drill battery charger, may have to just bite the bullet and buy another one. Or finish unpacking my stuff. I am torn here, between my laziness and my stinginess. Surely you can appreciate the dilemma. Anyway hope you guys enjoy the aquarium cam, it's weirdly hypnotic ...

Tier 1 supporters get a jar of authentic Hampture aquarium water. Tier 2 supporters get signed, framed copies of my lewds. Tier 3 supporters get a ten minute erotic phonecall wherein I roleplay as a bashful Louie Armstrong.

It's been a long road. Those pompous fools at the academy said it couldn't be done. They laughed at me! Laughed! But now, as I stand upon the precipice of triumph and look down at them like the tiny insects they are, I feel only warm satisfaction trickling down my pant leg. Wait, no, that's...
