Hello Web3 Gamers!
Welcome to my web3 gaming update. It has been over 2 weeks since my last update and there has been lots going on in the play 2 earn arena. Web3 gaming doesn't sleep and you can earn crypto 24 hours a day if you can go without sleep. Some people have even coded bots to make their moves for them while they sleep for some games. This is a big topic in Splinterlands right now.
Lets get down to business, in this update we talk about new NFTs, Bots and Crypto. Games looked at this time are:

For these games, I have only got some tokens and/or NFTs for these and was not active this time.
Games on my Radar
One of my goto games first thing every day is Rising Star. I like to get the millionaire card mission ran first thing in the morning and then I can get on with my day.
Since my last update, I have bought 12 packs with some new cards and have 66k STARBITS towards my next 12 packs purchase. There has been excitement about a new card called Fix It that you can buy and then blend cards with it. I wonder if this seems to have been shooting the STARPRO token higher and also pulling up the STARBITS token with it. I don't have this card yet, but at a cost of 0,2 STARPRO, I think I will buy it soon as it will help me upgrade some of my unwanted cards.
My NFT collection has now grown to 840(+36) cards. I am at level 95 and still 5 levels short of being able to do the full band headline mission.
My ranking this week is 579(642) which is an increase from last time. Although I am far off the leaderboard, it is great to grow my Rising Star NFT collection. I am looking forward to also start doing the festival missions and the raves I need to have a look into too.

HashKings is running like clockwork for me and earning me some nice BUDS tokens. The biggest producer for me has been my Afghanistan land.
Here I have 2 more days before my next harvest. I am short of seeds here so have put some bids in to the seeds pool so that I can stock up again. I have spent 2000 BUDS so far and hope I might get between 10 and 20 seeds that will last me for a while.
I have 2 level 5 water towers, so I don't need to buy any HKWATER for my crops, although I have been dipping into the market with the low prices when they are available.
New with HashKings is that they are now doing referrals. Therefore if you like play2earn farming games and would like to support my work, consider using my link.
In Splinterlands I have given a season wrap-up, for season 109. It was another season with some awesome rewards and it is always great to get CL packs and legendaries at the end of a season.
AI and Bots are a hot topic at the moment and the big news on Splinterlands is a proposal to make one of the leagues bot free. This would make some ranked play similar to the brawls and be played by humans only and leave the wild league with bot and humans.
The benefit of a bot is that it can save you time from playing and you do more of a steering of the bot instead of the actual playing. The problem is the bot will pick out the most optical tactics each time that could frustrate real players.
In gaming as in sports, winning is usually about someone making a mistake or less mistakes than their opponent. If a bot doesn't make a mistake, it might not be so much fun for real players.
The question is if bots can really be eliminated? I read someone mentioned that some bots don't even use the API so can they really be eliminated? I'm not so knowledegable about that techy side of things so don't know.
I was happy that today I managed to reach a new milestone with my SPS target of 100k staked SPS being reached! This is providing me with some great SPS earnings each day and I can use some of these now to buy DEC and improve my card collection.

Gods Unchained is one of my favorite blockchain games and it is taking some time, but I am learning more each week and experimenting with different decks and strategies having fun and trying to advance.
My weekend ranking has started off badly as I intended to try and complete it with my new Amazon deck, but it is not complete yet and once I moved up the leagues was getting beaten easily. I then moved back to my fullback Zombie deck where I know it is a bit stronger.
Here is my pack openings and I got many useful cards and some that I have bought already this week. I might need to sell them again to try and rebuild up my GODS tokens as I have been spending them like a drunken sailor on new cards.
Here you can see my GODS tokens earnings for the last week. I have been playing each day to keep the tokens coming in.
Since my last update, I have jumped to level 98 from 84. This seems like some good progress. My deck value is now worth 300 GODS compared to 269 last time. My Meteorite card collection has reached over 200 which is a great milestone. I have 863 plain cards and of these it looks like the best card to forge right now is Witherfingers where I just pulled 2 of them.
I will forge her and will think about to keep her or not as I also have another plain copy, but would prefer meteorite level.
These are some of my recent purchases, I added Overseer to my Zombie deck and then I have been building an Amazon deck and it has been great fun to play but still is a WIP.
You can see with my deck stats that I have been doing great with my Amazon deck until I climbed up the league a little and now not winning so easily. I am going keep trying though. I didn't play too much of my Zombie deck, but have made a few tweaks here and there and hope that will give me some positive results.

Stardomplay is another idle clicker game that I am still playing. Things have been running better since I could run the TV Commercial Shoot mission. However, I now need another 250 fans so that I can run the next mission Violent Towers.
With this new mission, I will earn double the amount of STARDOM each time which would be good.
My stats are now much improved from last time. I have +30 fans and my STARDOM earnings are nearly double what I am usually earning, so the higher mission is really paying off.
I did a check and so far I have a collection of 15 NFTs, so my collection is also growing nicely.
The fastest way to get the extra fans was to buy the Cargo Truck card which I don't have and would give me 300 fans for 15000 STARDOM. I decided to buy 10k STARDOM and get the card now.
This has boosted my fans to 550 and I can now run this mission and increase my STARDOM earnings. I see my ego is also very high so I also need to run some lessons missions to increase my capability score. That will keep me busy the next couple of weeks.

The next game for today is Realms.
I have neglected the game a little and therefore my RLM earnings are still quite low and not much progress has been made. My plan is to actually check on the market and buy myself some leader cards that I can then do missions with and upgrade. I will look to do that before my next update.
The game is so generally very passive, but I need to try and log in more often and do missions. I thought one mission per day was enough, but I should do more if I can.
Terracore is another idle clicker game that has been running pretty great for me.
My stats have remained pretty much the same since my last update although I need to consider adding more favor and improving my attack and defense scores.
Although my battle stats are doing ok, they could be improved alot if I would do some more upgrades. My win rate has dropped to 44,52% as I also forget sometimes to login and claim and end up getting attacked and losing SCRAP tokens.
The token price has been remaining pretty stable which is impressive for this type of idle clicker game. The development seems to be continuing and you can also buy NFTs now to upgrade your character.
Until my next update, I will check out the market and see what the options are.
Next up we have Golem Mancer which was launched after Terracore and seems a copy of it. It is another idle clicker game but here they seem to have increased the starting cost to join the game and a few different fees for things here.
Since my last update, the PART token has dropped quite a bit in value and also I have been nerfed in the game. So that I can no longer mine any PART tokens. To reverse this I would need to buy some PART tokens from the market and burn them on some upgrades.
As the game is really confusing and with being nerfed, I decided to quit this game.
The next game today is Genesis League Soccer which is a game that I am highly anticipating. It has been a while since I have played a football management game and I am insterested to see this from a blockchain/web3 perspective with tokenomics involved.
So far in preparation I have been stacking GLX tokens and currently have 4583 GLX. I also bought the gaming license so that I can play the game once it is released. The last information I saw was that it was end of Q2.
I have also bought 10 GMLSPA packs ready for when the game starts. These also give me staking rewards which is good, but only for the next 30 days. Before the staking requirements are over, I will open all the packs as I need to start to build my team ready to play the game.
I also plan to buy quite a few more packs as 10 isn't enough for sure. By my next update, I plan to do a pack-opening that I will share here.
The next game that I have been looking at is CraftInk from the team behind HiQ magazine on Hive. So far I have bought a couple of packs and am looking forward to being able to play this game. I will need to buy some more packs and I am looking to get some of the popular cards.
Some of the cards are some of the well-known characters on Hive and I am sure these will be well sought after.
So far I have got my first HOLO card and this is the Ink Lamp you can see here. It has an animated sparkling effect to it. The graphics on the cards are really great and I am looking forward to expanding my collection.
I don't know too much about the tokenomics yet, but the token is called INK and is available on Hive Engine. So far I have 3250 staked and get some weekly dividends which is really great.
I am looking forward to the release of the game and learning how to play this one and see how we will earn the INK token.
That's all for this update, thanks for reading.
