busy busy busy busy.....with nothing! "life" has us running around to complete all these absolutely necessary tasks to ensure our survival. but "life" is beating in our chests and does not understand paperwork.

so it seems like low Bronze league in #Splinterlands is filled with bots....thousands of bots. unless i'm wrong, i've faced at most 10% real human opponents in the last few days.... but, when faced with new challenges, you learn things. check this sweet anti-Thorns composition i learned from multiple opponents with ZERO cards of their own: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_b627a5c94796b25cec07265841118168 i was rather lucky with the "Healed Out" ruleset nullifying his…

market dumps right in time with the new Moon....let's see if it gets excited again in two weeks.

this is just my sort of thing: a cover of the Seinfeld theme in the style of 'So What' from Miles Davis' Kind of Blue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lApmdT2PllU the cover art, with all its little in-jokes, absolutely sells it.

looks can be deceiving.... i read an article summary yesterday, saying that after the discovery of the "Red Delicious" apple, farmers kept selecting fruits that looked the best, that had the most even dark red color, but these apples lost some of the flavor profile that was found in apples with some aberrant golden patches and striping. eventually, after 100+ years of selecting for fruit-stand presentation, they created a mealy, bland apple. a customer returned a package of…

there are finally enough #Splinterlands players to start draining the DEC rewards pool. you can see the current balance here -> https://game-api.splinterlands.com/players/balances?token_type=DEC&players=$REWARD_POOL i did some informal sampling earlier over the course of 20 minutes, seen in the chart below. definite decline. it had closer to 7 million balance a week ago. so what does this mean? DEC is once again becoming scarce, which will likely drive up its price, which…
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
just over 4 hours from my previous post about the DEC rewards pool -> https://noise.cash/post/19gjvprx and the number went up! it's back to 5.857 million and climbing....below you can see a win i had from 10+ minutes ago earning 3.615 DEC, and a win just now earning 7.482. DEC price hasn't changed much at all, so i'm not quite sure what happened.... and if i haven't completely lost it, i feel like it jumped from 2.85 million to 5.85 in seconds....so they can print DEC…

there is something very satisfying about consolidating a bitcoin wallet. i've kept my noise payout threshold rather low at 20 cents, just so i can gather up my coins every few weeks and smash them all together in whichever arcane address configuration i so desire. lovely. pointless and lovely.
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
i'm not sure the chance on this, i guess it had to happen to someone.... 1st day of the new Rewards cards has been so good to me! currently listed at ~$400, or 71K DEC, but you know i'm not selling. EDIT: market is in flux, down to $300, but again, this is just one metric and not the card's true value. now i'm imagining where i might use this. Camouflage is very interesting, seems best in the last position to maximize attacks before it can be targeted... i can probably rent…
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
i think the Venari cards might be the most impactful for general #Splinterlands gameplay, especially in the Bronze/Silver leagues. i'm disregarding Venari Heatsmith because that's a different sort of card (and an interesting choice by the devs for that). pardon the image below with missing artwork, it's mostly for stat / price reference, from monstermarket.io i'm personally expecting the price to go down before it goes back up, so i can't help but check this page multiple…
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
because i'm momentarily obsessed, more Venari news: someone snapped up a bunch of Wavesmiths, pushing the price to $12. Seedsmith price creeping up, Bone and Crystal relatively stable. there will be some serious buying when whichever high level players decide they want these in their collection. they might be waiting as well....
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
they sure printed a lot of monsters with Flying in this most recent batch of #Splinterlands rewards cards. makes one wonder.... of the 21 cards, 6 have Flying. Gargoya Devil is a good one. i can see him now, shooting Thorny Boy's monsters in the face from Close Range with nary a scratch. lovely. of the 21 cards, only 3 die outright to the 2 damage from the Earthquake ruleset (one of them being Djinn Biljka who is like a rock or something so i'm not sure how that works but…
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
seems like my little corner of the internet is very popular at the moment. i suppose that's great news, but it makes some sites near unusable (sorry noise!). oh well. i made a #Splinterlands renting blunder earlier but i'm telling myself it's okay because i'm making that DEC back renting out my own cards. speaking of which, i rented out my Djinn Biljka for 80 DEC. i don't mind that i could've rented it for more. as it stands, that's like 10-12 Ranked wins worth of DEC. i…

this one goes out to @PopPopPrego in particular: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_213c4979fab9ef7c2dd5e842a2bd8835 i couldn't help but think of you, and i'm wishing i had that miss chance formula. i also realized after starting the battle that i played Parasitic Growth, but i meant to play Feasting Seaweed like my opponent. i think that change would've made the battle go strongly in my favor, but i'll take the scam win regardless. the dance of the Sand Worms is…
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
yep, that's right, it's lerk again with some #Splinterlands DEC Rewards pool information. looks like there was another 2 million or so added to the pool recently. can't say exactly when ( learn 2 program already, lerk ), but looking back through my battle record it seems like there was a bump in rewards 3-4 hours ago. but anyway, this means Ranked wins are worth roughly 40% more than they were earlier today. good stuff! get battling! unless of course you're trying to…
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
i had a heck of a time trying to get noisy the last few days, some my problems some site problems, but now i'm back! i don't have much to say at the moment, but hopefully i'll be able to use the site today and share some of my thoughts. i missed y'all!
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
i had a customer today casually suggest that some of our product outages were due to "socialism" and that it needed to be stopped. this puzzled me, as i work for one of the largest retailers in the US and we loooooove making profit for management and shareholders. examples of product stock inconsistency: we have plenty of Frito-Lay products on the shelf. we don't have any masks in adult sizes. i'm not sure which products this customer was looking for. i'm also not sure…
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
i spend a lot of my days monitoring #Splinterlands things. it's very compelling, and my attention has proven rewarding many times over now. i'm currently evaluating more card purchases to finally clear 15,000 card power and unlock Silver III. Bronze I is proving very competitive, and filled with tuned rental accounts with the meta compositions all in gold foil to maximize return. i don't play that way. i buy cards when they seem affordable to me. i don't want a rental cost…
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
this #Splinterlands card seems really cheap to me at the moment. Axemaster is an Epic Water splinter monster with 2 Ranged attack and the Double strike ability. that means it does 4 damage a round, barring debuffs. it has 4 speed so it often goes first, it generally wins Speed tie-breakers because it is Epic. having a strong Ranged attacker for your splinters is very important. for Water this is especially important, as a lot of your power at lower levels comes from Alric…
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
i ended up buying Kretch, Evangelist, Uraeus, Gargoya Devil and a Fire Spitter yesterday. a bit more DEC than i wanted to spend but i've been eyeing Fire Spitter for a while. if i didn't own Byzantine Kitty, the sweet Legendary Dragon summoner that gives +2 speed, which is absolutely BONKERS, i probably would've skipped the Spitter, as i couldn't play it in Modern, but i can play it now, it's very strong, and i doubt it will lose much value as it is only getting rarer. so i…
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
have you ever thought of buying a Chicken? what about renting one? for your consideration: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_e0c5c05b7cccff7ed4e2c2854f1c0f77 perhaps i should've put the Chicken in first position, but the result is the same. something to think about. this is just ONE use for the zero mana monster.
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
so i'm stacking (small amounts) of NANO.... i want my % of a fully distributed free to transact token. that seems good. i still need to wrap my brain fully around the blockchain structure, and naturally all the major positive sources say nothing of potential drawbacks... but i've heard others mention it positively before, and BANANO is an absurd and lovely thing which speaks to the community involved. a small amount of my time for a slice of something. turned out well so far…
@lerkfrendOnNoiseApp
okay, so this is as mind-blowing as they say: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/588741-super-metroid/faqs/10114 image relevant but not the spoiler you say huh lerk? maybe Matt Gemmell on Twitter can explain it better: https://twitter.com/mattgemmell/status/1441497498573545478 as my dad would say, "form follows function." in this instance, they are tightly wrapped up with each other. this is art. if you think that's an overstatement, sue me. i spent a good portion of my…
