Nov. 3, 20: Coding, A Movie, More Coding, Laps, and Games

At this point it really doesn’t seem like my sleep is going to regulate back to normal ever again. 🤬 Up at four AM and a full three hours short on sleep, bye bye afternoon catchup nap that killed the day before. 😕

Still not much to note during the morning routine, just routine. There’s election blah blah everywhere, so basically trying to tune most of it out. No major moves in the crypto markets, basically trading flat.

I’ve been waking up coding in my head, so it seems like that’s what’s turning my crank for the time being. Spent the whole day trying to fight with the thing to get it to work, ended up getting frustrated, and asked cadawg about it.

Turns out it wasn’t anything I’d done wrong, what I was trying to do (the page I was trying to link to) doesn’t exist! He said (once again) that the code was shit to begin with and wasn’t finished, which is fine, but then he said it should really all be redone in React rather than php. 😭

After all the time I’ve spent watching tutorials and digging through his code to figure out how it works...now I get to do it myself from scratch in yet another framework I need to learn!!! 😡

So I spent most of the evening starting from zero with React, watching a bunch of tutorial playlists...thank heavens for YouTube!

I did try and lay down for a nap in the afternoon, but I put on a movie Unfriended. That was super intense and definitely kept me awake. About the soul of a teen who committed suicide getting revenge on the kids that bullied her. The whole thing was done watching the screen of the main girl’s computer...very interesting approach, kind of Blaire Witch without the headache inducing videography.

Grabbed a leftover hamburger from the other night for dinner and was looking to get ready for bed, but what do you know? I had more than five thousand steps left to go for the day! 😨

Took a really long time to do enough laps to get the steps done, but I did and used the time to watch some more tutorials, so multitasking as well.

After I got my steps in it was time to lay down. Wenche was watching some romantic comedy movie and I fell asleep nearly instantly.

Another crime free day in my dCity! 🤩 Been doing quite well lately, I hope it keeps up. Not really considered my next move exactly, might be time to start seeing what all is available on the market.

Got my income for the day, but they put out an update post saying that they’re going to make playing suckier by adding bad shit happening like disasters and stuff...no point, really, other than to screw us and drive the purchase of countermeasures. AND another “hey you need to pay me again” with a 3rd Edition of cards and ending the 1st edition.

While I have put some money into this game to get it going, I don’t think I’m going to put in any more...the idea was for it to grow on its own. I suppose that will be fine, but I’ll likely fall further behind all the pay-to-players.

Got all my Holybread tasks done today! 🥳 All set for potion refills and item repairs in the morning. I did get a nice weapon for my mage and was able to boost a little that way, but still not able to advance in the ranks.

Contrary to advancing, I’ve slipped even further down! 😢 Not far, though. One or two key wins and I’ll be right back up there.

Just gathering together ingredients now on CryptoBrewmaster, so no change over there.

Still considering buying the brewer’s license, but haven’t yet. It’s not the amount that bothers me necessarily, it’s more the principle of it. I shouldn’t need to pay for permission to move or sell tokens that are supposed to be mine...although, it is a fair argument to say that they are still mine, just in game.

Well, so no urge to even fire Splinterlands up just to close it out again. Honestly, the only time I really even think about it these days is when I do my daily post (like right now) and when I get a red everyone ping over on Discord.

I’ve still got issues I need to work out with this, for sure, but it’s definitely not top priority for my mental energy at the moment.
