User:Xbony2

Hello. I am Xbony2. I started playing Minecraft in 1.2.5, so you could say I've been around for a while. In 1.4.2, I got into playing the Feed The Beast Beta Pack A, and later moved to the (Original) MindCrack Pack and then to FTB Ultimate plus a few mods (I moved my world over each time). I'm an avid modded fan and haven't looked back! I started coding and modding for the first time in 1.4.7, although it didn't work out so well. I improved with time, and in 1.7.2 I created a working and somewhat decent mod called "Bitm" (Bony's Industrial Technology Mod) although it was never released. I did get into a few other projects; I helped port IC2 Nuclear Control to 1.7.2 and I am currently the unofficial maintainer of it (I've helped port a couple of other mods too, but none are as well-known as that one). When the author of my favorite mod, GregTech, announced he would use this wiki, the Feed The Beast Wiki, as GregTech's official wiki starting with GregTech 5, I decided to make it my official wiki as well for Nuclear Control. The FTB Wiki's IndustrialCraft 2 section was fairly incomplete (and still is >.>), so I decided to work on it and go expand it. I got into documenting a few mods, and in 2015 I ended up focusing more on documentation than modding. I've slowed down recently but am still one of the wiki's biggest editors. I've developed a greater interest in wikis and documentation, and although I still focus on my home wiki (this wiki), I sometimes contribute to other Gamepedia wikis and to other wikis in general (mostly just fixing stuff). At the time of writing, I have more than 50,000 edits across all of my wiki accounts (mostly small contributions, but then again, most contributions are small by nature). I can't really play modded Minecraft (and sometimes other games) without documenting stuff, which sometimes leads to the creation of very arbitrary pages.

Number of Wiki Articles:

Goal for 2019: win big.

Things I have done on this wiki:
 * Documented IC2 Nuclear Control, IndustrialCraft 2, AFSU Mod, The Mists of RioV 2/The Mists of RioV, Falling Meteors Mod, GregTech 4, Immersive Engineering, Immersive Integration, Engineer's Toolbox, Thaumcraft 4, Thaumcraft 5, Steel Sheep, Pam's HarvestCraft, Simply Jetpacks, Ztones, Aether II, Ender IO, Charset, Inventory Pets, Actually Additions, Quark, EnderZoo, The One Probe, Roots, Hexxit Gear, Bullseye, PowerCraft, Exchangers, Rustic, Thermal Foundation, Thaumcraft 6... (some completely or near completely, some in smaller fragments)
 * Did a bunch of maintenance work (I'd say 50% of my edits are maintenance-ish, and 50% is new documentation). Including translation stuff (I'm the translation administrator and the person to talk to about translation of content here).
 * Called SatanicSanta a "meany-face".
 * Created the IP award (Santa is the first staff to receive it, btw) (Choco made it into a template, but I created it first. The picture is still named "Bony_Joke_Please_Ignore.png").
 * CHOCOLATE B*TCH
 * Used terrible or no summaries. Includes above summary. 0% of them include good grammar. Many include lyrics, but I have issues picking out lyrics so they're often short or nonsensical.
 * Welcomed a couple editors to the wiki (none of them stayed, of course).
 * Found myself (I guess).
 * Made many inappropriate jokes (if you let me, I am fairly sexual).
 * Mega achievement? Mega achievement (easy peasy, if I could collect repeat mega achievements I'd have like 20).
 * I got Editor of the month! (rewarded fairly late, but still)
 * Got more more wikipoints/edits than EVERYONE ELSE! (I hope they don't catch up)

Current focuses

 * Not updating this list mostly. I'm kinda sort on break. Maybe I'll be more active one day...
 * Updating/finishing off current mods-
 * Immersive Engineering (stuff missing but current pages updated except for one update).
 * Quark (need to from update 106+).
 * Charset (needs some update).
 * Actually Additions (I should check).
 * Document Roots (maybe not).
 * Documents Roots 2 (maybe).
 * Document Extra Utilities 2 (maybe).
 * Document Tech Reborn (maybe not)
 * Document Industrial Foregoing.
 * Document Thermal Foundation (new stuff).
 * Document Thaumcraft 6 (hopefully).
 * Misc maintenance and improvements.
 * Eat newcomers.

Mods that I kinda wanna document
This could be seen by some as a TODO list, but it's not all stuff that I'll necessarily get around to, but would like to. These aren't "reserved" by me or anything; if you ask me "hey bony what mods need documentation?" I might point you to this list (or say "all of them", which is more accurate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). These aren't in any order.
 * GregTech 5/GregTech 5 Unofficial changes
 * GT++
 * GregTech 6
 * Biomes O' Plenty
 * RFTools (and McJty's other mods)
 * Storage Drawers
 * Better With Mods
 * Literal Ascension
 * Tech Reborn
 * OpenComputers
 * TIS-3D
 * Totemic
 * Thermal Expansion 5
 * Tough As Nails
 * Rustic
 * Thaumic Potatoes 2
 * Embers
 * Better With Mods (and Better Than Wolves while we're at it, but people don't need that as much).
 * Astral Sorcery (most requested from survey)
 * Gadgetry (Gadgetry: Core, Gadgetry: Machines and Gadgetry: Transmission)
 * Stuff on the current focuses that I haven't been focusing on at all (like most of them).

Contact

 * The very much preferred place to contact me is on my talk page! If you have something to say to me, I would highly prefer you put something there (that's why this is at the top). You can even use it for non-wiki stuff if you want, nobody cares that much.
 * To be quicker, hit up the FTB Wiki Discord! It's linked with IRC I might note.
 * There's Gamepedia's Slack if you're in that.
 * You can hit me up on the Tweeter . May occasionally contain some adult-ish material.

Languages

 * English: I'm a native speaker of English.
 * Dialect: American English. Technically Southern, but as I have been raised by Yankee liberals I pretty much just a "neutral" American accent.
 * Spanish: I was learning Spanish in school. Tenía la clase de español tres. I stopped after that. I'll try to relearn it in college. Doing a bit of Duolingo right now though.
 * Dialect: I never really got into Spanish enough to have a sense of its dialects. I use "tú" and "ustedes," and I guess I'd try to use "usted" but I'm less used to that. It's reasonable to assume I speak with an American accent. I often pronounce the Spanish "b"/"v" like an English "v," and "y"/"ll" like an English "y" (like in "you" or "yeah"). I like the word "bacán".
 * Lojban: coi .i I've studied Lojban from reading the reference manual and contributing to Wiktionary, as well as doing a tiny bit of translation (Minecraft, here, Lojban Wikipedia). I lost the interest a while back though. "jbo-1" is an exaggeration.
 * Latin: Currently taking Latin I. I can translate some stuff with a dictionary and charts.
 * Dialect: Classical Latin. My pronunciation is wack and it probably sounds like Spanish (Latin isn't a spoken language though so it doesn't matter much). I've been trying to remind myself that "v" is pronounced like an English "w" but to little luck. I prefer SOV.
 * Esperanto: I studied some Esperanto on Duolingo, but I dislike the language and have stopped learning it. I'm kind of disappointed that it's the face of constructed languages (cough). I'm probably not going to return to it unless I get a written note that it impresses babes.
 * Ukrainian: I don't really know any Ukrainian, but I intend to learn at least a little bit someday. Maybe I'll study Russian off of that.

I'm a closeted bisexual man. Currently single. If you came from IRL, please don't out me or tell me you know. That would make me really uncomfortable. Thanks.
