[Got teaching again today and I need to start getting ready here in just a couple minutes. I’ve gotten my basic structure done and talked about my games, but only just starting this section, so we’ll have to see. Need to get gas I think and there’s the PIMP meeting on top! 😱 Luckily, my day was pretty much useless and uneventful, so it should be an easy one. 😛]

I fell asleep pretty early last night, round about eight or so, but was woken up and was out of bed by four o’clock. 😭 That left me yet another hour and a half short and it totally caught up to me and I crashed out for the entire afternoon. 😡

Not a lot to note regarding the usual morning routine other than somehow I’m still losing more money on Polygon (against ETH)…it’s friggin’ painful and I don’t know why I continue to torture myself with it.

Otherwise, just the usual stuff. When I went in to reset my Splinterlands quest in the morning, I finally decided to pull out some more vouchers and there was a buy order there for way more than I had, so I just dumped them all at slightly above one HIVE a piece. I’m likely to regret that later, but for the time being, it’s nice to have a little dry powder again. It also allowed me to recycle some more liquid THGaming I’d gotten into the pool. 👍 Earning 250+% on that now. 😁🤑

I guess the other thing that happened out of the ordinary was that I won one of the Pizza giveaways! 🤑🤑 Only got the one this time, but 25 ONEUP doesn’t hurt! Kinda’ thinking about going harder into the PIZZA:ONEUP pool as well, so that might help. (But I think I might have staked it already. 🤔)

Otherwise, chatted on Discord for a while and then worked on my post. Got it done and shared and all that and then hit the wall already. I didn’t want to accept that I was going to waste the day sleeping (yet), but I wasn’t feeling motivated to work (which has really been hanging heavy over my head), so I busted out the Oculus, which is the usual fallback in these instances.

I played Zenith for some time, but they still have not fixed the upgrade system, so it really has become a waste of a lot of time. I’m grinding XP, so getting levels in that respect, but I can’t seem to get out of the area I’m in, the enemies are just too OP for the weapons I have. 😢

Quit out and got my lunch and then hit the mile-thick titanium wall from which even caffeine was not going to allow me to bounce back. I put on some random whatever on the tube and was out within a couple of minutes.

I slept hard, too. Woke up at four having slept another three hours! Didn’t feel very good, but tried to move around and do the dishes and start dinner to get my blood flowing again.

We had taco salad for dinner and when the meat was pretty much ready by the time Wenche got home. She chopped up some veggies and we watched the new Van Helsing. (I bought it a while back and it had been sitting, so figured it was easier than hunting around for something).

Was ok, but some of it was cheesy and predictable to the point of being rizzable. I played my Splinterlands quest and then started thinking about heading to bed again.

I still had like three thousand steps left for the day and I wasn’t really tired at that point, so I did laps to finish out (no cheating this time! 👍). It was getting pretty late, though, and Wenche had already gone to bed. I laid down, but she was snoring already and I couldn’t get to sleep, so I moved out to the couch.

Well, holy faaaack! My stated dShitty income has gone back to zero already again. 🤬 Not sure whether to brace for more shittiness incoming or brush it of knowing that the stats usually aren’t relevant to much of anything? 🤷

Nothing major, as usual, on Rising Star today, just did a couple missions, surprised? Nearly have 100k Starbits saved up, only ten times as much to go.

Well, it’s now Wednesday and the HashKings website hasn’t updated since Sunday. 🤬 I believe I’m missing harvests at this point. 🤬🤬 Guess I have to go in and ask on their Discord…have a feeling the mobile site is just completely borked now.

They’ll probably tell me to clear cache or some bullshit (bad programming/versioning), if there even is a fix.

I’m thinking that how they respond to me with this issue is going to be a make or brake deciding factor…been pretty patient with it being in alpha so far, but my faith in them has been justified by a “working” product. Been met with mostly excuses regarding the dysfunction of the mobile site; if it’s more of the same, I’m going to hope and pray that I can get back the money I’ve paid to “play to earn.”

Played my Splinterlands quest in the evening and it was rough. I made zero progress in the ranks, and lost some in fact. 😡

I got Sneak for my quest today, which shouldn’t have been too bad, but there were a couple bullshit matches in there that I really should have won, but the RNG was being mean to me.

Got the quest done in Gold I and got completely crap rewards. I guess I did get a couple cards, but Pelacore Conjurer hardly counts as a card…mostly potions and rip-off amounts of DEC:

Staked my SPS drop, which fell by yet another one today. That’s seriously pissing me off. 🤬 I’m doing everything I can to keep it at least level, but it just continues to decrease. I still haven’t really figured out in what sense they actually have any value other than to sell them to another sucker…don’t really care that much about voting on proposals (so Aggy and his team can be relieved of liability).

I did finally get fed up with waiting for vouchers to go up at all. Not only did I sell out all of what I had on the market, I pulled some more out and sold them as well. Pretty sure I still have more than I’ll ever have need to use, but you never know, so I am hanging on to some still. Feels a bit better to have some liquid HIVE, though, pretty much earmarked for adding liquidity to the THGaming pool, but thinking about getting into CENT some more too.
