Back to the Office. Last Day in Splinterlands Season.

Back in the office today, one of the last weeks before we have a three hundred percent increase in office time.

Microsoft just reversed their remote work policies and is bringing everyone back to the office. I can definitely see the increased traffic on freeways. We just have one exit to drive and it takes 45 minutes...

One thing that is good about going to the office is that I can bring authentic Georgian food. Our daughter knows that I am in the office in downtown Seattle, so she asked me last night to bring her Adjaruli from Seattle.

I picked up three Adjaruli boats after work and brought them on the train. As soon as we picked her up from school we drove into a parking lot by some store on our way home and together had one beef stroganoff boat.

The Skalka Georgian restaurant is about fifteen minutes away from my office, so it was a nice walk in the sunny weather today.

On my way to the restaurant I saw a lot of closed businesses and those are not only restaurants and boutique stores, but also daycare centers. There used to be one on the same block as Skalka restaurant, but it is gone and even the signs are all gone.

The Covid shutdown and resulting work from home for years for the majority of companies was not kind to downtown Seattle.

Some restaurants have survived, I am glad that Skalka survived, but they are not the only ones. This Indian restaurant is still here as well.

I think the strongest business are still around and it could actually be a good thing long term. As people are coming back the remaining businesses will do a lot better and with summer tourism is going to bring even more people downtown.

Another good thing about going back to the office is that I get a lot more steps and get to use variety of weight lifting machines in our office gym.

I know freeweights such as dumbells, barbells and kettle bells are more effective for weight lifting, but surprisingly machines are good assets well and they hit muscles in a different way, so I get muscles sore after the machines.

Today is the last day in Splinterlands season. It has been a couple days since Foundation jackpot rewards were introduced.

I have not pulled any yet, which is not surprising as you get three chests per day if you win fifteen Foundation battles per day. Each chest has a 1.5 percent chance of pulling a jackpot card. Which means that you have 4.5% chance for a jackpot card per day in about a month worth of chests it is likely that you will get one jackpot card.

In addition to trying to upgrade my Foundation cards and hunting for Foundation jackpot cards I am also trying to upgrade my new reward cards.

Here is what my foundation summoners aka archons look like:

I only have two level three summoners and I see a lot of players with level four maxed out Foundation summoners. So I have quite a bit of upgrading to do.

I believe that maxed out Foundation cards and maxed out new reward cards are really important for playing in Modern ranked. This season I have not played in modern league at all, because I am trying to collect more Glint tokens to upgrade my reward cards, but next season I plan to do some Modern even if it will cost me in terms of Glint.

My Conclave Arcana reward cards are starting to reach the levels where they are playable in Modern League and some of them are even Gold Variant cards that are maxed out as well as black foil cards that also come in a maximum level.

So I am really looking forward to the new season in Splinterlands so that I can get the two hundred thirty eight thousand Glint and hopefully get most of my common Conclave Arcana reward cards to level eight so that they are really playable in Modern.

We are also less than two days away from the Fortune Draws, I am trying to max out my entries so that I can get some more black foil and gold variant cards.

We are also getting close to the new Mini-set presale and SPS token is holding steady at $0.0082. Axle Infinity had a nice move up, I was almost hoping for the gaming narrative to get hot again, but it looks like it is giving back the gains:

But who knows it could still turn into a major pump and a revival of the gaming narrative in crypto for the first time since 2021...
