May 3, 22: Routine, Grades, Planning, Oculus, TV, and Games

[Got caught up again chatting on Discord…this time about Rising Star and the implications of the “new” rules they’re making players sign one by one. Going to try and go back and edit today, though.]

Slept fairly well tonight. Made it from nine to six and only about fifteen minutes short according to FitBit. I woke up with work on my mind, though, had grading to do and grades to report.

It is confirmed, Brofund and BroFi are no longer voting me…”spam,” I guess. Can’t say there’s any love lost at this point and I’m hesitating to wish they choke on that donkey d$&@, but I’m not trying to cut my nose off to spite my face. As far as I’m concerned, our relationship has already terminated (by his choices), which is fair enough, but we’re talking about thousands of dollars in the balance.

I usually spend about a minute or two scrolling through my FB feed (not much more), but occasionally I do find something worth noting. Just going to plonk this here, ‘cus it’s awesome:

Woah! Amazing!!! My stated dShitty income has actually changed! 😮 Now, instead of negative thirty-five, which was nonsense, it’s negative eighty-five, which makes even more sense. Also got a robbery, but you can’t get blood from a stone…guess the rando students that spawned are what give me the six I get at all, just dumb.

I did actually remember to go in on Rising Star for a second mission today. Been kinda’ borderline with this one, but I think my decision has been made.

I went in to get my daily photo and was confronted with a T&C. I didn’t mind so much that they were trying to prevent multiple accounts, but the clauses made me very uncomfortable signing away my rights to what are supposed to be my assets:

The other one that bothered me was gifting NFTs…if I own something, I can give it away. I went in to their server to ask about it and the emotional, childish responses I got from the members made my decision for me…this game is not for me. I have no desire to cheat, but I also have no desire to agree to cede control of my assets.

[Actually got so involved in discussing this over in Pizza Discord that I’m late again finishing my post. 😱]

I had school work to do today, so the computer was fired up and right there, so when I got done with all my grading and everything I went in, harvested, and replanted. I did also get 4 BUDS from the Raid, so that’s something.

Now we just wait another week:

Was super late again today before I started on my Splinterlands quest. Luckily, it didn’t go too badly, but I was kinda’ out of steam when it came to starting into the next quest.

Had Dragon for my quest today and got it done still in Gold II. The DEC rewards are just ridiculous (battle rewards as well), so it wasn’t really worth the time, but I did get a couple cards for upgrade fodder:

Claimed and staked my SPS drop for the day and transferred some DEC in game that came from drips somewhere (maybe BRO?) to hopefully help to slow the decline. Between PIZZA and PLN and adding to the THGaming pool, I’ve blasted through my liquid again. Looks like it’s time to transfer some more vouchers out…or maybe dump some BRO. 🤔
