Star Trek Online’s Chimerans prove to be more adaptive foes after this past week’s patch: “You will now see them gaining resistance to all damage types, once per damage type they receive.” Yeah, good luck with that you non-adapting space captains! And this is just the beginning of the rest of the news! Read on for a […]

Thinking about No Man’s Sky beings images of flight, space, and starships. So when Massively OP’s MJ learned that the new expedition was based on the ground — and only the ground — she was intrigued. It turns out that for this one, the task is to clean up a planet. Now that’s something MJ […]

Yes, we’ve got news from a Star Wars Galaxies emulator that isn’t SWGL for you all today. This time we’re highlighting Star Wars Galaxies Restoration III, the mashup CU/NGE variant that had a 1.0 release in 2022, which is preparing to launch its new Shatterpoint major content update for the classsic sandbox. “Shatterpoint introduces unique content and mechanics, turning […]

You would think that adding an all-new class to an old game like Diablo II: Resurrected would be a happy event, but then you also likely have never experienced ARPG players in public forums and subreddits, who primarily appear to be the angriest of human calculators. That appears to be the case among players of the game, […]

It takes all kinds for internet spaceship sandboxes like Star Citizen to hum, and one of those kinds is the industrialist player: the rock cruncher, the space trucker, the material and manufacturing magnate. If you’ve felt as if this aspect of the game is lacking, then maybe some planned updates from CIG will ease your […]

While Massively OP’s MJ already celebrated on Star Trek Online’s 16th anniversary, the actual event had not started yet. Now that it is running, she obviously has to celebrate again! But this party won’t be all fun and games (despite Q’s meddling). Starting with the new episode Curse of Phrygia then moving on to The […]

Time to kick up your feet and listen to a classic MMO tune! This week’s pick is We All Lift Together, a popular shanty from, oddly enough, Warframe and written by Keith Power. Give it a listen and see if you’re not whistling it for the rest of the day! And if you have any […]

I was surprised yesterday to realize that Nightingale had patched up on my Steam Deck without a peep from the devs, but I had only to be patient: Inflexion has now dropped a Steam post as well as a video explain what’s up. And what’s up is the co-op survival sandbox RPG’s second birthday since […]

Last week, YouTuber Ross Scott shared an update on the Stop Killing Games movement and its upcoming visit to the European Union Commission, which will see the campaign officially provide the over one million signatures of a citizens initiative as well as provide representatives an opportunity to talk with the Commission about the shutdown of […]

The Neverness to Everness closed beta is winding down, but Massively OP’s MJ is slipping in before the doors completely close tomorrow. She is interested in seeing what the game is all about, and of course, showing it off to you! Join us in live at 8:00 p.m. as Massively OP’s Stream Team takes a […]

This week’s Massively Overthinking is inspired by a tweet I saw from SMITE, of all games, where the Hi-Rez devs asked players to propose one god to delete from the game. Obviously, this is not a serious proposition, but in the aggregate, the answers can kinda show a trend in what people are tired of, […]

Every once in a while, into my inbox launches a game so ridiculous I just have to write it up, and today, that game is Roombattle, a “six-player vacuum-party-battler” that could not be winking harder about its very obvious pun name. Spanish developer Dust Games announced this afternoon that it’s launching March 25th, with a […]

Who’s ready for another PvPvE extraction title? Because that’s the new thing that Gaijin Entertainment and developer Targem Games is offering in the form of Star Wrath, which puts players into spaceships to harvest resources and… the DNA of slain enemies. Ew. “In Star Wrath, players build and customize modular spacecraft, head out on high‑risk raids, battle in PvE […]

The irony of returning to Project Gorgon’s tutorial isle is that the story is based on returning to said isle after already completing and leaving — which is exactly what Massively OP’s MJ did in the past! How Inception-esque is that? Now she’s determined to work her way off (again) and experience the rich new […]

There’s a lot to wrap your head around in regard to World of Warcraft’s upcoming Midnight expansion, including what’s the deal with its new allied race and Prey system. Fortunately for us, Blizzard posted a couple of informative overviews of both of these features in case you’re a little behind the curve. The Haranir allied […]

Hermitcraft is one of the largest Minecraft server franchises in the game's history. Since 2012, dozens of YouTube's most prolific Minecrafters have consistently banded together to put entertaining, family-friendly content out onto the Internet's bandwaves. Season Eleven of Hermitcraft began in November of 2025, and now, three months in, the results of their labors are staggering. Nearly all the Hermits have made tremendous progress on sprawling megabases that beggar the mind, and are already starting work on complex minigames or finding ways to catapult players halfway across the world.

iJevin has been a Hermit since 2013, participated in ten seasons, and is currently building a pirate-themed base. Welsknight joined Hermitcraft in 2016, has participated in eight seasons, and is currently working on a Japanese village to call his home. Both were more than happy to discuss their experiences with Hermitcraft in the past, plans for the current season, and where they see the Hermits going in the future.

SUPERJUMP

What are your goals and plans for this season of Hermitcraft?

Welsknight

My main goal is just to be more active throughout the season than I have been in recent years. I’m planning to build a sprawling feudal Japanese castle town to serve as my main base, with an industrial area thousands of blocks away for all of my various farms.

SUPERJUMP

Is there anything you're looking forward to in particular in this season? Like playing around with new Minecraft updates, or shops and minigames from other Hermits?

Jevin

As with any new season, there is a lot of anticipation. Of course, things like Minecraft updates are fun to play with, but I'm much more interested in the happenings on the server: The new builds and games being built (such as TangoTek's Decked Out 3), plus all the hilarious shenanigans.

Welsknight

TangoTek’s Decked Out 3 will almost certainly be a highlight of the season once he finishes it. Beyond that, I’m just looking forward to all the random interactions and spontaneous shenanigans.

SUPERJUMP

What are some of your favorite moments and builds from last season? Regarding this season's builds, what are you planning to do, similarly or differently?

Jevin

I loved the things I built last season. From the forest to the castle, I was extremely happy with the results. Each season, I strive to do things differently, and this season is no different. The theme this year is pirates!

Welsknight

Despite being inactive for a good chunk of the season, I’m pretty happy with how my fantasy castle turned out in the end. I’ll be following a lot of the same design methodology for my castle this season.

SUPERJUMP

Jevin, this is your tenth season of Hermitcraft. Does it feel like it's been that long? What's it like, being part of a community and seeing it evolve over the years?

Jevin

Being a Hermit is fascinating. Working alongside some of the most talented Minecrafters is very interesting. At any given point, you can look around and just be floored. The counter to that is I always need to invest and reinvest my skills to keep up. Sometimes it can be stressful, but it's good stress.

SUPERJUMP

Welsknight, for you its been eight seasons; does it feel that long?

Welsknight

No, it doesn’t. The years have flown by. It’s incredible to see how Hermitcraft has grown and evolved into such a prominent part of the greater Minecraft community, and I’m also really proud of how positive and wholesome the Hermitcraft community is despite its popularity. It’s really special.

SUPERJUMP

What are your thoughts on Hermitcraft and its history? Did you ever see it becoming as popular and impactful as it's become today? 

Jevin

When I joined Hermitcraft all those years ago, I never imagined it would get to this point. I'm just so proud of everyone involved.

Welsknight

When I first started playing Minecraft, some of my largest influences as I learned how to build were GoodTimesWithScar, BdoubleO100, and Keralis. Countless other people learned how to play the game from watching Etho, or learned all about the technical side of Minecraft from people like Mumbo Jumbo or Docm77. It’s wild to me that not only am I playing on a server with those people today, but also that Hermitcraft as a collective has been such a big influence and source of inspiration to Minecraft players all over the world.

SUPERJUMP

Where do you see Hermitcraft's future?

Jevin

As for the future, it's hard to say. I just know I'll continue to keep putting my best foot forward.

Welsknight

I don’t think about that too much. I imagine we’ll be around for a long time. I just like to enjoy the ride.

It looks like the next big unannounced project from the team at Bandai Namco is Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3. The news wasn’t actually announced by the company, but was spotted by eagle-eyed fans who noticed that the company had a YouTube playlist which was titled Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3.

While Massively OP’s MJ was interested in checking out Where Winds Meet when it first appeared, its 100+ GB download made her hesitate. Now, she’s made some room (sorry other games!) and is poised to delve right in. MJ is eager to experience the beauty of the world. She even saw that there is a […]
