Hey, it's 2022 already? It feels like it's been 30 years since I was here.
(and that comment ties in this pic of me from last week taken while enjoying my daughter's 30th birthday dinner with her.)
Yep, I'm alive, and sitting upright!
checks history
Gosh, the last time I was here was about a year ago, checking in like I am now, to let everyone know I'm not dead yet, much to most everybody's chagrin.
Received some nice mentions from folks feeling nostalgic in their posts over the past year, sorry I'm just getting back to you kind people. Love you too. (@enforcer48 , @papacrusher , @enginewitty , @novacadian , @littlescribe ) Kind of you to remember little old me. I'm flattered and honored.
Of course, I had to meter responding to those, because my account is long ago emptied and I had very little RC. So I see that's still a huge stoopid barrier to entry that hasn't been removed. Betting attracting and keeping new users is going great thanks to that awesome pay to play approach.
But I digress.
It looks like a giant Splinterlands support website anyway at this point.
Tell me why it isn't and what's going on around here. I'm curious how junior has been progressing since I became an estranged parent. :D
Tell me what you have been up to in the comments below, and some day, I'll reply when my RC allows me to, because I'm not sure I'm gonna put any power up in here just yet. Convince me why I should maybe? :D
To everybody here I love, I love you still, and to those of you who suck, you probably still do.
Sincerely,
SirCork

I've been up to no good according to some.
That's what I like to hear!
I see you're still a grouch.
I'm an incorrigible dirigible just floating by.
Like a turd that won't flush?
Swirling around the world.
We love you back.
You'd be so proud. He knows how to put on his own pants now.
Kiss kiss, Dahling :)
Mwa! 💋
Mama misses the Corky!
Hey, long time, no see! I hope life's been treating you well, especially considering how life in general has been lately.
As you can see, I'm still here writing posts on a semi regular basis...
I hope you can build up some RCs again. Perhaps a small delegation would help with that...
Im doing okay, down in southern middle Tennessee now. RCs would probably be wasted on me. I don't have anything new to say these days. :)
HA! I love that picture, looks like a Star Trek insignia in the halo from the play on the candlelight. I been on Splinterlands since day one and done well with it but you're right - most all you see is LEO and that. Started my own token, being dad. The usual. Got booted off FB for being me in the process. Good to see ya out and about my man.
I'm about, here and there. Apparently, annually. I don't know why they let me keep a FB account. I'm as bad as anybody else there. Maybe worse.
Well mate. All I can say is that I'm glad to see that you are alive, kicking and well. Actually, according your photo above, you still looks like a fucking youngster. ;p
And aside from the fact that I'm probably one of those who still sucks. Let me tell you that I have upvoted your post at 100% of my super almighty vote so you have enough RC to read my shit with the report on your question of the pay to play approach and that you can reply to this comment too. And if you just do all this, I bet there won't be any need to "convince" you of anything. LoL
Cheers!! :)
Thanks for your link, I was just skimming through it and checking who commented and voted on it. :P
Also thanks for the vote here. I will try not to spend it all in one place.
As for being a youngster, I'm 53, which probably still puts me in the upper echelon of old folks around here. By no means the oldest, but definitely up there.
I actually did start reading your post, but I like to finish things, so I came back here to reply here first. We'll see if I have enough RC left to respond over there in due time.
53? You young pup!
Woof!
I'm 66 now...
Maxed out on rolling the dice then :) You'll have to get extra sided D&D dice to keep rolling your age :P
