Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hello, Daisy.
Hello, Daisy.
Hello, Mark. Hey Rob, what's up?
Not much. Are you feeling better?
Yeah, I'm still a little sick, but I'm mostly feeling better.
How are you doing?
Oh, I'm actually doing all right. I just got my butt kicked in Hunting Sniper.
It's just a mobile game I've been playing for about three months, and I'm on the last two levels.
Yeah, it gets so mismatched sometimes.
It's like this guy's got a weapon that's far superior to mine.
So it's like...
Hello, hello hello hello hey lovely how are you i'm good how are you i'm good i'm good it is very very very hot here it is
over 40 degrees which is approaching your 100 degrees. Well, you guys are all in snow.
So I send you some warmth and would like some snow back in return.
Yeah, we do Celsius here too, 40 degrees.
I'm going to pass on that.
Yeah, it's bloody hot.
And where the wizard lives, it's actually 47 no 47 almost 50 degrees so i'm just so
glad i'm in melbourne today yeah do you guys like are you guys big on air conditioning right
oh yeah yeah yeah but right now i'm sitting out in my garage but i've got an airflow coming through
because the southerly's just kicked in
so it's it's it's going to be okay we're going to survive oh yeah that's what's up
how is everybody there
apart from being having their asses kicked on a computer game
yeah Rob how are you doing?
I am doing, I'm doing pretty good actually today.
Or I should say this afternoon when I finally woke up.
I didn't go to bed till we had thunderstorms last night.
And so the power was in and out.
So I had to go switch my roommate over from her oxygen concentrator to a large bottle three times last night.
So I was up all night till almost daylight and finally went to sleep and got up about 4.30 this afternoon.
So feeling kind of frisky.
That's how I'm doing.
Well, if you're feeling frisky at midnight, that's a good thing.
And I hope everything is going well with your children because much love.
I don't have any children.
Oh, it was your accident.
It's my roommate.
Oh, the roommate.
The roommate.
Yes, my roommate is disabled.
Oh, you're a good roommate to have.
Yeah, my roommate's disabled, so it's like she's on a cpap and oxygen concentrator
and i'm paying attention to i'm paying attention to the space i just got zero for my first round
of my next hunt
that's all right
uh where's where's my friend alpha dog is he coming this afternoon or is he That's all right.
Where's my friend Alpha Dog?
Is he coming this afternoon or is he sitting somewhere having a beer?
I don't know.
I didn't even invite yet.
I will. I can see Kings and Tricky. I can see lots under boo-boo hey murphy what's up buddy
jam rob good morning oh good morning
jam daisy king and uh star see laU, tricky. Shout out to everyone.
How are you guys doing, Rob?
Daisy, baby Daisy, what's up?
Hi, Murphy.
Hi, how are you?
I'm good, thank you for asking.
Yeah, that's it.
Rob, how are you doing?
I am watching my pad and talking in space at the same time.
So I'm getting ready to kill something.
But first, I want to check in with Kings.
He just got him up.
What's up, Kings? Yo, got him up. What's up, Kings?
Yo, yo, yo, what's happening?
How's everybody doing on this late Wednesday night?
I'm just chilling.
I haven't been feeling the greatest, but, you know, I had to come through, support our brother Rob, as always.
Hello, Kings.
I always put an S on you.
I don't know why.
Just a slip.
How's the future?
How's everything going in the future for us?
The future's looking very hot and very warm, but very good.
and very warm but very good. It's now almost, it's 4.16 in the afternoon Thursday so it's going to be busy, busy, busy because it's so close to Christmas.
Got to do lots of shopping and face all the horrid, horrid, horrid crowds in the shopping centres.
Yeah, I was doing, I've been trying to, I've got a few things I things I got to finish up myself but I'm getting to them slowly
I'm a last-minute girl every year I say I'm not gonna wait till the last minute
no I'm down there at freaking midnight on Christmas Eve
well no it won't be that bad but yeah you know what I mean.
What's up, Tricky Buddha?
How are you today, tonight?
It's Tricky Buddha from Defy Space Donkeys.
What's up, Rob?
How's it going, fam?
Had to get the other account here so I could do some.
I was waiting for that.
It's Tricky Buddha from Defy Space Donkeys.
I always love your intro.
Oh, yeah, man.
It's all about that positivity.
You know the story behind it, right?
Tell me the story.
Let's hear it again. I do know the story, but I want to hear it again.
For the other people who haven't heard it, too.
I'll make it quick. So I was going through Crohn's and I was just hitting like rock bottom.
I was so like super depressed.
Everything sucked.
I got, I was so useless.
I was like, fuck it.
Let's get those double knee surgeries.
I was like, when's it convenient to get double knee surgeries?
So I'm like three people now.
I got new tendons on my quads and they did a full person osteotomy where they cut the bone out.
They rotate it. And then I.
Into an NFT, rather.
And I called it Totally Screwed, because it's got
two screws in it. Anyway.
X keeps rugging you right in the middle
It's been absolutely ridiculous the last two days it's just been in and out
she this man that dropped him down came into a round trip
and he's back it's tricky buddha from d5 space donkey
It's Tricky Buddha from DeFi Space Donkey!
Man, you still can't hear you.
I can hear him.
He's dropped again it says he's a listener on my end
it's saying
now it shows
he's gone Thanks, Faye, for the name. Now it shows you're gone.
La Boo Boo, how are you?
I already asked you that once, didn't I? Huh. Hello, DJ and Queen. huh hello dj and queen
well i guess i should go sure uh uh invite me to chat there we go and let's go up there we go
right there and he should pop in anytime now
who are you inviting who's coming through
Who's coming through?
I let Sarchi come in and we get to talk with her.
And Dan, I didn't send Alpha the invite when I first started space.
I figured we'll get around the room before we get Alpha in here
because we might not get anywhere after that.
Good old alpha dogs
yeah I love alpha dogs
I was talking to him the other day because
him and his wife had some
good news come through
on some business stuff that they
were working towards
I'm inviting Tricky and Weed God back
yeah I invited Tricky back up too.
What's going on, Soul Collector, DJ Queen Mark, Joni, what's going on,
DB, Daisy, Murphy, LaBubu.
How's everybody doing?
Happy Wednesday.
It's midweek.
I know it's been a bloodbath today, but you got to take advantage of those days.
My AFTs didn't get hurt a bit.
They're still in my wallet.
They didn't get a bloodbath.
They're soaking up the rays, waiting for the green candles.
I think we're still about 20.
Let me see.
Yeah, 20 minutes away from the reveal.
Go men aggrieved.
Yeah, I still can't post nothing to the Jumbotron.
Have at it, Kings.
That shit's crazy. Oh, Rob, Rob crazy rob rob rob okay i couldn't either but i was
looking at it today and i have to scroll all the way over to the like pretty much very end like
after it like wants you to send it to telegram and, and email it to people and every other fucking app in the world.
It is at the end of that.
It says X post at the very end of it.
That's what it tells me.
are you sure you're looking at the same thing?
What kind of phone do you,
when I go,
I got an Android.
Well, yeah.
And when I hit share and it goes share via,
usually it would be at the top of the list where you have your DMs.
Well, it's not there anymore.
They took it away from there.
So when you go and you click on the share, click this again,
and go there
no no here we go share i click the share and if i go share via it pops up to list
and that's weird yeah i can't help you with that yeah so it's like people keep saying it's at the
end so i go there and i click share and i go all the way to the end and it says x post and when i
clicked on that last time it told me i needed to reinstall x now i don't know what it's going to Go get an apple.
Craig followed everybody in here.
Hello, Craig.
I'd like to say, first of all, if you're having a rough day, you're welcome here. No pressure to be smart, loud or interesting.
You can just sit, listen and breathe for a second.
Ready to count.
I want you to start simply because a lot of people think science, especially nanotechnology,
is about clever or technical.
Tell me that's not cake boo-boo.
At its core, it's about curiosity.
Please do not insult me and let me finish.
I am La Boo Boo.
At its core, it's about curiosity, about asking, what actually changes when we look closer?
Nanoscience is really just study of scale.
When you think or shrink things down far enough,
the world behaves differently.
You can't even not laugh at yourself.
DZ, I've got a question for you.
No, no, no.
I was not laughing.
That was my little turtle
tickling me.
Just different forces
we ignore in daily.
Life suddenly dominates.
Surface matter
more than the mass.
Interactions matter, Daisy.
I will co-host with you, sir, but please, I don't take payment.
I do this out of the love of nanoscience.
I am a new hire for senior quantum nanomaterial strategies,
chief officer of all things we will fix later at Glitchcraft Studio.
Please join our Discord.
That's where nanotechnology
comes in. It's not
about tiny mechanics
or buzzwords.
It's about learning how to work
with these new rules instead of
fighting. You do not fight
them. Don't fight.
I feel like I have to get my alt
account now.
Get rid of the...
Before we continue, can I ask a question?
Well, the randomness isn't
annoying. I would love to ask a question real fast
before we continue with the
biomechanics or whatever this guy's
talking about. DZ, are you there?
Yeah, I'm here.
Was that guy being a dick earlier or am I tripping?
Was I tripping?
No, he was definitely a dick.
Was he taking jabs and was he being fucking condescending?
Yeah, no, he was an asshole for sure.
Just wanted to make sure that I was not in the wrong when I said that guy was a fucking asshole.
No, and that's always a red flag for me too so I
left at the right time then when I left to come get ready for my space because I needed 15 minutes
yeah I'm glad I did then because yeah that guy was starting to get off the rails in my opinion
when I left yeah I mean like I get it like I fucking I've dealt with Craig more times than I would love
to admit um I understand that he's one frustrating ass motherfucker but like if you're going to be
a face of a project you need to learn to kind of just roll with the punches and take that shit and you know just
serve it back with a fucking smile like that's just what you have to do otherwise you don't
look like a great person and nobody wants to buy a project and your project looks like a
fucking scam 100 million tokens 15 million market cap launched locked for two years but not locked
because we can otc it and
then whoever the fuck buys it can sell it this guy is an idiot uh but and then name dropping i know
this guy and this guy and all these people are on my fuck you and those people um all right i just
wanted to make sure now i'm gonna go fucking ruin somebody's space i don't want to ruin you guys so
have fun right on craig enjoy i always love it when you pick somebody's
projects apart.
Because you do it with such tact.
Then you troll the fuck
out of them.
Daisy, did you
get attacked by an asshole?
didn't really partake in the
conversation, to be honest.
Other than telling him that his deflection question was a red flag, which he very promptly ignored and moved on to trying to bully the men in the space.
Oh, that would have been successful, quite clearly.
Yeah, he just ignored Daisy 100%.
I heard it straight up.
That's a deflection question.
It's a red flag. What's a red flag?
A deflection question.
And Nick asked him
the question again in a different way
and then he still deflected it.
Alright, alright. Quick
If you're here just to be an asshole that's fine every system has noise but this space isn't built around it we're here to talk
think and change ideas not perform insecurity out of loud smelly stuff stuff. If you disagree, ask a real question. If you're confused,
say that. Say it.
If you're not interested,
you're free to leave. You can go.
Take it and go.
We actually, it's funny you say that.
You sound like Yoda to me
over here in Australia. What is this Yoda?
I am Labubu or Babu
I am Labubu or Babu?
we actually
had somebody fudding our space
earlier but like
they like stayed in the space
so I like went to the comments
and I was like I mean like you don't have
and they still stayed and still like fudded people
on stage i'm like okay i mean i guess all the power to you but like if you really don't like
it like piss off yeah like you don't gotta be here man like i don't know nobody's holding a
gun to your fucking head dude i bet you they do it with a fake account. Because they do not have... No, no, no. I know exactly who it was.
It was not his fake account, actually.
Wow, credit.
Yeah, I mean, like, good for him for...
I mean, yeah, not talking shit on an alt, I guess.
But, yeah, it was just kind of dumb.
Here is something for your day, Daisy.
Let's talk about Daisy for a moment.
Daisy reminds me that not everything meaningful has to be loved.
Optimized or consistently improving.
A Daisy grows where it can.
It doesn't complete with the whole field.
No competing.
It doesn't try to be rare or impressive.
It just responds to its conditions and does the thought very well.
From a system perspective, that's actually powerful.
Simple structures are often that the most silent a daisy survives because it's adoptable, not because it is complex.
It doesn't need perfect soil. No soil, perfect weather or attention. It just needs enough.
There is nothing more important in nature. Stability does not come from force.
It comes from balance.
The daisy dominates.
Environment.
It fits into.
And that's why it lasts.
That's beautiful, Boo Boo.
That is absolutely beautiful.
And so true.
I am la Boo Boo.
Sorry, la Boo Boo. I got it wrong.
Boo Boo is the CEO.
La Boo Boo.
What's your position at the company?
You can check my bio and please read it out loud to everyone.
I had a laugh when I read your bio I have to say It says senior quantum
Nanomaterials
Strategist
Chief officer of
Things will fix later
Yeah you get the point
Okay sorry
Alien Overlord has
Their hand up, though.
It's Tricky Boothuk from D5 Space Donkeys.
What is this donkey?
I thought that's what it was going to be, but I wasn't sure.
I heard two donkeys?
I got scared.
A donkey was not a good experience
well yeah i mean you know you don't want to go to tijuana but they are helpful for other things
um yeah yeah leave that there uh so i was gonna finish that story real quick before i have to go
i gotta make some food for my wife. It's getting late.
So I was feeling like shit. I was stuck at home, recovering from like my surgeries and whatever, and trying to get a diagnosis for Crohn's disease, which, well, just a diagnosis,
but eventually they figured it out. And I was playing Call of Duty and Call of Duty can get
really toxic in multiplayer. Like you kill someone and they're just cussing you out and you get
really good. You're going to get cussed out like 30 times in a game, right, it's fucking insane, so, after, like, got to
that point, I was like, I gotta change this vibe somehow, so, I had, like, a stupid joke, load,
loaded, like, ready to go, like, just locked and loaded, soon as my friends got killed, or someone
with the mic went live in any way, I blurted it out, like, oh, your mom joke, or whatever,
usually something stupid and immature, but, like, not angry, you know what I mean, like it out like, oh, your mom joke or whatever. It's usually something stupid and immature, but like not angry.
You know what I mean?
Like very positive.
And then I got on social media right around the same time that I CTOed the DeFi Space Donkeys to make it a club and also one hour of my time.
And when I did that and got online, I was like, okay, everyone's got their own thing.
How am I going like be recognizable and like
getting these things to like lock and like okay well i have to use defy space donkeys more um
and the next day i get on the other game and someone dies and i just go defy space donkeys
and my my team was like what the hell is that and i got the same reaction i was going for right like
we all cracked up and i I was like, this is
it. This is like my monster. Like, this is how I opened a room. This is, I say this before I speak
in a room, before I do anything like that's the opening to like reset my brain and kind of inject
that positivity so I can do what I need to do. And it ended up being brilliant marketing. Like
everybody knows my intro. If I put on a little twist or turn on it, everyone knows that company too now.
So I sell spots in my intro and stuff.
It's actually kind of wild.
But yeah, so that's where it came from.
It came from making people laugh in Call of Duty
to avoid toxicity.
And yeah, now it's making other people happy
from all around the world.
I made a post about it.
I actually hacked into the Matrix
and uploaded my audio file. So that way, when you see it just in text format, it plays in your brain.
You'll hear my voice. You know what nanoscale physics reminds me of? A donkey and Call of Duty.
Yeah, sounds random, but it's actually fantastic. logistics think a donkey stubborn correct donkey stubborn
you can't force it you push hard it just stands there like baja no but no moment no movement
it understands the terrain balance and it fears you have to adjust conditions. Suddenly the donkey moves. Smooth.
That's exactly how nanoscale systems behave.
Same with Call of Duty.
New players run fast.
Shoot everything.
Full aggression.
Full aggro.
Zero awareness.
Zero thinking.
Delete in two seconds.
Delete it.
Gone. Good players slow down.
Read the map.
Understand angles. angles timing and logistics
they don't fight the game they play it it's mechanics nanotechnology works the same way you design quince you know and you can make the game however you want right like everyone else is
playing a running gun shooter.
I'm setting up booby traps around my sniper friend and just owning anybody who comes in that area.
Understand the donkey.
Understand the game.
Everything becomes fantastic.
And I picked the donkey because when I made this collection for my buddy, he just wanted to sell NFTs.
He's literally just going to sell art.
So we picked the donkey because there's no donkeys in the blockchain we're like the first donkey on the blockchain
and it's silly it's kind of fun but they're like reliable like sure we'll go with donkeys like it
was really just like a goofy decision right but mainly we don't want to be sit like going on
anyone else's coattails i want to be able to say like yeah i made this synonymous with crypto it
did not like it was already going and
i just tagged along right like donkeys didn't have anything to do before i came here now there's uh
soul donkeys lost donkeys defy donkeys space donkeys and golden donkeys and
a board donkey yacht club so i'm this official i'm the new ape
hell yeah I'm bullish
It was fun. I liked that. He did
pay for like a month. He just ghosted me. So I just like
took the whole thing over. Just CTO'd it immediately
and kind of hooked it to
my business. So it's like I'm the first tokenized
personal advisor now as well.
So that's cool. Another first.
I've also made up three or four words
in blockchain.
Fantastic.
So the space donkey
is someone who won't get off drugs.
So a DeFi space donkey is someone who won't
get off the blockchain, right? That makes sense.
And a lot of us are docs,
but if you don't know my face or my name,
maybe I'm just bloxed, like documented on the blockchain, but if you don't know my face or my name, maybe I'm just blocks,
like documented on the blockchain, transactions, you know, immutable NFTs, soul bound tokens,
stuff like that. You could put your ID or your, you know, your GED or, you know, whatever degrees
or certificates you have of, you know, to prove of who you are. So that's blocks, B-L-O-X-X-E-D.
And then when I was trolling uh elon trying to
get more impressions i was uh commenting on all the spacex stuff because i love rockets and they're
they're pretty like frequent posts um and i realized i was saying it was one thing i was like
gonna write uh does this make anyone else hard and i was like deleted that i was like no i shouldn't
say that it's a little bit maybe that's like overstepping a little bit. And I was like, well, there's gotta be a word that means that,
right? And I could just use that word instead. Um, and there wasn't one. I searched everywhere.
There wasn't, I've got a lot of bad answers, but I searched everywhere and there was no word
for that. So I made it up. Elongate filiac. So filiac is like the love of and elongate it's it's very on point when you think about it
so if you get sexually excited by rockets you're an elongate filiac
and then i made up also ddm it's like edm but so my question um tricky is did elon respond to that
no well you still to keep trolling, buddy.
I'll still try.
I mean, the cool thing is if you Google it, one of my alts comes up.
So, like, it tells you.
Because I'm the only one that has the definition.
Like, it has to go to my page, you know?
Well, there's a $10,000 bounty out.
If anybody could get Elon Musk to mention
Squid Grow in a post.
Maybe I can force it.
This has been going
on for three years
for this bounty and nobody's
collected it yet.
Even Squiddy Meme who was born to
kill Squid Grow is still trolling trying
to get him i i haven't done it for a while but i was trolling him trying to get him to mention it
so it's yeah it's one of those fun things it's hard to get elon to notice something or mention
something but once he does then all eyes are on you for at least a week.
I mean, that's a goal for every project is to get Elon to follow you because you know that's going to push you out in the algo better.
Like, that's probably worth like a thousand per follow.
You know what I mean?
And then, yeah, it's a DDM I'm making.
It's a digital derived music.
It's basically using your cookies and your preferences on websites and like which music you like on like Spotify or whatever.
And it creates AI music tailored to you and your friends, where you're going, what hobbies you have.
And also it's the time of the day and what mood you should be in.
So if it's like it notices you're sad, it can make uplifting music.
It notices you're tired, makes upbeat music.
You know, maybe at the end of the day, it just plays like rain sounds or whatever it is.
So you are part of the Talonborn, correct?
I mean, yes, I know.
I'm part of everything, so I probably have influence, but I'm not officially part of the Talonborn. Well, you need to come join the Talonborn, the Dead Ducks community.
Join our Discord.
Join the Talonborn faction we're getting ready
for an ai music battle we could use you as part of that yeah absolutely i'm i'm uh doing a lot
more stuff now that i'm also going to events so yeah lots of i can get lots of coverage on it for
sure let's go cool i will uh make sure i get you the link to our discord and you got to go
into the choose your faction and when you do you got to scroll up to the the post with the three
buttons and click the Talonborn once you do that then you can go down and you can if you don't
hold a dead duck you can generate a duck for the Talonborn and put the Talonborn ring around it and post it as well.
Yeah, I'll delete another Discord I'm in and get out and just get into your guys.
I've got too many assets, so I can't be in everybody's Discord.
I've always got 100 on there.
But I think I'm part of like i'm honestly part of like probably like
like 250 projects when i got that thing in in zao chela down in miami we had three communities
come together to to organize this event alongside art basil uh and then i said well i'll go around
and i'll market for you guys and you know just because uh the leader is a member of the club
zol he's pretty cool so i'll go around like kind of market tell people about the event um and i'll get partners and we
ended up with 53 different communities joining up just having the partners and all the teams there
it looked like the event was packed so we had a line out the door like like 60 people in miami
that the locals had showed up and they're just hearing our music and they,
and they couldn't come in.
It was pretty funny.
And since,
since this space is about NFTs and you have NFTs,
we've got Daisy,
who's the artist for the peanut protocol NFTs.
Kings has got the greedy eights on East.
They're on minting out on OpenSea.
We're 20 mints away from revealing the collection.
I just gave away a Kushling at 75 mints.
At 100 mints, Ryan's given away a Kushling.
The Metamuses gave away a Metamuse at 69 mints.
Yeah, and there's two half-Eath bounties for the collection.
Two of the apes.
And we will reveal those two apes after reveal on which ones will have the bounties on them.
Wait, what number is Metamuse on?
Metamuse got them in Talmudny.
Metamuse, Mint 69, they gave away a Metamuse. But there's also a bounty on the Metamuse on? Metamuse got a mint how many? Metamuse, mint 69,
they gave away a Metamuse, but there's also
a bounty on the Metamuses too.
69. Alright.
If it reaches 88,
I'll give a PP away.
That's Daisy's art.
Thanks, man. We're 8 minutes away from giving away a team of protocol
that's awesome but you touched on something right there for you kind of like you briefly said it i
don't think when it realized like the founders in the room might not have realized by having those
those mint bounties and stuff like that and not telling the winner until the end dude you're
going to get so much more traction and so many more people checking back and interested and then
you know like yeah you might not because or else it's like okay well i didn't get the first one
you know maybe i'll get the second one but if it's like every time they check in they can like
maybe see like how many they've got how many chances they've got and like oh you definitely
kind of gamify it more i love that idea yeah
they're two minute bounties we're going to reveal the apes but we're not going to reveal what
that number they are we're going to reveal what they look like if people are going to like numbers
of how many how many tickets you have like for everyone you you meet right you have that's one
ticket so it would just tell you like you've got two tickets and these are the bounties that are
still open but they're all the bounties would and these are the bounties that are still open.
But all the bounties would be open.
All the main bounties are still open.
The one bounties are still open.
The two east bounties are still open.
I get what you're saying.
I'm saying it's a good idea.
But there's 4,444 in the collection, and we're revealing it after a hundred minutes the collection and and
we were and it's all it's all basically i told things and we discussed this and we discussed a
lot of things and people were going we got to wait till christmas before we get to see and it's
getting closer and closer to christmas it may be Christmas Day by the time we met 100.
There's only 20 minutes away.
But in eight minutes from the Greedy Apes,
LaBubu's giving away a peanut protocol.
So Ryan's giving away a Kushleen at 100 minutes,
one of our other
Greedy 8 community members
And then there's
A whole list of bounties
If you could post
The bounty list up in the Jumbotron
So they could see the list of the 101 bounties
Yeah, I got you
A little shout out to Vinny down there Some hacker stole his original account Yeah, but I got you.
A little shout out to Vinny down there.
Some hackers stole his original account.
But fuck him, we'll still all follow Vinny anyway.
So yeah, give Vinny a follow.
He's good people.
Maybe he'll come up here too. He's from Australia.
Vinny, come on.
Vinnie, hi.
Hey, Star.
How are you?
Same old, same old.
Sick, but making it true.
Same positive.
Where are you? In Oz.
Orlando, Florida.
Orlando, Florida.
Who's the Australian I heard mentioned?
Sorry, I've been more than in my garden Vinny X down there
He's got the only one with a red X in his name
And he's got long and beautiful hair
She's a hair model
Oh, I can see that
The real Vinny, please stand up
We did this one time
We were putting Vinny's hair on everyone's PFPs.
That was pretty funny.
That would be funny.
I'm going to make some bacon, but start.
I've been meaning to catch up and talk about doing a space or something like that.
It's just been madness this last couple weeks.
Spices have been crazy.
I got sponsored to go down to Miami again.
But it wasn't as good as the New York trip where I got to give away like 10 grand in tokens and 2 grand in merch.
That shit was amazing.
You would have felt like Santa Claus.
I'm like the weed Santa Claus when I go to those events.
It's crazy.
I got all kinds of edibles and stuff.
I had three grand of edibles to just give away.
I've ordered some edibles.
I've ordered some edibles for my Christmas present from the dispensary today.
I'm picking them up on Monday.
Did you get the whole event loaded $3,000 of vitamins given away?
It really fucked things up, actually.
Because we didn't sell shit for alcohol,
and we would have gotten part of that money.
So that was dumb when I thought about it.
Put that on the list of the dumb things we do.
I mean, it was lit, lit though people were so tore up it was great i mean there were some people i thought they were legit
having a stroke because i hadn't met them in person before and they just ate too many edibles
i would have had a blast there give me more right i mean i'm a cannabis advocate through and through always about medical cannabis
from the beginning uh and that event really was like i fucking made it we got 53 different
projects here and the cheech and chong project my homies in dreamland is a sponsor
i made it, man. This is great.
That's really good. You can't do better than Chase and Chong in Wade
circles, really.
I mean, they're the original legends,
aren't they?
They are. They're legends.
Comedic legends that started out
as an advocate of marijuana
way back in the
Up in the Jumbotron now
Is that post
That shows all the bounties
For the one-on-ones by the partner project
Awesome, I'll bookmark it
And give it a retweet for you too
We're organically minting them out um we have a mint space usually
daily or or a space one of us are given a space or in a space where we talk about it
every day and the mints are going slow but steady and that's how we like it. Slow and steady.
And you get to really know your community better that way, in a way, right?
Especially with my project.
I would not want to sell it out because I want to know everybody who's in the club.
That's how I can actually provide the utility of being an ambassador and finding the little, you know, what network you need to be connected with.
So, yeah, that's awesome.
You can get to know each person a little bit slower.
And, yeah, those hype projects that mint out everything overnight and then disappear in two weeks, not what I'm interested in.
I think I just robbed.
Doing it right.
I think we're all here still.
They're on the next screen, probably hitting comments or something.
I got the...
I'm trying to get this little girl to fall asleep.
She's fighting it, though.
Rob's probably hitting a dab hit or something.
No, no, I hit the mute button.
I didn't know I was muted.
I was talking.
That, that, that, that, that.
But, no, yeah, we've been talking with Glitchcraft Studios to get the NFTs into the game,
we've been talking with Glitchcraft Studios
to get the NFTs into the game,
into their Haven Fall game,
which is their flagship,
which is going to be launching here pretty soon
after the beta is done with it,
which that's coming pretty soon.
So I'm excited.
I keep following Boo Boo.
And tomorrow, I guess, is episode four.
They're going to announce a winner
for the Riddle contest from the Discord for Glitchcraft and the post on X.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that I gave the correct answer before everybody else did, but we'll find out tomorrow during the space.
What was your answer?
What was your answer?
Well, if anybody was paying attention and been in spaces, they shared some alpha that there's going to be a early adopters lifetime all access game pass that gets us into the first four games and any beta that comes up prior to release, we get access to prior to the release of the game.
You actually get access to testing the games
while it's being tested and through the development process.
So you get to experience the whole change,
which is sometimes more nicer than playing the game
because I experienced it a few times.
And as a gamer
myself i was like oh wow it is nice because you see the development process and you see how things
interface changes movement mechanics playability graphics interactions some stuff then when you
play it again you're like oh you pay attention to the things that change and you just start
oh yeah you know enjoying it more and more. So yeah, it takes
you through that. And as well, getting
freebies, like
better tier stuff than people getting
for free. They get rare stuff
and in-game tokens, you know.
A lot of good stuff coming down
the pike for Glitchcraft Studios
in the gaming industry.
And I'm excited to be an old gamer like me and go back into my type of realm and world.
Yeah, Haven Fall is... I'm excited.
Got any more pictures or any kind of video or anything for it?
Yeah, I can. Do you mind if I put it up there?
Go ahead. Put it up in the Jumbotron.
Midnight Squid Talk
is where I
started this space for Squid Grow community
members for a place where we can come talk about
other projects and where we can get
to know each other.
I've had two Squid Grow community members
in the space tonight.
I think I got another one who just showed up in here that's part of the Squid Grove community.
But, you know, that's just the way the nature of the beast is.
But I'm still here to connect people with genuine people in my space.
So anytime I talk about a project, you're more than welcome to post it to
the jumbotron if you got a valid nft project you're more than welcome to the jumbotron because
we are talking about nfts and gaming and that's what it's about and squid grow
yeah i put haven fallen as well range brothers you can see a dundee armor and like my soul gods nfts are in
there those are those are actually my soul gods uh nfts and range brother that's a first person
shooter game not first person shout out to daisy for going toe to toe with me and onboarding me
to a different faction because she went and it's right yeah i put a few videos for haven fall the
dragon video changed completely,
the mechanics and how it flies.
That was one of the first versions, actually,
of like, you know, the dragon,
how it flies and the mechanics and everything.
Yeah, I'll put the pass here.
Definitely join the Discord and RX community.
We did the riddles and stuff like there before we say it in public,
just to give the community some cool stuff ahead of time.
And I know there's a lot of different time zones, so people can't catch it.
But yeah, Rob got to be in that riddle and all the riddles before.
I think people are liking them.
them but yeah we do announce a few things as well and I grit that dragon
But yeah, we do announce a few things as well.
video has gotten better better since the last time I seen it oh no now it's
completely change boy you're gonna be surprised by it man oh I bet I am mm-hmm oh yeah there's a space today as well yeah if you guys want to join that uh it's actually about how
we benefit other projects and communities and businesses so definitely check it out if not you
can't make it completely understand it's recorded i'm gonna try to speak about it in the beginning
of the space so if everyone that you know wants to go back and listen to it yeah i'm gonna try to speak about it in the beginning of the space
so if everyone that you know wants to go back and listen to it yeah i'm gonna try to keep in the
first 30 minutes just speak about that i know a lot of founders or project leads or ctos would
love to hear that and you know you never know it might benefit them and this might be something
uh lucrative and beneficial for their project right because now there's utilities are adding in different ways
You can do an LLC and all that
But I'll keep that to the space not the space with all respect already kind of spanned the jumbotron. Sorry about that, bro
Oh, no, no, you didn't spam it. I like that
There's a lot of good info up there about Glitchcraft and the games,
and I like that because you know how I feel.
I'm an old-school MMORPG gamer from the days of the launch of the beta of EverQuest
to the launch of every MMO that came out up to World of Warcraft
and several of its expansions before I had a house fire and lost my gaming computer.
Honestly, shout out to you, man.
You really motivated me and you really made me happy.
Hearing someone like you,
especially someone I care and love and has morals.
Once people get to know you and know who you are and what you do,
I think it's really hard to hate you as a person, right?
People might misunderstand you here and there.
But once I saw how the genuine reaction you started having for us and supporting us, don't think it doesn't go unnoticed as well.
And then you're very vocal about it, which means a lot.
Then you telling me, by the way, way i stopped gaming i want to come back i want to get a pc back again just because i want to play one
game of yours right exactly that means a lot because actually that brought me back to pc 10
years ago it was one guy called frankie on pc i just moved back from london this guy barely puts videos right now on youtube and this guy used
to play armor 3 rust uh whatever you want like miscreated daisy a lot of cool games and role
playing games and i was like yo i want to play this man i want to play this and it got me back
into pc i stopped console games for a while while i went
and got my pc still have it till this day and the guy stopped videoing and it shows how much of an
impact guys have when he comes back after four seven months and he posted something people go
crazy in the comments he has such a cult following and actually shout out to him you know he actually
inspired me of making like
yeah you know my name no for do for booboo on pc and putting the videos and stuff that i streamed
or that i did parts and stuff which is are funny quite sometimes to watch you know especially in
role playing and stuff like that so hearing you say that that meant a lot like oh wow uh that
really means a lot and i don't like to talk a lot i like more action than you know
talking you have a special gift you know you do have a special gift from glitchcraft for me
personally uh down the line so you never know might be down might be tomorrow might be tonight
now, might be tomorrow,
might be tonight, it might be after
it might be after a year
My guy, I appreciate that so much
because one of the things I
want to do since I've seen
Havenfall in the videos
is I want to become a
MMO streamer. I want to start
streaming Havenfall on
That is my goal.
So that's because when I get immersed into a game like that,
it takes up all my time.
And so why not stream it?
You start getting streams and stuff like that, good streams,
we'll pay you, bro.
you know right now we're like i'm very transparent in this you know uh we our revenue model right now
We'll pay you.
You know, right now, like, I'm very transparent in this.
is from developing games for other projects because we're not selling anything internally
from our games microtransaction zero right everything we did this for free putting projects
in and all that moving forward we're gonna have an ecosystem
and give rare stuff to people that want to buy our packs in that pack you can get a dragon a car a
skin a character blah blah blah a few add-ons here and there and then because you bought that pack you
get free stuff in the fighting game the card game the racing game the first shooter game the
strategy game the whatever the fuck you want a game to be, right?
Literally giving you free stuff,
showing you that, hey, man,
we appreciate you even spending 10, 20, 100, whatever, right?
And us, we're giving you something back, showing you and building an ecosystem throughout it.
Now, once that revenue and streamline starts kicking in
from our games and ecosystem,
bro, we're definitely sponsoring uh the youth
parental advice i already know a few parents uh that when their kids are playing i know these
parents have been spending three to four k usd a year on their kids uh games and micro transactions
right and they and we want to like you know improve that save them money as
well the parents pay the kids make them invest imagine a kid getting in this and then starting
knowing oh we're paying him in eth or soul or fractions of bitcoin whatever you want right
that money is going to be after a year or two years something more valuable to them a lot right
they want to spend it it's up to them we're not holding it we'll try to educate them and their parents this is what you need to do for your kid right now right if you
want them to spend something in a game let them spend 20 of that money keep the alien invested
if they're 13 14 by the time they're 17 18 imagine what bitcoin ethereum solar is going to be i'm not
going to send them any fucking meme tokens um fucking meme tokens um legit stuff they can take it
or usd it if they want if they want dollars fiat money we'll send that right but we want to educate
as well the kids and let them especially me being a gamer let them know like hey man uh you can make
money out of this you can sell this stuff not each year buy the same game pay same transactions
and when the game is over the next year another version is coming out.
You don't move anything with you.
So all that money you spend there,
$500, $600, is gone forever, right?
And then they take down the server after a year.
So you're losing a lot of money.
Imagine how many games you bought a year.
So that could be $5,000, $6,000, man.
There's a lot of money.
$2,000, $1,000, invested in all games. 6k man you never there's a lot of money to 1k i paid a hundred i paid 149 dollars for a uh
expansion because i wanted to buy the expansion with the collectibles and everything so i paid
149 for the for the whole expansion which if you just bought the expansion itself it was like 39.99
but but that also gave me three months of sony game pass
with it and so forth so on but then i always paid 50 49.99 a month for the full sony game
pass because i played five of their games and so i understand exactly what you're talking about how
these parents spend all this money a year and i'm sorry to interrupt you the kids will learn that
oh wait me as a gamer i can move this character
with me next year or use it in another game or i can sell it oh i can make money next year with it
the price went down fuck it at least i got the price let's say went down right it went bro 20
down let's say for he bought it with that it went 20 at least you're getting fucking 20 back
there you don't get anything at least you can have something
else in another game maybe more valuable right maybe one item you get there it will make you a
lot of money and you're like oh shit wait a second that that item i didn't care about is making money
in that game under glitchcraft right so now they're getting educated how to spend their gaming money
right the unfortunate thing with studio games it's about games they don't care about the gamer it's about games if they do we would have sought so many
games happening from ea sports and epic and uh activision and you'd be fucking soft that would
have been great they destroyed those franchises right uh so that's just the given it's a business bro it's about games we get it but we're
trying to educate the gamers the people the parents right if you're a parent out there and you're
spending xml on your games hey come to glitchcraft all our games are free even to play you don't on
mobile or on laptop future wise on consoles so they don't have to they can tell their kids hey
you're playing all these fucking games right now on their website you're not downloading anything you're not paying play it till you're bored you
have one month in each game at least then come back to me when you want to buy a game right then
come back and then imagine we start dropping an ecosystem and they buy an nft pack for 50 60 bucks
and then they get free stuff in other games tell them oh look i got you these
micro transaction these characters do you like them or whatnot no they don't fucking sell them
play the other game oh it's child friendly no i want to play the shooter game i want to play the
card game i want to play the racing game so we have a lot of different games as well you know
in the background which is very good it gives people more options gives them more like all right
i don't have to get
stuck in one game which people do it's fine but we're trying to give a buck for their money right
even for their penny how many games you have right now bro right now actually active games
we have 15 active games some of them are in test version some of them first version haven
falls the flagship so it's going some of them first version haven falls the
flagship so it's going to be the first version released the beginning of this year maybe end of
the month you never know but beginning of the year i'm kind of gonna like we don't want to rush it
and i know people get chaotic between the years and stuff and businesses financially and a lot
of stuff so people think it's a great time but sometimes it's not there's a lot of stuff you have to do in-house costs and so yeah you know you know you don't want and you don't want to
release when call of duty just came out you know and not really bro honestly i'm that's not like
honestly i don't care about that stuff i don't care if the market is fucking red or green we're
doing it we're doing it we're building something it doesn't matter as our competition we're in the
studio right bro epic games that did uh gears of war did uh fortnite unknown tournament danny bro
co-hosted with us i co-hosted with him we glitchcraft co-hosted with epic games epic games is
fucking inspiring to me bro i have their gears of war figurines till now in the boxes could open
a video camera with you and show it to you right so to me seeing a studio like that in the late
90s from 10 to 20 team like us right now we're eight they were 10 to 20 did unknown tournament
then fucking did gears of war gears of war sorry i can't call my tongue and it just went through
the moon did gears of war two, boom, Fortnite for free.
And everyone knows the story.
Everyone knows Epic Games all of a sudden after Fortnite, right?
So looking at that studio and how they were and how they are and all that, I inspire, you know.
But we always keep true to our beliefs that community is driven, right?
I'm a gamer i know
all the stuff gets pushed by gamers they are your investors they are your consumers they are the
customer service that i have to care about you know so people like rob anyone that comes and
tells us feedbacks and stuff we listen to them man even if they're fat beef feedbacks you know
aesthetica from launch my ft uh he's a 3d artist he's like bro one of your
characters running like has something up his ass we're like well yeah he's right he's wearing a
suit a robot suit right he's like that's fucking genius bro you actually made the characters run
like that and other characters run differently yeah fucking that's hard work for you because
3d people don't understand the rendering and rigging and all that stuff and then you have coding and the bugs and messes it's not a joke man so shout out to michael
the co-founder and cto he's the lead dev he does a lot of great work for us right
and yeah man a lot of games we have we have a game like sea of thieves coming out i don't know
if anyone is a fan of that we have something like that in the back cooking uh havenfall is our open world mmo explorer
where you can do a lot of stuff pvp pve as well then we have like a card game with the nudies
if you're familiar with the nudies we're doing their card games imagine having those rare nudie
special nudies i've been seeing the background i can't speak uh wow they are beautiful uh imagine
having them as your PFP as well.
You can wear them and play them in a card game.
You know, a few card games we have people want.
We can sell them physical and AR.
They can come augmented reality.
You know, people love that stuff.
We did the Quakey game for Quakey.
Shout out to Quakey.
I know they're a meme token NFT.
They have a lot of utilities. We did their games
because they wanted a child frenzy game.
It's on our websites as well,
you know. So yeah, man.
Yeah, I know that whole
crew over there. Absolutely.
Amazing people. I would love to get 55 Space Donkeys
and a couple of the other projects within the club
into that game as well, or any game, really.
And also, seeing like
some of those classics in there
would be pretty cool probably get them for free you know well i'll send you my whatsapp number
because my dms are a mess and king yeah i'll send you my whatsapp number bro definitely because we
are actually i've known your project for years but when i was running the deboneers i remember
when started again so i remember you way back uh the community and all that you know and you you guys stood you know the communities that stood after years after crypto
fell a few times right not just one time a few times crypto crashes nft is going to crash
automatically it's a given right so the projects that stays and uh went through the ups and downs and were transparent and survived,
we definitely want to bring them in, right?
We have more than one way to do it.
We give the service.
Some people want to be exclusive.
They want to own the whole IP rights of their game.
They want to cater to a game for their community, their liking.
they're liking we do that right whatever you want we do that and we did that already when it comes to
We do that, right?
Whatever you want, we do that.
We did that already.
no we just want to be a part of one of your games or in your game as a character and stuff like that
cool we do that and we're not going to send you to the gulag tell you invest in a staking platform
and wait there and then we approve and then the game is still not playable and then you might play
it and then your community is dead
by that time right i'm sorry but we don't do that fuckery i see it happening around we will put your
characters in the games that you want we can do like an agreement selling it i told that to king
and rob like with their apes we can do a pack a special pack for them so it has their skins their
characters their weapons whatever they want stuff that we can put
to tailor around their project and then guess what their community and other communities are
going to start minting that regardless knowing who it is or not knowing right liking the art
liking this stuff and then boom you're onboarding people there's their logo banner in there decide
getting to know what's happening so it's kind of uh uh like brand marketing what do you
call it the shelf the things in the background you know uh uh product placement and stuff like
that which people don't know because we don't stop a game you don't watch no ads none of that
we're not ruining the experience fucking no bro i'll take the hit financially where he did
then ruining the experience so having that is nicer imagine walking
around in a town and then you see a shop that sells food and it's uh greedy apes you know
and the bananas are expensive because they're greedy apes now it's the dublin
syndrome oh it's that nft project you smart you see their logo you see their ape selling
you know then you see a character of theirs playing
around stuff like that then it's like hidden in there you know it's genius actually because it's
like in the game right uh it's not like hey pause this is sponsored by tricky buddha welcome to
havenfall even though that's dope right but you don't want to ruin the experience right
but definitely you can use your voice in some of our games, definitely.
Yeah, that's awesome.
I'm liking it, man. I want to
get into a couple different things. I need a 3D
render, though, that I can
3D print and also use in the games.
You know, it's got to be
everything. So we, if you remember
the debonair apes, Dion,
the artist, he's the 3D artist.
He worked with Nicki Minaj, but he's heavy.
He's doing this.
I'll tell you guys.
It's a small space.
He's doing this a short movie, right?
20 minute movie.
Takes a lot to render.
We just invested in the 490, the NVIDIA, and that bad boy made our life fucking much better.
We used to render one of those apes would take two, three days or a week sometimes.
Now it takes five, ten minutes.
So, if you're looking for, like, arts and stuff like that, genius 3D artists,
I can send you a few of, I can't say it here, bro.
I can show you some stuff in the background that are animal-likes 3D
that when you look at it, you're like, what the fuck, boo-boo?
I'm on a project right now.
The guy's good, bro.
The guy's really good, honestly.
But definitely putting characters in our games, easy.
Don't worry about that.
We're very transparent about it.
We show you how the modeling are.
If you don't like it, we can go for a freelancer, someoneancer someone of your liking as well right so it's something to your tailoring and we can rig and render in our
game coded and everything right might take more time because you know 3d artist sometimes takes a
day sometimes good sometimes you know you never know and it's really fucking toxic, bro. It's like rendering and rigging is not nice, guys.
And I learned a lot through our project and with Dion and seeing 3D and then running a studio game.
So, yeah, that stuff is not easy.
Shout out to the people in 3D, man.
Fucking hell.
But, yeah.
Yeah, no kidding.
Shout out to the 3D artists because that shit, I agree, Boo Boo.
That shit is fucking...
You either can do it or you fucking can't.
It's that simple.
I learned that.
One of the riddles.
Remember one of the riddles?
One of the riddles was about the 3D, you know?
About Aesthetica launched by NFT.
Aesthetica was a guy that got us bad barters to make his game.
I put a riddle in discord
index community you know what does aesthetic has to do go read the riddles genius and then people
read it three three dimensions you know layers you know like there's a few links if you read that
you would know it's 3d yeah you have to like if you're a gamer um you have and you start like you know what it's like to uh
rig and dimensions it's all about dimensions yeah that makes all the difference because if you don't
know how to do that stuff or have an experience with it then you're yeah you end up with the
character that may not move fluid or something like that so yeah for environment wise and stuff
we have our mai that's our own in-house built ai that michael the genius built can't say
there's an nd we do as well give it a service for uh uh humanitarian services uh droids and
surveillance humanitarian again but i can't speak about it because there's an nd you gotta go read
exactly what we can talk about there's a short video we're gonna put out as well it's for rescue missions so they actually
used michael's shout out to him the co-founder and cto lead developer of glitchcraft used his uh
mi m ai technology right which is ai uh and and i did finance, undergrad, two masters.
I'm CEO of this bitch.
The motherfucker saved me so much cost because we have that.
You do not understand.
At least 30 to 40K USD.
At least saved me.
And you're telling me how?
Well, I should have had the team of five you know in development
you know that thing made it a team of one in the beginning so imagine the cost even if hiring a
freelancer a 3d artist freelancer right even hiring an interface you you you you i've got
right just the interface just the fucking interface what you're seeing on X just that you know the interface, you know
Lot of stuff
Like the cost of that stuff in the background is that saved us a lot a lot of money, you know
So we do give that service out for people like in but we don't do it with glitch craft yet
but it saves cost man when
it comes to development building coding 3d more projects like that's more communities that's more
eyes on that's that's a huge thing yeah it's actually marketing in range brother or map you
can see the logo of it m-a-i in the background that's a hidden eastern egg might do a riddle
about in the future but people kind of heard michael talk about it here there he doesn't talk a lot he's a builder but it saved us
cost so imagine the environment right the scale of some of the environments bro instead of rigging
everything a mountain a tree the grass everything we can switch it up with that uh module in like
a few minutes right which saves us so much time so much cost shows what we want
what we don't want it's not the ai you think like hey go do me this and that and it's gonna go
render you an image or a video no it's something completely different you know uh so yeah shout
out to him bro for building that because financially it saved us cost for an indie studio
as well you gotta bear
in mind so we will give it out you know we're gonna try to give it to people that use it and
similar stuff for free in the beginning you know just the people that we support save them cost
just to give them like hey man it's like giving even the glitchcraft team i always say to people
like you know raw people like if they need help from the team from me I don't call them team their family definitely we would help you know it goes with the
nudies Dundee soul gods you know even you guys if you need help in the
background definitely would help you you know the team is in your disposal and I
would like that as well with our MII technology because it would save a lot
of companies and small businesses money at start
at least right in the future hey man they make money they love us they are members they want
to throw us something as a gift buy us tea or coffee or some cookies we will never say no but
we will not charge them for that in the beginning you know till it's something no charge but tips
tips are on yeah you know hey bro i i model in a way where sometimes people do you something free, but I keep that in mind and I try to come back in the future and give them something, right?
Support financially, whatever it is.
That's how I move.
I don't, I see ecotistic or talk about me me me that but i did two masters
boys to educate people give lectures in web 3 in our discord for free right if i can educate and
help people from my experience my advice great bro let me do that right for free charge bro right
uh then some guy went in our space went ape shit crazy these guys are not listening you're helping them you should charge him you should fucking charge him i was like whoa whoa
relax bro he's like fuck these people you've been here every day you're telling them you're spitting
blood your throat hurts you're talking to them they're not listening to you fuck these guys i
was like bro relax i appreciate you yo yo relax it's like no no no no fuck them fuck them bro the
one guy with apeshit till this day I remember it, like,
as vivid, you know, in my
head. And then he DM'd me, you know,
and I appreciate it. And then I thought about it. I was like, actually
he's smart. You know, the people that want to get
to the stuff, we can do private classes
for them in the background and help them out.
So he actually gave me a genius idea.
But he gave it in the wrong way, man.
That's true. That's why i have multiples like tiers
for everything i got a free option you're always gonna have a free option and then you got like a
like a premium that where it comes with you know more abilities or more you know help yeah and you
can just price it that way that way you definitely get them in the door all right off the get you
know with the free thing yeah that's smart we definitely got to talk about more i love it um
man i sent you my whatsapp number just message me there, you know, and yeah, I'm more active their exes of mass
You know, definitely there we can connect anytime if you need anything as well
Did you ever get paid to play video games?
So I I'm 37 man turning 38. I was unfortunately in the area
Yeah, I'm fortunately in the era man where
they did not like you know uh pay us for that shit right and especially where i lived in
the middle east saudi arabia i told you like games were kind of gaming studios were non-existing
there's no esports so you can't go to a place even a pizza shop there's those coffee shops you play right so everything
was in-house and then the online did not exist like till 2000 let's say four five six 2010 fiber
optics started happening not everywhere in here some areas then boom it boomed right but i was
ranked in the top 100 in fifa 2010 i had the belts in my fight night uh ea fight night 2010 I had the belts in fight night, EA fight night 2010.
I had the South American and North American belt,
which I had to go online and defend them.
I was ranked in what else?
There was another fucking game that I forgot.
But anyways, they banned me a few days because of something in my bio,
and I couldn't defend them, got stripped.
But I was ranked heavily in a few games here and there.
I was admin in a few servers as well. i don't know if you know eve online i was part of that stuff
uh eve online has been there before bitcoin crazy world um and even if i don't know if you know arc
evolves like i was in the space cowboys uh guild which people fucking hate like it's a huge clan we go destroy everything you own
built in months like make people cry actually go raiding raiding their servers and stuff like that
but yeah so i was a hardcore gamer never got paid to stream and do that stuff i did it for free
because i told you that demand was not there there was it was non-existent basically for us here yeah the market now i'm 41 change right completely
change yeah i'm 41 but i got paid to play in like 96 oh you're lucky bro fuck me bro i was beating
people in mortal combat in arcade bro my brother came up to me that was one of the most proudest
stuff my older brother looked at me he's like bro what are you doing i was bro people were lining up to play me he left he came back i i waited in line
came to the guy he was beating everyone bro he was like 17 18 and bro i beat the shit out of him
bro he came back so angry he didn't leave he was like no i'm playing again everyone was cuing
in the 90s you can't do that you'll get your ass kicked bro people were scared of him they didn't leave he was like no i'm playing again everyone was cuing in the 90s you can't do
that you'll get your ass kicked bro people were scared of him they didn't move or flinch and i
was there i was like 99 8 right and my brother is like three years older than me so he's like 13
14 but my brother shout out to him bro got like some german and some arab jeans he's huge bro he's
a big guy big guy big show style right bro literally the guy didn't
beat his ass again bro bro he hit the fucking machine i was like is this guy gonna hit me
then my brother came saw me beat everyone saw me beat him and like was like yo you lost you got a
waiting queue that's it you played them three times he's like who the fuck are you it's like
i'm his brother he wanted to fight my brother, right? Then my brother friends came. Another guy came.
His friends came.
And, bro, shit was on, right?
And, bro, ever since that day, I remember leaving the car.
My brother looked at me.
He's like, bro, if anyone messes with you, bro, you come to me.
I felt so proud.
I was like, bro, I kicked that guy's ass so bad.
And I look so cool in front of my brother's friends right now going back home.
Guess what, bro?
We go back home.
They put Pro Evolution, right?
And they're like, yeah, let's play it.
And then I beat them.
And then they're like, oh, we'll play Madden on 64, right?
It wasn't Madden.
It was Blitz.
I don't think it was called.
Was it called NFL Blitz?
It was just Blitz anyways.
And, bro, I was smoking them, getting unleashed on them bro but yeah bro it
was nice and one of my brother's friends like just went and turned off the playstation we were
playing pro revolution which is like winning 11 fifa but another version konami and bro i remember
like oh shit i am triggering people in a young age i didn't realize that till i grew up so yeah
i was always still on but calm down obviously i've realized
that i realized that i was like my friends were just getting really upset that i i was not losing
ever so i started throwing games just acting like they were better because i was losing friends
oh yeah yeah you have to do that you know you have to but i got paid to play 007 gold
oh you remember by the way i have my Nintendo 64 i still have this uh uh what's it called 007 Goldeneye. Oh, bro. You remember Technobo? By the way, I have my Nintendo 64. I still have this, what's it called, 007 in the cartridge.
I have my NES actually system intact, bro.
You remember Technobo for the 64?
Yeah, you got to play the Cs with the C and the Golden Gun, bro,
and just move with the Cs right and left, right and left,
sway them and hit them with the Golden Gun.
One shot, gone, bro.
You get that gun, it's game on.
Bro, yeah, that is Super Smash. I used is super slow that grenade launcher you lose family and friends super smash and double o's
that was seven was cool but super smash is like he had another type of abuse man i would take the
cartridge home and and unlock all the there's two columns of cheat codes on the back page with like
there was maybe a room for like one or two more oh remember game shark you gotta put that game shark that fucking small memory card to get the code i
did do that too i was flying around games that you wouldn't you didn't have the ability to fly
but i was flying yeah my friends didn't like that either but no i legit beat that game though it
took me about like 23 or 5 minutes or less to run through the entire thing on 007 mode and get the
extra thing so you could unlock two columns yeah nobody believed me so i've made like 300 bucks
that year just just doing that so there was in um wrestlemania wrestlemania on the 64 right
there was when you can create and customize your characters, which was fucking dope. Imagine.
Shout out to the cartridges, bro.
Literally, you can pick like the Rocks theme, the Rock song.
Do you smell what the Rock is cooking?
The Rock says the old version, right?
Not the 90s one, right?
And if you keep that song playing for more than I think a minute and something, by accident, I found the Easter egg and he starts cussing.
He starts going, he's cussing, you know, and not a lot of people realize there was an Easter egg there.
I figured out because I was in the background while I'm creating the guy and I'm doing it.
My cousin was talking to me and I was like, I love this song.
So I was just playing it and then boom it hit you know and i was like what the
you know yeah yeah yeah i didn't know it was an easter egg i started listening people and then in the future when people understood the word called easter egg i saw it in a video and i
remembered it and i was like oh wow what a dope easter egg were you into like zombies getting those easter eggs and stuff oh bro
mad bro mad do you ever play far cry the shangri-la bro did you ever play i love it do you
ever play far cry any of the games of far cry yeah oh i got all so one of them when you go back you
start the game he's trying to bury his dad's ashes and it was the famous actor the great actor i
forgot who was playing the evil guy and you go to the island you're there you want
to bury his ashes they kidnap you put you in a room and they just leave the dining table something
commotions happens they leave you in the dining table and you can start playing the game uh what
everyone does is get up looks around and just runs most 99 of people just get up and run don't even
look around i like to look around see see any Easter eggs and stuff like that.
And if I get caught, whatever, you know, I would like to try that stuff.
I like to play the games different versions.
Anyways, if you actually stay there for 15 minutes, guess what happens?
They walk back to you.
They're like, oh, you're here?
Oh, didn't run.
So I guess he's a good guy.
They take you to the spot where you wanted to bury the ashes of your dad.
Let you bury it.
Game over.
Easter egg motherfuckers, you finish the game
in 15 minutes
fastest beat ever
remember the map Shangri-La for zombies?
yeah, of course bro
I was ranked 42 in the world
from my 8 hour game
you were definitely doing a glitch
nope, no glitch
completely legit bro
nobody believed it, it was me and my buddy who
ended up at the end we started off with four people but two of them like they weren't gonna
last eight hours uh but i remember towards the end like level like 73 holding an entire horde
behind me so my buddy can drive down the street and get cigarettes it was not he's like oh i really
didn't think you'd be playing still it's been late man we should probably go and i'm like yeah
like let's just hit this next level,
and then we'll stop.
But if you took a gun off the wall,
it took like two guns with all the ammo to kill one zombie.
Yeah, bro, it takes hours, bro.
When it reaches that point, it is gone, bro.
I remember the map with George Romero,
the director of like the zombie movies.
Yeah, it's like a ship.
And then there's like a lighthouse That was one of my
We could go forever about this
Let's see what Star has to say first
I just want Kings to check his DM
I'm trying to mint
And I'm having difficulties
That doesn't surprise me Starsseed she said what's what's happened here what's happened here
what's happened here is like um starseed started her crypto venture with me and now i've taught
her everything i could possibly teach her about the physical Side of it not like you know she's like so much
Further ahead of me with the you know
The mindset of it because I'm too busy
Getting bloody rugged and in the
So like but what
She's doing is
Like just being the most
Awesome witch you're ever gonna
Sort of have but is an
Technological defect That's where I Which you're ever going to sort of have But is an Absolute technological
That's where I used to help
So she used to be good with this
And I'm good with that
And we're such a good deal
It's like that wizard and witch
That unity is like universal
It's foretold in the stars
We're called wizards
Yeah So yeah If you need help Or told in the stars Like you know We're called Yeah
If you need help
I'll help you
Do whatever you need to do
Because you know
I love you
I DM'd you back
We're all reaching for the stars
But I think Starseed is one of those
Ones that's
Here to help guide us there
Because we both
We're both crazy
As fucking bats
You've got no idea how
Well that's why I'm the mad crypto wizard
you know um but
you know she's just so
fucking good at it and I'm on such a high
at the moment so yeah
and thank you for the props like
King seriously man that touched my heart you're
not the first person
that actually um did
that and I've been um
out of spaces and off things doing my own shit in my head
um for quite a while um after a few disasters um that hit me physically mentally spiritually
um you know and having four kids as well you know sort of yeah it's like that such a hard balance
Such a hard balance
But you know and that's where
I've sort of gone away and
I've sort of you know
Edging my way back in so this is why
I haven't you know dropped in and said
Hello for quite a while King
You know and but
Thank you for all those people that have actually
If any of them are in here
Apart from Kings that have had said
To start the scene you know How's Wizard County Thank you Especially if any of them are in here, apart from Kings, that have had said to stuck a seed.
You know, how's Wizard coming?
It's good to hear your voice again, Wizard.
It's been a while.
Glad to see you back.
No, no, no.
Thank you, man.
Thank you, man.
I'm glad to hear you back here too.
Well, you know, sometimes we just Need to you know take a little
As the technical retard that I am
Yeah that's fine
And that's why I needed
To come back I'm not doing this for me
I'm doing this for Starseed because together
We are just so much better
You know and let's
Fucking grow seriously the whole lot of us
Absolutely But I'm on to all sorts you know, and let's fucking grow, seriously, the whole lot of us.
Absolutely.
But I'm on to all sorts of stuff these days and, you know, you know, you know, me, King, you know, it's always,
I'm always doing something that I truly believe is for the greater good.
So I know this isn't a shill space, but, you know, check your profile.
I'll follow everyone here.
If you'd like to follow me back, let's fucking grow
because that's what we're doing here.
MC Wizard got to shut up after a couple of drinks
and a very productive 48 hours in crypto.
So I'm fucking peaking right now that's i'm perking but you
know yeah yeah we'll talk about that was wizard uh was web3 wizard for a long time
yeah yeah i remember you i remember you with my wizard yeah i was gonna do that um make another
persona because i wanted mc wizard to be like my personal page and
then web3 wizard to be sort of like a raid page a different sort of thing that i get out and do more
and but um yeah you took it um and that's okay i've found other things like yeah yeah yeah you
know my favorite my favorite you're you're one of the reasons i now have like i now raid with like pump panda 420 like pump and 420 he's the man seriously if i can pumps it and it's just fun
i'm just how i'm just trying to have fun with crypto again and that's what it is um because i
know that you know having it's fun and and with that energy um energy attracts energy so I'm trying to promote
promote abundance
And I haven't been around because I didn't feel that vibe and that energy so I didn't want to put that shit on you guys
But now that I'm feeling all fucking I'm super Steve again
Let's let's let's fucking go, you know
Well, I will because I know I know you know
I don't want to be around and be a you know
Say fucking sacks and be very negative, you know about shit, you know, it's that I don't want to be around and be Say fucking sacks and be
Very negative, you know, about shit
You know, it's more for fuck off coin
We'll talk about that another time too
There's something happening with fuck off
Everyone knows about fuck off coin
Yeah, fuck off coins
Going to re-release
In mid-January
Late January
And it's going to be a controlled controlled
thing so i'll show up now yep you let the cat out of the bag there is
yeah no it's yeah well it's why you know that's why i'd stay away sometimes because hey i talk
too much and i talk a lot and i have to know that I'm in the right place to do it.
It's time to tell the whole world to fuck off, really.
Yeah, it really is.
And not just to fuck off.
It's just time.
It's an empowerment thing.
It's an empowerment thing.
We all need that, you know, we all need the power to tell the establishment
to fuck off.
Our sovereignty is at stake
and let's empower ourselves
and that's what I'm trying to create is Forbes
but we're re-releasing
and I'm building up a vast network
and everyone's included, included you guys.
This is like, you know, know everyone like i've been on
this for two years and met good people i'm trying bringing all of the good people in and we're going
to do something really special that is going to make a lot of fundamental things and i know i've
been talking about that for a long time and that's how you know I'm for real. Because I've been saying the same shit. I know you've been saying it for a while.
But let's have this in a different space.
We were on a different vibe into gaming.
And not into coins today.
That's why.
That's why I said for someone else to start talking.
It's there for someone else to start talking
And that bloody didn't
And they bloody didn't.
I could probably
I'll go over and see if we're doing
That doesn't matter
I just wanted to connect
And yeah much love
And NFTs, I don't know much about NFTs
Now like the pictures I think that's kind of funny But I know And NFTs, NFTs, I don't know much about NFTs now, not the pictures.
I think that's kind of funny.
But I know that NFTs for the future are going to be something
extremely special.
And I'm talking like deeds for properties, contracts.
It's now, yeah, now it's just a small thing.
It's going to go, everyone needs to know what NFTs are.
Yeah, I just like to tell them. It's a receipt for anything.
You can literally put anything on the blockchain
and the receipt is an NFT.
It could be a picture of it or it could actually be art.
And it can't be altered. It can't be changed. It can't be doctored.
And the nice thing about
some of the NFTs like the one of the 101s in the Greedy Ape collection is going to actually receive the painting that I did for the background of the Greedy Ape, whoever mentioned it.
I love that painting.
I showed the wizard that painting.
Yeah, awesome. I can't even comprehend how that works. I got offered an NFT the other day, but I have to pay the
Yes, that's awesome.
I can't even comprehend how that works.
Gatsby, you know, the other to make the fee
I don't know what that is, but you know, I'll see how that goes
But yeah, I'm an NFT virgin still so
I think I'd be a little bit of the king's inevitable rather than yours in terms of minting my nft
yeah uh if i go off on an nft tangent geez i can't add nfts to everything else i'm trying to
bloody do that we need to jump off and let them talk about their games because
about their games because
we're taking over the days as usual.
we're taking over the days as usual
I want to mix them.
No, I might jump out
because I'm on a high, but it's good to connect.
Thanks for coming.
I'm glad to see you're back.
No, that's all right.
I love yous. I love yous. I love yous.
Leave yous, but I won't leave
without saying fuck off.
Have a good day.
Stay real. Stay real, guys.
See you later.
Fuck off, Wiz.
Anything Web3 related at all, and we get on
side tangents too.
That's what I said. i'm jumping in here but
i don't think it's a show space i love you guys oh oh i want to do this again but the
fucking star scene said hey he's having a space come in so i did you know
This is the opposite of what you're trying to do.
Oh, fucking Al Gumball.
I love that.
Love is over.
I'm making this NFT.
Basically, one of the words I made is data-derived music.
So imagine you make one of these songs.
AI makes the song based off of all your data, whatever you've connected.
And then if you like it, if it's a banger, you can mint it and you get part of the royalties.
So if it's replayed on any of the main streaming services or if all your friends are like, yeah, that was great.
Or maybe it's so bad you think it's funny and you mint that one and give it to all your friends.
There's a lot of things you can do with it.
you can do with it. I love the idea, though,
I love the idea, though, of NFT ownership for everything.
of NFT ownership for everything.
What NFT project
are you really in, like, the most right now?
Or what's your, like, your top five?
My top five?
Dead Ducks.
Yeah, I have two Dead Ducks,
but plus I'm in the Faction Wars
for the Dead Ducks Collective. I was in the Faction Wars for the Dead Ducks Collective.
I was in the last Faction War, did not participate that much.
I ended up getting another Dead Duck for my participation, and I ended up getting paid $23 in ETH for my participation, and I didn't expect any of that.
So now I'm really deep into this Faction War.
It's like, you ain't keeping me
out like last time. You're going to have to fight me for the top. It's like, yeah, it was all
unexpected. And so it's like, yeah, I'm participating more on this one. And when we went into the
faction wars, I think we were at less than 30% minted out and now after the last drop for all
the people who could who participated got dropped the duck we're at 60 percent minted out for the
dead ducks collective um there's some uh there's a merch store tone has a bunch of other stuff stuff coming down the the conveyor belt or coming to us as rewards for the community and this has
been one of the best community building things that I've seen where you get to really know who
your community member fellow community members are and get to know each other and network at same time so i i think it's really cool um i um hold four of the um kushlings i had seven i
mentioned seven of them or six of them um keith gave me one and um i gave three away
um uh on boarded somebody's the k Kushlings who bought me another mutant Archie ape and gifted me.
So real recognizes real.
So I onboarded him to the Kushlings.
I onboarded Kings to the Kushlings because he was dealing with his mom during the mint.
And the mint minted out.
Well, he was busy with his mom in the hospital.
So I gifted him one.
Then I just gave one away for the 75th
Mint of the Greedy Apes.
I onboarded three people into the
Cushlings. That's awesome. Hell yeah.
I don't have a Cushling yet,
but he is part of
the DeFi Space Donkeys Club.
Keith? Yeah, Keith.
I know he is.
Also, I have five of the Peanut, yep. I know he is. Also, I have
five of the peanut protocols.
eight of these nuts.
I've got two silver, two gold,
two diamond,
and I hold two ruby nuts,
which I have staked.
Then I have
three hip- hop punks.
I believe it is right now.
and then I have,
a doodle genetics.
I have some pretty good clips.
Everything you said,
except for the dead ducks.
That's the only thing I don't have right now.
I did have a G's on eight and I did have a kid called beast.
And because I was suspended
on my SSI and was forced
to live on my crypto bag
and my crypto bag got down to where
I couldn't live on it I had to sell my
G's on Ape
and my Kid Called Beast
but I did not
have to sell my Kid Called Beast
on the open market
I knew somebody that wanted it so I sent it to a good home.
And I got just above floor price, just enough to pay my bills for the month.
And that was perfect.
And that's all I wanted.
And that went to Tone from the Dead Duck Collective.
Yeah, I know Tone.
Sometimes you just got to do what you need to do
To survive, Rob
I don't feel guilty about it at all
I had to do it to survive
Yeah, I've done the same
I've done the same
But I'm real about it
See, I didn't just go floor anything
I went back to the board ape community
And the G's ape community
And told them, hey, I have to sell my G's on
ape to survive.
You guys want to buy it.
I floored it because they didn't buy it.
It is what it is sometimes.
You got to do that. I mean, I don't
self-shame anybody, but I tell other
founders, you don't want to do that.
The thing is, you never know like the person's situation is and you self-shame them you just
fucking burnt that bridge when they've already been accustomed a repeat customer is the easiest
customer to get and you just fuck them off like what are you doing well she that's customer service
101 if you've ever been in it it's like you look after them.
Make them feel welcome.
Somebody asked me. A customer might be a dollar, but cost to retain an old customer might be like 10 cents, you know, when it comes to like marketing purposes.
Well, Danielle from the RGH said, Bob, what are you doing?
You're on disability.
You minted at six cookies?
I said, yeah, at 38 bucks a piece
basically I said I took
all my non-moving tokens the ones that
were just slowly decreasing in value
I sold them all off
that's why I minted so many Kushlings
I'm doing something different
because I know the value in the
Kushlings the one I'm sporting right now
under my dead ducks ring
is in the top 15%.
It's an epic
in rarity.
That was one of my
last three mints.
Yeah, I can't
get as much stuff as I used to.
I basically
spend part of the proceeds from
the club goes into buying more NFTs from people in the club, so.
You know, I mean, if I get money, it's off of a coin or from being advising for, you know, different brands.
That's it.
If I bought these, because I know the value, because they're going to be used on the other side.
They're going to be used in, the NFTs are being used in G-Coy in the arena.
So people will be able to take their NFT and use it on the other side
and go into the G-Coy arena.
So I bought the extras because I know the value in them.
And when the floor is above $300, I'll drop one of the common ones on the floor because i know the floor bottle pick it
up i um usually if i buy like a multiples in a collection i'll have like my favorite or the
lowest like the highest ranking one i'll put that one like in my pot in my cold storage or whatever
and the other ones i'll list for like uh like four times and ten times and then like 20 times the floor price.
So if they do ever sell, I know I can go back and sweep the floor hardcore, you know?
Well, see, the whole reason I figured I could drop one at the floor price when the floor hits above $300,
because I know when ETH goes up, the price will go back up.
And when ETH goes back up, then I'll just go sweep one off the floor.
Because I know the floor price will come down.
It always does.
Yeah, I mean, NFTs will eventually detach from their underlying chain once we have more continuity and connectivity.
Because it'll be more about the utility and what value it adds instead of simply the blockchain. When you think about it, it really doesn't make sense for these
things to be pegged to the blockchain, even the blockchain that they're on, because it doesn't
affect, it doesn't really affect that value the same. You know what I mean?
Yeah, just because the NFT is attached, just because the NFT is focused on a blockchain,
okay, that's your receipt that you own that NFT.
That should entitle you to take that JPEG and use that JPEG anywhere in Web3.
Anywhere, period, right?
What's up, Star?
Yeah, because you own it.
Yeah, you own that particular item then once you've minted it.
Yeah, some of them come with rights to use commercially
and some don't but generally that's the idea is that you own the rights to it so you can
make it for your business put it on marketing make whatever but i see stars got her hand up i don't
i see that too hey i just wanted to say i need to jump out of here. And I just also, the Wiz, you've also got to know for the Wizard,
it is 47 degrees where he is now and that is in Celsius,
so that is well over 100 degrees for you.
It is so stinking hot up in the bush.
And to hear him on here, it was a shock for me.
So welcome back, Wiz.
But I need to actually jump out and give him a call.
So love you all.
And I'm going to, once I get out of here, once I get a bit cooled down,
work on minting this bloody, my NFT.
I'm going to get my greedy ape Tonight, today
You do what you got to do
We'll see you later
And we will catch up at another time
In another space, greedy Buddha
I'm too greedy Buddha
I'm just mixture
I need a beer

I'm going to.
All right, guys.
I will see you in spaces.
Try to cool off down under.
Thank you very much.
Much love.
Starseed out.
When you guys are bored, you got to Google your name and then ask AI who you are and then do it for me as well.
It's really funny if you google me or ask
ai who tricky buddha is it's really it's really i'm gonna do that but once i've managed to
not be distracted and actually meet my greedy ape
i'm easily easily distracted ask the wizard anytime all right guys i've got to get out of here i love you bye
now i've got to find my phone's locked me out of course bye
what's up sorry bye duality on there what up jack maxYo, Lightning. How's everyone doing? I got to actually get...
Yeah, Lightning for games.
What's up, Ne-Yo?
Good to see you, buddy.
Yeah, I guess we'll just wrap it up, man.
It's been a great space.
I'm glad you stopped in after going to the Talonborn space with LeBron Gaines and D&D.
Because LeBron is the general and D&D is the commander.
And she asked me if I wanted to be one of the lieutenants.
And so she's going to announce that when she's ready.
I told her I would be more than happy to be.
definitely get in our discord,
go and choose Talonborn as your faction,
generate you one of those starter ducks and a ring that says,
and put your starter duck in one of the Talonborn rings and just post it
in the chat
because the 24 hour
contest to change it
or put the ring around your
thing to get 10 points is over with
but I think if you post it
we'll still get 10 points for a recruit
and so forth. Cool.
I'll check that out. I'm going to give you some
breakfast. I got some baking all cooked and ready
to go. Yep, and then
I'll explain the game, or you can come into
one of our spaces, and we'll explain the
game to you, and you'll get added to the chat once
you join the
Talonborn. You'll get added to the X
chat as well. D&D will get you added.
Sounds good.
Have a great day, fam.
Yep, you too. Alright, guys. We're going to call you a great day fam yep you too
alright guys we're going to call you a great
space thanks for showing up
thanks for being part of the
Midnight Squid Talk and all these other
wonderful NFT communities
