From the word "go", I have been on these guys and trying my best to keep a positive light shining over in their direction. Why? A little piece, would be because FPS games are right at the top of the list for my preferred game styles. A bigger piece, is this game, which is completely unfunded by any Hive organization, proposal from the DAO or backing by some self-interested whale(s), has the potential to be the biggest thing to ever hit Hive or any blockchain - period.
Not going to lie, I've seen a lot of assholes try to tear these guys down and get them to walk the other way. I've also seen a lot of self-important suck-ups show their faces trying to further their own agenda off Psyber-X's gusto making it look like they care about what is going on - but really just trying to get their own bullshit more notice.
But, I have yet to get a wink of sleep on these guys. Recently, they got fully funded - (go read for yourselves) - and I am looking forward intensely to see and hear the details about that and playing the demo. If you are snoozing on LVL, I suggest you stop and smell the roses in this garden over here. Oh, did you know they're donating 10% of the crate sales to @monica-ene over there to help out the school systems? I thought that was honorable.
As the Chaos is unleashed in Splinterlands, I am really impressed with some of the cards. I seriously think this series was designed specifically to obliterate the previous releases of cards. I may even be tempted to prove it by running a Chaos Legion only deck here real soon. I lack but a few cards to max out a deck, and with a whole new clan of dragons? I am confident this deck is going to be total beast mode.
There are a few new abilities I am really loving like one called 'recharge'. It attacks every other turn, but goes ballistic and does triple damage! Then there is this one called 'giant killer' which is perfect for those big beasties like Magnor and the Kraken - doing double damage to any card that costs 10 mana or more. Even the Kron/Llama combo you see so often being spammed, is in major jeopardy now. Yodin is still a problem, but...his day will come.
The most (in my humble opinion) underrated card in the deck, is actually a common one from the Earth Splinter. The Goblin Psychic. Tank Heal at level 1, Affliction at level 4, Silence at level 7 and finally at level 10 - Dispel - which is quickly becoming my new favorite ability to remove all those buffs on the tanks to destroy them easily. What about you? Do you have a 'new favorite'?
I was recently tagged by @snook in a recent post and again by @bluefinstudios a few days ago in another to answer a few questions. I've been pretty lax on entering any kind of challenges or competitions lately, but fuck, might as well. I'm a team player, right?
So I have this list of questions I am going to rattle off, do my best to answer them to someone's satisfaction, and then tag some of you out there in the hopes that maybe you will join in the 'getting to know us a little better' fun of it all. So, let's get this fun little party started!
How long have you been on the Blockchain?
If we are referring to Hive, than no longer than most of you - since March 20th, 2020.
What was your background in cryptocurrency when you first came to the Blockchain?
I was a very early adopter and miner of Bitcoin, and just been paying attention ever since.
What was your background in writing when you first came to the Blockchain?
I've written and published a few poetry books, did a lot of copyediting for websites and various projects plus majored in English Journalism. Oh, and from time to time, I'll throw some lyrics out there to let 'em know.
How many people did you know when you first came to the Blockchain?
This question is vague, I knew like ten thousand people or maybe even more. If you mean here? The initial Steem space? Just one. Went by the name of Dan.
How did you meet people when you first came to the Blockchain?
I commented and wrote and replied. Is there another way to meet someone on chain?
Who did you look up to when you first came to the Blockchain?
Nobody too specific. I had (and still have) a lot of respect for @neoxian. He's not bullshit, he knows what it's all about. I've also always had a respect for @timcliff as he's been a straight shooter since I've crossed paths with him. I'm sure I could make a giant list and kiss ass to a bunch of people, but that's not me. I did however, try to surround myself with like minded people and gravitate towards more positive influences.
How would you describe your first three months on the Blockchain?
Sure as fuck wasn't a picnic. I found out that despite being decentralized, you still can't post whatever you want because there are some keyboard warriors waiting to be asshats and slap you across the face around every corner. Had to squad up real quick.
Has being a part of the Blockchain changed you in any way for the good?
Me personally? Aside from making some friends, not really. I'm still the same, not some wannabe fake-woke triggered little bitch. It has had a positive impact on my family and everyone I touch though. I've been consistent and lucky enough to say that I may just have changed others' lives.
What is your favorite memory from your time on the Blockchain?
Honestly, I don't have a favorite. I have so many from hanging out with @katrina-ariel and @elizacheng and @yidneth in Krakow to chilling with @dreemsteem and @snook and @mariannewest and @davedickeyyall in Colorado to holding up @sircork's head in Nashville. Just so much. So, I suppose it's the real life stuff with people I've met on chain that holds the most brilliant candles.
If you could advise a new person signing up to Hive, what would it be?
It's a fucking media outlet so you sure as shit better not believe everything you hear or read around here.
Let's see, who to tag, how about some people that just 'got back' to the chain like @papacrusher and @vm2904 and for good times sake, I wanna see if @psyberx will join in on this.
Shit, I been metal just as long as I been Hip Hop. Been pimpin' since the 80's, what you know about that. Ha! Anyways, PIMP 2.0 has been released and the tokens are putting in work for all of us. Well, at least some of us. The ones that know what it means to HODL.
There is a weekly meeting of the PIMPs in the Castle (currently referred to as Santa's Workshop) every Hump Day at 9 am CST. This week, we have a few things to discuss about the numbers game. I know several of you have seen some things starting to add up in those Hive-Engine wallets, and we're just getting started.
For those that aren't aware yet, @shadowspub has started 'Pimp Your Post Thursdays' back up over there in @dreemsteem's Dreemport server. I've been PIMPin' posts since it started, so, I thought it would be fitting to start throwing some PIMP love to people that present their posts - on voice. Maybe I'll see your happy asses there!
Get your PIMP on my humans. I know it's flu season and several of my fam is down atm moment so take your time to send some good thoughts over to @wesphilbin and his family and to our lovely @saffisara. In the meantime, while you do what you do, REMEMBER TO BE YOU! I always am, even when Santa doesn't throw me candy at the parade.

Everyone sure had their taste of the not too nice newbie experience, I bet I didn't know the slightest thing about blogging but we are all here together.
Its really much easy when you are familiar with Blockchain before joining hive I guess.
Its such an honorary thing to dedicate 10% of crate sales to charity. That's such a huge one and am surprised and grateful that @psyberx made such a decision.
Yes! Love that part. Big ups to them for that.
War begins was so dope I really like they are doing more with the lore and adding in these dope video/voiced ones.
I will have to check out psyberx looks pretty cool but haven't had much time for anything other than Splinterlands LOL
Nice meeting you today in PYPT
!PIZZA
Likewise. I've been on Splinterlands since day 1 too. Gaming is what is going to make blockchain tech noticed by the masses (I think).
I was wondering where this PIMP token came from! Awesome. We staked it before we knew what it was 😎🍺
oh my gosh - i'm dying laughing lol
No one's gonna come between me and my PIMP!

I share your enthusiasm for FPS - this game is going to affect my schedule😬
LMAO right???? I will probably stop playing Splinterlands and just rent out all my cards so I can focus on killing the opposition in Psyber-X!
i'm scared of how its going to try to addict me. lol
Oh you know I love a challenge ! I'll make this my next post topic!
I be lookin out!
Great post and I love the gaming as well
What kinda games you like?
hahaha that's gold! 😂
I totally agree as this is a great piece of advice! 👍👍👍
Well it's true.
Sure thing, I think that's applicable in general. Be vigilant and don't accept anything for the truth without giving it a second thought
I am smelling those roses in the garden. Now the question is will I get the LVL in time. 🤔 But I will get there eventually, I know that. Good music selection. !PIZZA

I am so happy and grateful to be here on the blockchain... And meeting you @enginewitty and many more in Krakow and Bangkok is super duper excited and fun!!! And trying to find our ways in the maze in the AltSpace Hive Fest with you was a great memory too even though I ended up losing my way and got separated with you 😂😂😂.
Holy crap that maze was nuts! Super fun, you're good company sweets!
This shooter game got me excited coz I felt finally, I can get my teens interested to hop in - but I still hesitate as I am not sure I want to be the one to push them into the not so good of Hive ;p
Feel ya there doll, are they shooter fans?
I think the boys play this game called Valorant

Well, learned some stuff about ya, witty that I wouldn't have guessed. Poetry books? That is awesome.
We used to run some BTC miners too, back in the day before the electricity outweighed the rewards. But they did heat our house in the winter, lol.
Chaos League is awesome. Another new ability that I like is Amplify - which Increases Magic Reflect, Return Fire, and Thorns damage to all enemy monsters by 1. I'm nowhere near to having very many of the new cards maxed - my packs basically got me to level 4 only.
Love the PIMP initiative, I gotta get that PIMP graphic for my posts!
HA! Amplify definitely has it's uses. Couple it with Owster, Mylor or Lir? Ya it's beast mode for sure. Feel free to save the graphic!
Yes, sire!
I cannot wait for PsyberX to be playable. Sorry to hear about your first few months but you persevered through SQUAD and integrity, Keep on rolling and good luck with your future ventures on Hive!
Dang skippy! And most appreciated, thanks for stopping in!
Been on Hive about the same amount of time. Got into steem in 2017 and then life took me away from everything, lost my keys, then found them again about 6 months ago. I found psyber-x through a reblog and have since bought 200K LVL because of them, otherwise, there'd be no way I'd invest in it, but I believe it will be a game changer...see what I did there...
Now I see what the ladies meant when they were talking about "language" earlier lol I suppose it is what it is 👌 But did you seriously know the names of all those 10thousand friends?.
Have enjoyed reading the replies to snooks questions from her friends and it was cool getting to know you a bit more through your answers, glad you shared.
I meant people before and ya, I could list 10k peoples names. Easily a thousand just from school :P
I could attempt 100 but make no promise on a 100% accuracy 🤷♀️ must be a pimp thing 🤟 stay pimping bro.
Love you too man. :*
