OCD DAILY - Issue #298

Welcome to the 298th issue of @OCD Daily!

Issue #298 highlights content from ten (10) Steem Content Creators! The OCD team continues its search throughout Steem to find you the undervalued gems, as provided by relatively new users.

Today our curators found ten (10) new pieces of original content! We strive to find works that are created by newer Steem users, that may not have the audience with which to share their quality content. @OCD strives to help provide that audience and intends to showcase Steem users who put in the extra effort to create creative, original content.

The @OCD nomination process

A curator will FIND a piece of work (typically from newer users). Within 24 hours that piece has been submitted from the curator to the @OCD team, curator votes are tallied, and the pieces with the most votes are included in the compilation.

We encourage you to visit these blogs and show these great Steemians your support and encouragement.

If you enjoyed their work, give them a Follow or maybe even say Hello!

All of the content chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is universally appreciated and valued by our curators making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day.

Our top nomination of the day is from @ geshasproject

@geshaproject is a new Steemian who shares with us some of the history of the internet in this new post. The internet is a complex thing that we all use... and it's interesting to learn more about its history and how it works! Check it out by visiting the link below:

Our next nomination of the day is from @looserwin

@looserwin shares his improvement on his digital artwork on this post by presenting his old, middle and new art. The author tells the stories behind each piece of artwork and it is interesting to know how and why he came up with these characters. From just learning to trying out different skills on his artwork and then to being able to create more detailed artwork...what comes next? I can’t wait to see more of these very unique characters!

Our next nomination of the day is from @holoz0r

Incredible post about what was an ambitious project of contextualizing the experience of Steemit user into an RPG game ! Well-written, and peppered with very illustrative pictures, this post follows the journey of @holoz0r as he designed, coded, and attempted to turn his charming ideas into the Isle of Steem game. I really had a laugh when instead of ‘attacking’ the character had to ‘flag’ the monsters. You can easily feel the author’s passion and talents as a game maker… and though it has been shelved, the final section of the post gives us a ‘Legacy’ to appreciate (and maybe, for one of us to continue…?).

Our next nomination of the day is from @namiks

@namiks is arguably one of the best movie reviewers in steemit. Not only does he review the plot, the characters but he also reviews the film-making method. And today, he delivers a review on a film titled 'Blue Ruin' by Jeremy Saulnier. It's a movie about classic American Revenge story and if you enjoy watching thriller or a moviebuff, his review is worth every read.

Our next nomination of the day is from @beforeyoupack

Fellow soldiers, please make sure your water guns are full, the Thai New Year celebrations are about to start! @beforeyoupack takes us to Thailand to the Songkran Festival. If you are bored of partying with friends or having a chill dinner with your family for New Years, consider celebrating it with a massive water fight on the streets of Bangkok next year. Worthy of my bucket list :D

Our next nomination of the day is from @devkant79

Is it spring in your part of the world? It is in India! User @devkant79 is capturing the signs of spring while driving his car through a part of North India. He kept his eyes open and captured some if the nature and flowers he encountered. Here "people still live in the proximity of nature and their lives are not affected by the pollution of cities" - and from the looks of it they're lucky to live there. Great post of a part of the world I've not yet been able to visit myself!

Our next nomination of the day is from @highlandwalker

@highlandwalker enjoys sharing with us walking adventures and longer hikes at the highlands of Scotland. This time it is a 11km relaxing hike along Caledonian Cannal which connects the Beauly Firth and Loch Dorfour which enters the famous Loch Ness. Spring is definitely in the air and spills through the bright blooming colours of the nature.

Great curation list here people, well done.

[holoz0r]

Thank you so much for the feature. I've enjoyed responding to everyone's comments on my post, and it is good to see that genuine engagement on Steem is not dead!

[macchiata]

I thought it was dead at first too! but it turned out, I just need to dig deeper, lurking here and there, to find that it isn't.

[roadstories]

Congrats guys :) and good job curators :P

[silentscreamer]
