Jan. 21, 22: Routine, Cryptos (and I) Collapsing Again, Oculus, TV, and Games

Well, yet another absolutely wicked night. 😭 Got about four and a half hours of very broken sleep, which of course more or less destroyed the entire day.

Did my usual morning stuff before I would even hope to have been up, was aggravated that an asshole went through and deleted a conversation in the Man Cave (really considered just leaving…it’s gotten pretty lame in there and the time is better spent in the Pizza server, I think - anyway) and then the stress levels went through the roof! Cryptos were just absolutely plummeting! 😱

While BTC was looking bloody, HIVE and MATIC said “hold my beer” and went for double-digit dives! 😱😱

I wouldn’t mind it so much, but my DeFi collateral value collapsed and I’m waaaay more risky than I’m even close to comfortable with. Wanted to back it off and pay some back, but the fees were utterly insane again. 🤬🤬🤬 I couldn’t even afford the fees to do the payback and so I got to sit there watching it helplessly getting closer to liquidation. 😱😭🤬😡🤬😭 [as of now the situation is even worse, but the transaction fees are starting to come back down somewhat, so hopefully I can unwind my position soon]

My whole goal for the day was to hopefully go back to sleep. 😭 I did my post and scheduled it so I could lay down. Figured it would be self-defeating to put in Z Nation, so I picked something that looked pretty light: Real Rob and it turned out to be quite good. I did fall asleep pretty quick, though, and slept for about three hours.

Definitely didn’t feel all that great when I got up…back is still killing me and I’m still a bit congested, but I’d hoped not to lose the entire day again, which is why I went back to bed early.

I did get up in time to catch a little bit of trivia on the Pizza server in Discord. Was tough, but I got a few and was able to withdraw a bit more PIZZA out of tipCC…nice to have something to show for time spent (and that’s not the first time - they’re very generous with the airdrops over there! 🤑). 👍

I suppose at that point I could have tried to get on with something, but really, that was never going to happen. Went in to the Oculus app and was a bit disappointed that there weren’t any new games available after Garden of the Sea, but there was Medal of Honor and After the Fall that I’ve been fighting the urge to get.

Broke down and decided to get Medal of Honor. Friggin’ thing is YUGE! 41G took forever to download and install. I played a 200 piece level of Puzzling Places while I waited and then, after infinity plus a day, went in and tried it out.

It is pretty amazing to be inside the game like that, and the graphics aren’t too bad, but I think the bulk of the code is cut scenes…fine, but meh. The gameplay is alright, but the shooting feels sorta’ clunky somehow. Played through the tutorial and the first level or so…not the biggest maps or too much impressive about it so far, but it’s still near the beginning.

Once again, that was basically the whole day. Post, sleep, play games, eat, TV, sleep. I remain thankful that I’m afforded the ability to do so, but man, I don’t think I’ll lie on my death bed and look back wishing for more of these days…more regretting the loss of what little time I did have. 😢 It is what it is, I suppose.

Wenche was a bit late home from work and I was getting wicked hungry, so I didn’t wait for her, just made myself a sandwich 🥪 with the leftover chicken breast from yesterday…was quite good, actually! I toasted a bun and had some lettuce and a bit of mayo and mozzarella…tasted like a fast food chicken sandwich, but not processed. 😋

In the evening we watched some more tube and I played my Splinterlands quest. We kinda’ gave up on Cursed and Real Rob was entertaining, so we started bingeing that. As is now the new normal, I had a shitton of steps left to go, and although I did do some legit, my back was not going to allow me to even march in place, so I did cheat quite a bit again. 😢 Not sure if there’s all that much point to keeping the streak going when it’s not really genuine, but the other days were, and I don’t want to throw the baby out with the bath water.

It’s been some time since we’ve seen dShitty shittiness scores this low! We got just straight up shitstyleeez and a crisis on top, just to sweeten the deal. Seems like we’re headed even lower…should I be surprised?

Whereas before on Rising Star I would, at what seemed to be random intervals, gain and lose some number of drunk fans. However, since I have been maintaining my Ego at zero, it has been incessant…to the point that it seems to be purposeful. Is this game going the way of dShitty? I suppose, for whatever inane reason, I’m just going to keep at it.

Even though I had tried to get my Life splinter quest done yesterday on Splinterlands, I hadn’t been able to get even a single win before my patience ran out. I made up for it today and played both yesterday’s and today’s quests through even though I did quit for a while when I got on a losing streak.

I did, at least, make it back up into Gold II somewhat solidly, although I did lose a portion of the progress I’d made.

Mostly upgrade fodder and potions today, but I did get that one Epic, which is nice:

As of yet still haven’t moved out any more vouchers, but I’m really thinking about taking a punt into a PIZZA pool, so that might be something to try with the funds. 🤔. Otherwise, the price of packs is too high for my blood in term of SPS, so just staked my drop for the day…really falling off there, along with the interest rate. 😢
