Jan. 15, 22: Routine, Lil’ Prep, Oculus, TV, SM Season End, and Games

Getting fairly regular nine to five more or less on my sleep, a little before on both ends, but close enough. I ended up more than an hour short according to FitBit, but I didn’t feel too tired today…also only accomplished a tiny bit, though, so sorta’ have to say I was somewhat short, but not bad.

Pretty routine with the morning routine. BTC still basically pegged to $43k and HIVE at $1.30 and MATIC $2.30. Essentially the same as the last three days or so. I’m starting to build up a little interest that I should claim, but held off delaying gratification (and tax liability).

Otherwise just the usual curation, faucets, and allathat. Worked on my post for the day and then went over on H-E and started messing with tokens. Once again I didn’t get everything staked or any of that, but I decided to move up my PIMP buy order that had gotten buried (which got filled 👍) as well as finally selling off the rest of the vouchers I’d been sitting on.

Only the day before yesterday I moved up into the 200 PIZZA club, but I took some of the funds from my voucher sale and moved up to 500+ already! 🍕 I dig the vibe they got going over there and they give away a lot of tokens! 🤑 I know the funds might have been better spent on a dividend paying token, but I did get some more PIMP and sometimes community has added value as well. (Not that PIMP doesn’t have a good community…you know what I mean.)

Speaking of tribe tokens, been getting more interested in 1UP as well as getting involved with CARTEL. Decided to try out the tag for the first time on this post and see…I do post about my blockchain gaming every day, so I think it’s legit for me to use. Had to displace one, so it was palnet that I decided to drop; I don’t intend to ever use the prediction market, so they don’t really have all that much value. But, it’s just an experiment for now; time will tell if it’s a good move or not.

I did get a little bit of a Monday feel there in the morning and I sat down at the computer to do some prep for next semester. While I completed one (small) task, I didn’t end up focusing for very long at all. 😢 I did make myself a list with a breakdown of what I need to do, so hopefully that will help with the feeling of making progress checking off each one at a time.

After I got my post and all that usual stuff done, Wenche was gone for a waxing and nail appointment, so I had some time to work…I mean, play Oculus. 😛 Played Garden of the Sea and, although I’m still kinda’ stuck on a couple things, I did get past the part that stumped me yesterday (didn’t know how to get the crystal I needed from the character that was holding it…turned out I just needed to grab it! 😛).

So, made some progress with that third area puzzle, but there’s one more crystal and I have no clue where it is. I think it might be in another puzzle, but it’s one that I’m still stuck on not having the ingredients I need. I went back to the home island and decided to mess around with the guys there. I didn’t realize it, but I can breed them! I got another new little floating cow guy and the mother thing produced a new type of ingredient, so I’m thinking of pursuing that line to see if there’s any other new ones I get from them. Might be what I’m missing. 🤔

I tried to do a little more research for my thesis, but didn’t really get too far or find anything that sparked any inspiration.

In the afternoon I hopped over to Crim’s show on MSP Waves for a little bit, but ended up getting distracted and didn’t stay for that long. The wife came home from her waxing appointment and there were things to do; wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean? 😉

Had quite a few steps left for the day after we watched Don’t Look Up (which was a pretty good movie!) and I did some marching in place to finish.

Speaking of finishing, we already burned through Brews Brothers and are on the hunt yet again for something to watch. 😡 That one ended up being quite enjoyable as well; hoping they make some more seasons.

Wenche made us steaks and tater tots for dinner and we watched something or other, wasn’t really paying attention, was trying (and failing) to get my Splinterlands quest done before bed.

[Getting annoyed enough now waiting to post that I think I’m just going to post at ten and get skipped today. 🤬]

So that’s General Crime like three days in a row and a crisis on top…knew this was coming, dShitty can’t go for long without the mafs 🥴 kicking in.

Went in a couple times and did missions on Rising Star today. My Ego jumped bigtime, but it was from temporary drunks, so I kept to missions. Unfortunately, not all of it was from the excess fans and I’ve switched back to lessons. Otherwise, not much progress with this other than building towards the next level.

Today marked the end of the Splinterlands season and I’m very glad to have gotten back to Diamond this time and not gotten drilled so hard on the reset. Not too bad overall; got a gold foil, a legendary, and an Epic (would have liked bigger DEC numbers, though):

Despite my major trepidations knowing how sucky it is to play the day of the reset, I didn’t want to get too far behind on my daily quests.

I started off surprisingly well continuing a streak from before and had a bit of a buffer between myself and Silver. However, of course, I got a nice, solid losing streak and fell all the way back. 🤬

I rage quit for the night and (ironically) am now behind on my quests anyway. 😭

Luckily, at least so far, I only had to fight one battle in Silver; made some progress back into Gold before finishing the Earth quest I had outstanding.

Got a couple Rares and a little DEC:

I staked my SPS drop for today, but like I said before, I did finally pull the trigger and sold out all the vouchers I was sitting on. Still have a little over two hundred in game so I’m actually considering moving some more out, but for now I like having options.

I do have to say that they’ve treated legacy players quite well. It was some time ago that I decided I wouldn’t put any more fiat into the game but despite that I’ve been able to participate in the new edition and get some cards anyway, mostly due to my collection power (but also because I’ve been hoarding DEC and staking my SPS). 👍
