Apr. 8, 22: Routine, Oculus, Trivia Night, TV, and Games
Here we are, another day down…another day with one goal: work on the website…another day where no work was done. 😭 [Woke up this morning, to be honest, feeling anti-motivated: like I don’t want to do any of this; I don’t want to have to run a company or go to video game conferences or set up corporate mission statements or necessarily even be a public figure…I don’t have the skills to do any of it; I’ve spent over a year and I don’t even have a functional website, even basic secure chain interaction eludes me, I haven’t started on the market even in the slightest, not to mention that I’ve never coded Unity, do not have any Blender (or other artistic) skill, nor am I a great marketer to be able to go out and assemble a team that could do it, so an actual functioning game? When it takes teams of people and millions of dollars to code decent games?…thinking of just saying “Hey, it cost you, but it was a neat hobby and it occupied your mind for a while, give up, and walk away.” 😭]
Slept out on the living room couch again tonight. Was late getting to sleep again, right around ten thirty, but I did make it until about six and ended up only an hour short. I dragged hard again and most of the day was spent fighting the urge to take a nap…I did make it through, but not sure it was a great idea; probably should have just given in, then I would have had an actual excuse for my lack of productivity.
The morning routine was about the same as yesterday. Did all the usual stuff and the crypto markets were down for the most part, but BAL was still holding up pretty well! I’m only losing .82 ETH now! Hooray! Extremely frustrating when the whole point of that investment was to use the interest to build Solairitas’ HP…not only has that not happened, I’ve lost a lot…thanks Ray. 😢🤬
I’m not sure what’s going on, but I haven’t been able to access my WAX cloud wallet for several days now. 😡
I suppose it’s my own stupid fault for signing up with Facebook…tried to find the keys, but I guess I was double dumb and trusted Wax and FB. Noob mistakes. Should have backed up my keys. I tweeted at them, but I have the strong feeling I’ll either be ignored or told to fill out some form. [Update! @bacon-dub was amazingly helpful and hooked me up with the instructions to get back in!!! 😁 Need to set up a custodial wallet so this doesn’t happen again.]
Did the usual token shifting and then went in and bought some more PIZZA and ONEUP for the pool. I also added some more to the THGaming pool…starting to build up a significant balance there earning solid interest, but I do question in what sense I’m earning. I basically habitually stake everything…so at the end of the day I have a bunch of tokens that may or may not hold value and may or may not have any liquidity to sell them out. 🤔 I suppose that’s the risk that warrants the reward.
Got my post done and published and shared and was hitting the wall bigtime already. 😢 Oculus was calling to me, though, and I played some more Tentacular. Starting to get more like Bridge Builder challenges now…pretty fun and when you complete a level it excitedly whispers “Tentacular!” which doesn’t get old. 😃
After I quit out the wall hit me on top of the wall that was already hitting me. I did actually lay down with the intention of taking a nap, but there wasn’t really that much time until Trivia Night over on Pizza server, so I ended up chatting mostly and then listening to some music.
I whined about @creodas’ music choice, so he took the opposite extreme and we listened to bubblegum euro pop…some of it is clearly stupid, but I was bopping around in my seat for most of the game. 👍
I did quite well this time! With airdrops and trivia I was able to pull out another ten PIZZA! 🤑 I bought some earlier and had some left, but I beefed my stake in the pool and then staked up a solid chunk working toward the 3000 role. 💪
They played Gartic after, but I wasn’t really feeling like it, so I jumped back into VR for a little while. Still had four songs left on the Fall Out Boy pack on Beat Saber, so I gave a couple of them a first go through on expert. Didn’t do too bad for a first try! About in the mid two thousands.
When Wenche got home she made us steaks 🥩 and tater tots and onion rings for dinner and we watched a pretty good animated movie…trying to remember what it was called…grrr, something about life. Mexico was the center of the universe. 😂
Pretty much killed the rest of the evening watching Leverage and playing Splinterlands. I had four thousand steps left to go and I did do some moving around, but in fairness it did end in some significant shaking. 😢 Still a lite bedtime again, but I did sleep in the bed this time.
Alrighty, then! I guess I owe dShitty 164 SIM? Good luck getting me to sign that transaction! How utterly absurd can this thing get?!
Pretty sure I went in, did a mission on Rising Star in the morning, and then forgot about it for the rest of the day. Ego has jumped to 8%, of course, cause it’s not like I take the effort to keep it under control or anything…good reason to penalize my income (reminiscent of dShitty? 🤔).
It has now been six days since I was able to complete even the most basic of actions on HashKings. I’m starting to very much resent it already and am a little pissed that I’m fifty HIVE deep into their “play-to-earn.”
Played my Splinterlands quest late again this evening and it sucked so hard again that I rage quit and then had to play in the morning…did it go any better? All I can say is: Thank God it’s fucking over!
I guess my prime mistake was thinking that (needing only one more win to finish the quest and one more win to break into Diamond) it would be possible to complete it in Diamond. Of course, it wasted my life watching losing matches over and over…and bullshit matches on top coming down to a miss when I had it in the bag. 🤬🤬
I just ended my misery so I could include my results in this post…did get an epic, but otherwise lame:
My drop seems to be on a constant negative one per day trajectory. 😡 I put more DEC in the pool, no effect, I stake more SPT, no effect, I hold and don’t open packs, no effect…at this point I guess I just have to accept it, don’t know what else to try.
Honestly, the interest on the DEC pool is extremely shitty and I’ve been thinking about pulling out for a long time…if I do, though, I’d pull the DEC in game, but I’m not going to buy the whole other half worth of DEC, so that would cut the SPS drop sharply. 😡 Kind of pinned and so just left it…even added to my position the other day (which now I regret - although I suppose that would have meant my drop would have fallen even harder if I hadn’t).
Pretty much blasted through all the liquid funds I had already! In the meantime I’d gotten a few more voucher and I decided to pull them out as well today. Spending it about as fast as it’s coming in! 😱
