One of my favorite games, @RavenQuestGame is coming back for phase 3 tomorrow! To help out new players just getting into the game, I wrote a quick guide on how to maximize your gold and stack your $QUEST! (1/2)

During the last two phases of @RavenQuestGame early access, I had a lot of difficulty finding consistent quest walkthrough videos in English, so I decided to take a crack at it myself. First video covers quests 1 & 2: Dreams and Recollections & A New Reality. (1/2)

Friends don't let friends min/max @RavenQuestGame without walkthrough videos... Today, we've got Mixed Bloodlines on the docket👀

My video for @RavenQuestGame quest #3, "Game Meat" is live! I have the first 10-15 quest videos done, how frequently should I upload them to X? 1 per day or more often?

In this fall... this is very tough... in this fall I'm going to take my talents to @visitsugartown and join @D20_Labs. I feel like it's going to give me the best opportunity to win and to win for multiple years, and not only just to win in the regular season or just to win five games in a row or three games in a row, I want to be able to win championships. And I feel like I can compete down there.

Gotta give a huge shoutout to one of my #3L3herd frens @Broccoli_NFT! I commissioned my first piece of NFT art and he knocked it out of the park! One of my fav @3L3NFT x @GunslingersNFT Horse… can’t get over this… hit up @Broccoli_NFT if you want some unreal commissions!

Finally rolled my gutter juice and got this Clone! Does #gangfollowgang @GutterCatGang?

From 80 seizures a day to plotting Sugartown world domination, here’s how I found my way to @visitsugartown 👇 A little over 13 years ago, I had three experimental brain surgeries, including a resection of my right parietal lobe. I was suffering from epilepsy and was having as many as 80 seizures a day, and after the third surgery, they seemed to stop. I got the call yesterday from my neurologist that my recent EEG (brain scan) came back clear for the 12th year in a row. From age nine on, doctors told me I’d be lucky to make it to high school, and likely wouldn’t live to graduate and go to college, get a job, or have a family. Jokes on the first eight neurologists and neurosurgeons who passed on my case, bc I get to wake up every day and plot @visitsugartown world domination w/ @camolNFT, and they're all banned from Sugartown

day 1 exploring @AbstractChain: gaming (majority) - won a game of @playduper and was momentarily the number one casual player. if you like strategy games at a relaxed pace that will tear apart your friend group as you beat them all, this is the game for you! - also tried @ocapgames for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. was skeptical initially due to saturation in the TCG market, but appreciated the design of Vibes. - continued mining on @the77bit BitHub. right now it's just questing, but i'm eager to get my hands on the game. - watched some frens stream games (streaming could use higher max volume). s/o @Yin_NGMI @uhhdub and @SamSteffanina -- if you're reading this monologue do yourself a favor and check out their streams. bridging over / global wallet / dashboard - @RelayProtocol had the fastest bridge time, took less than a minute. fan of @StargateFinance , but congestion seems to have gotten the best of them so far - global wallet is cool, but have seen some technical concerns above my paygrade to speak on; will add that it tried to charge me on eth mainnet to link add'l wallets--not sure what was up with that - dashboard is VERY SLICK. UI is visually appealing and i didn't encounter any bugs. love the upvote feature for d'apps in concept--curious to see how this improves discoverability of quality or if it just becomes a social farm method for featured d'apps closing thoughts: - launch was on par with my expectations, not a ton of dapps live relative to every threadooor's ecosystem maps, but enough to spend most of the day exploring. optimistic that in the coming days & weeks we see more meaningful dapp deployments and games going live.

I’ve been considering getting into @photofinishgame for a bit now. Any good primers or resources for getting started?

I wanna give a huge shoutout to @camolNFT @acollnft and the rest of the @visitsugartown team! Last week they found out that @pizzalord_pizza, @nard_top, and I were repping team Sugartown at the @iceyyy_gaming @moonraygame Invitational vs @100xPodcast, and on the spot generously donated 3 Oras to the prize pool! Even though we took a massive L in team deathmatch, two top Moonray players (@walmart_en and @Raidenderp) were onboarded to Sugartown, and I ended up winning team Sugartown MVP to secure this Ora for myself. Last, but certainly not least, s/o to @EmpressRaeon who absolutely crushed it during her first time as a host for the event! /all_in on Sugartown.

On-chain horse racing? Absolutely elecric! Took home second in my first race after reading through the docs! I was seriously impressed with everything built by the team and the help in getting started from the community. Looking forward to building out my @photofinishgame stable!

“A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.” What an experience. From getting to see hundreds of faces light up trying @PlayWildcard for the first time to battling @TeamLiquid on the @LVLUP stage, the past few days have felt like a blur. One of the coolest parts of the trip was getting asked, “what’s your competitive gaming background?” I would always chuckle before saying, “I don’t have one.” and seeing the temporary disbelief on people’s faces. My only “competitive experience” in gaming is cash tournaments and P2As for web3 games—mainly battling it out in @moonraygame in the @100x_Official discord. That being said, I do have thousands of hours in ranked play across a few other games, and when I’m not injured, I compete in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, so I had an idea of what to expect and not get caught off guard by the setting. When I was asked by the Wildcard Team if I would be interested in competing at LVL Up, it was a an immediate yes. While the mix and match series didn’t go @bobqinXD & I’s way (h/t @Dragoonneth & @Lourlo), I would’ve never imagined I’d be on a stage competing against @TeamLiquid, let alone walking away with a W and memories to cherish for a lifetime! Huge thank you and shoutout to everyone @PlayWildcard @ThousandsTV and @TeamLiquid who made this possible!

does this constitute workplace violence?

Hans Zimmer live. Maybe the greatest performance I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I'm absolutely floored. Final 30 seconds of Time (Inception).

While the recent popular narrative has been, "web3 gaming is dead," I think this past week made it evident that far too many people have conflated "I'm not making money hand over fist daily by playing early access video games" with "web3 gaming is dead." For me, GDC 2025 was an absolute blast. I had a great time reconnecting with old friends, meeting new ones, and playtesting some upcoming games! Of the new games I got my hands on @WolvesDEN__ , @wardensascent and @project_o_gg both smashed my expectations! I have played far too many creature catchers that feel like downgraded-imitation Pokémon, but the @Pixelmon team did a great job differentiating from Pokémon and adapting the gameplay mechanics to a casual mobile experience with Warden’s Ascent. @koingamesio came out as the clear winner with Project O--there was never a moment of free time when someone at the Den wasn’t playing. Likely the most approachable, sticky TCG I’ve played to date. Outside of the Wolves Den, the highlight of my trip was the @SolforgeFusion tournament at the @100x_Official house, and getting to meet all of the 100x homies in person. We've been playing a ton of SolForge online the past few months, and getting to play the physical game was a whole different beast! Speaking of tournaments, watching @SamSteffanina shock the world by winning the Project O tournament and seeing @paytkaleiwahea and @StormingWeb3 take home @PlayWildcard EX 2 was a ton of fun, and capped off the week on a high note! Between all of the great people I met and the games I played, I had a great time and want to give a special shoutout to everyone from @WolvesDAO and @100x_Official who made this trip awesome--100x that

Something about @feetpixwtf trending makes me bullish on NFTs rn, interested in what's to come with what has been said about a a potential burn mechanism and the tiering of traits (bronze->platinum)...

I tried out a new game mode, Last Stand, in @bullieverse's @necrodemic_game this weekend with some buddies in @socialsrising and enjoyed it despite getting absolutely rekt… My feedback largely remains similar to the Phobos Lake mode (tl;dr: fun core loop, could use improved graphics), with a few additional notes. One suggestion for this mode would be adding more time in between rounds to purchase new weapons, as it currently feels very rushed. By the time I could purchase a new weapon and get back to the barrier, most of the zombies were attacking the barrier already. I think it would also be helpful if the barrier's HP was shown in place of the bull's health as the barrier being destroyed coincides with loss/death. The current placement of the barrier's HP bar hinders short & long range sight when aiming and looks odd. Lastly, the grenade throws look pretty silly emitting from the chest of the bull which I don't think I picked up on in Lake Phobos. Overall, I think Necrodemic has the potential to be really fun if the graphics and textures are improved and some of the fighting mechanics look cleaner.

The people’s champ?

spent the last 8 weeks working extremely hard on this super proud to finally share💚

Man, what a journey it's been… Two years ago, I tweeted asking for suggestions on which early-access blockchain games I should check out. The responses, as you'd expect in November '23, screamed Shrapnel, Pirate Nation, Fableborne, and Deadrop—the most promising titles of the time. A lone comment stood out to me. There was no shill, no token, no call to action, just the handle of a game: @PlayWildcard. At the time, I had just bought a gaming PC but didn't play many PC games. My primary hardware was a PS4 Pro. I also hated my previous experiences with MOBAs and hadn't touched a TCG other than Parallel in a decade. However, I still wanted to check out the game for several reasons; most of them came back to, you guessed it, the Bettners! I spent a large portion of my childhood (and still to this day) playing Age of Empires and Age of Mythology, and when I was diagnosed with an extreme medical condition, Words with Friends was how I connected with friends and family while in the hospital. Also, at the time, I could count on one hand the number of times a founder of anything had reached out and asked me to try their product. At the very least, I figured I owed it to the Bettners to give Wildcard a shot. So, I FAFO'd and showed up to watch a playtest—at worst, I'd lose 30 minutes to an hour of my day. Boy, were my expectations off… I went in half expecting to leave the playtest, delete the server, and go about my day, but instead, the exact opposite occurred. I watched one match and then asked for a playtest key. Without knowing the controls, I jumped in and felt that feeling I hadn't felt with a game in so many years…like Geralt slaying the last Crone, like the Lone Wanderer killing Lanius Legate. I was now Locke of House Chronos. I fell so deeply in love with the game, despite the limitations and bugs that come with any early access build, that I showed up to every playtest three days a week. Eventually, I was asked if I wanted to join a small cohort of players who would help playtest development builds and influence the game design. It was an absolute no-brainer, and the next thing I knew, I was in Brad's Bunch. Being a part of Brad's Bunch has been one of the most remarkable experiences of my life. It sounds cheezy, but watching champions and summons start in concept art and then come to life before your eyes is quite magical. This past summer, I had to take some time away for surgery. The Wildcard team found out, and the next thing I knew, I had a Wildcard care package in my mailbox. Some time passed, I kept playing and cracked 150 in-game hours, and then @ThousandsTV was announced, along with its exhibition series. I was thrilled when the team asked me to participate in EX 1, and I was honestly shocked that I kept getting invited back after how poorly I played. To my even greater astonishment, a few short weeks later, I was asked if I'd be willing to travel out west for an EX. Next week, I leave for Vegas to compete with @Dragoonneth against @TeamLiquid at LVL UP, where we will be representing Brad's Bunch and I'm freaking pumped! One thing I struggle with a lot is getting overly focused on short-term stressors rather than believing in the journey. Reflecting on where Wildcard has taken me is a good lesson on the latter. If you made it this far, go follow @ShadyShiba_ @LeahsWildWorld @TheOnlyRemyD @MadCuzBradley — they will likely be both happy and confused to see an influx of new followers lol

Just over 12 days left and the competition is heating up. Ascended 10 of my @playhatchlings this morning, but unfortunately only had a recording from last season... now its time to finish strong!

Shout out to @kokid951 for sending me this dope @chumpzonape by @KCMontero! Can’t wait to meet and hang with the community!

I’ve been impressed with @Ronin_Network ever since I’ve ventured further into the ecosystem lately. Onboarding @pixels_online and @ApeironNFT was a brilliant move, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed both games. Finite subsidized gas fees on a daily basis is also a great touch. Shoutout @Phin_totten and @Hantao for being great representatives of the chain; recently delegated my staked $RON to @Moku_HQ.

Tbh, I don't plan on selling any $rcade. I would rather spend in-game, stake to nodes if possible, or hold. The quality of @rgprojectnova and @playhatchlings speaks for themselves. Two vastly different games in almost every imaginable way that are both immensely enjoyable. After playing so many bad web3 games, it was refreshing to play good games that didn't feel like DeFi projects with a gamified UI or just straight-up bad games.

A little while back, myself and some fellow Sugartownies squared off in a @moonraygame tournament (s/o @iceyyy_gaming), now it looks like it’s time to clash on our terms. Here’s to hoping the cards fall our way this time around… 😂😭 See you all at the tables /all_in

To date, I've played about 180 web3/blockchain-integrated games. I have a notion list of them all, with another 20-30 games I have on my radar to play soon. Once I hit 250 and start getting closer to @uhhdub territory, I'll post the list. What games should I checkout and add?

I checked out @Necrodemic_game with the @socialsrising fam for the first time recently after its latest update! Overall, I enjoyed the core loop of the game: zombie survival 3rd person shooter; defeat zombie bears and other creatures in waves until you die or get through 30 rounds. The movement and hit registration both felt good, but I think the experience could be tied together if the graphics and map textures improved. That being said, the game is in beta and still in development.

Weekend gaming checklist📝: - @mypethooligan with the @100xPodcast homies - @TakedownLegends check out global launch - @rgprojectnova get to chapter 20 on early access - @blastroyale loot to $noob - @MAYGnft beta for p2a & kill @uhhdub - @playoffthegrid extract hexes and catch Ws - @visitsugartown RNPC!!! - @playRIFTSTORM alpha test live Monday Bonus: - @PlayWildcard @thousandstv stress test What’s missing? 🤔

As this has eaten at me internally for the past few weeks, I wanted to share my loss as a lesson for those intrigued by defi and finding new yields: there is always a risk. In January, I was surfing through a site that aggregates stablecoin yields into a dashboard and shows the best yield you can get measured against 1, 7, and 30-day apys. Wanting to expand my footprint on @modenetwork, I deposited a hefty (to me) sum of $USDC. I wanted to have liquid ready in case of a price drop in crypto majors and get a better yield than I would have in a savings account or treasuries. Unfortunately, the protocol I deposited into, @ionicmoney, was socially engineered by a threat actor impersonating Lombard Finance into listing a faked synthetic BTC token on Ionic, which was then used to steal $8.5mm from the protocol during the attack. I don't want or need anyone’s pity or sympathy. I was aware of the risks and should've acknowledged Ionic’s previous two exploits as a sign that I should use a different market, not a “let’s still rip it” conclusion. I just needed a place to vent this, and I would rather be clowned on by online strangers than IRL friends for losing my magic internet money. Ultimately, if there’s a lesson to be learned here: never assume your funds are safe when you aren’t in custody of them & don’t use Ionic (or any of the other effected parties) for the foreseeable future until they've sorted out this mess.

You heard it here first, I am now the final boss of Sugartown (pls forward complaints to Camol’s DMs, texts preferred if you have his cell)

First it was @rgprojectnova, now it's @playhatchlings, next it will be Phoenix Flight... the answer was always @Revolving_Games. Btw, I'm already top 30 on both leaderboards, who else is grinding?

I've met an awesome group of fake frenz as a member of @socialsrising, and after seeing how hard @tradesgiving works as a leader along with the committee heads, this comes with little surprise. Well deserved and a huge accomplishment, lets keep it up faux frens!!
