OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 500th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

How is my dear Hive community? I hope very well, in mid-October of last year one of the few friends I have in Uruguay had a birthday so she decided to invite us to a restaurant called Doña Marta, a very nice three-story place on Canelones street , in the heart of Parque Rodo.

At that time I used a retraction stl file and I was testing individually the value in each of the tests, in this way I wasted a lot of material, although we admit that the retraction files are small, but the fact of having to make 10 tests to find the exact point is a waste of material that from now on I will no longer have to do.

I already took a walk through the community rules and reading some of the posts to know more or less how they are handled. I hope to be able to create good content for you about our weekend adventures although they are not as frequent as I would like hehe. But I will be introducing you to a little bit of our beautiful Margarita Island.

This is a letter to the newbie who is waking up to big downvotes, and hopefully this post might offer a better explanation than what you've been given. (No, lol I'm not the one giving you the downvote. I'm just going to explain what I've observed over the years.)

If I design a deck with no other creature summon spells whatsoever, the only cards which might be lost to her ability are lands. I'm not sure yet whether this constant land exile threat will cause problems. For now, I will include lots of artifacts, enchantments, instants, planeswalkers, and sorceries I can hopefully play for free. The enchantments are my main defensive tool, especially when they let me steal an opponent's creature or lock down their abilities. Hopefully token generators will make up for the lack of creature spells.

"Stay positive!", "Everything will work out!", "Think happy thoughts!", "Connect with Light!". You've probably heard this and similar advice many times, especially from people who work on awareness and spirituality. This is valuable, sure, but it's not always possible and may be profoundly detrimental if forced, because this life isn't always awesome and sometimes, simply put, shit happens. We smell it, we see it, denying it isn't wise or productive.

There's nothing more important to a parent than the happiness of their children, that's why many times, we find ourselves doing things we didn't want to do, things that in other times were common for us to avoid somehow.

As far as I can remember I've always spoken the way I do. It is always straight to the point for some reason. Even when I was in grade school I remember some adults would get angry and/or complain to my mom about whatever I said.

This #beersaturday, the wife and I had to clean up the backyard from some strong winds that blew everything around. My wife went to work early as she usually does and arrived back home shortly after lunch. She told me that she was bringing me home something I will like. What she brought home was a 12 pack sampler of the IPA's from Lagunitas Brewery, which is not to far from our house. The 12 pack had three of each IPA that Lagunitas regularly brews which are the "Hazy Wonder", "Daytime", "Little Sumpin", and their most popular simply called "IPA".

So we started the day at McDonald’s for breakfast, because why not? Of course the only suitable option to eat was pancakes with a toffee latte.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
