Three of us have done all of this, but we have arrived at that point where we really need your help! Read this thread, watch the videos with sound on, and help us keep building our incredible gaming universe in Web3. We can finish the first version of our game for $50k. We have been working hard to get to this point for three years. In this thread you will see cinematics made with AI, and gameplay in Unreal Engine. This post is me asking every friend that we have made in our building journey to help us by tagging chains, grants, angel investors, anyone who might be able to help us make our dream come true. Just share it out, tag them, and say 'you need to take a look at what these guys are building'.

Make more movies with this dude. He held the tension and delivered the action with nice screen presence. Even with a slow burn like RR. Very nicely done!

I care.

If three of us pulled this off so far from scratch so far with nothing but a heart full of dreams, imagine what we will achieve with a fully funded game! We are excited for partnerships synergies, and collabs. DM's open! Built on @UnrealEngine with @thirdweb tech stack and a whole lot of passion!!! Lesgoooooooo!!! #Web3Gaming

Any RT's would be massively appreciated! Our NGO has hit its limit on how many kids we can feed, and we desperately need extra funds to come in immediately! January is brutal man! Tax rebates available in USA, UK, and RSA. Please help if u can fam! RT counts as generosity!

I love being a dad!! Where all my fellow superdads at?

This would be amazing! Dude is athletic, great charisma, highly likeable, and young enough to carry the franchise for a decade or two. Henry is cool, but he is everywhere.

"DON'T EXPOSE WEB3 ANDREW, WE NEED POSITIVE VIBES!!!" nah, imma do it anyway A lot of the meetings we are in, people tell us about their huge communities, huge transaction rates, mega followings, gaming clans etc. Then we do deep dives and shadow audits to check if any of it is true. Here we go: This is the tip of the CT iceberg. 1) Mostly botted followers on Web3 X with reply guys stimulating fake interest via GM groups. 2) Mostly botted Discord numbers with hired 'chatters' who handle multiple projects at once. 3) NFT collections and Tokens bought back with botted wallets by the founder teams to stimulate floor prices on launch. 4) Web3 games especially - Botted transaction numbers to fleece VC and grants and falsify numbers on stat measurement apps. 5) NFT and Token communities with hired low-wage labor who run multiple X accounts and Wallets simultaneously. - 20 can look like 40 000. 6) Massive KOL syndicates who take an entire NFT supply to promote a Game and TGE launch. We came here to make a game and change lives. And we will be doing it without all of this disgusting fraud.

I'm giving away 18 of my freshly opened Lucilles. You want one? Check out the articles on @OpSafePlace and share a summary of your favorite article with your SEI EVM. If you copy someone else's answer it won't count lol.

🚀 Tadaaaa!

Why are we minting on SEI? 1) We needed a chain that could handle a LOT of transactions - preferably a parallelized system with super cheap gas. Players will have upwards of 1000 NFTs ingame. Speed is everything for us! 2) Their chain, staff, BD, marketing team took our project very seriously and saw it for what it was and for what it is becoming. They answer our messages within minutes, actively look for content creators, and really make us feel like they are behind us. 3) Every chain we chatted to had a grant program, SEI was the only one to discuss it realistically and pro-actively, even explaining a proper roadmap to greater investor discussions. They were the first chain to really convey that they understood the incredibly tough journey of the bootstrapped developer and were never afraid to discuss money as a tool instead of manipulative lever. 4) Just about every other chain we chatted to made us feel like they were doing us a favor. One chain even left our team standing outside an event in Singapore and then only met with our team because their flight was delayed. The SEI head of Gaming made a real effort to spend time with our team and make sure that we understood that they took us seriously. I don't care how big or small a chain is, if they take us seriously, we will take them seriously. When we go to the moon, we take them with us. @SeiNetwork @GamingOnSei @MEonSEI_ @seigamingroom @sei

This is why I love @thearena We just relaunched the $FUNK token and the bond was instant. 🚀 Next stop: $400K market cap and tipping enabled inside Arena! Huge thanks to @jasonmdesimone for making it happen. See you on the moon 🌕

It doesn't matter how deep that pit is, there is always a way up and out. Lock in your diary and ask me anything. I have been helping people climb out of impossible situations for 30 years. There is always hope!! Set a reminder for my upcoming Space! nitter.app/i/spaces/1ZkKzXWMqOaJv

To keep momentum, we must be willing to make sacrifices. I am letting go of some of my personal equity to 33 positions at $1k each for 0.1% No guarantees, no promises of massive returns, just give the video a watch if you are interested. Love ya!

Learning how to take our #starcitizen Machinima up a notch with a Samsung Note20 and an LED screen. If you are keen to help on any creative level, you are most welcome. Love you all! Uncle#2532 on Discord.

This is a sponsored post to see it actually works. Because you know... reasons.

As someone who has been punched in the head before I can assure you that the mega punch to Izzy's head a few seconds earlier from that bomb throwing dutchie would have had a Rhinoceros stumbling around for a few moments. That, and the combined 4 rounds of mutual clobbering...

"DON'T RAGE ABOUT VC ANDREW, IT MIGHT CLOSE DOORS!" nah. imma do it anyway. Can you guys imagine a game where it only takes a thousand players to hit one million active NFTs? Every NFT can be infused into any other NFT and change its ingame stats. This means that every single player has the potential to have their lives changed by other players looking to build S-tier loadouts on the marketplace. 18-20 hour work days over here because we BELIEVE! We have not been able to find a VC that fits yet, most of the big money folks are not excited about our strategy to push the Lion's share of our wealth into the community and our real-life NGO. But once we release, I don't think we will need VC anymore. That window of desperation is shrinking day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. Been working day and night for almost three years through holidays, weekends, weekdays, sickness, exhaustion, humiliation, overdrafts, credit cards, loans and pure bleeding faith. Now here we are, with @GamingOnSei @MEonSEI_ @SeiNetwork @altura @myth_fans @WARPChain_ @UnrealEngine and the incredible @OpSafePlace community, about to drop our first mint, release our first pre-alpha gameplay, and start building the coolest third-person tower defense game in history, right here, with you, in Web3! WE CAME HERE TO CHANGE LIVES! Are you with us? #EveryGirlSafe

I loved the fact that she wasn’t a Mary Sue. So refreshing man! Powerful, tough as heck, but needs and relies on her team. Also the way her brothers love and respect her. So refreshing to see loyalty in a strong family unit. Even with the flawed father. Loved it!

Fun fact: Magic Eden LAUGHED (I kid you not) at the first milestone, our 2D playable browser testing environment a year ago. The guy literally laughed at me and said 'we only work with AAA games'. So I decided that we would start our own NFT launch platform where every single NFT collection uploaded by creators into our ecosystem will be playable in every single game in our ecosystem. So though I know that one rude asswipe does not represent an entire company (I hope), I am grateful that he made me so angry with his offhanded attempt at humiliation. Thanks to Thirdweb, and now WarpDAO, we have the tools we need to give thousands of NFT artists a fun way to keep their collections alive and earning. And believe me, what we are cooking with the newly formed @WARPDAO team is going to blow your mind. I've never seen VC presentations before where the VC asks to join the team... I didn't come to Web3 to stuff around. I came here to change lives, and I am committed to it with all my heart. You have not seen the level of sustained firepower of sheer will, vision and determination of the Web3 wizards we are bringing together. The days of these pump and dump, short selling, greedy ass VCs, monopolized uncaring marketplaces, and ruggafudda founders are numbered!

To reward the first 50 active followers (people who engage with me) as I begin my Web 3.0 career, I am working on a limited collection called 'Neon Warriors'.. 🧵

GM you wonderful bunch!! I’ve had some really cool encounters with potential investors where they are willing to become literal angel investors without understanding web3 or gaming at all. But I really want them to understand the time and risk factors, so I have to walk away from the deal with a heart full of gratitude. Game development is a long, messy process. Web3 is an emerging financial ecosystem. I have found that even the nicest investor can get a little frustrated when their expectations are outweighed by their ignorance. My ideal financial partner is someone who loves and understands Web3 and/or game development. I hate letting people down. Truly hate it. So when you have someone who’s heart is in the trenches with you and truly understands what you are building, it is amazing. All of our smaller investors are like that. True angel investors who are just as excited about the altruistic economic ideology of gaming in web3 as they are about the potential returns.

Wow man. It just hit me. After 3 years of hard work on the game, the lore, the art, and every other tough battle, the Lucille mint is here!!! IT's HERE!!!! Not sure whether I should cry with relief or dance with joy. magiceden.io/launchpad/sei/l…

Want early access to our game when it launches? Follow this account. Want early access to limited high level cards in a tower defense metaverse... RT, comment, get noticed. You have no idea how cool this game is going to be. I've been drooling over this idea for 20 years.

It's a work in progress, but will give you a nice idea of what we are working on. Like, comment, RT is mega appreciated! Le fanks!

At this point, 'KOLs' are doing more damage to all of Web3 than any rug or scam could ever do. Most of you are just prostitutes, parasites and vampires. I'm sad for the projects I see you crapping on all the time, you lot smother babies before they even climb out of the crib.

Working my ass of on X for three years for almost no engagement, low replies, ok-ish attendance at daily live spaces... Ten days of the same intensity on @thearena and I can already launch my own meme coin. @jasonmdesimone is working absolute magic there!

GM fam! Thought some of you might need to see a friendly face. Reply with one of your own if you feel comfortable. X can be a mechanical place sometimes man.

How do you feel about the crypto world and NFT's?

That's how freedom of choice works. I get to block who I want and listen to who I want without someone else deciding who I am allowed to listen to and who I am not allowed to listen to.

Life has a lot more answers than you think. It is my passion and my full-time job to help people climb out of horrible holes. Pop in and AMA! Set a reminder for my upcoming Space! nitter.app/i/spaces/1yNGaNeOZBjJj

This excites me. A chain that uses its resources to support creators and devs alike. @SeiNetwork and @GAMESonSEI consistently make it known to everyone in their ecosystem that they need you as much as you need them. I cannot adequately explain how amazing it is to have partners who don't make you feel like they are doing you a favor, answer your messages quickly, and truly make you feel like your success is crucial for their success. When speaking to other chains, I repeatedly told them that devs are not whores who want to be bought with grants. We need healthy marriages where we love and feel loved! We need money to build our projects, yes, but we also need support on every other level. We need that sense of urgency, that matched energy, and that constant encouragement and excitement. A chain is a digital currency that represents an online culture with real world impact. The Sei team really understand this! You have folks like @ProAboveMe and @tezukaTez (and the rest of the team) who don't wait for you to ask for help, they build entire systems around you. The @OpSafePlace team felt alone for a very long time. Most other chains and ecosystems made us feel like the poor kids in the room, taking days or weeks to answer a message. Remember this friends. Your chain is as important as your game.

Haha. Was so satisfying to watch the inevitable meltdown. Dricus is 100% pure South African resilience. Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie.

I have six Lucille packs. We are a giving community, so I want you to nominate someone that you think deserves a pack, tag them, say something awesome about them and then lets get a Lucille pack to them!

I have this delusional fantasy where everyone in our community earns between 2k and 10k per month. It's one of those weird things where I walk and visualize it every day. Faith has a way of manifesting the strategies to make things possible in the most practical ways. The key is keep doing what is good and what is right for as long as it takes. Everything in life is like farming. You till the soil, sow the seeds, protect the harvest from weeds and insects, make sure everything is watered nicely, and then finally reap and process everything in due season. Sometimes it's a bad season, but you learn to mitigate bad luck with good wisdom as you get to know farming more and more. The key is to learn, grow, and never give up! This is how we give our families the lives that they dream of, and this is how we expand our vision to include thousands of other families!

Yanking people out of nightmarish holes is my life's passion. I have been doing it for 30 years. Pop in, ask questions, hear answers from incredible speakers. There is always a way up and out. Let's find it together Set a reminder for my upcoming Space! nitter.app/i/spaces/1lPKqBqWbznGb

This thread is for those who have failed, felt the sting of failure, humiliation, and depression, but still keep on pushing and working hard at their dreams.

🧵👇 Want success in Web 3 with a small follower count? Here's a thread on why your brand's tone of voice is so important.

As we head into our first official mint, I would like to honor the @OpSafePlace executive team for their hard work with honorable mentions to the @Myth_Overlord and @WARPChain_ leadership who so passionately embrace our vision as their own. Thank you thank you thank you! @rob_osp @CryptoTamsn @z_PapaBear @_sammified

"DON'T RAGE AT THE WHOLE OF WEB3 ANDREW, NOT EVERYONE IS EVIL AND BESIDES, WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" nah. imma do it anyway Most of you are nothing more than someone else's exit liquidity—while using others as your own. You speak with absolute confidence in Spaces, preaching an immoral and unsustainable system through the lens of your own sincere ignorance. Because most of you have no clue what Web3 was meant to be. You treat it like a decentralized stock market—thinking it's all about vesting, flipping, and extracting, just without the rules. And yet, you call this "innovation." In reality, you're participating in blind opportunism, missing the true power of Web3: global financial freedom. This is where @OpSafePlace and @WARPChain_ truly believe we are different. Our entire leadership ecosystem has been through the entire hellish gauntlets of Web2 and Web3 business systems. We're done with these fake metrics, lies about tokenomic liquidity, fake Discord numbers, fake social media followers, fake spaces numbers through botting! It's all lies, smokescreens, and fakery, normalized by people who don't give a damn about you. We aren’t here to inflate fake metrics or sell people a dream that benefits only early insiders. We are building sustainable, transparent, and community-driven ecosystems where: Ownership needs to be real, with real utility. Earnings need to be fair – No insider dumps or VC-controlled vesting schedules. Value must be created by the people, for the people. Access needs to be equal – No gatekeeping. No artificial barriers. No favoring greedy rich vultures over communities who have supported you for so long and so faithfully. Decisions need to be long-term – Every move mapped over a ten-year strategy with one guiding question: 'How does this serve the INDIVIDUALS of our communities?' The current Web3 landscape is ruled by those who extract, deceive, and exploit. That era must end. Otherwise we are no different to Web2. We are here to build something better—where Web3 delivers on its original promise: financial sovereignty for everyone, not just the elite. Time to wake up and stand for something man. Stop being led around by the nose of your greed and desperation.

I am in 23 Sei related Telegram groups. All support groups from @SeiNetwork to help our game succeed. And you still ask 'Why Sei?'

Don't tell anybody that I showed you a sneak peak of what we are building! Turn volume on. I'm talking here! 1) Chop down a tree. 2) Watch your fighter ship swim in the pond. 3) Swim with your fighter ship. 4) Fly around. 5) Check out your sexy dropship. 6) Talk to Gunny, the first AI powered NPC. 7) Fall in love with @OpSafePlace Sooooo much fun! Upwards of 1000 NFTs infused into crazy loadouts on @altura | High speed transactions on @SeiNetwork @GamingOnSei | Built on the @UnrealEngine | Hyper Engine - powered by @myth_fans and @WARPChain_ And this is just the beginnings of our crazy demo for a game that has everything we ever wanted in a game in it!

I get many messages from really great and genuine content creators/marketers. Here's some of the stuff I share with them as a dev/founder: 💻***LECTURE TIME BABY!***💻 Know the difference between a brand campaign and a retail campaign. A brand campaign is about visibility and public perception. A retail campaign is about justifying a powerful call to action and you need to understand what the acronym 'UAC' stands for. Brand campaigns are expensive, but they are a luxury. What bootstrapped projects need is very clever retail campaigns. if you figure this out, you will be absolute Gold as a marketer in Web3! Personal notes: 1) I don't care about follower sizes or engagement metrics. Most of that stuff is fake. I care about someone logging in and playing the game. If you charge $250 for a thread, and one person logs in, the Player Acquisition Cost is $250 per player. Which means you are very very expensive. But if it draws 25 or more players, you are doing a good job! (Especially for that budget) 2) You are a marketer, I am a dev. Don't blame my game if your campaign doesn't work. It's literally why we pay you. If you think my game sucks and you can't convince folks to log in and at least try it, then it's you, not me lol. 3) The average price for one space a month with a few KOLs on stage and 10000 bots listening is $5000. I need to know who we are impressing with that dog and pony show. (I like a good show BTW!) Is the $5k going to help us land a grant or an angel? Is it going to help us attract specific gaming clans? Besides making insecure founders feel cool to be on stage with the popular kids, what does that $5k achieve? You are getting paid to KMC (Know my customers) better than I do! . 4) The main thing is assuring us shoestring devs/founders that you know how user acquisition costs work and that you know our target market better than we do. When we give you money, it is blood money. We are giving you our kidneys and lungs. There are very few Web3 devs with mega budgets where wasteful spending can be justified. So we are trusting you more than you realize. That $100 or $200 or $5k might just be another bill paid to you, but to us it is the difference between success and failure. Not a single one of us wouldn't employ everyone who needs a job if we could. Which is why you have to help us get there. If you do your job right, know your markets and metrics, and understand timing and acquisition sciences beyond the vague copy and paste 'wisdom' trending on the dumbass 'KOL' posts every day, you will create your own security. We need you more than you realize.

Good Morning dear Web3 family. If you are grinding from the bottom, with no money, contacts, or easy opportunities, please give this a read. This is a bit long for some of you, but read it anyway! I learn a lot at these X spaces with the big whales, game developers and thought leaders. BUT I also often leave a little discouraged at how some of us have to grind from the bottom of the bottom while some folks just easily have massive venture capital from before they even set up an X account. It is not jealousy, I celebrate their good fortune with them, it is just the reality of life. Some folks are born in huts with no opportunities, no contacts, and no way to climb out of their hell. Some folks (like me) are born into a house with electricity and hot water, which is luxurious in comparison. Others (like my kids) are born into a life of opportunity, joy, peace, and hope. Our realities are all different. You have to look at your situation, accept your reality, and then work harder than anybody else to climb your mountain. Discouragement must not be left to fester. It must be answered immediately with resolve and hard work. Not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Very few are. You might not have the contacts, the parents, the friends, or the country that will help you out of your hole. But what you have is the ability to work hard. Hope is a handy driver, but so is desperation, anger, vindication, and many other things. Grab the emotional branch that you see and use it. Tonight I am tired. I have been pushing, grinding, working, doing the work of five people by myself for 14 months, often 18 hours a day. I listen to a space with kids in their 20's who get given million dollars in budget to have fun and build what they want to build. Honestly, if I could, I would do the same for my kids. And that is what drives me. I want to do the same for my community here in Web3, my community around me, and my family. I let it whip me along relentlessly. And I encourage you to do the same. Feeling sorry for yourself is the worst possible investment of your time. Work through the damned emotions, the feelings of injustice, the constant nagging feeling that you are going to fail. Grind through it and prove the damned thoughts and feelings wrong. If you can move forward one millimeter today, whether it is physically towards your goal or just by learning something new, you have had a good day. So GRIND friend. GRIND!

I waged war with suicidal depression for 15 years of my life. Then I chose this kind of viking/unlcefunk persona and embraced life for the hell that it was. About 9 years ago I decided that darkness was no longer permitted near me, around me, or in my thoughts. Now I answer anxiety with hard work. I knuckle down and focus on the light that is my hopes and dreams. I am obsessed, focused, and unstoppable. And I am happy!

I lost around $1,000. I got drained. Here’s what happened: I received a message on X from someone I follow. He’s a well-known person in the Ordinals space and trusted by many. This person requested to have a podcast with me. I was happy and immediately agreed. However, he claimed the podcast would happen on a specific website. He sent me the website, and when I clicked on it, it automatically downloaded malware onto my PC, which allowed him to access my desktop. I’m not sure what exactly he was able to access, but one thing is certain he accessed my Arena Wallet. Not necessarily my Arena account, but specifically the Arena Wallet. He sent all the $FUNK I had, along with a few other tokens, to a fresh wallet and sold everything. He left behind my staked $ARENA, some Arena-native tokens, and my tickets. Since I had over $500 invested in community tickets, I was also worried he might drain those funds, kick me out of the account, and sell everything. I’ve been advised by @CryptoTamsn to take the following steps: Sell all my tickets for the community and repump the funds into $FUNK in the coming days. This way, we can compensate the people whose tickets we sold, pump the $FUNK chart, and add more $FUNK to my own bag which I’ll then be able to give away. So even though I’m selling the tickets, I’m using that money to give back to the people who believed in me and the $FUNK token. That’s my gift and my apology to you. As of now, we are contacting @jasonmdesimone, @CollinCusce, and @thearena to see if we can save the account and set up a new wallet. Otherwise, I’ll have to use another account to continue streaming and spreading the $FUNK! I am currently changing all my passwords, resetting 2FA, and formatting my main desktop. What I know about the hack: Apparently, this virus is contagious. If someone gains access to your PC, they can log you out of X, access your account, and start DM’ing your followers with scam links. Since your followers trust you, they might fall for the scam. Please do not click on any links coming from my account over the next few days, as I don’t know the extent of the hacker’s access yet. For context, the hacker also gained access to BillyXBT’s account. Billy is a good guy, but his account is currently in the hacker’s hands—not his. Stay safe everyone. This only motivates me more to work on $FUNK and pour my heart and soul into it. The evil goblins of the world will not break me. We will rise stronger and bigger!

🚨 FUNK IS FINALLY ON ARENA! 🎉 1️⃣ $FUNK relaunched through the Arena Launcher 2️⃣ Instantly bonded, reaching a ~$150K market cap 💥 3️⃣ Built for and with the Arena fam — and we’ve got big plans coming 👀 4️⃣ Huge thanks to @jasonmdesimone for creating a platform where culture wins 🙌 5️⃣ No VC. No presale. 100% community-led. 🧾 CA: 0x566445F0D154D09573ec0Ae4e373C8340D41548e 🛒 Buy $FUNK right here: 👇 arena.trade/token/0x566445F0…

Wild truth: After 3 years grinding Spaces, Lives, and posts on X… I built a stronger, realer community in 25 nights on Arena Social. Every night since April 26th, we’ve been live with The Funk Show — that's 25 days of building... And somehow, even the bots over there are more supportive. 😂🤖 No clout games. No shadow bans. Just vibes, memes, and mad love from real ones (and their friendly AI cousins). Turns out when you stop feeding the algorithm and start feeding the people, you get a community. Fact: This is not a sponsored post and I don't get special treatment. Don't think @thearena or @jasonmdesimone even knows who I am lol. The app is just that good. And remember, we are building @OpSafePlace on @GamingOnSei (SEI is VERY fast), so Arena social as a founder funnel is unprecedented regardless of what chain you are building on. Also, ChatGPT thinks I'm a black dude! haha I think I shall keep it this way! 👇

Also... the heck is going on with the GM list each week. Trying to get the next Conqueror thingie but same dang GM's on rinse n repeat.

Merry Christmas fam! I worked hard to bring you this 10 minute explainer vid about the Katsu mint that is about to happen. Meet the heroes of @OpSafePlace : Crispus, a 2000 year old mage. Lucille, a young healer. Abt, an 8 meter tall tank. ..and @ospKatsu The Tech Mage who will be the star of our January mint. 4 free mints, Jan, Feb, March, April - all as an exciting part of our community growth campaign to make our exciting game possible. (You can see more deets about the game in my pinned post). Enjoy!!

Been dreaming about doing this for 20 years. Watch the vid, dream with us, join the Discord, help us build!

Fam. Our spaces are wonderful. 🏕🏖🏜🏝🏞 Book the time, pull up a chair, meet our epic @OpSafePlace Family! Set the reminder now! nitter.app/i/spaces/1BRKjZyZMERKw

Lucille mint for noobs. ezpz: Key goes to everyone on the WL. Then you need to get a Lucille when she mints. The combo opens a free Lootbox with crucial @OpSafePlace goodies in it. Tadaaaa!

GM fam! And happy Sunday! Some of the Investor/VC pitch meetings are great fun. Last night I'm explaining to someone that we currently have 8000 unique art pieces just for the Beta testing phase because, other than the tutorial pack, not a single player will have the same artwork or ingame asset skin as any other player. Hence 'Non Fungible Token'. The dude was so impressed that I had to show and explain the entire concept over and over until he got it. haha. Web3 and NFTs are the perfect fit for unique customization in gaming! When we start onboarding other collections from the thousands of creators out there, there will be even more collections added every day! Folks will be able to play Tower Defense modes, FPS Modes, MOBA modes, RTS modes and CCG modes all integrated into an exciting world that uncovers our epic story at a very fast pace, or you can slow it down and enjoy tons of lore while you play. Multiplayer, Co-op, PvP, Raids, Dungeons... An unprecedented clan management and communications social media integration system... I've been dreaming about making this game for 0 years. And I am seeing anyone who is willing to invest, big or small. Watch this space friends, my dreams coming true means you having a LOT of fun!

This photo NEEDS a MEME competition!! Hahaha I'm sending 1 million $FUNK to the top three entries. Lesgoooo!

Sunday Update on OSP and the newly launched FUNK token. Thank you for believing in our vision with us. You are all incredible! Love you all!

Gonna send some Lucille holders a surprise next week. Share a picture of your fav Lucille and your SEI EVM wallet below! You have 7 days. Multiple entries allowed <3

**COMING SOON ON FUNK TV!* I recorded this amazing 45 minute chat with my OG Web3 mentor @leonabboud in 2023. Now that our first NFT range has minted out, it's time to release the video. Prepare yourself for an incredible discussion that could potentially change your life. #soon

Today is the 30th day in a row that we have done the Funk Show on @thearena. Absolutely awesome! We have been number one for both our stage and live sessions without fail - both streamed at the same time. It has been absolutely incredible. The last piece of the puzzle for us is to have the $FUNK token as a tippable token while we are live. Then we can start running our Web2 campaign to onboard people like crazy! Dear lord @jasonmdesimone, king of arena, we your humble denizens who slave in the trenches far below thy notice need thy gaze to fall upon our plight and grant us thy favor! This is more than but a token to us, it is a tool of mass emancipation! Let's gooooo!!!

The mighty @crypto__kermit has been so kind as to loan us his spectacularly murderous acolyte, Lily Pad, to bash some baddies in our upcoming FPS Tower Defense game. You will never find a kinder collection of killers than in Kermit's Kabal! Sound on!

Minted out.

GM fam!!! For those of you who have never been in a band, now is your chance!! Just reply to a bunch of people who don't reply back, and you can join X's new Shadow band! Lesgo!

My weekly appreciation post. <3 June 2025 will mark 27 years of marriage to my hottie @Mandelora . She just turned 50 now in December and lemme tell you: I totally landed with my bum in the butter. She has followed me through every humbling failure and exciting success, and turned wherever we lived into well ordered, clean, five star accommodation. I've never been summoned to wash dishes, wash clothing, or worry about the running of the household in any capacity. Snacks magically appear on my desk whether I am working or gaming and I have never been denied physical intimacy once in almost 27 years. If I was a superhero, my name would be 'Super Lucky'! hehe

My favourite villain was Mads as Dr Hannibal, but this dude was one of the most relatable in expressions of frustration. hahaha

Unity commands blessing. If we maintain this trajectory of figuring out how to work together, we can be the most prosperous country on earth. We have all the right ingredients for it in every sector.

"DON'T SHARE UPCOMING FINANCIAL DEALS PUBLICLY ANDREW! IT'S CONFIDENTIAL!!" nah. imma do it anyway. Especially in this context: We are just a few milestones away from an eight figure deal, and it dawns on me that we were always there, even when we started with nothing but an idea. The key is to pay your dues in blood and sweat, and forget the shortcuts. Everything in life requires milestones, or steps, or rungs in a ladder. Hundred of little milestones, some of them unimaginably tough, but getting less and less every day as you conquer each obstacle. You do the first things, then build the next rung, move up, build the next one, move up, and so forth. And as you build, you see how people who could help you, ignore you. People who could accelerate your growth, delay it. People who could encourage you, criticize you. You trust people and they rob you. You make expensive mistakes, run out of the little bit of cash you have, and keep trying. And with every new rung in your ladder, you meet people who believe in you and can see the real you through the fog of war. But the key is to keep heading upwards, building each rung securely so that you don't plunge to the bottom if the one you are standing on breaks. And you keep your faith intact, believing in what you are building with all of your heart, ignoring the constant information overload of bulls, bears, wolves, sharks, and extractors. You just keep building. Next rung, next milestone. Next step. One foot in front of the other. Weeks will fly by. Months. Years. And suddenly you arrive, and it feels like the weight of a thousand solar systems lifts off your shoulders. But we must keep building! Use what you have, keep sharing your vision with anyone willing to listen. Keep hoping for people who are willing to help you carry. And never even consider giving up as an option! This is the way!

Almost 4 years of hard work. Time to celebrate with a profile pic change. @OSP_TD has launched our limited access Web3 integrated alpha on @SeiNetwork with @GamingOnSei. (So far so good, fixing the catastrophic stuff as we go). @thearena community has kept me alive emotionally with our awesome daily live streams and helped us understand tokenomics with our $FUNK token. @the_citadel_gg Is about to launch the most epic gaming platform you have ever seen - and ON @SeiNetwork! The Funkies NFT are pumping on @MagicEden and we're about to launch the Funkettes on SEI. And we have the best community is Web3. No contest. I'm tired, stressed, and have tons of pressure threatening to suffocate me at any moment. But I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. Love you all dearly! Oh... and... THE CITADEL TGE... is immanent. Watch @CryptoTamsn and @the_citadel_gg very very closely to get airdrops and pre-sale prices....

First time we see her she has a staff. I'm like "Yeah baby! A kung-fu backstory where she gets trained by a blind staff-wielding martial artist type dude! Then give her a double-bladed saber!" But noooo

Just some Hercs exiting jump. #StarCitizen is gorgeous man!

Calling all Web3 game devs (and parallel apps) who need grants/vc. It is really important to us to try and bring all of Web3 up with us as opportunities open, so please read this and participate if you can. While presenting our own project to some really huge VC, we have been working hard to convince them to invest in a REAL incubator that takes your hand as a dev and takes you through every step towards almost guaranteed grants, angel, pre-seed, and seed. So this means the incubator helps with everything from setting up correct documentation to in-house dev teams who help you get to mvp and presentable demo. Some of these VC peeps have absolutely crazy money, and we need to convince them that Web3 game devs are serious, talented players. Those budgets can help literally hundreds of projects with potentially hundreds of thousands in grants (per project). Here's what we need from you to help us present in the comments below: 1) Your trailer/ingame footage/concept pics. (very important) 2) Link to your website or any social media destination where you share your vision. 3) Link to whitepaper or pitch deck. 4) If you have friends who are also building a Web3 game, tag them and ask them to share their work in these comments. 5) Please share the main post wherever you can. This isn't a case of less games giving you a better chance. We need to show that there are hundreds of Web3 games in development and will show this post as proof wherever we present. Remember, we have to prove that a full stack incubator actually has a large scale use case. So make this post go viral! The more Web3 games shilling their best stuff in these comments, the better @WARPDAO is coming! Edit: Don't DM me lol. Put the stuff in the comments.

GM GM GM!!! So grateful for every like, comment and even a pause to read. Engagement helps us founders so much!

Oh wow!! I was listening to @SamSteffanina's space last night, just being my chatty self, enjoying the wholesome vibes, mega wisdom, and epic banter, when I suddenly found out that I had won this 🔥🔥🔥 Operator from @playSHRAPNEL What a fantastic gift! Also big shoutout to the rest of the Web3 Gaming Cabal: @Lemz_4 @GamingOnAvax @itsGnoc @BoredElonMusk @WolvesDAO @ParallelTCGpod @ANordicRaven @jerrysinger @SinjinDavidJung for sharing their thoughts fearlessly! And lets not neglect or forget the epic wisdom (and lulz) from folks in the comments section. Spectacular Space as usual and definitely the number one space for anyone who is excited about the future of Web3 Gaming! Lesgoooooo!

You want to be a successful founder? Be willing to defy the limits that the couch critics place upon you. There has never been, nor will there ever be, a substitute for putting in the work! Here's to you friends!

My top three favorite things were in there: 1) Cartoonishly villainous henchmen overacted to a point of cringe. 2) A 50kg hero beating the crap out of a well trained, muscular 100kg villain. And my personal favorite: 3) Kindergarten level expositional dialog splattered in there for added delicious spice! I tried to watch it again becaase maybe i was just too tired and grumpy to watch it, but then I realised that watching it was what made me tired and grumpy.
