Thunder and lightning! Wait a moment. Does anyone truly grasp what the phrase “Thunder and lightning!” really signifies? What logs of mine are we discussing? Do I genuinely wish for them to “quiver”? Is there an Anglo-pirate dictionary available that could help us decipher what Blackbeard and his mates are saying?
While we await Google Translate to incorporate pirate lingo into its database, you might want to explore the pirate haven known as the Golden Retreat of Cutthroats and perhaps pick up some slang along the way! Before establishing this safe space for rogues, Swift began crafting on PlayStation 3, where he discovered that imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery and used it to learn what he needed.
“My initial building projects involved replicating tutorials from YouTube and creating my own versions,” he shares.
The limitless creative possibilities of Minecraft PE captivated Swift. Much like the old pirates, Swift cherished the freedom of the open seas – the blank canvas of MCPE allowed him to explore his imagination.
“I truly enjoyed the liberty of being able to do whatever I wanted,” he explains. “A lot of what I created was inspired by those YouTube videos I watched, such as making my own maps for Hunger Games and working with redstone. From a young age, I was fascinated and obsessed with redstone mechanisms.”
During that time, Swift decided to engage in plundering the purest waters, which led to the birth of the “Golden Retreat”.
“I aimed to create something truly bright and unique. As the name suggests, this place serves as a retreat for pirates returning from their long voyages at sea. I crafted islands to develop a sort of shield, featuring high ridges and cliffs that are difficult to attack. There’s also an old watchtower castle used to keep an eye out for the Royal Navy or perhaps other pirates looking to seize power.”
Safe from the King of Justice and other pirates seeking loot, the Golden Retreat is a splendid spot for weary pirates to catch their breath… and maybe take a bath. After months spent at sea, have all your pirate buddies locked themselves below deck? Yes, you probably ended up quite mature and didn’t feel like eating. Well… unless the ship ran out of food…
Yo Ho ho! Just kidding! There are no cannibals at the Golden Retreat! We know that much. Just plenty of vibrant colors and the personal style philosophy of Swift!
“I always built unique structures in beautiful colors, regardless of realism. I strive to create something that brings a new perspective to building, something that hasn’t been done before. Now I realize that this structure has many proportions, but I never tried to make everything proportional. I focused more on ensuring that everything looked good, no matter what.”
Stop! Arrr! Honestly, I don’t even know what these pirate terms mean either! I should have asked for a pirate dictionary as a Christmas gift!
In any case, you can see how stunning this retreat looks; Jack Sparrow would feel right at home here. In fact, it’s likely Jack Sparrow’s abode.
“The only thing I had for this was a building style conceived by a friend and the movie – Pirates of the Caribbean.”
Write me sweetly, yo ho-ho! Should we wrap up this article now before I spend another 80,000 words indulging in pirate gameplay stereotypes?
