Minecraft (PS4) - with this version hopefully having a better chance
of remembering what I did from one minute to the next. Mostly I was
checking a previously-unexplored area, and ended up looting an Illager
Outpost I found. I was so careful to not kill the standard-bearer
which would result in a raid starting the next time I entered a
village, until I managed to get myself trapped in a corner while
trying to block the stairs - after that it just seemed unavoidable. So
I headed for the nice flat coastal village I'd discovered earlier to
get the raid over with, only to discover on the way a really awkward
village in a snowy forest with crap visibility, hilly terrain, and
various pits around. Helpfully, the raid triggered there instead.
Raids are simple enough in theory, just defend against several waves
of attackers (using a crossbow from the roof of one of the houses is
how I've mostly approached it), but some of those attackers can hit
pretty hard as well as having some annoying attacks. In particular,
due to an update after raids were added, Evokers can summon flying
baddies which seem to (perhaps somewhat glitchily like polar bears)
hit you even through walls. That last detail I discovered just after
taking cover inside a small house with basically no health, which
quickly became actually no health. Which is when I was reminded that
I'd removed the bed I previously set as a spawn point and hadn't
bothered using one in the village, so I respawned with nothing roughly
2000 blocks away, not even knowing for sure where the village had
been. Ugh. I did eventually sort the mess out and get back most of my
gear (so for once I didn't lose a full set of armour) and even ended
up clearing the raid, but, yeah. Not the biggest fan of raids TBH.

PS4 Minecraft performance seemingly getting just a little worse with
each update, though I suppose that's a bit of a software-in-general
thing.
