MAN WHO SPENDS HOURS BUILDING A FAKE WORLD ON MINECRAFT, HASN'T REALLY DONE ANYTHING IN REAL LIFE.

Diverse City, UT (Wokeville Gazette) — A man who has spent nearly 20,000 hours building a virtual world on Minecraft, says he doesn't feel like it's his responsibility to create anything in real life.

"I'm not against building real stuff", said Tristan Williams. "I just don't think it's really my cup of tea. That's all".

Tristan, who has logged nearly 20,000 hours on the children's game, says he considers himself both a visionary and a creator in the virtual world.

"When it comes to building and creating things in virtual reality, I consider myself one of the very best in the world. I have worked extremely hard at mastering my craft. It wasn't always easy, but the harder I worked at my skillset, the easier it got. I've created an entire virtual world and I host it on a server where other users can come and create and play in the world I've created for us".

When pressed on why his sense of accomplishment hasn't translated into the real world, Tristan didn't really have an answer.

"I'm not really sure", said Tristan. "I mean I suppose that a lot of the building and we do in the virtual realm could somehow translate in the real world. But it all seems super hard. I mean, I can create a whole neighborhood in about 4-5 hours, in Minecraft. That would take a lot longer in real life. I can spawn new puppies and sheep and pigs in a matter of minutes, but to cultivate that kind of life—in real life—would take years. I just don't have that kind of time". 

We spoke with Tristan's wife, who said that while she supports her husband's creativity, it would be nice to seem him take a more assertive and active role in her life and the life of their three children.

"I guess we need to count our blessings", said Mary Williams. "I mean a lot of women don't even have their children's father around at all. So, in once sense we are kind of blessed to even have a man in our home. I just wish he cared about his real family as much as he seems to care about his virtual family".

While Tristan in building in his virtual world, Marry is left to care for their kids, go to work to support the family, take care of medical bills and basically manage the entire house. Tristan isn't oblivious to the work Mary is doing, but instead simply sees it as the price a woman must pay when she chooses to marry such an innovative man.

"She certainly carries a lot of the family responsibilities", said Tristan. "But she knew who I was before we got married. She loved my creative side and she knows how passionate I am about my life in Minecraft. I'm grateful for her and appreciate the fact that she doesn't make me choose between my real family and my virtual family. She totally understands that I have a lot of people in the virtual world who are depending on me just as much as she is. Whatever I lack, in the real world, I more than make up for in Minecraft".
