For those who don't know Mike Tomlin is the former head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the second longest tenured coach in the league, and never had a losing season before resigning his job last year.
The idea of any NFL head coach having time to do this, especially a winning one, is absurd.

Was a bit confused by a sibling comment before realizing their comment is narrowed down to the Playoffs.
Tomlin is a poster child of how hard it is to drop early impressions of someone. He came in as a hot shot, but after last season he was going on 8 years since a single playoff victory.

"I started playing Minecraft, man, when my kids were young,” Tomlin said. “I have a Minecraft city in creative that I’ve been working on for like 12 years."
Yeah, it is fun exploring dungeons with my kids. But it seems he clicked the city together? That part always bothered me with minecraft to build anything big, or repetitive.
Well, I love automation, and AI is awesome for that. So now my kids can add details to castles or railwails build by algorithm (But using commands is a big temptation to destroy game balance in survival mode).

If you watch the video you can really tell - all these tiny details from the various builds are still etched into his mind.

I didn’t last 5 minutes trying to play Minecraft on a console, as it felt so tedious. This is seriously impressive.

It's definitely not for everyone. I'd equate the feeling to knitting, where progress is mostly slow and deliberate and the meditativeness is by design.
It's also more fun on a server with friends, where it can be more about hanging out and doing something together, rather than a solo creative exercise.

I think if we had some sort of UBI/provision for necessities this is the sort of thing people would be doing, and it would be great.

I suspect some people would still focus more of their time on winning the superbowl.
I love this and thought I was being trolled when I noticed it trending.

But after 2016, playoffs? Not so much.
