A little update about what is going on with me ๐ฃ๏ธ๐๏ธIn this video, I wanted to take the time to catch up with you all since I've mainly been posting gaming content for the last several months. I figured it's been a while since you've seen my face and a lot has been going on since my last 3Speak video. I also wanted to take the time to discuss the status of Crypto/Bitcoin/Hive right now. There is still so much potential for it all that has yet to be fully realized.

Thanks for watching and be sure to drop any comments you may have down below, I will get back to everyone.

The future of watching sports at home โน๐พโโ๏ธ๐I often find myself pondering what our future advancements in technology will enable. Recently, this led me to think deeply about the idea of being able to watch sports games in VR or AR. Specifically, watching NBA games with courtside seats without actually having to be there or pay those insane prices for the tickets.
I think this would increase viewership of games in a big way. Imagine the ticket sales. Not only could they still sell out the arena, but they would also be able to charge people who aren't even there, ideally at a reduced cost of course.
NBA League Pass subscriptions would surely skyrocket if they added the ability to watch the game courtside in VR. I know I'd be all over purchasing something like that.
I don't yet own a VR headset, but I have tried one out a couple of times. There are many people in the same boat as me. VR isn't something that's in every house quite yet. It will be eventually though.
The Apple Vision Pro will be the start of sports gaining popularity in the realms of virtual and augmented reality. Everything Apple does turns into a success. Even if it's not a brand new idea they came up with, they often are the ones that propel a new technology to something the average person can start using.
Apple Vision Pro is going to be insanely expensive, but eventually, they will find ways to reduce cost and create a version of the headset that many people can afford to purchase.
In today's video, I wanted to discuss in detail why I think being able to watch NBA games in VR would be a total gamechanger. To me, something like this is inevitable and I hope it comes sooner rather than later.
Drop your thoughts in the comments below to let me know if you would be interested in something like this. If you can think of something to keep this from happening, I'd also like to hear about that. To me, it seems totally possible.

I have a massive collection of basketball jerseys that I wear all of the time. They are my main gym clothes, but I also wear them when out doing normal things often too. Whether the weather is warm and I wear them as a tank top, or if it's cold then I wear them with a long sleeve shirt underneath, I will always be a basketball jersey guy.
Currently my collection has 33 different jerseys. I recently selected 12 jerseys to add to my collection. They won't be here until around Christmas time, as I ordered them from China off of Alibaba again. I get these jerseys for about $15-20 a piece, that's with the cost of shipping added in already. Meanwhile, here in the USA the same jerseys sell for over $100 each at stores. It'd be insane to pay those prices if I didn't have to. Plus, the cheaper they are, the more I can add to my collection.
If you are ever wanting to order some jerseys for yourself, then I will be happy to provide the link to the trusted store that I always order from. This makes my third or fourth order from them. They are always fair, quick to respond to messages, ship my items in a timely manner, and even nice enough to hand write notes thanking me for my purchase. There has also been two times where they included a free item just to thank me for my continued business. I got an awesome Kobe "Black Mamba Edition" Lakers jersey and a black New York Yankees hat both for free. I love these people. I see why they love me too, because I've now spent around $700 ordering jerseys from their store.
Here is the link to their store on Alibaba:

In today's video, I will be showing off the 12 jerseys that I selected. Big thanks to my parents for spoiling me with these as a Christmas gift, I really do appreciate it so much.
I will disucuss why I selected each jersey in the video, plus show some photos of the players wearing the jerseys. There are a several hardwood classics, some 2023 city edition, and a few other ones that I fell in love with.
I've yet to receive my order as it was just placed earlier this week, but they will arrive in time for Christmas and I will be officially wearing them to start the year 2024 out in style.
Enjoy the video and be sure to comment below which of the 12 jerseys are your favorite.

Narrowing down my favorite NBA players ๐๐ I've been watching NBA since I was a child in the 90s. I've always cared far more about NBA than I did NCAA. That is true now more than ever as I feel college play is just not as exciting since there are so many young guys playing pro overseas or in leagues like the G League.
I've grown to love many players throughout the years of watching the NBA. Some for their skill, style, or personality. There are many things that cause me to align with certain players.
In today's video, I wanted to talk about my Top 10 NBA players of all time and explain why I think each guy is so cool. It was hard to make this list, let's just say I could have easily swapped out 8, 9, and 10 for other players. This is the final list I went with though and I hope I didn't forget anybody major that I will later regret not adding to this list. I think the first players to come to mind are the ones that had the most significant impact on me, so the list is pretty solid in my opinion.
I'll have the list written below, but the majority of the content about all the players is in the video, so be sure to watch. Also don't hesitate to comment below with some of your favorite NBA players or guys you love that are on my Top 10 list.
- Gilbert Arenas
- LeBron James
- Stephen Curry
- Shaquille O'Neal
- Jason Williams
- Monta Ellis
- Steven Adams
- Kobe Bryant
- Ja Morant
- Allen Iverson
Thanks for watching the video. Drop a comment below and tell me your favorite NBA player of all-time.

Let's talk clones ๐ซ In today's video, I will be discussing my thoughts on the latest Netflix Original film called "They Cloned Tyrone". Let's just say I think it is one of the best movies that Netflix has put out in a very long time.
"They Cloned Tyrone" is a gripping sci-fi thriller that offers a fresh and innovative take on the concept of cloning and its ethical implications. Set in a not-so-distant future, the film follows the story of three friends who stumble upon a secret government experiment involving human cloning. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they uncover shocking truths about identity, power, and the consequences of tampering with nature. The movie's well-crafted plot keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, constantly questioning the boundaries of science and morality.
What truly sets "They Cloned Tyrone" apart is its stellar cast and performances. The film features a talented ensemble, with each actor bringing depth and authenticity to their characters. Stars like John Boyega, Jamie Foxx, and Teyonah Parris. With a perfect blend of suspense and humor, the chemistry between the lead trio adds an engaging dynamic to the narrative. The audience becomes emotionally invested in their journey, making the film not just a thought-provoking science fiction story but also a captivating exploration of friendship and loyalty.
Director's visionary storytelling and attention to detail also deserve commendation. The visually stunning cinematography and carefully curated soundtrack further enhance the movie-watching experience. "They Cloned Tyrone" succeeds not only as a thrilling sci-fi flick but also as a commentary on the potential consequences of unchecked technological advancements, leaving viewers with lingering questions about the future of humanity and the choices we make today. In conclusion, "They Cloned Tyrone" is an impressive cinematic work that combines thought-provoking themes, exceptional performances, and engaging storytelling, making it a must-watch for both science fiction enthusiasts and casual moviegoers alike.
Comment below what you think about this movie if you have already watched it. If not, I highly recommend you check it out asap.

Who's ready to work for free ๐ฅ๐ I received a big long email from Instacart the other day, as did all shoppers. The title of the email was "Creating new ways to earn", which is ironic considering what was within the email.
In typical corporate fashion, they sprinkled in a bunch of mumbo-jumbo to fool the less intelligent shoppers. Repeating stuff they had said before that we all knew about already, trying to pretend like previous updates were brand new again. I realized right away just how bad of a letter this was for shoppers as a whole. The Instacart Shoppers Subreddit was filled with other shoppers who were equally frustrated.
The most important information in the email was one sentence at the very end. Take a look at it for yourself:
It's the part that says the smallest/quickest batches will have a $4 batch pay. That is reduced from the $7 minimum batch pay that I'm used to, which itself is much less than Instacart used to pay. This means that 50% of the few orders that I have left to accept will now all pay me $3 less. It may not seem like a lot, but it adds up.
At this point, we are fully reliant on customer tips to make this job worthwhile. The $4 batch pay MIGHT cover gas, but it won't help go towards other forms of car maintenance. There will still be many $0 tip orders and people will accept them. You may wonder why, I think it's because they are either totally crazy or completely idiotic. I'm sorry, but I'm not shopping and delivering to somebody for what equals out to be close to no pay at all. Tips will become more important than ever now.
This coincides with the fact that Instacart has continually increased its fees for customers, so fewer people are choosing Instacart for their grocery needs. They've hired way too many people and the increased number of workers and fewer orders is causing people like me to barely be able to earn anything these days.
Do I think Instcart is dying? Sadly, I'd have to say yes. I just do not see how they will be able to sustain through the next few years. All the signs of bleeding profits are right there in front of your face. You'd be crazy to think they weren't forced to lower pay over and over just to stay afloat. It's not looking good for Instcart shoppers. My only hope is that during the fall I finally regain some of my orders and am able to earn a liveable wage.
If it wasn't for Hive, I'd be totally screwed at this point. I remain confident that another crypto bull market will soon be upon us and then it won't matter one bit whether I earn a single dime from Instacart. I look forward to the day of not having to think about money every single day. Until then, the show must go on and we have to adapt to new situations.

All good things come to an end ๐๐๐ฌ The only NBA game that Iโve ever attended in-person was Allen Iverson and the Sixers @ LeBron James and the Cavs. This was many years ago and of course Iverson is no longer in the league. LeBron is soon to join him and retire in the next 3-4 years. An era is coming to an end slowly but surely.
Pretty much all of my favorite players growing up are no longer playing in the NBA. We have guys like Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, James Harden, and a few more who have been playing in the league since I was a young boy who are still going at it. It canโt go on forever though, all of them will eventually retire.
New guys will be the face of the league. Weโve got Giannis and Jokic leading the way right now, but soon itโll be guys like Ja Morant, Zion Williamson, and Victor Wembanyama. Each year we go out with the old and in with the new.
In todayโs video I just felt like reminiscing a bit about some of these older guys who are either out of the league already or soon to retire.
As a kid I never thought Iโd be like my father and other adults who talk about how great guys used to be. Now I fully understand. There are some legends that our younger generation will never know how it was to see these old heads in their prime.
Father time inevitably rules all. Thanks to these players for so much entertainment throughout my life and I look forward to seeing how these younger guys shape up in an ever-changing NBA.
Comment below who your favorite NBA player from the last 20 years is. For me it has got to be Allen Iverson. There are so many other awesome guys who dominated when they played. Let me know who your #1 is.

Some positive changes for NBA rules ๐ โ The NBA started back in 1946. Since then the game has evolved a lot, it's nearly unrecognizable now. Most changes have been for the better, but there have been some bad rules implemented as well.
This offseason there were a few new adjustments made to the rules of an NBA game. I am pleased to announce that both of the two new rules seem very positive to me, things that needed to change in an ever-evolving league.
In today's video, I will be discussing these two new changes and why I think this is a great move for the NBA.
Rule Change #1
This one was absolutely necessary seeing as how bad flopping has gotten in the league. NBA was starting to look like World Cup Soccer in terms of how much flopping there was. Things should change next season now that there is an in-game punishment for that action.
Rule Change #2
In 2019-20 the NBA introduced the coaches challenge. It has been hugely beneficial and requires a lot of tactics to choose when to actually challenge. There was one major issue with the rule these last few years though. Now you will not be penalized when making a successful challenge. No team will ever have more than two coaches' challenges in one game, but the adjustment to the original rule will be something that all coaches rejoice about.
Refs don't make the rules, they enforce them It's starting to look like referees are just going to continue to obtain new powers that allow them to alter the game in big ways. Some might say they are overpowered. It will be hard to say for sure until this next season starts and we begin to see how these two new rules change the way NBA games are played.
Comment below with any thoughts you have about theses new NBA rules. As I said, I support both changes and look forward to the upcoming season.

We all need friends ๐ซ I know a lot of us have migrated towards living a lot of our lives in the digital world. Social media has enabled us to meet any type of person that you can imagine while online. Sometimes close friendships are formed and that is especially true on a platform like Hive where everyone seems to have a mutual friend due to the smaller size of the community.
I recently have started having more people to hang out with in real life again finally. I must say, it's still way better than an online-only friendship. Both can be really good for us, but nothing beats getting to be face-to-face with someone who you call a friend.
There is HiveFest which is the perfect place to meet your online friends for the first time, but not everyone can afford to travel to such a grand event. This means a lot of us are stuck with communicating digitally.
In today's video, I felt the need to discuss the importance of having friends you can actually see in person and not just having all of your friends online. I'm not saying that online friendships are unhealthy, quite the opposite. I mainly just want to urge you to remember that social media should not be replacing real socialization in your life.

Wemby is finally in the NBA ๐๐ซ๐ทโก๏ธ๐บ๐ธ๐ Pretty much any fan of basketball has probably heard of Victor Wembanyama by now. This kid is the most hyped NBA prospect since Zion Williamson and LeBron James. He may not be as explosive as either of those two guys, but Wemby certainly boasts a unique figure with a powerful skill set.
Wemby is 7'3.5" without shoes on. His wingspan is a massive 8 feet. The only downside to this is his weight, which is currently around 230 lbs. He's extremely mobile and skilled with the ball, but some are worried he may not be durable enough to last in the NBA for long. I have a feeling he will be getting a lot of protection from the refs and heads of the NBA. Still, there is no stopping a freak accident. The main goal for Wemby this summer I think should be to bulk up and initiate his Giannis-like transformation from boy to man.
In today's video, I'll be discussing what I think about Wemby so far from what we've seen. He's played in France for the Metropolitans and we were lucky enough to see him play in two summer league games for the NBA recently. I will prophesize what kind of player he may evolve into developing in the San Antonio Spurs organization. Much like David Robinson and Tim Duncan, the only other #1 picks that the Spurs have ever had. We know how great both of those players grew to be. I'm willing to bet that Wemby turns out to be a great player in the next few years.
Comment below with anything you think should be discussed about Wemby. Whether or not I talked about it in the video, I'll be happy to comment on any and everything NBA-related.

Didn't see this one coming ๐ฒ You can't make this stuff up. Most people on Hive are probably well aware that LeoFinance had been cooking up Threads for well over a year. We finally got our hands on Threads and so far people seem to really love it. We don't have a massive user base quite yet, but I thought Threads was a much-needed addition to Hive's ecosystem.
Fast-forward a few months and somehow Instagram has released an app called Threads that does basically the exact same thing. They are saying it's aiming to be a competitor to Twitter, but to me it seems more like a timely clone of LeoFinance Threads.
There is no telling if Meta/Facebook/Instagram saw LeoFinance Threads and it inspired them. Most would probably say that did not happen. I can't help but feel like it happened though.
In today's video, I will be discussing this surprise release of Instagram Threads. Maybe they had talked about coming out with this previously, but I had never heard of it until July 5th when the app suddenly appeared on the app stores and began to flood social media.
The main draw here is that you can bridge your Instagram followers over to a Twitter-like interface. Where in the past it was more difficult to get your Instagram followers to migrate to Twitter for thread-like content. I understand the reasoning behind Instagram Threads, but what I don't get is why so many people are still happy to sign control of their content and information over to these huge corporations who do nothing but profit off of us. Just on the first day of Threads release, there have already been over 100 million accounts signed up. Pretty crazy numbers and I think Twitter is probably shitting bricks right about now worried that their numbers are going to fall off a cliff.
It will be interesting to witness the battle between Twitter and Instagram Threads. It does seem like we are all being distracted from something bigger though. I mean they are even pitting the two faces of these platforms against each other in an actual fight. I still can't believe that Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerburg is actually happening. Crazy times we live in. You'd be foolish to think this isn't all planned though. The elites are meticulous and they see everything. This is why my gut tells me https://www.threads.net/ is just another Web2 app that is trying to keep users from transitioning to Web3.
Enjoy the video and feel free to drop your thoughts about Instagram Threads down below.

My first rage post in a long time ๐ก๐ค๐คฌ Unexpected things happen, but it's up to you how you react to them. Anger is a natural emotion, but that doesn't mean that you should let it get the best of you during stressful situations.
Sunday morning I woke up to find out that somebody had driven into my new car and left a terrible mark on the back left panel. I didn't notice it at first, but it was hard to miss as soon as I went to go load groceries into my trunk while doing Instacart.
This past weekend was the busiest time of the year here in the little city that I call home. People from all over the state come for this big festival we have here once a year. To me, it's nothing but a shitshow, but many people around here live to get drunk and make a mess of the city I guess because it was overrun with people here. I of course live right in the middle of all the action and my normal parking garage went from not so busy to completely full. I parked my car as I always do and then was inside for the night and eventually went to bed. Sometime during the hours of 11pm-10am my car was damaged. Of course, the person didn't take the time to leave their insurance information and that leaves me to fit the bill.
My insurance company told me it would cost me $1,000 to fix the damages. I said no thank you and instead decided to call the police. I filed a police report and this may give me the chance to have my deductible lowered to $300, which to me is still a lot for something that I had no part in.
My hope is that the city and police will be able to work together to look over camera footage to figure out who it was who did this to my car. I am lucky that I remember exactly where I was and my garage is full of cameras. It's a shame that I have to do all of this, but there is still hope that the person responsible will be found.
In today's video, I will be discussing how furious this incident made me. I'll also tell you how I was able to get over this tremendous rage in less than 24 hours. I know it's just a car, but still, I will never stand for someone damaging anything that is mine and getting away with it.
I'm most likely going to have to pay some money out of my pocket if I wish to get the damages repaired. Thankfully the car still drives just fine, but it doesn't look anywhere near as beautiful as before.
If you are wondering how you can help, all I ask is that you upvote this post. All rewards and then some will be going towards getting repairs for my car. Not only do I not want the car to look bad, but I genuinely just do not want to have the firey anger reignited every time that I get into my car. As soon as I see the mark I get a bunch of negative thoughts about how I'd like to get revenge on the person. We must work to control our emotions though.
For now, I just have to be patient and let things run their course. I will be sure to update you as soon as I know more about the situation, but no telling how long that will take.

D-Rose is back in Memphis ๐น๐ป I couldnโt have predicted this. Everyone assumed that Derrick Rose would be leaving the New York Knicks in favor of heaving back home to Chicago to end his career. That could still happen, but not so soon as he just signed a 2-year deal with my Memphis Grizzlies.
In todayโs video, Iโll talk about why I think he is the perfect free agent for the Grizzlies. They traded away Tyus Jones for Marcus Smart and Ja Morant will be suspended for the first 25 games. A veteran point guard is a smart choice.
Rose still has some game left in him, although heโs nothing like he was back when he won MVP at the age of 23. After injuries, he is a totally different player. I think he will play more of a mentor role for the team, especially Ja Morant who seems to struggle to stay out of trouble. Rose will also be seeing some decent playing time to start the season with Ja out. Thatโs as long as Rose can stay healthy. We shall see.
The Grizzlies only had one roster spot left and Iโm happy to see a respectable veteran like Rose be the one to fill the spot.
I donโt expect Memphis to do any other significant transactions this off-season, but you never know. I feel like the only guys I could accept being traded at this point would be Jake LaRavia or Zaire Williams. Other than that, this Grizzlies roster is packed with the perfect blend of players to win the franchiseโs first-ever championship. Next season is going to be very exciting as a Grizzlies fan.
What do you think about Derrick Rose being back down in Memphis for the first time since he played college at the University of Memphis way back in 2007-08?
Comment below. I know Iโm hyped to have the guy on the squad.

From here to there ๐๐ Day one of the 2023 NBA Free Agency was full of huge signings. Some players chose to stick with their old teams and many decided to venture elsewhere. We have to remember, this all has to do with money. It's not just about having fun or winning, these players are all trying to secure the biggest bag possible. My goodness, are these salaries getting astronomical? It seems like average players are signing deals worth over $100 million like it's nothing these days.
In today's video, I will be discussing what I think about some of the signings from Day 1 of FA. There are a lot of good players who will be in new uniforms this coming season. I can't help but be excited because I know that once the new City jerseys are announced, I'll be ordering myself some more NBA jerseys from China.
The bulk of the content for my post today is withing the video itself. I'll let you get to it. If you're an NBA fan like me, I urge you to drop some comments about how you're feeling during the NBA Free Agency so far.

Three shows worth watching right now ๐ This summer has been full of blessings when it comes to great tv shows worth watching. In fact, three of my favorite series all have new seasons that were released in the past month. I'm of course talking about The Witcher (Season 3), The Righteous Gemstones (Season 3), and Black Mirror (Season 6).
In today's video, I will be talking about what I think of these three shows' latest seasons so far.
I wasn't sure we would ever get new Black Mirror episodes, but I'm glad that we finally did. I already finished all of the new episodes and I can say that they all are pretty great. The only thing that I didn't like about this new season is that they didn't really explore advanced technological ideas of the future like they did in so many of the older episodes. That was honestly my favorite part of the series and they took it a slightly different route this time. That's not to say they didn't do very well though, because several episodes totally juked me with how they ended up playing out. Prepare for many surprises in Season 6.
The Righteous Gemstones is probably my favorite comedy show ever. The three children of a megachurch owner are surely the funniest trio of siblings that you will ever encounter. This offspring has got the most filthy mouth and hilarious outbursts you can imagine. Season 3 is finally upon us, although they are drip-feeding the content. I knew a new season was coming eventually, but the wait seemed like forever. Now that it's finally here, I'm still having to be patient. As of writing this, only the first 3 episodes are out since they release weekly rather than all at once.
Then there is The Witcher Season 3, which again I looked forward to a lot. I honestly forgot about the show until they announced the new season's release date. It immediately put me into fantasy mode, as I had spent nearly 100 hours playing The Witcher 3 video game. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding this show now that Henry Cavill will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth in Season 4 and beyond. This final season with Cavill is one I really want to enjoy. Season 3 is releasing in two separate chapters. Chapter 1 has five episodes and is out now. Chapter 2 will come out on July 27th and contains the final three episodes.
Whether you want Sci-Fi/Drama, Comedy, or Action/Fantasy, surely one of these shows will stick out to you. Drop a comment and let me know which of these new seasons have you the most excited about.

Time to celebrate a fantastic day ๐ Today's video is one I'm happy to get to make. I recently had a day where several good things happened in the span of 24 hours. This is especially nice because nothing extraordinary has happened in the past month outside of my normal routine. Let's just say I feel I have a solid reason to celebrate.
A few days ago on Wednesday of this week, I was able to do multiple things in succession.
Saved over 50% on the cost of my first oil change for my Lincoln MKZ. I finagled a free parking pass for my garage during this big 5-day festival coming up this weekend. Then I ended up having my best day of Instacart in the past month shopping for what we call a unicorn, aka someone who tips a very large amount.
I'll be discussing what each of these wins felt like and more in today's video. Enjoy and feel free to drop a comment letting me know about your most recent win in life.

Washington didn't hold on to Chris Paul for long ๐ฌ๐ Chris Paul is on the move for the second time in less than a week. This time the Wizards are shipping him back out west to the Warriors in exchange for Jordan Poole. This trade is both confusing and makes perfect sense at the same time.
The Wizards get a player that has the potential to be the team's leading scorer, especially when paired with their new point guard Tyus Jones. They also got a few future draft picks from the Warriors.
Meanwhile, the Warriors cleared up a bunch of cap space getting rid of Poole's horrific contract. Plus, they added one of the best point guards of all time with Chris Paul.
Full details about the trade can be found on ESPN
In today's video, I will be talking about whether or not I think this was a good trade for both teams. The Wizards are obviously in a rebuilding stage. The Warriors on the other hand are determined to win another championship as Steph and Klay both continue to age out of their prime.
Comment below what you think about CP3 heading to the Warriors. Will he be the starting PG or the back-up guy coming off the bench? Do you see Poole averaging over 25 pts/gm? I think both players are in a much better place than they were before and will benefit from this trade. As for which team came out on top, that remains to be seen.

Goodbye to Tyus and hello to Marcus ๐๐ I knew that the Memphis Grizzlies would be making some big moves this offseason and they certainly did not wait long. Just a week after the NBA Finals concluded, a blockbuster trade between the Grizzlies/Celtics/Wizards happened.
The trade looks like this for the three teams...
Celtics receive: Kristaps Porziลฤฃis (via Wizards)
No. 25 pick in 2023 Draft (via Grizzlies)
2024 first-round pick (top-four protected, via Warriors)
Grizzlies receive: Marcus Smart (via Celtics)
Wizards receive: Tyus Jones (via Grizzlies)
Danilo Gallinari (via Celtics)
Mike Muscala (via Celtics)
No. 35 pick in 2023 Draft (via Celtics)
Full trade details are available on NBA.com
As you can see, the only thing the Grizzlies got out of the deal was Marcus Smart, and yet I think they got the best player out of everyone involved. Sure they don't have a first-round pick in the draft this year now, but getting a lockdown defender like Smart is a big win. Don't get me wrong, I love Tyus Jones a lot and I think he deserves to have a starting role somewhere. He had high trade value and I'm so glad they didn't waste that on an old injury-prone player like Chris Paul. Plus the Grizzlies will be losing Dillon Brooks this offseason, so getting somebody like Smart to replace that hard-nosed defending that Brooks brought is huge.
The Celtics knew they needed to bolster their available big men. If that meant getting rid of their point guard and former defensive player of the year Smart, so be it. They ended up landing Porziลฤฃis from the Wizards. As long as he can stay healthy, he is a solid defender, can score in the paint, and even is capable of draining some threes. Making a move like this certainly means it's championship or bust for the Celtics next season. Once those supermax contracts kick in for Tatum and Brown, some major changes will have to be made to the roster.
The Wizards seem to be in rebuilding mode. They traded away their two best players in Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porziลฤฃis. I have a feeling they will also be trading Chris Paul back out west someplace. My bet is on the Lakers or Clippers.
The offseason is barely underway and already we have major changes happening to teams around the league. I look forward to seeing what else happens this summer and fall until we finally reach the beginning of the regular season in October.
Comment below if you have any thoughts on the latest trade in the NBA. I'm obviously happy with what the Grizzlies have decided to do. Smart is going to get a lot of playing time while Morant is out. They can figure out how Ja/Bane/Smart can comingle later in the season. I have high hopes for another great year for the Grizz.

Ubisoft is making a statement with XDefiant ๐ซ If you haven't heard of XDefiant yet, prepare to have your mind blown. Ubisoft has decided to release a free-to-play FPS to compete with Call of Duty. Not only that, but it looks to be aiming to be more like the best COD games from many years ago.
If you're like me, you probably think COD has fallen from its grace. It may still be making plenty of money, but it's just not fun as it used to be. I'm not sure if it's because I've been playing COD for 20 years or if the development cycle is just too much to keep up with. COD has begun to feel stale and lazy to me, a game for children or superfans who don't understand how low quality it has become.
There is no barrier to entry with XDefiant, it's going to be free when it releases later this summer. Your chance to test it early is here starting today and going until this Friday night. This leaves three full days of gameplay. You will definitely be seeing a gameplay post from me later this week. In the meantime, check out this video for gameplay.
One of the biggest things about XDefiant is that Ubisoft is incorporating some of its best franchises with factions and maps. I'm talking about characters and locations from Ghost Recon, The Division, Splinter Cell, Watch Dogs, and Far Cry. More factions will be coming in the future and I imagine games like Rainbow Six and possibly even Assasin's Creed will get their own faction. Crossbows and knives anyone?
I'm really hyped for this game and am so glad I finally get to try it out today. I look forward to reporting back after I've actually had time to play the game for several hours. I'm pretty sure it's going to be great though. We will find out for sure soon.
Check out Ubisoft's blog post to learn more about how you can play XDefiant early

The chaos of the offseason begins ๐คฏ Less than a week into the NBA offseason and we already have a massive blockbuster trade between the Phoenix Suns and Washington Wizards.
The Suns have added another superstar to their team to form what might be one of the greatest scoring trios ever. I'm not convinced they will mesh well, but if they do the league could be in for some major trouble. '
With the trade, Phoenix will receive Bradley Beal. The Wizards are getting Chris Paul and Landry Shamet, plus some second-round draft picks. It honestly seems like a horrible trade for Washington, but I'm also thinking they may try to move Chris Paul elsewhere. It's hard to say, but I'm willing to bet that both teams' rosters are still not finalized and more moves will be made.
Check out this article from ESPN for full details about the trade.
In today's video, I will be talking more in-depth about the Bradley Beal trade. The Nuggets may have to seriously think about the Suns being a contender for a championship next season. My money is always going to be on my Memphis Grizzlies though, just gotta get Ja back ASAP.
Drop your thoughts about this trade below. Do you think Deandre Ayton is next to be traded as I do? I just don't see how they can afford to keep him and the Suns desperately need more depth.

Ja Morant will be back next season ๐๐ Now that the NBA Finals are finally over and the Denver Nuggets have conquered the Miami Heat, it's time for the drama of summer to begin. NBA commissioner Adam Silver had announced a few weeks back that they had come to a conclusion on Ja's suspension. This would not be revealed until the Finals and all Finals celebrations were complete.
The time has finally come and to my surprise, Ja only got suspended for 25 games for his second gun on IG live incident of the year. Part of me was nervous that he would be suspended for the entire year, but thank goodness that was not the case.
In today's video, I will be talking about the Ja Morant suspension and what I think it means for his career. He is without a doubt my favorite player in the NBA and by far the most exciting guy to watch on the court. I still have faith that he can find a way to become the face of the NBA for many years to come.
If you want more written details about the Ja suspensions, here is an article from ESPN with full details.
Ja will be suspended without pay for 25 games. If you are curious how much money he will be losing, then look no further than this article. To put it plainly, Morant recently signed a five-year, $192 million contract extension that begins on July 1, with his 2023-2024 pay right around $33.5 million, meaning he'll lose $304k per game or $7.6 million over the course of 25 games. OUCH! Those pockets must be aching. I hope he has been managing his money in a smart way, but I have a feeling that he probably has not been. He'll be fine and back to making the big bucks in no time.
Drop your comments below with your opinion on this segment of NBA drama. It still feels like a publicity stunt to me, but who knows what is and isn't planned around the league.

Time to do something with yourself ๐ช I was feeling good after leaving the gym the other morning. So much so that I was inspired to make a video talking about how important it is to not let your body become stagnant.
I'm nearing the two-year mark of my current fitness journey. I've been consistently doing strength training at the gym since September 2021. There has only been a couple of times when I was sick that I had to take a brief pause. Otherwise, I do my best to remain active. If I don't, my body practically screams at me to start doing something.
We have these fancy human bodies so that we can make use of them. This also means we are responsible for upkeep. I find that when I don't have a physical activity included in my day, my body just doesn't feel very well. I'll begin to ache and old injuries will resurface. Whereas when I am spending at least an hour or two daily working up a sweat, I never seem to be in pain. I'm a firm believer that most pain is temporary and ultimately it is up to us to resolve any issues we may be having.
Don't let the thumbnail fool you, I'm not talking shit the whole video. Quite the opposite actually. I just like to say outlandish shit and be funny. I try to always push a positive message, but who says you can't do that with a little bit of humor added in?
Enjoy the vid and hopefully, you gain something from it. Perhaps some motivation to start your own fitness journey. Believe me when I say that you will be happy that you did. There is no fair comparison between the lazy me and the active me. Active me will win the battle every time.
Comment below if you agree with me that physical activity is essential for optimum human functioning.

Just when I thought Instacart was dying ๐ชฆ๐ฅ๐ชฆ Today's video is overwhelmingly positive. I netted my highest-paying Instacart order this past Wednesday afternoon. It was two of my regular customers combined into one order. They both tipped well, but the second order blew my mind and went above and beyond what people normally do.
The old man at house #2 lived on the 17th floor of an apartment building, which wasn't fun to get to and I think he knew that. I carried over a dozen bags on one arm and made my way up, good thing I'm no longer a weakling.
He left a $30 tip in the app, but as I opened his door and delivered he also handed me $50 cash. I think you can do the math, that's an $80 tip. Plus my other customer left me $11 through the app and Instacart paid me my chump change sum of $7. I cannot be thankful enough for my customers. Instacart on the other hand, can choke on a dick. They've been starving me for orders here lately and batch pay is atrocious. Such a greedy company, but hey at least they connect me with some awesome customers who make sure I'm paid a livable wage.
I recorded this vid right after I got home from delivering this huge order, the hype hadn't died off yet. The fact that it took me a few seconds under an hour is amazing. This means I made $100/hr for the first time ever. It's going to be hard to top that in the future.
Enjoy watching and feel free to celebrate with me or share your biggest win here lately.

Down, but not out ๐๐ฅ๐ป Crypto continues to get rekt and people like you and I suffer the consequences. You've got to pay the cost to be the boss though, so no complaining here. Just gotta figure out the best way to make do of the situation. Many have fallen on hard times, especially in comparison to the abundance levels of the last couple of years.
Now time to quote one of my favorite songs from my childhood, "I Get Knocked Down" by Chumbawamba
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down
You can't honestly think that just because our favorite alts are bleeding right now, I'm just going to throw in the towel. We've been here before and we will probably be here again many times in the future. The thing is, we always get back to the light eventually. The shadows are sometimes dark and worrisome and it's easy to let the darkness get to you. However, if you can embrace this darkness, then you will find ultimate balance in this world.
Crypto is unpredictable and sometimes you just need to vent when things aren't going so well. That is exactly what I'll be doing in today's video. Hopefully, this will help motivate both you and me to not lose hope in the power of decentralization.
In my opinion, the reason that crypto is down right now is that certain powers are afraid of what it could do to the control they currently have over the world. The thing is, there is no stopping blockchain. Once we transition fully to Web3 life, there will be no turning back. It's only a matter of time. They're just going to keep trying to extend this delay with lawsuits and all sorts of other legal jargon. I personally don't give a fuck about all that though. Nothing will derail this locomotive of mine.
Feel free to drop your sad comments below and I will throw you a virtual hug while we all do our best to refrain from going into a fetal position like a little bitch. This is just another bump in the road to gl

Pick your poison ๐๏ธ Podcasts have become the best way to stay entertained and informed. It used to be most podcasts were voice-only, but now most of them are also recorded on video for your viewing pleasure. Podcasts with video make you feel like you're hanging out in the same room as the hosts and actual guests.
I have over a dozen podcasts that I listen to and watch weekly. I figured it was time to stop keeping all these hidden gems to myself and finally share a list of my favorite podcasts.
There's a vast variety of stuff here. Most are centered around comedy, but not all of them. You will also find some music, tech, gaming, and NBA content on this list. These are my main interests.
1๏ธโฃ - Bad Friends w Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino (Comedy)
2๏ธโฃ - The Leo & Danny Show w Danny Mullen and Leo Dottavio (Comedy)
3๏ธโฃ - TigerBelly w Bobby Lee and Khalyla Kuhn (Comedy)

After finishing this list, I realized that I don't have a podcast about cars that I listen to. Cars are one of my favorite things, but listening to people talk about how it all works just hasn't ever interested me. With that said, if you know of any good car podcasts, let me know. I'd be open to adding one to my rotation. It's too bad that Doug DeMuro doesn't have a podcast yet.
I'm curious if anybody actually listens to any of these podcasts. I have a feeling that This Past Weekend, Full Send, and Waveform are the most popular of the bunch.
Drop your thoughts below with comments or questions about these podcasts.
Stay tuned for more soon.

My Dick Sucks ๐คฃ๐ What happens when you combine hip hop with comedy? You get Lil Dicky aka DAVE. An absolute stud yet the most awkward person ever. Dave has a wicked sense of humor and smooth bars. This is a story worth checking out.
Dave is reviewed positively on IMDb plus my brother told me himself that the show was amazing. That should have been enough for me to watch it, yet I waited until the third season finished recently to finally begin watching this series.
It's an FX on Hulu show, so that's where you can find it. The way that I was finally convinced was when I was doing some research on what all one of my favorite comedians Andrew Santino is in. I saw he was not only in Dave, but a stand-out cast member with 30 episodes under his belt like Lil Dicky himself.
I don't want to get into gritty details about the show and spoil it, but let's just say I binge-watched five 30-minute episodes last night. I normally never watch that many episodes in a row, but this one was hitting for me. I knew from the first episode when rapper YG made an appearance that it was for me. That's just one of many rappers you can expect to see. I also saw Trippie Redd and Young Thug. Plus, I heard that Drake is in one of the later episodes. Let's just say this show is absolutely stacked with talent and my god is it funny too.
In today's video, I will be discussing more about why this show is so amazing. I wasn't a Lil Dicky fan before, but now I certainly am. The guy is funny, spits fire, and always has the hardest beats. What's not to love?

Apple has done it once again ๐ The rumors have been swirling for a while now, but Apple has at last officially unveiled its new AR/VR headset called the Apple Vision Pro. It will be released in early 2024 and cost a jaw-dropping $3500.
Here is the page with all details on Apple's website:
https://www.apple.com/apple-vision-pro/
The amount of amazing things that Vision Pro is capable of is pretty mind-blowing. It looks as though nothing else in the VR-sphere will be able to compare to this thing. Apple acted in typical Apple fashion. The weren't the first to release a headset like this, but now that they are it is going to be the best of the bunch. Patience pays off yet again.
In today's video, I will talk about some of the features of this headset and why I think that it will be the headset that will eventually bring everyone into a world where we all wear headsets frequently. I have no doubts that Apple is determined for this thing to succeed and I have faith that it will.
You can also check out a few other videos about this headset below:

Things just keep getting worse for Ja ๐คฆโโ๏ธIf you haven't heard the news, the NBA Superstar Ja Morant has been suspended indefinitely. For the second time in the last 6 months, Ja was caught waving a gun during an Instagram Live. You may think that's no big deal, I sure don't although it is pretty silly. However, the NBA is a massive corporation and they have a certain image to uphold, so Ja's actions have major consequences.
In today's video, I just wanted to talk about everything that has been going on with Ja this year. He is by far the most exciting player to watch in the entire league, but getting to watch him next season may not even be possible due to impending suspensions.
I've also got some of my favorite memes that I've seen about the Ja Morant news. Although he is my favorite player and I don't want him to be in trouble and unable to play, that's not going to stop me from making jokes about the situation.
People have been saying that the only person that can set Ja straight at this point is Coach Carter. If you have never seen that movie starring Samuel L. Jackson, you gotta go back and check it out sometime. One of the best basketball films ever.
Another epic film worth going back to watch is Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood. Long title I know, but that is because the entire movie is nothing but a hood parody starring the Wayans brothers. In this photo, Ja is imitating the Marlon Wayans character Loc Dog.
This one doesn't have much context, but it's freaking hilarious.
Not sure if the AI apology thing is true because that would be very easy to photoshop. However, if it is, damn that sucks he got caught. It almost seems like all of this is a joke just to get views at this point. It's working!
This is a great show where they bring kids who behave badly to prison and try to scare them into behaving well. Ja definitely needs something like this in his life so that he can remember that NBA is a professional league.
I'm hyped for GTA VI, who knows when we will actually get it though. I do think that Ja would be a great DLC character for the game. It will never happen, but this custom box art had me cracking up when I saw it.
This is the Ja Morant logo, except the J was replaced with a pistol. It actually looks pretty good and if the world had a sense of humor this would be his revamped logo.
Another Ja with a gun logo, except this time it's a take on the famous Jordan logo. Too funny.
Ja running through an airport scanner that detects for weapons. Imagine actually seeing some shit like this during the starting lineup introductions.
Ja can't post anything without it becoming a headline. I don't think he was prepared at all for this type of stardom.
Gilbert Arenas was one of my favorite players growing up. He now hosts one of my favorite NBA shows on YouTube called Gil's Arena. Check it out, this guy always has dope takes on things going on in the NBA. It's not like that sugar-coated bs on mainstream tv. The crew talks just like they are hanging out at the crib with no filter. I agree with the fact that Ja is the most marketable player in the NBA right now, or at least he was before he started flashing guns all the time. I think he still can be, there is nobody as explosive and fun to watch as this kid.
There are many accusations against Ja, it's almost like they are trying to cancel him. Pointing guns, punching people in the face, and who knows what will be next.
Ja Morant's first signature sneaker dropped with Nike earlier this year. They sold out instantly and continue to be very popular. This is despite the fact that Nike has removed them from their online store. The funny part is they dropped Kyrie for something so silly and then Ja goes and does this and they are still trying to hold on to him because he is such a gold mine in terms of his shoes selling. I'm curious to see if Nike will forgive his actions.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver has got to be a robot. Just look at the dude and the way he talks. I've always thought something was up with him. They've made a decision about what will happen to Ja next season, but since the NBA Finals are currently underway, they are waiting until it's all over before they announce Ja's fate.
I'm really worried that they are going to continue to overreact and put Ja out for half the season, if not longer. I don't think they will go as far as banning a guy like Ja from the league, but they are going to drag him through the mud at least. Fingers crossed that he doesn't receive a major punishment and can actually play next year. I want my Grizzlies to make up for their failure of a playoff run this season.

Why does this product existโToday I wanted to talk about one of the oddest things I've seen in the tech world. It's a pair of headphones made by the vacuum cleaner company Dyson. These aren't just any headphones though, but air-purifying headphones. I'm not so sure they actually do anything much more than play sound though. It seems that the purification part is just a gimmick. Keep in mind, these things cost $950!
In today's video, I will discuss why you 100% should not fall for the marketing of these headphones. They seem like a total waste of money, for reasons which I will mention in the video.
Check out the complete product information:

๐๐ฅฉ๐This has got to be one of the funniest shows that I've watched in quite some time. It hasn't been trending on Netflix for no reason. Sometimes the trending movies or tv shows are lame, but Beef stands out as one of the greatest in quite some time.
The way that I even found out about this show by watching an episode of one of my favorite podcasts called Bad Friends. You may be familiar with it as it is hosted by two hilarious comedians Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino. My friend Lee told me about this podcast and I've been hooked since. Bobby Lee and Santino share the same sense of humor that me and my friend share. That's why I knew that when they mentioned Beef during one of the recent episodes, I had to take the time to watch it. I had already heard of it but was sleeping on how good it was.
Santino actually has a minor role in the show and his character is pretty hilarious. Bobby Lee was supposed to be in the show too, but his role was filled by another Asian dude because Bobby was in rehab at the time. It's a shame because the show would have been even better with Bobby.
The show basically centers around two people who get into a heated war with each other over a road rage incident. One is an extremely successful mom and the other is a struggling handyman. It starts off with small things, but develops into both characters doing things that could potentially ruin each other's lives. It's amazing!
I don't want to spoil this for you, but trust me, if you like comedy you need to watch Beef.
In my video today, I will be talking a bit more about the show and why it's so freaking good. There is a lot to like about it and I really can't think of anything bad. It's got humor, mystery, and a ton of cool characters. Once again, no spoilers in my video so feel free to watch and see if Beef seems like your type of show.

Miami Heat eliminate Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals โน๐พโโ๏ธWhat a series! The Heat have been underdogs throughout the entirety of the 2023 playoffs. Time and time again they prove the critics wrong. Led by a rather imposing guard and absolute dog Jimmy Butler, the Heat are headed to the Finals to face the Denver Nuggets and their triple-double machine Nikola Jokiฤ.
It has not been an easy road for the heat this season. They finished middle of the road and were forced to fight in the Play-In games. They lost to the Hawks in their first chance to secure a playoff spot. They held on to win against the Bulls and claimed the #8 seed in the East.
The first round was a huge 4-1 upset of the #1 team Milwaukee Bucks. Conference Semi-Finals Heat beat the #4 seeded Knicks 4-2. Then of course it was a tight 4-3 in the conference finals taking care of the Celtics. It's wild that the Celtics were down 3-0 and nearly made the miraculous comeback with four wins in a row. Even though the final game was in Boston, they still just weren't able to do it. In fact, no team has ever been able to accomplish such a feat.
In today's video, I will be talking about the Heat's journey during the 2023 NBA Playoffs and whether or not they stand a chance against the Denver Nuggets in the Finals.
The Finals start on Thursday June 1st in Denver.
Drop your comments below. I'm always down to talk NBA with other basketball fans.

Party time ๐๐ฅณ๐ In todayโs video I wanted to talk about an eventful Memorial Day Weekend that I just had.
On Saturday my parents threw a party with a bunch of friends, food, and drinks. My brother was able to come back home to visit and was able to come to the party. Moonshine may or may not have been involved.
Then Sunday my brother and I went over to one of our buddyโs new house that he just bought. We ended up having a great time.
Monday was officially Memorial Day and that means the pools are finally open!
Thereโs a lot to be excited about now that summer is officially here. Enjoy the video and comment below with any thoughts you have about the various things I talk about.
Here are some photos from the party Saturday.

Time to SEE what itโs all about ๐I recently completed one of my favorite shows that Iโve watched in a very long time. Iโm of course talking about the Apple TV+ series called See starring Jason Mamoa.
I started this back in 2019 and then didnโt have access to this subscription service finish season 2 and 3. Now that I have a VIP membership on flixtor.to I was finally able to watch all of the episodes. It was a long wait, but this show is so good and it was very well worth my time.
To briefly give you an idea of what the show is about:
Humans are living more of a tribal lifestyle set in the future after humanity collapses. 99.9% of people are born blind and anybody who has vision is considered a witch.
Thereโs a whole lot of action, drama, interesting characters, cool landscapes, and even a bit of incest. Itโs like Game of Thrones mixed with Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West (minus the robot dinosaurs).
I really canโt recommend this show enough, whether or not youโre a big Jason Mamoa fan or not. Itโs honestly just very well done and stays interesting from start to finish.
Watch todayโs video for a much more in depth talk about See. Donโt worry, there are no major spoilers and I try to give my personal opinion about the series rather than just tell you about every little thing that happened in it.

Let's-a go! ๐I should have known that this new Mario Bros. movie was going to be amazing, but I kind of slept on it. I finally got a chance to watch it last night and I really must say that it is outstanding. This movie is not only a great nostalgic callback to one of the most beloved Nintendo characters ever, but it's also just a really hilarious film.
Just by looking at the cast list on IMDb, you can tell that this one was going to be funny. Just take a look at all of the different actors voicing these characters.
This is an animated film, but don't let that scare you off. It's absolutely worth your time, whether you played Mario as a kid or not. The art style actually really made me wish they'd make a new Mario game with these same graphics. Just think of a beautiful Unreal Engine 5 Mario game, that would do some crazy numbers in terms of sales.
I talk more about why this movie is so good in today's video. I also mention the fact that watching the movie made me want to fire up my Nintendo Switch for the first time since I got my launch-day PS5. I had already completed Super Mario Odyssey and I couldn't find Super Mario 3D All-Stars for a fair price, that's the one that includes Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy. I figure they'll eventually bring Super Mario Galaxy 2 to Switch, but who knows when.
This left me with two options. It was either New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe or Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Watch my video to find out which of the two I decided to buy and how I was able to find it for a super cheap price.
Comment below what your thoughts are on The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Feel free to tell me your favorite Mario game ever too. I think for me it has to be Super Mario Odyssey.

Well hello there ๐It has legit been 6 months since I last posted a video on 3Speak. Pretty crazy to say that.
There have been periods when all I wanted to do was create videos. There have also been periods of me strictly wanting to put out written blogs. No matter what, my life always seems to continue flowing like water. Think of a wave building up and crashing down infinitely.
Iโve been feeling like my 6-month phase of writing a blog every single day needs to come to an end. I donโt really have anything I wish to write about right now, but I do have a lot to talk about constantly. The content machine will continue, itโs just getting switched to a different mode.
The best way for me to make sure that I record a video every single day is to do it while Iโm sitting in my car. I spend a lot of time inside this ride and it also happens to be a pretty great content creation station thanks to the magnetic phone stand I have in my car. This allows me to position my phone to face me perfectly without having to hold it. So I can record while driving or parked.
I donโt want to keep typing more on this one, because the point is for me to transition once again back to making videos. The bulk of this postโs content is within the video, so I hope that you can take the time to watch some or all of it.
I look forward to sharing more videos like this one and getting to interact with people in the comment section.
I touch on a lot of random things in this one, so feel free to drop a comment about anything that you resonate with.
See you all soon. Enjoy the vid.

Looking back at my gaming history ๐ฎ Today I wanted to go back in time and have a look at my ancient gaming history over on Xbox. I played all of my games on Xbox 360 from 2005-2013. Since then, I have not owned a single Xbox.
Within that 8-year period of gaming on Xbox, I amassed over 100,000 gamerscore, which is something I was very proud of at the time. Eventually, I ended up switching to PlayStation when the PS4 was released in late 2013. This means that my gaming achievements/trophies are split between two different platforms. Too bad there is no way to combine your Xbox stats with PlayStation.
I had a conversation with @magicmonk the other day that made me want to look through all of my old Xbox 360 achievements. So I started doing some digging and found https://www.trueachievements.com/gamer/KrispyKremeKing/
This awesome website makes it super easy for you to scan tons of information about your Xbox play history. About the only thing it doesn't keep track of is your total hours played.
You can search any gamertag, such as mine "KrispyKremeKing". My history included over 250 different games and nearly 5k achievements. The term we used back in the day was "Achievement Whore" and I certainly was one of those.
In today's video, I will be going over some of my old achievements and reminiscing about a few of my favorite games during the time period of 2005-2013.
If you enjoy this type of content feel free to drop a like and comment to tell me your favorite game from the 360 era.
Thanks for watching!

Beast mode activated ๐น Now that I'm in my 30s, I thought it would be wise to make sure that my hormones are balanced. Pretty much every man these days has some sort of issue with their hormones. Either their testosterone levels are low or their estrogen levels are too high. There is no sure way to know this unless you actually have the bloodwork done to determine what's going on inside of your body.
https://honehealth.com/ makes this process simple and affordable. The best part is, all of it can be done from the comfort of your home and you can have any treatment options shipped directly to your door. This is of course in the USA only, but if you live here it is a fantastic option so that you can start managing your hormone levels properly.
Every 3 months of treatment, I am required to do a new blood test so that I can get readings on my new hormone levels. I recently hit my 6-month mark of treatment, which is usually when you start to see the biggest changes. That and the one-year mark are considered to be the most important times during hormone treatment. As with most things, major changes take time. This means that you will be practicing patience until you reach your desired results.
I started all of this with low testosterone and average estrogen/estradiol levels. You can see my lab results in the following screenshot. Keep in mind that free testosterone is more important than total testosterone. Also, July 06 is N/A because that blood test failed and was unable to produce results.
As you can see, my free t is absolutely through the roof now and I definitely am feeling it. It went from a minuscule 6 all the way up into the 20s now. I'm stronger than ever and feel the best both physically and mentally that I have in years. The only concern is the fact that my estradiol has nearly quadrupled, which results in my body storing more fat than it needs to. My Hone clinician and I have been trying to get my estrogen levels lowered where there need to be while keeping my free t at current levels. This will keep me at my new strength levels, but also allow me to lower my body fat percentage by quite a bit.
When all of this started, I began taking something called Clomiphene, which boosts my testosterone and fertility. My body responded magnificently to it and this meant I didn't have to opt for testosterone injections, which lower your sperm count. During my 3 month update, we decided that it would be best to add something to the regimen called Anastrozole. The purpose of this was to drastically lower my estradiol numbers, which could also result in a slight boost in testosterone. The latter did occur, but sadly my estrogen is still way too high.
To solve this problem, we have quadrupled the amount of Anastrozole that I will be taking. Instead of a half tablet weekly, I will now be taking one full tablet bi-weekly. My Clomid intake will remain the same at half a tablet daily. I cannot wait to see how this adjustment results. My hopes are that I lose about 10 pounds of fat and continue to put on more lean muscle.
In today's video, I will be discussing my Hone Health treatment progress. I will also be showing you my entire virtual appointment with my clinician, which is less than 5 minutes long.
Some other posts about my experience with Hone ๐ โ My first at home blood test
โ Virtual appointment #1
โ 3 month update
Thanks for watching today!
Be sure to comment if you have any questions at all about how all of this works. I highly recommend Hone Health to any man at any age, especially if you are just curious to know your hormone levels with a simple at-home test. I know it isn't going to be for everyone though.

The new M2 is quickly approaching ๐ฉ๐ช๐๐ BMW has officially revealed its 2023 M2 to the world. This will be the smallest and lightest model in the M lineup, making it the preferred choice for BMW driving enthusiasts. The M2 will join an already stacked M lineup.
Consumers may be torn as to whether or not they like the boxy styling of the M2, but there is no denying the fact that performance numbers are looking very nice.
Some of the main things to know about the 2023 BMW M2:
โ 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine
โ 453 Horsepower
โ 406 Lb-Ft Torque
โ RWD
โ Two-door coupe
โ Optional manual transmission
โ Starting at $63,195
โ Launches April of 2023.
More info on https://www.bmwusa.com/future-vehicles/m2-coupe.html
In today's video, I will be going over every single thing that we know about the 2023 BMW M2. There is quite a bit of info out about this thing already. I've paired that with a walk-around video from BMW, as well as a cool little drifting commercial.
Comment and let me know if you too think the M2 will be the most popular choice in the BMW M lineup. It may not have the oversized grill that the bigger dogs sport, but it still has a mean front end and appears to be quite aggressive.

*Hellraiser
Significant Other
Luckiest Girl Alive
Jexi
Little Demon
House of the Dragon
Reboot*
This list includes a wide range of genres. Horror, sci-fi, drama, comedy, animated, and more. There should be something for everyone here.

10,957 on planet Earth ๐ฅณ๐๐๐ I was born on October 9th, 1992.
The year is now 2022 and I have officially made it to my 30s.
Earlier in my life, I never would have guessed I'd be where I am now. On my 20th birthday, all I wanted to do was have a party. Now that is the last thing I want to do. I've calmed down a lot, but that doesn't mean I have forgotten how to have fun with life.
In today's video, I invite you to celebrate my birthday with me. I've been given the opportunity to live my life as I choose to and I couldn't be happier with my current situation.
Today, I decided to go out for a morning walk. In this video, I will discuss a bit about where I was 10 years ago, where I stand now, and where I see things potentially going over the next 10 years.
I've yet to be able to predict the exact things that will happen in my life, but with many years of experience comes a bit more knowledge of what to expect. The world feels like it is on the brink of something. I like to believe that we have many positive changes incoming and will not be stuck with a negative reality. We shall see though.
This past year has been one of the best of my adult life. Many thanks go to this amazing Hive community for giving me the courage to finally quit a job that I hated and instead pursue something I'm actually passionate about... content creation. I also would like to thank my girlfriend @flowerbaby, my parents, and my brother for giving me people to count on and love. These are the things that I care for most in this world and I'm lucky to have all of them.
This is my first walk-and-talk video since getting my iPhone 14 Pro Max. That means this should be the best one yet considering Cinematic Mode makes every video look a million times better. I've taken a few weeks off from these types of videos since the temperature has dropped drastically here. I figured there is no better day to get back into this style of content than my birthday.
I hope you enjoy and if you have any advice on how to best live through my 30s, please let me know by leaving a comment.
Thanks for watching!

Secrets of the family ๐คซโ๐ค One recent night @flowerbaby and I were scouring all of the different streaming apps for something to watch together before bed. We were on Netflix and stumbled upon Inheritance. She was interested right away and I was too once I saw that Simon Pegg was one of the main characters. We started it right away without even looking up a trailer or reviews. Luckily we did that because reviews are pretty negative for this film. We both thought the complete opposite of the critics on this one, is sure isn't the first time that happened. Inheritance was so freaking good and had us both hooked the entire time.
Without revealing any major plot points, the basic premise of the movie is centered around a super wealthy family in NYC. The father is a banker, the daughter (Lily Collins) is a lawyer, and the younger brother is a politician. You can guess there is corruption lingering within. Things were already busy for both of the children, but ramp up even more when their father suddenly dies and his last will and testament are revealed to the family. Along with that comes a series of secrets that slowly unravel throughout this film.
The biggest secret of all is the fact that the father has kept a man chained up in a hidden bunker on his family's estate for over 30 years. The daughter inherits far less money than her brother, who was the golden child. While the poor girl inherits a decent sum, albeit much less, AND the secret prisoner becomes her responsibility too.
Simon Pegg plays the captive and my goodness does he put on an entertaining show. His character is so mysterious and seems to be submissive to the daughter's will. Only time will tell if he can be trusted enough to be released. One thing is for certain, he knows a lot more about the family than either of the other family members ever dreamed of knowing.
In today's video, I will be discussing in more detail why I think this is an essential watch. My girlfriend and I both thought that Inheritance was one of the best films that we have watched in a while. Maybe we were just really high off of edibles, or perhaps I'm Simon Pegg-obsessed and my gf will love anything that Lily Collins is in.
The only way to find out for sure is to watch it yourself. It's streaming on Netflix currently. More info about the film can be found on IMDb.

The story of the Milwaukee Monster told from the perspective of the victims and police incompetency that allowed the Wisconsin native to go on a multiyear killing spree. Source
Gay stuff and murder ๐ช๐ฉธ๐ฅฉ Evan Peters has done it yet again. The actor most famous for his roles in American Horror Story just gave us the best portrayal of Jeffrey Dahmer that has ever been. To call Dahmer a psychopath would be an understatement. This guy was severely mentally ill and it led to some horrific things.
Dahmer is well-known as the serial killer who famously ate his victims. Most people don't know much beyond that. In this mini-series, you will also learn that he was gay and targeted gay men, most of which who were black.
This show focuses on the childhood of Dahmer and gives you an idea of what may have led him to become so insane. His parents were pretty terrible and the cops just didn't want to listen to minorities back then. This is what allowed Dahmer to get away with consecutive murders for so long.
In today's video, I wish to discuss my thoughts on this Netflix show. I think it is one of Evan Peter's best performances and that is really saying something considering he has had so many great roles over the years. I think he is one of the most underrated actors and deserves some recognition for how realistically he was able to capture the eerieness of Jeffrey Dahmer.
Where to watch Dahmer ๐ You can watch the entire series for free on flixtor.to
However, I encourage you to watch this on Netflix if you can, but I understand not everyone can afford the membership.
Thanks for viewing my video today
Feel free to comment your thoughts about Dahmer.

Create your own custom sounds ๐ Today I am going to teach you how to do something cool with your iPhone or iPad. It is a simple process, but it will allow you to customize your device in a new way.
In this video, you will learn how you can turn any sound file into a ringtone using a free app called Garageband.
I will show you how to download a sound file from SoundCloud and then locate the file in the Files app to import it into Garageband. Then we will edit the sound and export it into your iPhone/iPad's ringtone library for use.
Any sound file will work. If you already have your own file of choice, you can skip downloading one from SoundCloud.
Many Apple users have no idea that it is this easy to create custom ringtones for free. Most go without having unique sounds and some are still paying for ringtones on the iTunes Store.
After watching my video today, you will never have to pay for a ringtone again and can finally move on from Marimba and Chime sounds that most iPhones and iPads use.
Important links ๐ฒ Download Garageband on the App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/garageband/id408709785
Search for your favorite sounds:
https://soundcloud.com/
Download any individual song from SoundCloud for free:
https://sclouddownloader.net/
Thanks for watching ๐ If you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to comment and let me know. I am happy to help with any of this, but you really shouldn't have many problems. I kept this tutorial short and simple so that you should be able to create a custom ringtone in under 10 minutes quite easily.
If you found this information useful, be sure to follow me if you aren't already and leave a like to show some love.

I decided to record an unboxing of not only my new iPhone but several accessories that I got to go with it. I feel so incredibly lucky to be able to get one of these the day that they were released. I've been using an iPhone XS for many years, but finally, I get to upgrade.

This device will help me increase the quality of my content to a new level. It already has me motivated to start taking many more photos than I'm used to, plus my videos will look even better than before.
I cannot wait to make use of my new phone for even better content creation. Let this video be my final footage recorded with my old iPhone XS. I proudly introduce to you my gorgeous iPhone 14 Pro max.

It's about that time ๐ซ Summer may be coming to an abrupt end, but fall is THE gaming season. There are so many massive releases during these last few months of 2022. None are much more anticipated than the next iteration of Call of Duty. Many have grown tired of this fps powerhouse, but there is no denying that COD still has one of the largest fanbases in the gaming industry.
Modern Warfare II drops on October 28, 2022, more than 10 years since 2009's Modern Warfare 2, which is a totally different title. Ever since 2019's Modern Warefare reboot, we are dealing with an entirely different MW, as confusing as it may be to some.
This year's game is being developed by Infinity Ward, which happens to be the company out of all the different COD dev teams that seem always to produce my favorite CODs.
Campaign gameplay has already been revealed, but what everyone really cares about is the multiplayer aspect of the game. We are finally getting details about that this Thursday at the Call of Duty Next event.
The day after the showcase, the Multiplayer Beta begins and will go on for two full weekends. Details of the schedule can be found in the thumbnail image of this post.
In today's video ๐ฎ I will be discussing in more detail what you can expect from COD MWII. This game is about to be really good, I just have a feeling. We will know for sure this weekend once the beta starts and the COD Next event will also reveal a lot.
If you are hyped about this year's Call of Duty release, drop your comments and let me know. I'm always down to talk gaming, especially COD.
I hope this video is informative for you. Thanks for watching!

"Adrenaline junkie best friends Becky and Hunter find themselves at the top of a 2,000-foot abandoned radio tower."
Welcome to the land of extreme anxiety ๐ผ๐งโโ๏ธ On the weekends, I watch a lot of movies and tv shows with @flowerbaby. We both enjoy film a lot and love to get each other to watch the next great (or sometimes shitty) thing together. A few days ago, we found one that we both enjoyed in the oddest of ways.
I present to you, Fall.
This film fits well into the thriller genre and my goodness is it thrilling. If your idea of a good time is to have a racing heart and the feeling of overflowing anxiety, then Fall is the movie for you. It had both of our stomachs turning most of the time throughout the 1h 47m run time.
You can probably tell by the Fall's movie poster that this is all about extreme heights. These two absolutely insane girls decide it's a good idea to climb a 2,000ft/600m radio tower. This thing hasn't been used in years and it's out in the middle of nowhere. This makes it easy to sneak onto and climb, but also means there will be nobody around to help them if something goes wrong.
Seeing as this is a movie, of course, things go terribly wrong. I will not spoil it and tell you what, but let's just say I'm glad I wasn't the one on top of the tower.
The film does a great job of playing tricks on your mind. When it seems like things are going to get better, they get worse, and vice versa. Even though the two main characters are mostly in the same place during the movie, the writers still found a way to get creative and keep things fresh the entire time.
Although the main actors aren't people I've ever seen before, Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Neegan from The Walking Dead) does have a role of a secondary character that appears every so often. The two new girls (at least they were new to me) do a great job keeping the viewer entertained. This is large because the plot of the movie itself is just so unique and impossible to look away from unless of course, you are afraid of heights.
Watch my video ๐ You may have noticed that along with the written portion of this post, there is also a video at the top. In today's video, I will discuss in further detail why this film is worth seeing. I of course will not be mentioning any spoilers, so you can safely watch this without having to worry about ruining important plot twists.
Fall is currently still in theaters. If you are not able to go and see it, you can watch it for free through this link.
Be sure to leave your commments below. Have you watched this movie yet? If not, does it sound like something you'd enjoy?
Thanks for checking out my post today!

Apple always finds a way to innovate ๐ฒโ๏ธ๐คฉ One of the most exciting times of the year is finally here. Apple had an event a few days ago announcing all sorts of awesome new products. The main attraction was the new iPhone 14, but there are a lot of other things to talk about.
In today's video, I want to provide you with a full recap of everything that was announced at this event. If you thought you knew all of what Apple would reveal, I'm going to guess that you'll be surprised by a lot of this stuff.
What was announcedโ
1๏ธโฃ Apple Watch Series 8
Car Crash Detection. A temperature sensor for deeper insights into womenโs health and their cycles. An enhanced Workout app with advanced metrics. Sleep stages tracking to see how much time you spend in REM, core and deep sleep. Source
2๏ธโฃ The all-new Apple Watch Ultra
This is Apple Watch Ultra. Our most rugged and capable Apple Watch ever. Featuring a 49mm corrosion-resistant titanium case, multi-day battery life, three new specialized bands, a customizable Action button, precision dual-frequency GPS, innovative safety features like an 86-decibel siren and water resistant 100m. Apple Watch Ultraโa watch that pushes boundaries, so you can do the same. Source
3๏ธโฃ AirPods Pro
The all-new AirPods Pro have been completely reengineered for breakthrough sound. A next-generation H2 Apple-designed audio chip enables superior audio performance. Now thereโs up to 2x more Active Noise Cancellation, and Adaptive Transparency that lets outside sounds in while reducing loud environmental noise. And for a more immersive listening experience, Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking places sound all around you. A single charge delivers up to 6 hours of battery life. And Touch control lets you easily adjust volume with a swipe and manage playback functions from the stem. Source
4๏ธโฃ iPhone 14
Introducing iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. Two great sizes, Big (6.1โ) and Bigger (6.7โ). A new front camera with autofocus. A more advanced dual-camera system for even better photos. Action mode for extra smooth videos. All-day battery life on iPhone 14. And our longest battery life ever on iPhone 14 Plus. The lightning-fast A15 Bionic chip. And two groundbreaking new safety features we hope youโll never have to use, Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via satellite. All in five stunning colors. Now thatโs big. Source
5๏ธโฃ iPhone 14 Pro
What lies beyond a traditional smartphone? Letโs find out. This is iPhone 14 Pro. It starts with the Dynamic Island, an interactive place that bubbles up alerts, notifications, and activities. The Always-On display keeps go-to information just a glance away and has refresh rates ranging from 1-120Hz. The most impressive iPhone camera system yet has an all-new 48MP Main camera with a quad-pixel sensor along with telephoto and wide-angle lenses. And photographers who want even more control now have a new 48MP ProRAW option. New Action mode offers gimbal-like stabilized video. Cinematic mode is now in 4K HDR at 24fps. Finally, thereโs the A16 Bionic chip, all-day battery life, and vital new safety features we hope youโll never need: Emergency SOS via satellite and Crash Detection. Source
6๏ธโฃ Dynamic Island
Welcome to a shape-shifting, multitasking, head-turning, game-changing iPhone experience. Dynamic Island blends fun and function like never before, consolidating your notifications, alerts, and activities into one interactive place. Itโs integrated throughout iOS 16 โ and can work with all kinds of apps โ to seamlessly surface what you need, right when you need it. Source
7๏ธโฃ A few smaller things too
The star of the show for me was the iPhone 14 Pro and Dynamic Island. This surprising feature is quite possibly one of the coolest things to be added to an iPhone in quite some time. We finally know why Apple insisted on switching to the pill shape to house the front-facing cameras, rather than their traditional notch.
What I'm buying ๐ค After careful consideration, I have determined which model I will be upgrading to. Currently, I have an iPhone XS from 2018. I have been patiently waiting for the 14 to come out as I'm beyond ready for a new device.
I am getting an iPhone 14 Pro Max with 512 GB of storage. Out of the four color options, I am most drawn to the unique purple color. That's my build and it will cost me $1,399 + tax. A hefty price, but one I think is warranted since my iPhone allows me to create content, among many other things.
How I am paying ๐ธ Most people get on a payment plan or trade in their old iPhone, but I always prefer to just purchase the phone outright and be done with it.
Since I am living off of crypto these days, that means I need a way to turn my HIVE into BTC. I use https://stealthex.io for that.
Then I purchase Apple Store gift cards with my BTC using https://www.bitrefill.com.
I did this same thing back when I purchased my new M1 iMac. The whole process is about as seamless as it gets right now. I wish Apple would just accept cryptocurrency payments, but at least buying gift cards with crypto is still relatively easy.
This is what excites me the most ๐ฅณ I have so many reasons to be hyped about upgrading my iPhone to the latest model. A few reasons stand out to me more than others. I'd like to take the time to list my most anticipated features now.
1๏ธโฃ 48MP camera with additional Telephoto and Ultra Wide lenses
2๏ธโฃ Action Mode for better image stabilization during video
3๏ธโฃ A larger (6.7") and brighter (up to 2000nits) screen
4๏ธโฃ The 120Hz refresh rate and always on display
5๏ธโฃ Dynamic Island
6๏ธโฃ Better battery life
7๏ธโฃ MagSafe accessories
8๏ธโฃ A16 Bionic chip
9๏ธโฃ iOS 16 (releasing on September 12)
These are just some of the reasons that I am ecstatic to hand over more of my money to Apple. Preorders for the iPhone 14 start on September 9 and the launch will be on September 16. This means that by next weekend I will have my new iPhone 14 Pro Max in hand. My content is about to take another giant leap forward and I look forward to sharing my creations here with you.
You can find more information about all of these new products over at https://www.apple.com/

Back from the dead AGAIN ๐ You may have seen my post last week about Meechy Darko's debut album "Gothic Luxury". I cannot praise this album enough for its sheer ability to keep me listening. I feel like each time I hear the tracks individually I am learning something new. Then when I listen from songs 1-13 all the way through, it's as if I've transformed momentarily into a luxurious undead nightmare. Meechy is hands down my favorite rapper.
He announced his solo tour of shows called "A Tour Named Gothika" about a week before the album was released. I was hyped to listen and knew it was going to be good but was not prepared to love it as much as I do. At first, I told myself that I didn't need to go to any of his shows. Then after listening to the album dozens of times, I realized, why not go to one?
I took a moment to mosey on over to https://meechisdead.com/ and buy myself a ticket. I spotted the closest show to me, about 4.5 hours away in Asheville, NC, on Nov 18th and then confirmed my purchase. It ended up being only $30 or so for my individual ticket. Just like this is his first solo tour, this will be a solo trip for me and one of my first ones in nearly 3 years.
I decided to stay at my favorite hostel https://www.sweetpeashostel.com/, which is only $45/night for a very nice bed. It will also cost me $20 to park my car, but $65 is dirt cheap around these parts. Plus it is less than a 10-minute walk from the venue at https://theorangepeel.net/. I'll be in the center of downtown with the ability to walk to all of the best stuff in Asheville. This place is full of breweries and great places to eat. It once was named the happiest city in America. It's a safe haven for hippies and that's what made me originally visit many years ago. It's been a couple of years since I've been there, but I'm ready to back.
The last bit ๐ชฆ In today's video, I wanted to discuss in more detail why I think going to Meechy Darko's show is a must for me. I've been to a few other rap concerts before, but it has been about 10 years since my last one. I have some cool stories about those times for you in this video too.
I also wanted to take the time to ask if anybody lives nearby Asheville, NC. I will be there for a little over 24 hours and I will have plenty of free time before and after the concert. I know it's doubtful that anybody on Hive lives in the area, but you never know. If you're close by, let me know!
I'll end this with a few of Meechy's newest music videos. This guy has a killer image and his talent backs it all up. I'm so ready to see this dude kill it on stage on Friday, November 18, 2022.

West Virginia is adventure ๐ Many people where I live here in WV hate this place. I've learned to love it more the longer that I've been here. One of the best parts about this part of the USA is the abundance of nature and the many different things to do if you're a thrill-seeker.
Out of everything we have to do here, whitewater rafting is my favorite thing to do. We live about an hour from some of the best rafting rivers in the entire world. The New and Gauley Rivers. Both are sure to provide many rapids to experience, but also allow for a casual trip downstream at times.
I announced the other day in this video that @flowerbaby and I were very excited to finally get to do this together. I waited until Labor Day when they have a buy one get one free sale on the tickets. This allowed me to not feel too bad about spending $110 on photo and video footage. Even with that added cost, it was still far cheaper than the average full-day trip for two.
You may have already seen my post on Liketu from yesterday where I shared some of the best photos from our adventure. My goodness, we seriously had so much fun and I wouldn't change a thing about the trip. I even think that the rain was a good thing, although I'd like to go again when the weather is clear so Hannah can see what it's like.
I have saved the best content from this trip for today. I have an absolutely amazing video for you today. I've combined some of my usual walk and talk with loads of videos from our rafting trip on the New River with Adventures on the Gorge. There are also a few more photos that you haven't seen.
I've also added some of my favorite music that I've been listening to right now. If you aren't into it, just watch those parts of the video with the sound muted. If you are a fan of the music, here is some more information on that.
The songs used in today's video are all off of Meechy Darko's debut album "Gothic Luxury". Here is a list of the tracks in order of when they play in my video.

Thanks to everyone who visits my blog often ๐ I wouldn't be able to get out and do awesome stuff like this without the support that you all give me. I hope to keep providing great content like this for many years to come.
Leave any comments you have down below. I will get back with every single one, as usual. I have a feeling many may have questions about what to expect from whitewater rafting. Perhaps you have already been before and know just how fun it is. If not, you will see exactly what I'm talking about in my video today.

Let's parkour through hordes of zombies Man oh man, have I waited far too long to finally give Dying Light 2 a chance. This game has amazed me in a very short amount of time. I've gotta give a shoutout to @derangedvisions for trying to tell me at launch that this game was fantastic. I finally see THE LIGHT!
It's the first week of September 2022, just 7 short months after the initial release of Dying Light 2: Stay Human back on February 4. I was disappointed with Saints Row and am already finished with the game. I was hoping it would hold me over until Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and Overwatch 2 release, but no such luck. I was left wondering which game to play next.
I gave a few games in my library a try and actually had fun with Infamous First Light. For a game that came out all the way back in 2014, it still looks and plays very well. SuckerPunch has got to be one of my favorite development teams, they are also the ones that did Ghost of Tsushima. Too bad First Light was rather short and I finished it in just one evening.
I then played Journey to the Savage Planet for a bit. Although it was a very creative game, I wasn't sure I wanted to spend a ton of time exploring that world. I may come back to it and also have the Bugsnax DLC that I want to play soon.
Currently, I'm waiting for certain new games to release that I have preordered. I wasn't trying to buy any other games at full price right now, but there are several games that I've skipped that were released within the past year or so that I have been wanting to play. I like to use Gamestop as my hub for free games. Let me explain. Any used game you purchase can be returned for a full refund within 7 days. This means you can basically rent games for a week as long as you have a down payment. This is the perfect way for me to test out games that I am not certain about.
I went to two different Gamestop stores in search of the perfect used game. I narrowed it down to three different games. My options were Outriders, Immortals Fenyz Rising, and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. Out of the trio, Dying Light piqued my interest the most. I wasn't really trying to get into a third-person looter shooter right now and Immortals is yet another Ubisoft game, which is a formula that I've already said I'm getting tired of. I left the store with Dying Light 2 and was thinking at first that I wasn't going to enjoy it.
The initial 30 minutes or so were not very exciting and I was still trying to get acclimated to the controls. Once I finished the prologue and was released into the open world, that's when I realized that this game was truly something special.
For one, it is absolutely gorgeous and runs extremely well on my PS5. More than anything though, it's just straight up a ton of fun and unlike any other game out there really. Dying Light 2 is a freerunning zombie first-person melee weapon adventure. That's quite the combo, I know. It all works so well together and is paired with an interesting story that makes me not want to skip cutscenes.
I don't have a negative thing to say about this game. If I had to force myself to think of one negative, it would be how tense going out at night in the game is. I mean this game can be pretty scary at times and I found myself running for my life quite often. There is a drastic difference between night and day in this game and I love it. It keeps things from getting boring.
The parkour just feels really great. If you've played Mirror's Edge games or maybe that cyberpunk game Ghostrunner then you know what to expect. It's a hell of a good time and I look forward to playing a lot of this game over the next week. I've I'm not finished by then, I'll still return it and just purchase it digitally the next time it's on sale so that I can game share it with my brother. I haven't tried it yet, but Dying Light 2 also has co-op!
I've got some gameplay for you here in today's video, so enjoy watching that. I will share an even more in-depth perspective of my opinion while playing. So be sure to watch if you want to hear more about how awesome Dying Light 2 is.
Leave any of your comments below and I will be happy to respond when I can. I will make it clear that this post was scheduled to go live just before we leave for our whitewater rafting trip. That means I may not be back on here until late this evening, so bear with me.
Thanks for reading and watching today!

Time for a premium rush ๐ In today's video, I wanted to talk about our whitewater rafting excursion planned for tomorrow morning. We must be there and ready to hit the river by 10:30 am and then can expect to be out on the water for 5-6 hours total. This is about to be such an exciting adventure for me and @flowerbaby.
I've been whitewater rafting two other times and Hannah has never been before. You can check out my previous video to see how one of my other trips went. Let's just say I had a blast and cannot believe it's been close to 5 years since I've gone whitewater rafting. Luckily, I was able to take my brother with me once before he moved away to Pennsylvania.
Personally, I love a good adrenaline rush. So much so that I made a whole video about it a few months ago. Hannah on the other hand, this kind of thing makes her nervous. I know for a fact that she will enjoy it once we are there, but it's easy to let the idea of terrible possibilities take over your mind, especially when one watches so many horror movies. I'm doing my best to assure her that we are going with well-trained raft guides and it will be a wonderful time.
I scored big with these tickets during a BOGO sale. That means instead of paying over $300 for us both to go, it was only about $160. I will also pay an additional $50 after the trip to get a flash drive with video highlights from the rafting adventure. Be on the lookout for that video in a couple of days.
There's really only one negative so far and that is the fact that it is forecasted to rain tomorrow. I've been told that we will be going no matter what. So if it rains, the rapids will just be even better than on a sunny day.
Watch my video today if you want to hear more details about what our trip will be like. I know what to expect, but many have never had the pleasure of going whitewater rafting.
Leave any comments or questions below and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

In today's video, watch as I talk about my thoughts on Hulu's new show "Mike" featuring Mike Tyson. Get a closer look at his illustrious story of starting down in the mud, eventually leading towards wearing the heavyweight title belt at 20y/o and knocking out nearly every opponent he ever faced. Then watch his life crumble apart, only to be built back up again to the successful man that he is today.
Iron Mike is just as entertaining as ever ๐ฅ Hulu recently dropped the first episodes of its new tv mini-series titled "Mike". This is a dramatized show about the personal life of the famous heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson. It is based on true events, but of course, there is added flair which makes it even more entertaining.
Most have already developed their own opinions about Tyson, but this show will surely enlighten you on many things that happened throughout his life. Some of these instances are good and others are downright terrible. This man came from the absolute lowest in the streets of Fort Greene in Brooklyn, New York, NY. He somehow managed to rise to elite levels of boxing and become the heavyweight champion of the world at the ripe age of 20 years old.
The way this story is told in the show is pretty awesome. Mike tells stories from his life on a stage in front of a massive crowd, much like a stand-up comedian. There are countless flashbacks to show you exactly what was going down. Two different actors play Mike Tyson. During his teens, the role is filled by B.J. Minor and when he's older it is Trevante Rhodes (who just happens to be hilarious, much like Tyson himself). Both do a great job executing the vibe of Mike Tyson in an entertaining fashion.
All of the different stories will really keep you engaged. Mike started fighting at a very young age. By 13 he was already beating grown men, this guy was born to be a champion. It's crazy to say that because he lacked confidence early on and his own mother was even convinced by a doctor that he was retarded at one point.
Episodes 1-4 are already out and the final four episodes will release before this month is over. We are getting two episodes each Thursday night at midnight. This means that on September 9th and 16th you can expect the second half of this show. So far, it's pretty amazing! Each episode keeps outdoing the last and even the first episode is excellent.
Currently, Mike Tyson is 56 years old. I can't wait to see what the show ends up doing with the more modern version of Mike. He really seems to be doing much better than he once was. He's been on many podcasts such as The Joe Rogan Experience and Full Send and always has a lot of good stories to share. Plus, he also has his own cannabis venture called Tyson 2.0 which you can learn more about here.
There is no shortage of entertainment here in this show. Any guy who is a sports fan of any kind will love it and some girls will probably even enjoy it too. I wouldn't say the show is for any one type of person, it was made to be watched by any and all. A lot may be hearing about Mike Tyson in-depth for the first time, but many are already familiar with the story of one of the greatest of all time in the boxing world. Either way, you do not want to miss this one.

Let's look at the numbers ๐ฏ๐ Most on Hive already know about https://hivestats.io/. It is currently one of the best tools for tracking everything going on with each individual account. If you are new here and didn't already know about HiveStats, I guess you will be learning something new today.
This app has many different features, but I wanted to focus on one specific area today. I usually use HiveStats to keep track of my own numbers, but sometimes I like to look at other accounts and make comparisons.
One thing I've noticed is that many users have earned a ton of rewards over the years, but don't have much Hive Power to show for it. This means that they've powered down and most likely sold their rewards for some short-term gains.
I have continued to resist the urge to sell large amounts of HIVE, which has led my actual HP number to be higher than my lifetime rewards. This tells you that I've been holding way more than I have been selling.
Now there isn't anything exactly wrong with having a higher reward number than your total HP. Everyone is in a different life situation and some have no other choice but to sell just so they can afford their next meal.
There are also curation accounts with large amounts of HP delegated to them and they of course must sell their rewards to pay their delegators.
Then there are the people who have huge rewards, can't even reply to their comments, and sell 100% of what they earn from HIVE. I've noticed that a lot of times the ones most likely to be doing this are "influencers" who have large followings elsewhere and just think of Hive as a way to earn some extra crypto.
Meanwhile, there are those here who are really in it for the long haul and believe that Hive is the future of Web3 social media. I'm one of those people. The numbers on HiveStats prove that.
In today's video, I will be showing you how you can easily compare total earned HIVE vs staked HP for any account on the blockchain.
Feel free to comment with any questions you have below. It is a pretty simple process, but I'm always happy to help somebody better understand how to utilize this fantastic tool given to us by the @leofinance team.

So much to talk about ๐คฉ Where do I begin? I can't believe how many amazing things all happened yesterday for me. I have been so excited to make this video ever since all of this happened yesterday. Some will affect others here in the USA, but other things are more local to my area here in WV, and some of this stuff will only affect me. It's all great though. and I felt the need to share.
If you didn't know, the NBA has officially made 8/24 "Kobe Day". This is because he wore #8 and #24 while playing for the Lakers during his basketball career. It really is sad that he and his daughter died back on January 26, 2020. It seems like the world has been especially fucked up ever since then. No reason to dwell on negative thoughts though, let's get into all of the positives about yesterday.
Some of what you can expect to hear about in today's video:
โ The City of Charleston (where I live in WV) revealed plans for the Capitol Sports Center.
โ The US government announced that $10,000 in student loans will be forgiven for those making less than $125,000 annually.
โ I booked @flowerbaby and me a white water rafting trip for Sept 5th at 10:30 am.
โ The local massage school called me for a last-minute cancellation with a student named Annie.
โ My NBA jerseys came in (yes I ordered more) and the Chinese lady Lizzy Chen sent me an extra gift with a sweet little handwritten note. She surprised me with a Kobe Bryant jersey "Black Mamba Edition", which is perhaps my favorite out of this batch.
โ I should be getting my new couch from Wayfair this evening.
โ So many people have been commenting and showing love and Iโm just so grateful for this life I live and the people I have in it.
Thanks to you ๐ You can see by that last bullet point that a lot of this stuff wouldn't have happened without the Hive community. I wouldn't be able to afford to go white water rafting without the support of everyone here. There is so much that I wouldn't have without you all. So once again, I just wanted to thank everyone who shows me so much love and support day in and out.
There are a lot of photos and video clips in today's video. Be sure to comment below what your favorite part was. Then be sure to follow me so you don't miss my upcoming posts on Liketu about building my new couch and showing all of my new NBA jerseys.
See you all again tomorrow!

FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 โฝ๏ธ๐๐ As if my hype for this year's World Cup wasn't already big enough, it just shot up even more when I received my new Brazil and Argentina jerseys in the mail yesterday.
The World Cup only happens every 4 years and it is by far the most exciting sporting event for me and many others across the world in 2022.
This one is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in years. Some of the most world-renowned players will very likely be playing their last World Cup. My three favorite players are potentially in that group.
I'm of course talking about Cristiano Ronaldo (37 y/o), Lionel Messi (35 y/o), and Neymar da Silva Santos Jรบnior (30 y/o). Neymar could very likely be in the next World Cup, but the other two almost certainly will not since they will be close to 40. If Brazil manages to win the 2022 World Cup, then I feel like Neymar would feel less need to join the squad in 2026.
There is the potential that Brazil/Portugal/Argentina could meet in the finals. This would be the ideal situation for me, although it would be tremendously hard to decide which team I'd want to win.
All three of these players are yet to win a World Cup. Brazil has 5 World Cups, Argentina 2, and Portugal has never won.
Many stat comparisons between Ronaldo and Messi have them looking equally as great. However, if only one of them has a World Cup under their belt, then I believe for many that would signify which one has a greater legacy.
I could go on and on about how hyped I am for all of this to begin on Sunday, November 20, and end on
Sunday, December 18. About a month of intense matches and surely many surprises.
I really cannot wait, despite the fact that most of the games will be played while I am sleeping here in the USA. It's tough when the games are being held on the completely opposite side of the world. I will still manage to watch some and 100% will be keeping up with all of the highlights and stats.
There is a lot of good stuff in my video today. I've included many graphics and have so much to say. I invite you to watch it and enjoy the momentum building up to this World Cup over these next few months.
Leave your comments below for who your favorite teams and players are.
Thanks for watching!

Say no to your next cup of Joe ๐ซโ๏ธ
Joe is a slang name for โthe common manโ, such as the term "Average Joe" The first usage of โJoeโ in this instance appeared in the English lexicon around 1846. Hence, a โcup of Joeโ is the โcommon manโs drink. Source
Coffee has been popularized in a big way. Even kids are drinking it these days, but is that a bad thing? That is exactly what I have decided to discuss in today's video.
There are 5 Starbucks coffee shops within 15 minutes of where I live, so I know there will be a lot of coffee lovers who hate this video. Too bad, I'm allowed to have my own opinion. Although I have downed a lot of coffee in my adult life, I am proud to say that I haven't consumed any at all in many months.
Some say that avoiding coffee is too hard. It gives them energy, suppresses their appetite, or they simply love the taste. The taste part I can get with maybe, but caffeine really just puts the body into stress mode and that's not real energy. It's more of just an increase in your heart rate, which may make you feel more awake. In the long run, it is a terrible way to feel energetic and will lead to problems eventually, even if not quickly.
As for appetite suppressants, you really shouldn't ever need something like that if you are eating your natural diet and are healthy, but most people aren't of course. This means that the average person always feels tired and coffee seems like the only thing that can get them through the day. Especially when most people are sleep-deprived, much like I used to be when I worked nights. It truly is a sad predicament in terms of the overall health of the world right now.
Also, coffee beans are actually just seeds. If you really know what's going on, you'll understand that seeds are terrible for human consumption. I used to be in the camp that believed the total opposite and I was convinced that was the truth too. Later, I found out that seeds simply do not agree with our bodies and are some of the worst things you could put inside yourself. It's even worse when you turn that seed into liquid and are guaranteed to absorb any toxins that are within it, ร la coffee.
If you're still reading this, then you must be at least a little curious about whether coffee is actually something humans should be drinking. I invite you to watch my video and see what I have to say. I've certainly had my fair share of experiences with coffee, but I'm not claiming to be an expert either.
After watching my video, I'd like to recommend a great YouTuber that you should check out. His channel name is Goatis and basically, he does reaction videos breaking down all of the terrible things about these so-called "health influencer" diets. It's pretty remarkable information and also quite entertaining since he's blunt and hilarious.
I'll link this video where he specifically goes in on a girl who drinks a ton of coffee since she is always so lethargic thanks to her diet of extreme malnourishment. It's sad to see people doing to themselves, but it's great that Goatis is finding a way to alert people of all of these bad decisions many are making for their bodies.
Alright, that's it for the blog portion of this. Go back to the top of this post and watch my video now if you haven't done so already. Then go check out Goatis and maybe you'll start watching him regularly and learn some harsh truths.
Thanks for stopping by!

If nobody else is going to say it, I will ๐ฅ๐ฃ๐ Today's video may be controversial, but I felt it essential to bring this topic up. Before we get into all of this, please know that I have the utmost respect for the 3Speak team and I will continue to support the app regardless of what the beneficiary % is. However, over the years I have learned that voicing your opinion is vital for optimum functionality. This can often mean giving/receiving some harsh criticism, but the truths must be told. Let's have a closer look at how 3Speak currently operates.
As of right now, Hive rewards are set to a 50/50 split between authors and curators. You may not know this, but that used to be a 75/25 split tilted towards the creator.
As you can see here:
I believe that the 50/50 split is a better option for Hive at large and curators surely are loving those extra rewards.
The same 50/50 split still applies when posting on 3Speak instead of something like PeakD or Hive.blog (which both take 0%). There is one major difference with 3Speak, they also carry an additional 11% cut from your half of the rewards. This means you are dropped down below 40% in total. That is a drastic dip from the former 75%.
You can see the current 3Speak beneficiary settings here:
So not only do the 3Speak accounts get a cut from the curation rewards, but they are also getting a cut of the author rewards. 3Speak is not the only app to do this. You can find the same over on Vigilante.tv and other apps like D.tube. It seems pretty normal to everyone and most just accept it, but is it a trend that we really want to continue as we further explore what Web3 is going to be?
Then when you look at another Hive app Liketu, you will notice that they only take 1% beneficiary.
See here:
This is much more respectable and I think this app is setting a better precedent for beneficiary rewards.
What givesโ The question I ask today is...
What justifies this 11% beneficiary?
I'm not jumping to conclusions and thinking that it is entirely unneeded. I am definitely curious to know what exactly all of those extra rewards go to. Is it development? Advertisement? Paying employees? Or something else entirely?
It feels pretty harsh giving away 11% of our rewards for every single video that we post to 3Speak. Especially when the app's userbase isn't huge yet, it has many bugs and often goes down for a few hours, and they still don't offer a 4K upload option.
I could easily upload my videos to YouTube and then embed them in my post so that I don't lose that 11% and have the 4K option. I of course have chosen not to do that, but not everyone is making that same choice. I know of at least a few people who never post on 3Speak and some of them have specifically mentioned the overbearing beneficiary number as the underlying reason.
I think it's more important to see the number of actual users on 3Speak increase. Lowering the beneficiary to something closer to 5% could maybe be a wise decision for long-term growth and encouraging more people on Hive to switch from YouTube to 3Speak.
Who knows, maybe I'm totally wrong about all of this and every bit of that 11% goes to something that is vital for 3Speak. I would love to know the answer to this and that is why I made this video today.
I don't usually tag people, but to make sure the team sees this, I'm mentioning some of the 3Speak team members who I have interacted with in the past.
@eddiespino @starkerz @theycallmedan
What is your opinonโ I'm dying to know what everyone else is thinking about this. I know some will agree with me, but I figure some will disagree with me and I'm willing to hear everyone out. Leave a comment and let's discuss. Please try to keep things civil and look at things from multiple perspectives without assuming any certain thing. Hopefully, we get some comments from the team to tell us exactly why this 11% is the current setting.
I will continue to use 3Speak either way, but I think it would be pretty awesome if their team at least addresses this sometime soon. I am not demanding a change, more so recommending it to see if more people start posting and interacting on the platform.
Thanks for your time today. Feel free to reblog this for further reach and be sure to follow me if you aren't already.

Getting back to it โฒ๏ธ Wow! Last week really was special for so many reasons. I got to spend all of it with my family and we enjoyed being on the beach together tremendously. @flowerbaby got to go on her first family vacation with us and it was my first family trip since 2019. I am so happy we all were able to go as a group finally.
If you somehow didn't see all of my vacation posts, I have taken the liberty of creating a Collection on PeakD to make it easy to find all of my posts. I don't have many collections, so you should have no trouble finding them. However, I will also just place a link here so you are only one click away.
https://peakd.com/ccc/daltono/family-vacation-in-maryland-august-2022
Now that I'm back home I can get back to making my usual videos. After last week though, that is a bit more difficult to do than I had first imagined it would be. It seems as though my photography/story posts over on Liketu are much more popular than my videos on 3Speak. I'm pretty sure it is just because reading an article is easier than consuming an entire video. This is especially true if English is not one's primary language. It is a lot easier for users to copy and paste my writing into a translator than it is to listen to me talk and try to figure out what it is that I said. Plus, some people really enjoy getting the chance to peer into my personal life I suppose.
I've also decided that instead of posting every evening, I will be posting in the morning now. It seems that many more people are online during my morning time. I've noticed that engagement seemed to be a lot better when I post in the morning. However, that could also just be because people enjoyed my Liketu posts more than 3Speak. I guess we will have to see how my first week back home goes. I plan to still post on Liketu more often, but I will alternate between there and 3Speak.
I saw so many new people show up to comment something nice on my posts last week. I was thrilled to find out that many were able to enjoy some of our best vacation moments and read my stories about everything that we did last week. On top of that, upvote support was insane and I honestly think it was my best week on Hive ever. This is proof that posting only once a day is better than multiple times a day, at least in most cases. I'll have to go over the numbers in great detail once everything is paid out and I have that info on HiveStats. You never know, things could change until then since there are 7 days to adjust post rewards.
Speaking of post rewards, I have another video coming tomorrow where I will be discussing something a bit controversial about 3Speak. Obviously, it is my video platform of choice, but there are still some things I don't love about it. I look forward to sharing my take on this mystery topic centered around 3Speak tomorrow. Be sure to drop by again to see what I have to say.
I hope that you enjoy today's video. I got my replacement mic in, so audio should be better than ever.
Thanks for reading and watching!

Finally time for another family beach trip โ๏ธ๐๐ด Today is my last full day at home for the next week. My girlfriend and I are leaving tomorrow morning to start our drive to the beach in Maryland. We are stopping a bit past halfway in Hagerstown, MD to stay in an Airbnb. That means Saturday we will be arriving in Ocean City, MD to check into the place that we found on VRBO. There, we will meet my mom, dad, and their Pomeranian named Fritzy. My brother, his fiance, and their Dachshund named Littleton will also join us.
I've looked forward to this trip for many months now. It is going to be great to have another family vacation finally. The last time that we all got to travel together like that was in 2019. That was before I had even met @flowerbaby yet, so this will be her first vacation with all of them.
We plan to spend a lot of time on the beach, but we will be doing many other things too no doubt. I will do my best to capture many photos and hopefully even some videos too.
With that being said, my normal posting routine will be disrupted while I am gone. I will still try to be around some, but nowhere near as much as usual. I wanted to discuss what exactly I plan to do here in today's video.
Luckily, I have an older MacBook Pro that I can use in place of my new M1 iMac while I am gone. It may not be quite the beast that I have grown used to here at home, but it runs really well now. I spent a lot of time yesterday restoring it to factory settings and making sure that all that was on it was Photoshop, iMovie, Google Chrome with Hive Keychain, and a few crypto wallets. I now have enough hard drive space to actually use the thing, if it is needed at all while I am on vacation.
I hope that you enjoy today's video and can feel the excitement that I have for this trip. This is very much needed and I just cannot wait to be there. Only a few more days until I have my toes in the sand again and can dive into some waves all day long.
Thanks for watching!

Don't work yourself too hard ๐ Today's topic may feel like a silly question at first glance, but believe me when I say there are definitely people pondering whether or not they are putting too much effort into their content for too little reward. Some even consider giving up regularly.
If money is the only goal, then you are going to be disappointed quite often. It will be easy to start feeling like you put in too much effort if one of your post payouts is low after 7 days.
However, if you get genuine enjoyment out of creating content, then I doubt you will really ever feel like you are putting forth too much effort during the creation process.
As long as you are creating things that you are passionate about, you are going to want to go 100% every time.
Some of us don't have quite as much free time as others, but there is always a way to manage time in a certain way so that you can not get lazy with your work.
Sometimes all our bodies and minds need is a brief rest. Don't be afraid to take a day off and come back stronger the next time.
I think this discussion is an interesting one and I'm sure there will be people on both sides of the fence. During this stage of Hive, some people feel left out, but they must learn that it takes time to build a foundation for abundance.
Leave your comments and thoughts below. I will be ready and replying to all as usual.

PlayStation gaming is on the go again ๐ฎ After anxiously waiting all weekend, my Backbone One PlayStation Edition has arrived. I've been able to spend some time with it and I wanted to give a nice overview of everything that it can do.
Overall I am really impressed with this mobile controller option for iPhone. There will be an Android version released sometime this fall.
As many things as I love about the Backbone, there are a few things that I don't love about it. It is not perfect and it is $100. This mobile controller may not be for you if you are on a budget. However, for somebody looking to splurge, this is a must-have accessory.
In today's video, I will start by showing you a quick unboxing. Then we will get this thing in action and I'll show you how games play, what the Backbone app interface is like, and of course how to set it all up.
If you are interested in purchasing one of these for yourself, visit https://playbackbone.com/playstation/.
You may also want to check out my first post about Backbone One PlayStation Edition. In it, you will learn even more about this awesome new device, which is officially licensed by PlayStation.
I'll include the YouTube version of that first video below.
This one has actually turned out to be one of my best-performing YouTube videos ever. I guess there are a lot of people looking this thing up and not a ton of reviews out for it yet.
Comment any questions that you have below. I will be happy to give you answers.
Thanks for watching!

Take profitsโ๏ธ Today is another great day to be involved with HIVE. Maybe you are somebody like me who bought these tokens when they were heavily undervalued (they still are, just not quite as much). I stacked up quite a bit of HIVE at prices ranging from $0.12-0.45. To see us already about to be back at the $1 mark is pretty amazing. This seems like an excellent time to take at least a little bit of profit. HIVE is outperforming so many other assets right now. We continue to rise and are now at the Top 100 market caps. I don't want to sell all of my liquid right now because we never know when will be the time that HIVE just keeps going and going, without ever looking back again.
I have made a couple of trades during the past 24 hours using https://stealthex.io/. I sold a stack of 3,000 HIVE last night for around $0.75. I woke up early this morning to see the price had jumped even higher to $0.96 and I immediately sold 1,706 more HIVE when it was at $0.95. Sadly, that transaction didn't work out quite as well. Due to not having the option of a fixed rate at the time, my floating rate was adjusted all the way back down to $0.82. I was pretty pissed this happened, but at the same time, I'm also just really happy to see HIVE popping off like this on another day where most other cryptocurrencies are stagnant or in the red.
Anybody who took advantage of the recent HBD pump and bought HIVE with that extra value is probably taking even more profits right now. I'm hyped for anybody who played all of this that well. Using $3 HBD to buy $0.50 HIVE and then sell that same HIVE for nearly $1 not even a week later. That is a significant gain scenario right there. I was able to get a decent bit of BTC, which will help out tremendously during my vacation next week. Being patient and believing in HIVE to grow is paying off in a big way.
In today's video... I will share my excitement for this HIVE pump and talk in greater detail about why exactly one of my StealthEX transactions failed. Luckily, I didn't lose any funds, I just got slightly less of a profit and in turn, learned yet another lesson. We are all learning as we go with crypto and no matter how much experience I do have, there is just so much experience that I still don't have yet.
Hopefully, you can gain something from watching this video and perhaps learn to not make some of the same mistakes that I have.
One thing that certainly wasn't a bad decision was continually buying HIVE when everybody else was selling. It sure feels great to be in such a good position now.
Bear market? What is that?
Leave a comment and let me know how you are feeling about this HIVE pump.

A chill weekend ๐ ๐โพ๏ธ It has been crappy weather here during the past week. Finally, @flowerbaby and I had a clear day yesterday and were able to get outside and do some things together. We ate a lot of good food, relaxed at the pool, went shopping for clothes and essential oils, and went to a baseball game.
It was at the game that we saw quite possibly the most gorgeous sunset ever.
It turned out to be a great day overall and I'm glad we got to spend time together doing things that we both enjoy.
In today's video, I just wanted to talk in further detail about everything that we did yesterday. Hopefully, you enjoy this style of video which is more personal and less informative than my usual videos.

Get some damn sleep ๐ด Last night wasn't the best of nights in terms of rest. I woke up this morning reminded of the many years I spent working the graveyard shift, which was indeed pushing me to dig my own grave. The lack of sleep back then really put a damper on my overall performance and ability to experience life. I even got in a couple of car accidents thanks to my inability to sleep like a normal person. My circadian rhythm used to hate me, but now I am doing much better.
In today's video, I want to share some of my own personal experiences with sleep deprivation. Hopefully, this will wake you up to the fact that sleep is one of the most important things in our lives. Getting away from a job that forced me to stay up until late into the morning was one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I was a zombie during that period of my life and it is no wonder that I made many mistakes during that time.
Leave any comments you have about sleep practices down below. I am always happy to share tips on how to develop a better sleeping routine. Plus I love hearing about cool dreams, so if you have any feel free to share them.
Thanks for watching!

The closest thing to a new mobile PlayStation ๐ฎ If you're like me and have been wishing that Sony would bring back their mobile console options, then today you are getting at least a tad bit of relief from that stress. This may not be a new PSP or PS Vita, but it should get the job done for your mobile PlayStation needs.
PlayStation unveiled a surprise collaboration with Backbone this week.
https://playbackbone.com/playstation/
This is the same Backbone One that many gamers have come to know and love, except this one is tailored to fit in perfectly with PlayStation's white and black aesthetic it has going with the PS5 hardware. It comes with different buttons and it even has a PlayStation logo on the back.
This thing is downright sexy, which made it very difficult to avoid purchasing. Even at the $100 price point, I ordered one as soon as I saw they were a thing.
This version is for iPhone only right now, with an Android version coming later in the fall.
The controller will be aimed directly at mobile gamers of all types. It works especially well for PS Remote Play.
The controller runs off your phone's battery, but luckily there is a charging port so you can charge your phone while playing. There is also a 3.5mm headphone jack for audio (and maybe chat too).
This means you can control your PS5/PS4 from anywhere that you have a WiFi or cellular connection.
A minimum of 5mb/s is recommended and of course, you need your console at home to be on a very stable network.
Watch my video today for even more information and footage of what the new Backbone One PlayStation Edition is like. I will be doing a full review on this thing once it arrives sometime next week, just in time for me to go on vacation.

Looking out for others and not just yourself ๐ค Today's video is straight to the point and you will either agree or disagree with me, not really much in between.
I am somebody who has self-voted the majority of my posts since I first created my account back in December of 2017.
During the past two months, I have not voted on any of my own posts.
You would think that rewards would decrease because of this, but they have largely stayed the same and even increased on some days.
I'm not here to tell you what to do, but I think I have some solid advice.
Watch my latest video for more insight as to why you really don't need to self-vote.
Also, remember that if you choose to self-vote, I don't hate you. You do you!

PlayStation keeps rewarding its PS Plus Subscribers ๐งง Ever since the PS Plus Essential/Extra/Premium tiers dropped a little over a month ago, subscribers have been concerned that the three free PS Plus Essential games each month may start to suck.
That totally has not been the case. In fact, August 2022 is looking to be one of the best months in quite a while if the leaks from DealLabs are true (which they are 99% of the time). We should know for sure at some point today and they will become available early next week.
I was able to edit this info in before posting, but my video was recorded before the announcements were confirmed.
We just got official word from PlayStation that this is indeed the lineup for August 2022.
Last month was pretty awesome too, with Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time and Arcadegeddon both being games that were well received. Somehow PlayStation has managed to outdo last month with three more great titles.
We are supposed to be getting Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 Remake (PS4/PS5), Yakuza Like A Dragon (PS4/PS5), and Little Nightmares (PS4). Those first two games still go for $20-25 when they are on sale and both have excellent reviews. It is surprising that PS didn't give us Little Nightmares 2 instead of the first one though, especially because Little Nightmares 1 is included with PS Plus Extra/Premium already.
Bonus Info ๐จ More Yakuza games will be coming to PS Plus Extra/Premium this year. Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, and Yakuza Kiwami 2 will become available sometime in August. Then Yakuza 3 Remastered, Yakuza 4 Remastered, Yakuza 5 Remastered, and Yakuza 6: The Song of Life will be out sometime before 2023. More info about the Yakuza announcement can be found on blog.playstation.
PlayStationVR2 UI and more specs ๐ฅฝ Over on blog.playstation we were given our first glimpse of what the user interface will look like with the next iteration of the PSVR. It is looking like this is going to be one of the best VR options once it releases, especially since Meta Quest 2 just increased the price of their headsets by a whopping $100! This could be PlayStation's chance to steal the VR spotlight.
Other games to look out for ๐ฎ Towards the end of this video, you will see some Far Cry 6 gameplay. A game that is currently on sale for under $30 on the PS Store (so is Grid Legends). The co-op features in FC6 will get you prepared for the new Saints Row game releasing on August 23, which has full co-op support with character and story progression saving for both players (unlike Far Cry 6).
Comment your thoughts about this gaming news ๐ฃ There is something for every PlayStation gamer in my video today. If you are hyped, let me know and we can chat about how awesome gaming in 2022 is.
Thanks for watching another one of my videos today ๐

Hone is fixing my hormones ๐ฉโโ๏ธ It has been just over 3 months since I first started my hormone therapy with https://honehealth.com/. I have to say that the whole experience has been pretty great. I am very excited to share my most recent blood test results so that you can see just how much all of this stuff has done for my body.
As you see in the title of this video, my main goal to increase my free testosterone levels has been a huge success. However, with that has come increased estrogen levels. Luckily this is something that can be adjusted and I will explain our new action plan in today's video.
It looks like now I will be pairing my Clomid prescription with Anastrozole. If you have never heard of either of those two things, be sure to watch my video so I can explain it all to you. I have even included my entire virtual doctor appointment so you can see exactly how all of this stuff plays out.
Other posts about my experience with Hone Health โ I've posted a couple of other times about this whole process. If you are looking for more information about Hone, then these next two posts will be a lot of help for you.
I will continue to update on my progress as more months pass. I will be doing a new blood test every 3 months to make sure what we are doing is doing what my body needs.
Hone Health allowed me to test my hormone levels from the comfort of my home

Thanks for watching my video ๐ค I hope that you were able to get something out of all of this. I am happy to be feeling so good but also hope that this may inspire some other people to take control of their hormones and start feeling better about life too.
Leave any comments or questions below and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Waking up to surprising gains ๐ I was met with quite the surprise this morning when I got out of bed. I saw that HBD prices had increased from the typical range of $1 all the way up to $3 for a brief period. This brought HIVE up quite a bit as well, from around $0.40 to $0.56. All this while BTC and the rest of the crypto market were in the red again.
This type of movement is totally unpredictable and I find it hard to believe that anybody in crypto is able to call massive fluctuations like this accurately. There are many that claim to have a method, but I think crypto is a lot like baseball where the best batting averages are barely above .300. I am saying that you would be very lucky/skilled to be correct about crypto price predictions of only 30% of the time. That means the majority of the time we are wrong and most of us are nowhere near batting .300 of course.
When I see HBD increase in value like this, it tells me that HIVE almost certainly has to go up with it. A lot of users here go to sell/convert their HBD to HIVE when it strays away from its stabilized position. Some may decide to sell into BTC or other tokens, but very few will just keep their HBD sitting there. Some may be stuck waiting 3.5 days for their HBD to withdraw from savings, if so they will probably miss out on the quick pump. Usually, these are short-lived, but again you never really know what will happen.
In today's video, I wanted to go over what moves I made upon seeing this pump had occurred. I didn't have any HBD to sell for HIVE, so I missed out there. I decided to sell a bit of HIVE using https://stealthex.io/ and then top up my https://crypto.com/cards so I have some extra money to use during my family beach vacation in a couple of weeks. Plus we will talk about how much Crypto.com has changed their debit card since I first signed up for mine by staking with them last November. It has been one of the worst investments ever and I mostly blame the changes on this massive downturn that we are still undergoing in crypto, but also on overspending during their marketing frenzy.
After watching my new video, feel free to leave your comments below. If you're hyped about another HIVE/HBD pump, let me know. If you have questions about anything mentioned I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for watching another one of my videos!

An important question to ask yourself early ๐ง This isn't the first time I have asked myself this question. Revealing everything about yourself on Hive comes with risk and responsibility. Right now it may not seem like much since there are only around 20k active users on Hive. However, things might look vastly different once there are millions of active accounts and every single person has the ability to look at your wallet and see how much money you have.
This decision comes down to a battle between privacy and transparency. Blockchains are well known for making data visible to everyone involved and not just centralized powers. There are however privacy blockchains such as Monero that allow users to move their funds without having to worry about who is watching their activity.
Then there is Hive, a place where you can be totally open to everything, or a place where you lurk in the shadows. There are many anonymous accounts on Hive, some are even whales and hold massive amounts of Hive Power. These individuals are obviously not okay with everyone knowing full details about their financial prowess.
We all have reasons for whether or not we choose to be anonymous on Hive. I do want to say that I think you can still be a valid community member and even a community leader without revealing your identity. Decentralized Web 3 is supposed to be trustless, so seeing someone's face and knowing where they live shouldn't change anything. Just look at the recent news about Three Arrows Capital and how the founders (who doxxed themselves) have run off with billions of dollars of customer funds. That right there should tell you that just because someone isn't anonymous, does NOT mean they are someone that you can trust or find.
Watch the video ๐ In today's video, I wanted to take the time to discuss this topic in depth. There are many different things to consider when it comes to whether or not you are anonymous on Hive. There is no one way to do this and I advise that you make your own decision about this type of thing and stay aware of how our environment evolves over the next several years.
Below I will link my older blog that I mentioned in the video where I give you even more written information about anonymity on Hive.
"Are you comfortable with your wealth being 100% visible to the public?"

Thanks for watching my video today and be sure to leave your thoughts below in the comments. I am looking forward to talking about this important topic with my friends here on Hive throughout various communities such as LeoFinance and 3Speak.

Let's binge-watch together ๐ If you have been trying to find some new tv shows to watch or perhaps a movie or two, then you've come to the right place today. It is almost the end of July 2022 and there are so many good things to watch, as always. I am here to help you narrow down the selection and find something worth your time. These options are all spread out over different streaming platforms, so hopefully, you have at least one of them.
In today's video, I will be talking about five different tv shows and one movie that I think are all worth checking out, Each one is totally different than the other, so there should be something for everyone here. I have included trailers in the video, but there is also a brief explanation of each one down below.
Resident Evil (Netflix) Nearly three decades after the discovery of the T-virus, an outbreak reveals the Umbrella Corporation's dark secrets. Based on the horror franchise. Source
Alone (Netflix) Ten survival "experts" attempt to survive alone in remote locations. The winner receives $500,000. Source
Seeking Sister Wife (Prime Video) Seeking Sister Wife documents the lives of polygamist families who are in various phases of seeking, dating or transitioning a new sister wife into their lives. Source
The Anarchists (HBO Max) It showcases a series of events that unfold over six years surrounding a group of anarchists in Acapulco, Mexico, and Anarchapulco. An impulsive one-time gathering turns into an annual event and begins to help spread worldwide cryptocurrency adoption. Then the murder happens.Source
American Horror Stories (Hulu) An anthology series of stand-alone episodes delving into horror myths, legends, and lore. This is a spin-off of the original American Horror Story series.Source
The Gray Man (Netflix) When the CIA's most skilled operative-whose true identity is known to none-accidentally uncovers dark agency secrets, a psychopathic former colleague puts a bounty on his head, setting off a global manhunt by international assassins. Source
What are you watchingโ Anybody else been watching any of what I mentioned today? If not, maybe you will after hearing what I had to say about them. One thing is for certain, there is no shortage of quality film these days. It may be difficult to keep up with all of these different streaming platforms, but if you love movies and tv then you will find a way to stay up to date.
Leave a comment and let me know what you think about all of these. Feel free to mention other new movies and tv shows that I should watch. I am always looking for the next cool thing to see.
Thanks for watching today!
I've written about other movies and tv shows in the past, in fact, I have an entire collection with all of those posts which you can view here: https://peakd.com/ccc/daltono/movies-and-tv-shows

A PlayStation Store shopping spree ๐ธ I felt the need to splurge on some new games this week. The PS Store has a nice sale going on which allowed me to pick up a couple of games for right now. I also went ahead and preordered three other upcoming titles which I knew I was going to buy at launch anyway.
I purchased Grid Legends and Raji: An Ancient Epic Enhanced Edition. I also preordered Saints Row, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and God of War Ragnarรถk.
Some people are not okay with the whole preordering option. They say there is no point in giving gaming companies your money before you even see how a game reviews. In some cases, this is a valid argument, such as the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. There are other games that come out playing great and are worth the full price right away. Plus there are often bonuses to preordering such as early access to the game or extra in-game content. It is nice to already have your game installed as soon as it is available to play too. It is a bit of a gamble these days because you never know which game will come out in shambles, but I think preordering is quite often a risk worth taking.
I commented on a new Saints Row gameplay video on YouTube recently. I was just talking about how I preordered the game and some person went absolutely nuts about me doing that (screenshots are in my video). They thought I was helping to totally ruin the entire gaming industry just by preordering. I of course thought the person was most likely mentally unstable to be that triggered by my actions. It was pretty hilarious and it gave me the idea to make this video.
In today's video, you can expect to see some gameplay of every game that I purchased, totaling $250 worth of games. I will also talk about why I was interested in all of these titles and perhaps give you a reason to check them out yourself. I will explain why I purchased some before they were even released and others many months after their launch.
If you are a fan of gaming, you most likely will enjoy today's video a lot. Let me know what you are thinking after you finish by leaving a comment below. Are you hyped for any of these upcoming titles?

Don't forget your forearms โ ๏ธ Anybody who is into strength training should be putting some tremendous focus on their forearm workouts. This is one of the most common areas of the body that is neglected during training. It also happens to be one of the most important areas when it comes to getting blood to flow throughout the body efficiently. If you struggle to get a pump, it is probably because you have weak forearms. Let's work on changing that starting today.
People love to train their upper arms, I know I do. You can only get so far with your biceps and triceps when you forget about your forearms. Your grip strength will suffer and this will start to create muscle imbalances. You do not want that. This is why you are going to benefit a lot from my forearm fitness routine video today.
These exercises are not crazy advanced, but with consistent effort, you will see results. Not only will you start to see veins popping out in your arms, but you will notice every other exercise starts to become easier when your forearms are in good shape. Vascularity is cool, but overall health and strength is the main goal here.
Without me adding too much more writing, I'll let you get to the video and see each one of these exercises in action. I have taken the time to show you exactly what I am doing to train my forearms. I will be honest, I just started focusing on them more here lately and aim to train them at least 3-4 times a week. The forearms are used to being under constant use, so their recovery rate is much higher than other muscles.
Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions about any of the exercises mentioned.
Also you can check out https://alphagripz.com/ if you want to purchase the finger resitance equipment that I was using. You can find other brands on Amazon.

Time to get frisky ๐ The anticipation for Stray to be released by Annapurna Interactive was ongoing for two years. As soon as the teaser trailer was unveiled, everyone wanted to play the game where you get to be a cat in a cyberpunk world filled with robots. As of July 19, 2022, the game has finally come out and it is time to play.
PlayStation and PC gamers are the only ones that have access to Stray as of now. If you are a PS4 or PS5 user, you can actually get the game for free at the moment. As long as you have PS Plus Extra or Premium. PC users will have to pay $30, which is a fair price for such an amazing experience.
Stray isn't the longest game ever, in fact, it is pretty short. However, every single thing that is included within the brief 12 chapters is polished and very well worth your time. I did not encounter one single bug during my 5-hour playthrough of the entire story. Yes, I beat Stray in one single day. I promise you that it is still very worth your time, despite its shortness in length.
In my video today, I want to show and tell you everything that you need to know about Stray. Without any spoilers of course. Although Stray isn't quite what I was expecting, it is such a fun little game and something that I believe any gamer or animal lover should experience. It definitely nails the whole "be a cat" thing and I just had so much fun exploring this interesting world from a cat's perspective.
๐ป Are you hyped to finally be able to play this game? Are you stuck waiting for it to come to Nintendo or Xbox? Hopefully, that ends up happening, but no guarantees yet. Personally, I would love to see some DLC for Stray, as I feel the game ended kind of abruptly.
Leave a comment and let me know what you are thinking. I'm down to talk any and everything Stray. Enjoy the gameplay and thanks for watching!

Crypto is the theme of Episode 2 ๐ค The second episode of The Anarchists on HBO Max was released this week. To my surprise, they mentioned Steemit multiple times and even showed screenshots of people's blogs where I saw many familiar names.
HBO Max has around 77 million subscribers worldwide, so that is a lot of people that could potentially become interested in cryptocurrency for the first time thanks to this new show.
It is painful to see Steemit on a show that has the potential to be very popular, especially since pretty much everybody on Hive knows what happened over there. I find it hard to imagine very many people will take the time to do the research and find out that https://hive.io/ is now the place to be.
Getting crypto in the eyes of so many people like this has to be a good thing. My girlfriend for instance has been loving this show and she had zero interest in cryptocurrency before it. She has been learning quite a bit from the show and I imagine many others will too. Now I can't say it's pushed her to go out and create her own Bitcoin wallet or anything, but at least she is becoming more familiar with the topic. I think that she is most interested in the drama aspect of the show than anything.
Speaking of drama, there is a lot of it in this docu-series. All of these anarchists start to gather in Acapulco, Mexico and they have similar ideas but are very different people. Things go well for a while, but eventually, turmoil develops and separation between many of the different group members ensues. You can tell that a lot of these people in the show really just do not like each other.
I am hoping that as more episodes are released, they will eventually get into the fact that pretty much everyone that used to be on Steemit is now over here on Hive. I don't have high hopes that they will mention Hive at all though, considering it is not really a part of this story outside of Jeff Berwick and his Vigilante.tv website that now runs on Hive.
If you are curious to learn more about all of this stuff, I have included in the video screenshots of most of the Hive usernames of all of the characters in the show. This will allow you to look back on all of their old blogs and get insider info that maybe wasn't in the show. They were posting about all of this stuff as it was happening, but have since disappeared from the platform, besides Jeff Berwick.
Are you into this showโ I'm curious to know how many other people here on Hive have been watching these episodes as they release each week. For me here in the USA, we get one new episode each Sunday at 10 pm ET.
If you have watched everything so far, what are you thinking? Were you as surprised as I was to see them not only mention Steemit but also explain it a decent bit and continually show screenshots of people's blogs?
Do you remember when all of this stuff was going down in the 2015-2020 range?
Leave a comment below and let's talk about The Anarchists.

No shortage of things to do ๐ ๐ ๐ป My weekends are usually pretty busy with @flowerbaby. We always find something to do and this most recent weekend was another one where we did a bunch of different things together.
In this video, I want to talk about and show you a bunch of the fun things we did during the past two days.
There is quite a mixture of stuff and I'll give you a brief summary of what to expect...
๐ด Food at one of our favorite restaurants Oscar's.
โซ๏ธ Finding some cool shirts at discount stores. I got a WV shirt, Gears of War, and Houston Astros. She got a Toronto Raptors shirt and a few other things.
๐ต Our first time trying The Peach Cobbler Factory in Huntington.
โช๏ธ Watching the Midwest Modifieds Tour at Ona Speedway.
๐ด Hannah's dog Juno got groomed and now looks better than ever.
โซ๏ธ We went on a double date and drank a few beers with friends.
I hope you enjoy the video and getting to see some of what we did this past weekend together. I had a blast and I am glad I have somebody to do fun things like this with.
Leave a comment and let me know what you did for your weekend.

It is okay to sign off ๐จ๐ปโ๐ป There is no denying that pretty much every single person these days spends a significant amount of time on their tech devices. Some are more addicted than others, but the fact is we all have gotten used to our phones and computers. There are ways to make use of these things in a positive manner, but often times we develop some unhealthy habits.
Apple's products have a feature called Screen Time, which tracks how much you are on your phone/computer on an app-by-app basis. Android has something similar where they track your daily device usage. I'm sure Windows offers something capable of the same.
If you are not using any of these tracking options, ask yourself why. Is it because you are embarrassed by how much you scroll on your phone? Did you not know these features existed? Or do you just not care and don't feel the need to set any restrictions?
Sometimes we may not realize how much time passes by while online. You can set your device to remind you if you have been on it for too long and it can even go as far as locking you out of specific apps if you just cannot stop yourself.
Here on Hive, you can think of many excuses as to why it is important to be online. I agree, that getting on daily is hugely beneficial to both you and the community. However, I do not think that means you should be online all day every day. You must find a way to balance living with using your favorite tech.
I have quite a strong opinion about all of this and I am not one bit shy to share all of my thoughts in my video today. Let me know if you agree or disagree with me. I'm curious how much everyone's screen time is. If it is only a few hours daily, I think you are doing well. If it is over 8 hours each day, maybe it is time to reconsider how you are making use of your time.

The balancing act โ๏ธ๐ญ There is no doubt that my routine throughout the week is extremely productive. I have a slot of several hours each morning where I am able to record, edit, design, and write for my daily videos on Hive. Even with doing all of that, I still somehow have time for many other things.
The weekends are a slightly different story. Although there is still some time, I also have other things that I wish to do and it is stuff that I typically am not doing through the week.
Let me explain...
My girlfriend @flowerbaby is usually off of work during the weekends, so I spend most of my time with her. She doesn't like to wake up quite as early as me, which means she also likes to stay up later. I love getting up at 6:30 am every day and then having all morning to work, but I also feel terrible being ready to fall asleep by 10 pm on the nights when we are together. We usually get into things together throughout the day and spend time relaxing during the evening by watching a movie or tv show together.
My videos usually take me from around 4 or 5 hours to finish. A lot of that time is spent adding various custom graphics that I design, video clips, or maybe some funny gifs. I could easily cut down how long it takes for me to produce a solid video by not adding all of that extra flair. Some may enjoy it and others might find it annoying. I personally really like the added personal touch and I think it provides more enjoyment and insight about the things I choose to talk about each day.
With that being said, I think I can still offer a really good video without all of the extra stuff.
This is what I plan to do on the weekends to allow myself more time with the ones I love. I will still be putting all of the pizzaz into my video through the week, but the ones on the weekend will be slightly less fancy.
Hopefully, you will find a way to enjoy my content either way and I think that being transparent about this rather than just being randomly inconsistent is important.
This will all come into play even more whenever I go on my next one-week vacation from August 5-12. This time I am headed to Ocean City, MD with my girlfriend, parents, and my brother and his fiance. We will have a few dogs with us too. Really anytime that I'm traveling I will have to find a way to adjust my videos.
I have contemplated what I will do in terms of content while I am gone. I have a few options:
1๏ธโฃ Keep posting as usual and spend too much time working rather than with my family.
2๏ธโฃ Don't post at all while I'm gone.
3๏ธโฃ Post every other day and spend half as much time each morning with my work.
4๏ธโฃ Post low-quality junk that is easy.
5๏ธโฃ Get a bunch of videos finished before I leave and schedule them to post on their own.
6๏ธโฃ Keep posting daily but make my videos much more concise and quicker to produce.
To me, option 6๏ธโฃ seems the best.
I do not want to miss out on having such an amazing place to record my videos on the beach each morning with the sunrise. I know I'm going to be in an even better mood than usual while there and this will enable me to craft some really awesome videos no doubt.
I won't be mad at myself if there is a morning where getting out to record and spending the time to edit my video slightly, write my post, and design my thumbnail is just too much. Some days may be busier than others. I have a feeling I will be the first to awaken each day and that will allow me to get a headstart, without spending too much time with work.
It will be difficult to resist adding a bunch of cool photos and videos from the things that we do together, but that kind of thing just takes so much time as I discussed earlier. I will most likely save up all of that kind of stuff for a recap video once I'm back at home.
Speaking of being away, I'll be stuck using my old and slow Macbook Pro while I'm gone. I've gotten so used to using my powerful M1 iMac, but I will have to deal with my slower computer in order to be able to do any work at all while I am gone.
One thing is for sure, I will not be giving up on providing quality videos for you all to watch.
Although some occasions may ask me to try to cut down the amount of time that I work, I will not ever stop completely. This stuff is part of my day and one of the many things that makes me as happy as I am. I feel accomplished each time I finish one of these and at this point, I think I may be addicted. As long as I find a way to manage this addiction, it can continue to be a healthy habit.
Let me know if this alters how you view my content OR if you are okay with not all of my videos being edited to the nines for your entertainment. I'm always willing to adjust and I want to try to do what is best for everyone here.
Thanks for any and all support, you all are the best!

Welcome to Web 2.5 ๐๐จ๐ปโ๐ป The idea that we are already within the age of Web 3 is a bit farfetch'd. For one, there are so many imitators announcing new applications that are disguised as Web 3, when in reality it's the same old centralized structure. Plus the Web 2 applications are still chugging along just fine. From some angles, it looks as though the population is thoroughly enjoying having their data used and abused by these tech giants. Yet, over in the shadows lurks a few true Web 3 options, such as Hive.
What is the difference between Web 2 and 3?
Web 2.0 is the current version of the web with which we are all familiar, while Web 3.0 represents its next phase, which will be decentralized, open, and of greater utility.Source
Web 2 includes apps (which are really just companies) such as Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, etc. They own your content and it can disappear in the blink of an eye. You also most likely will add a portion to the company's profit. Meanwhile, you are left out in the cold and most likely wondering why they get all of the benefits from your hard work. A select few may earn a decent income from these places and even less will earn large amounts of money. It all pales in comparison to the amount of cash that the companies are raking in on our behalf.
Web 3 looks to restructure this and offer creators and consumers the opportunity to get a fair slice of the pie. Coupled with the fact that you can finally own your own data and choose whether or not it will be visible to the world, rather than being deleted because you said something that someone didn't like.
I don't think that Hive will be the sole option for Web 3 socials, but I do imagine it becoming one of the main powerhouses in the future.
We need more users ๐คผโโ๏ธ Right now there isn't much of a fight going on between Web 2 and 3. Web 2 still dominates, despite all of its flaws. There are a handful of people who are ready to transition to Web 3 and are already in the process of doing so, but most people still cling to their old Web 2 profiles, because that is where the party is at right now. It would be wise to prepare yourself for the likely future of these companies no longer dominating once the majority of humanity realizes how hard we are getting screwed by them.
Although going back to using your Web 2 socials and promoting your Web 3 socials on there may feel like a nuisance, it is a necessary one for the time being. There wouldn't be many ways for people to learn about Web 3 if we didn't take the time to share the information on Web 2. I won't say that you will always have to do that, but for now, it is what Web 3 needs if we want to have any chance of the world adopting this new way of socializing online.
What do you thinkโ Are you still using these Web 2 apps? Do you have friends who refuse to create a Hive account? What is your plan to convince your friends and family that scrolling aimlessly on apps, which profit from you and give little to nothing back, is not the best use of our valuable time. It certainly is not going to be easy to transition this many people to something so foreign, but I think it's totally possible.
Let me know in the comments. I of course talk a whole lot more about all of this in the video, but I like to write a decent blog in case somebody prefers to read rather than watch. Either way, I think you for visiting my content and I'd be honored if you wanted to show some love.

Stronger than ever ๐ช๐๐ป It has been a few months since I last updated everyone on my fitness journey. Back in April was the most recent time I spoke of anything fitness-related. Since then, summer has started and I've been more consistent than ever. I usually hit the gym about 5 days a week, sometimes only 4, but occasionally 6. My strength has been increasing in all areas, and thankfully my weight has gone up too.
I've come a long way from being an underweight, unhealthy, and weak vegetarian. Learn more about that destructive journey in my other post.
Now that I've been eating an excessive amount of meat over the past few years, I have gone from 140lbs up to 192lbs. That is a significant increase and is by far the most that I have ever weighed. That may sound like a bad thing, but thanks to doing strength training since September of 2021, I have put on what I consider to be healthy weight. It has been a mixture of muscle and fat, both of which I'm proud to be carrying around now.
In today's video, I wanted to go over all of my new PRs (aka personal records). Also show you a few before and after pics mixed with some other things I've learned along the road. My max rep for all major exercises has elevated far higher than they ever have been in the past.
Here are my current numbers:
Watch my full video for even more insight on how I have been able to increase my strength consistently over the span of nearly a year. I have to shout out to my favorite fitness YouTube channel for giving me so many ideas for how I can work out effectively and safely.
https://www.youtube.com/c/athleanx
It is amazing to watch myself progress like this, even if I can't really see much difference in the mirror. The most important thing is that I am feeling fantastic and my confidence levels have skyrocketed.
You can see some of my other fitness posts here.
Thanks for stopping by to watch another one of my videos. If you feel motivated by my story, be sure to let me know. I would love to see my progress inspire other people to push hard to reach their true potential. I cannot wait to see where I am by the end of the year. I know that I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

iOS 16 Beta is out now ๐ฒ Apple released the beta versions of iOS 16 this week. This means that users with an iPhone 8 or newer will be able to access the latest update early. This is mainly meant for developers to prepare their apps, but regular users are also allowed to try the beta.
Visit https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram to sign up for access to the iOS 16 Beta.
I haven't downloaded the beta myself since I prefer a bug-free iPhone experience. I have however watched many videos and read several articles about all of the awesome new features coming to iOS 16.
Here is a video from Marques Brownlee where he goes over some of the top new features of iOS 16.
You can find even more information in this written article by 9To5Mac.
A few of the main things to get excited about with this new update are:
๐ Custom lock screens
๐ฌ The ability to un-send and edit iMessages
โจ๏ธ Haptic keyboard
๐ท Continuity camera
and most importantly...
๐ฟ Live Objects ๐คฉ
What to expect from my video ๐ฌ In today's video, I will talk a bit about these new features. I will then focus more on Live Objects and explain to you why this is going to be so revolutionary for graphic designers such as myself. I've included many different videos to show you exactly what to expect from iOS 16.
If you know anything about Photoshop, then you have probably heard of the lasso tool before. This is what you use to trace an object and remove the subject from its background to use in your creation. This works well but can be a very tedious process causing much frustration.
Live Objects is making this whole process so much easier. With a long press of the finger, you will be able to remove the subject from its background instantly. This means you can have a .png image with a transparent background, which can easily be used in Photoshop and other programs. This can be done with virtually any image, even if it wasn't taken on your iPhone.
Machine learning is what allows this to happen. Apple will have this feature before Android and be pioneers yet again. There are apps already out that you can use to do something similar, but they are nowhere near as polished and useful as iOS 16's Live Objects.
How excited are you for iOS 16โ Do you plan to test the beta? Or are you like me and just going to try to patiently wait until September for the full release? There are a ton of things to be hyped for in terms of iOS 16 features. Tell me which one you are looking forward to the most down in the comments. I have a feeling that other graphic designers will quickly understand just how massive Live Objects is going to be for us.
Thanks for stopping by to watch another one of my daily videos. Be sure to follow me for more content like this in the future.

July is jam-packed with great games for cheap ๐ฎ The continuous release of video games worth playing feels like a non-stop onslaught of reasons to stay glued to your controller. July 2022 is no different, as there are four different games that I want to talk to you about in my video today.
All of these are free on PlayStation, at least during the month of July. Some are free on other platforms as well, but a couple cost $30. You can find all of these games on PC, but only two of them can be played on Xbox.
We've got two brand new releases coming that I will start the video out with. Then the final two games are ones that are still fairly new and still underappreciated. I've got plenty of gameplay for you to enjoy for each of the games as I talk about why you are going to want to try all of these games out when you have the time.
I hope you enjoy the video. More written info on the games I mentioned in the video below.
Century: Age of Ashes ๐ฒ ๐ฐ
Century: Age of Ashes is a free-to-play dragon-riding aerial combat game. It has been out on PC for a while and just released on Xbox today. It will be out Tuesday, July 19th for PS4 and PS5.
Stray ๐ ๐ค
Stray is the much-anticipated game where you play as a cat in a cyberpunk world filled with robots and odd creatures. It will launch for free to PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers on PS4 and PS5. The only other place to play it is PC, where it costs $30. Both will be out on Tuesday, July 19th.
Vampire: The Masquerade โ Bloodhunt ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ ๐ฉธ
Bloodhunt is a free-to-play battle royale game that has been out on PS5 and PC for a few months now. The devs are adding a Team Deathmatch mode with an update that is releasing on Thursday, July 14th.
Arcadegeddon ๐พ ๐ซ
Arcadegeddon is a fast-paced third-person shooter with exciting gameplay and amazing EDM music. You can play it on pretty much everything except mobile and Nintendo Switch. It is priced fairly at $30. However, if you are a PS Plus subscriber of any level, you will be eligible to claim it for free during the month of July.
Which of these has your interest the mostโ I've already been playing a ton of Arcadegeddon, but I think I am most hyped for Stray. I'm very curious about Century: Age of Ashes and this new TDM mode coming to Bloodhunt, but I don't have my hopes too high for either of those since I may not be a big fan of either.
One thing is for certain, July is full of options for gamers on a budget.
Leave a comment below and let's talk about anything and everything gaming!

Endless ideas are buried within ๐ก It is not always easy to come up with your next great idea when it comes to creating blogs or videos. There are days when the ideas just will not come out. During times like those, I have found a solution that works well for me. Delta 8 edibles, yes I'm talking about cannabis.
If you have no idea what Delta 8 is, then I suggest that you check out my collection of posts explaining it all. After you have the basics, you will understand that here in the USA it is a weed option that is legal in the majority of states and it works extremely well.
Being high is good in most instances, but there are occasions when being in a normal state is preferred. I am not advocating using cannabis 24/7.
In today's video, I will explain how cannabis helps me come up with so many ideas. I will also contrast my habit of coming up with ideas while high versus staying laser-focused while unaltered.
To easily find all of my cannabis-related content, head over to https://www.weedcash.network/@daltono/.
I hope that you enjoy this video and be sure to let me know if you are a cannabis lover or if you have any questions. I have many new friends/followers here lately and many of you might not even know that I am such a big fan of cannabis.

The truth can hurt ๐ค Staying consistent with daily videos is no easy task, but I'm so happy to be doing it. I have been posting daily on Hive for nearly 5 years now. Throughout that period I have had my ups and downs. My motivation, engagement, rewards, and everything in between have all fluctuated quite a bit.
This past month, but especially this past week, has been my most rewarding time on Hive so far.
Not only because of payout amounts, but because people are actually watching my videos and leaving comments for me to reply to. I am seeing majority of people manually voting rather than just relying on auto votes. It is so much more satisfying to know that I'm not making all of this stuff for only myself and people are actually checking my stuff out when I release it.
You may wonder what made me decide to switch up my content style yet again. I have to thank @acidyo and @azircon for giving me some harsh critique on my work a month or so ago.
I wasn't able to take it positively right away, especially because I had just captured hundreds of photos during our beach trip and was excited to start sharing all of that on Liketu. I've still got a bunch of those saved up and maybe one day I'll share them or perhaps make a video talking about the trip and include a bunch of the best photos of @flowerbaby and I together in Florida.
After a few days, I realized that these two community leaders both were right about what I was doing. I had fallen into yet another slump and wasn't giving this Hive thing my full effort. I had to change up what I was doing and videos like this one were the answer.
I'm now back on track and doing better than ever thanks to these busy people taking time out of their day to give me their opinion. We must find a way to be able to find something positive about criticism towards ourselves. I know it isn't always pain-free, but you will grow from it.
I can say that since I've stopped being lazy with my content and really am putting in the most effort I possibly can, everything is much better. Just take a look at these graphs courtesy of @dalz for proof.
Not only have my rewards stayed about the same (even increased a tiny bit), but I am meeting so many amazing people who are commenting on my videos. I am getting to reward a variety of users just for interacting with me and I love it.
I even had the number one trending post on Hive the other day and I was totally ecstatic about that. That has only happened for me a couple of other times in the past and this one felt the best by far because I put so much into the video and know that it deserved to be up there.
Tweeting about all of my posts and earning some @poshtoken is another big part of all of this. That same trending post also did very well with impressions over on Twitter.
This allowed me to actually be the number one earner of POSH on that day. I'm pretty sure that is the first time it has happened for me since my Twitter following isn't very big.
I truly hope that my video today will allow you to understand that you are not always right and that is okay. Other people have different perspectives and can see things that you maybe cannot. Find the ability within you to not always throw up your shield and start going to battle as soon as somebody tells you something that you don't like. You can learn a lot from the opinion of others and who knows, maybe it will make you better than the person you were before they said something.
Thanks to everybody who is checking this post/video out. I appreciate you and hope that you liked it enough to follow me and perhaps even leave a comment down below.

You absolutely must play this one ๐พ๐ฎ July 2022's FREE PS PLUS titles were announced and I saw a game that I recognized called Arcadegeddon was included in the list. I had very briefly played the early access version of this game about a year ago. At the time, I was unable to get into it and gave up on it fairly quickly. That was a big mistake, but there is no better time to start playing than now. So many changes have been made and the state of the game now is fantastic.
Arcadegeddon is not free-to-play, at least not yet. Although as I mentioned, it is currently free to PS Plus gamers. This game is not on Xbox's Game Pass, however, you can purchase it for $30 on Xbox Series X/S and One. You have the same purchase option on PC, but it is only on Epic Games Store for Windows and is not available on Steam.
There really are only good things that I have to say about this game. It is such a blast to play for many reasons.
๐ The EDM soundtrack is full of high-caliber artists such as Svdden Death, Getter, Ray Volpe, UZ, AFK, and many more.
๐ The game is gorgeous, the environments are fun to explore, and everything flows at the perfect pace.
๐ซ There is a huge selection of weapons and leveling them up unlocks extra capabilities.
๐ธ Microtransactions are barely existent. So many cosmetic items are available to unlock just from gameplay alone.
๐น 4-player co-op with cross-platform support and the ability to link your Epic Games account to play on multiple platforms.
๐คฉ It's just plain fun to experience. The gunplay is energetic and requires skill and difficulty is continually increasing as you play, teamwork is essential.
Give this game a chance ๐ค I've given you a few reasons why I highly recommend Arcadegeddon, but you surely want to see what this game is actually like. If you watch my video at the top of this post, you will learn everything that you need to know about this game. I explain things in greater detail and show off each portion of this addicting game.
If I had to compare this to other games, I'd say it is a blend between...
Fortnite Zero Build in terms of gunplay, graphics, movement, and being third-person, but it is NOT a battle royale.
Call of Duty Zombies because of rounds becoming increasingly difficult and purchasing things during brief periods between rounds.
Destiny 2 PVE due to the boss fights and how the loot system works.
I loved all three of those games, so to see them blended together so well like this and then have a soundtrack of music that I would listen to at the gym every single day... Sounds like we are in business and this is the type of game I'd dream of existing.
Shoutout to @raizel For being in the squad with me during my best run so far. We hit over 1 million points and got thousands of kills. Great times bro!
The devs are none other than Illfonic.
They are also responsible for other games such as Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed and Predator Hunting Grounds. Arcadegeddon seems to be their most ambitious project thus far.
**If you are looking for more info, check out https://www.arcadegeddon.com/.
You can also find the soundtrack available to stream on Spotify. Volume 1 and Volume 2.**
Thanks for watching my video today and be sure to leave any questions or comments below, I will get back to you ASAP.

A world clinging to fear ๐ We all have been afraid to do something in our lives before. What is it that keeps us from doing things that we dream of doing? Our rulers have instilled quite a bit of fear in society. I like to think that it all boils down to the simple fact that we do not wish to feel pain.
What if pain ceases to exist... would fear disappear with it?
This is the question that I ask in today's video.
If you're enjoying my walk and talks, this is yet another interesting one. I think that the things I say will help you understand that fear isn't as powerful as many of us let it be.
After watching the video, leave your thoughts about it in the comments. I will get back to you and look forward to discussing this topic.
Thanks for watching and remember to follow me so you don't miss out on my future videos.

Finally somebody has done it right ๐ฐ๐ฃ If you have ever wondered what it would look like if somebody with a big following decided to migrate their userbase over to Hive, then you are in for a treat today.
Maybe you have already heard of Jeff Berwick and https://dollarvigilante.com/. You can love or hate the guy, but he uses Hive and is pushing others to do the same. What is not to like about that, unless you disagree with some of his opinions maybe.
Today's video isn't about who is right and who is wrong. I want to focus on what I learned in this post from @dollarvigilante that I found yesterday.
It looks as though there has been some slight rebranding and https://vigilante.tv/ has officially launched. This is a new video platform that is filled with loads of content creators who push for the truth and were banned from regular social media for being too controversial.
This already sounds cool, but it gets better. Vigilante.tv has decided to fully integrate Hive. Videos will earn rewards and comments can be upvoted to do the same. This was made possible thanks to @agorise and Hive-Tube, more info about that here.
You can easily log in with @keychain or @hivesigner. There is even a link to create a Hive account on https://signup.hive.io/. Hive is one of the main focuses of Vigilante.tv.
If you are wondering how rewards work, let me explain. All videos are posted by the account @tdvtv and then beneficiary rewards are given to the original authors of the video. If you do not create a Hive account, you forfeit your rewards. Here is a visual example:
This 10% seems fair to me, although at first I was worried that all of the rewards were going to @dollarvigilante. This is going to encourage all of these people posting videos to create a Hive account and start using it so that they don't miss out on their rewards.
There is a bit of concern over the fact that @tdvtv has to post so much due to how all of this is set up. As of right now, they barely have over 100 Hive Power. I feel like at some point, once Vigilante.tv/Hive sees more growth, they are going to need to power up a lot more to have enough resource credits to be able to post loads of videos every single day. I think it can work and hopefully, this will encourage them and others to power up their rewards.
Then on top of all of this, there is an HBO Max docu-series releasing this weekend called The Anarchists. It will feature Jeff Berwick among others and has the potential to be the next big thing going around social media due to the topic and its relation to the current world tensions. That means a lot of people are going to be looking up Jeff Berwick soon and they could potentially land on Vigilante.tv, which could mean they will end up joining Hive.
This is all pretty exciting stuff to me and I love the look and feel of Vigilante.tv. Using Hive for a custom website like this just seems like how things should be. I cannot wait to see who else will decide to do something like this. Now that it has officially been done, others will know that it is possible and likely be curious to do something similar.
Enjoy the video today and comment below what you think of all of this.

No easy task ๐๐๐ณ Before you get to excited about my video today, I must warn you. I DO NOT have a definite answer that will make sure that you are noticed by every single person. There just isn't a way to guarantee something like this.
I do however think that I will be able to provide you with several strategies today that will allow you to put yourself in a better place, perhaps even the spotlight.
Hive is yet to reach a number of users in the millions, so now is your chance to lay a solid foundation for a powerful future.
The main things to avoid are being annoying or posting spam on people's posts. Both of those are going to ruin any chances you may have had of a big curator visiting your content.
I'll leave you to watch the video if you wish to find out many different options for ways that you can go about getting attention on Hive. It's going to be slow at the start, but with consistent effort, you have a chance to succeed in a big way and make some solid connections.
Thanks for watching another video of mine and be sure to follow me if you aren't already. I post videos like this every single day, you don't want to miss what is coming soon.

Cater to the audience ๐ I've got about a month of daily 3Speak videos under my belt now. I have been enjoying making a video every single morning during this period. I keep a list of ideas in my notes and always come up with something new to talk about. Despite this abundance of ideas, I am asking for some recommendations today.
I am curious if there is anything specific that friends and followers wish for me to talk about. I'm pretty open to trying new things and will find a way to talk about pretty much anything.
Please leave your ideas and desires in the comments and I will see what I can do in terms of making something targeted at the topic that you want to hear about. I love doing Hive-related content and am happy to do more of it if that's what you wish. Maybe something else entirely that I have never covered before, I will do some research if needed.
Whatever it may be, leave a comment and let me know so I can add it to my list and start getting to work. I will be reading and replying to all comments as usual.

Far from perfect still ๐ ๐ฌ I've been using https://3speak.tv/ daily for about four weeks now and most of that has gone very well. A lot of things have improved since my last period of uploading videos to 3Speak. I no longer have problems getting videos to upload and encoding doesn't seem to take very long at all. The max file size has been boosted to 5GB and I can upload longer videos in 1080p with ease.
There is one major issue I've been having when trying to get my posts ready to go live and that has to do with the post scheduler. For the first week of my previous 20 or so videos, things went smoothly. Then all of a sudden a few days back, all of my videos stopped posting at the scheduled time which I had arranged. I am pretty sure it has to do with the devs switching which time zone the scheduler goes by, but why not just keep it in UTC so it's easier for everyone? It's been local time, then UTC, and now I honestly have no clue what time zone it goes by.
PeakD's post scheduler has always gone by UTC and I have never once had any problems with my posts going live too early or late. 3Speak should definitely look into matching this same type of consistency because scheduling is really beneficial when it works. I like for my videos to go live at the same time every day. There are many benefits to this which I discuss in today's video.
I hope that some people from the 3Speak team will be able to chime in here and let me know what exactly is going on. I know I'm not the only person having issues with videos not actually getting posted, I've seen a few people mentioning it in Discord as of late. Anyone with answers please feel free to comment on this post or message me on Discord.

Make the effort to stand out ๐ In a world full of simpletons and mere copies, why not do something to separate yourself from the herd? If you are going to put all of this effort into creating content, you should also give it an image that actually represents what your work stands for.
I believe that the better your thumbnail is for your post/video, the more likely it will be that you will find success in this world.
In this video today, I discuss the supreme importance of having a solid thumbnail as the foundation for achieving higher engagement with your content. I go over quite a bit and make some comparisons to other things that I believe will help you understand why this is a vital aspect of the creation process.
I mentioned several different websites and apps that you can use to create a good thumbnail yourself or perhaps even hire someone to do it for you. I am going to link all of those here so that it is easy for you to get started.
https://www.pixiteapps.com/apps/union/ (great mobile app for combining images)
https://www.canva.com/ (desktop and mobile app that is capable of creating logos and thumbnails)
https://unsplash.com/ (The internetโs source of freely-usable high-resolution images)
https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/ (best photo editing software)
https://www.fiverr.com/ (freelance marketplace where you can hire people to create thumbnails for you for cheap)
I also wanted to take the time to tag the users who I mentioned in this video so that others can check out their profiles easily:
@chinito
@taskmaster4450 / @taskmaster4450le
@dalz
@forexbrokr
@ykdesign
I think that you are all doing great things and you should be proud of your efforts. Hopefully, any criticism that you received can be taken positively and help improve your content even more.
Thank you so much to everyone for taking the time to view my work. Drop a comment and let me know what you think about the level of importance thumbnails hold in terms of content creation. I'm willing to have a discussion and even help you figure out how to get started with designing your own thumbnails to take your content to the next level.

You always have a way to reward ๐ Have you ever found an awesome post on Hive, only to realize that it is more than 7 days old and you cannot vote on it? Well, I suppose you can still send a vote through, but it will do absolutely nothing for the author. PeakD will alert you with a message giving you the recommendation to do something besides voting on an older post when you make that attempt.
As you can see, tipping and viewing other posts from the author are both good options. In today's video, I wish to talk in greater detail about both of those and also provide you with a few other options of ways to reward an older post.
Commenting can be just as rewarding as tipping or upvoting and I believe that what I have to share with you in my video today will allow you to realize this. Also, there is a bonus way to reward towards the end of this video and I think it is a pretty nifty idea.
After watching the video, let me know if you have any other ideas for ways that we can all support great work from the past. I can't tell you how many times I've had to look up some info about Hive and I found an ancient post with the answers to my questions. Just because it is old, does not mean that it should be forgotten.
Thanks for watching another video... Let's find ways to make our content timeless together!

Make the impossible possible ๐คฉ Today we are talking numbers. I know many of the LeoFinance community members are big into breaking down stats, I sure am. I've gathered a lot of information about my account and I wanted to take the time to go over all of it with you in this video.
If you'd have asked me when I first started if I ever thought that obtaining 100k HIVE was even remotely possible, I would have said no. For one, Hive didn't even exist yet and I was still struggling to obtain 500 SP just so I could unlock a vote slider. Times sure have changed since those early days of 2017.
I'm currently on pace to surpass 100k HIVE sometime in 2023, but I wanted to set myself a goal to make things even more enjoyable. I wish to achieve that massive number by the first day of 2023. This will be a laborsome task, but I believe it is within the realm of possibility for me to do. It will take continued consistency, some blessings, and maybe even a little bit of luck.
I'll give you a brief overview of some things that I discuss in the video, but the juicy bits and extra details will only be found if you watch.
*โ Currently have a little over 87k HIVE.
โ I earn around 1,700 HIVE monthly on average.
โ 15-20 HIVE daily from curation alone.
โ At my current pace, 13k more HIVE would take me 7.5 months.
โ With some good trades, I can cut it down to 6 months.
โ I would need to earn about 3,000 HIVE from trading.*
As you can see, I have a few hurdles to jump if I wish to knock this goal out in time. I am focused and remain confident that I can make this happen. If you believe in me, make sure to follow along so you can witness the journey. I've got tons more content like this coming down the pipeline.
Let me know in the comments what your own personal Hive goals are. I know that there are going to be all sorts of different numbers for everyone. A few are much further along than me. Others are just getting started. I think no matter which stance you are in, you must set some realistic goals and then work hard to make them happen.
Thanks for watching the video today if you did. Or if you just read all of this, I appreciate that too. Stay tuned for more.

Don't be afraid to experience life ๐คฉ I'm finally feeling back to my normal self after being sick the last couple of days. There is a lot going on in the world right now, but I can't help but think of two specific things right now. I've been wanting to do something extra exciting here lately. I'm already getting to deal with the fact that Bitcoin is currently valued below $20k for the first time in ages is pretty crazy. That alone is a rush, but I need something more.
I've done many exciting things over the years such as ziplining, sky diving, and white water rafting. Some have been more thrilling than others. I would enjoy doing all of those activities again, but if I had to choose one it would be going rafting. I just love water so much and it really is so exciting.
In today's video, I will be discussing some of my favorite adventures from the past and my plans for future endeavors. There are so many good photos and video clips in this one. I of course can't help but touch on the state of crypto a bit too. No matter if things are up or down, there is always something to talk about with crypto.
I would love for you to comment on your favorite ways to feel that sweet adrenaline rush in life. I know there are so many different things to experience in the world. Learning about what different people across the world enjoy doing sounds good to me. Let's talk about it or anything else at all in the comments.
Thanks for watching!

Not feeling 100% ๐คง Yesterday was a rough day. I woke up feeling fine, but after I finished recording and editing this video, things went south. I was totally sick to my stomach all day long. I had to skip the gym, I was miserable at the pool, and I could hardly eat any food all day long. Despite these setbacks, I still managed to put out a video and curate it like I usually do.
In today's video, I wanted to talk about why when you are sick, you can still power through and get things done. It is okay to take a step back and rest, but I don't like the idea of doing absolutely anything. Falling off of my routine of daily videos would have made me feel even worse.
I think you will notice a stark difference between how I am in this video versus other ones. It is pretty easy to tell I just wasn't feeling too well. I have faith that I'll be back to 100% by this weekend and I'll just adjust my schedule accordingly until then.
I tried to make up for the content not being quite as entertaining in this one by adding in lots of funny edits. Let me know how you enjoy my use of GIFs. It takes a little extra time to add in stuff like this, but it is always worth it in the end.

Hive is proving that it is quite resiliant ๐ช๐ As of writing this post and creating this video, HIVE is currently valued at around $0.57 cents. I have no clue what the price will be once this goes live later this evening. We are still far off from our ATH, but that doesn't mean I'm not still hyped about this moment. BTC and most other cryptos have been down in the dumps for the past few weeks and it continues for most of the market. HIVE somehow has managed to spring forward and have itself a nice little run these past few days.
I woke up this morning to see gains in the range of +50% and I knew I had to get some sell orders ready to take advantage of this pump. I use Hive's internal market for my swaps between HIVE/HBD. If you don't know how to use the internal market, then go check out my video tutorial How to buy/sell your HIVE/HBD on the internal market.
There isn't much like the excitement of watching your favorite crypto skyrocket in value, especially while everything else is stagnant. We are approaching the Top 100 market caps ever so slowly, it could happen at any time. Once we are in the Top 100, I wouldn't be surprised to see us in the Top 50 and perhaps Top 25 or better later down the road. If you can't already tell, I am overwhelmingly positive about the future of Hive. I wouldn't have invested nearly 5 years of my life here unless I really had faith in the community to succeed.
I just couldn't contain myself this morning and I totally had to put out a video talking about the crazy energy that with these types of pumps. I'm sure there will be many people talking about this, but I hope you will choose my video as the one to watch. I've included a lot of images in this one that shows various stats and comparisons between past and present.
I also mentioned a few other things in the video and I wanted to make sure to link both down here at the end of this writing.
First was @jeffjagoe and his merch, which is available at https://www.etsy.com/shop/JagoeMerch. I was wearing one of his Hive shirts during this video.
Next, I talked about the tragedy that a friend and well-known Hive user recently endured. I'm talking about @enginewitty and the @ewfund to help his family after their house burnt down. It really is terrible and they sure could use all the help they can get, whether it be an upvote, donation, or just a kind comment. Check out Update on Fundraising for @enginewitty
for more info on how you can assist.
I also want to link my other video How to be positive about negative things in hopes that it may allow Witty to find some way to keep his hopes and dreams alive during this dark moment in his life.
As usual, I want to thank anybody who took the time to read all of this and watch my video. I appreciate you all very much and I'm glad we are finally starting to see HIVE's price head back towards the highs that we all remember so well. $1 HIVE and beyond before you know it!

This dude can cut and he's cool ๐๐โ๏ธ It's been long overdue for me to start going to a new barbershop. There are two different ones within walking distance of where I live and I have just always gone to one over the other. At last, I have given the other shop a chance and it was one of the best decisions ever. Let me explain why.
I dropped by The Crowned King Styling Lounge and that is where I met my soon-to-be new barber Meche Law. Right away I noticed the guy was very personable and I loved how the shop's design was dedicated to NBA and mostly Kobe Bryant stuff. That first impression alone told me I had been going to the wrong place for the last two years.
I wasn't able to get a walk-in on Friday when I came through, but he booked me for his earliest slot the following morning at 9 am sharp. I arrived promptly and then we got to work.
He not only did an amazing job with my hair and beard, but we also just got along great. We share a lot in common when it comes to our love for basketball and good hip-hop music. We ended up listening to all of this album called "Escape From New York" featuring Flatbush Zombies and many other Brooklyn natives aka Beast Coast.
Meche and the other folks in the shop had never heard of my favorite rapper Meechy Darko of FBZ and I know they were feeling his sound once we started playing it through the speakers. They must have been shocked to find out that I had some good taste in music like that and I hope they will continue to dive deeper into Flatbush Zombies' discography. I recommend starting with "BetterOffDead".
There is a lot of dope stuff in today's video. I've got before and after shots of my hairstyle and beard, some music samples, and lots of entertaining stories about my first time getting to chill with and be cut by my new barber Mr. Meche Law. Thanks for being such a cool and professional guy man!
Enjoy the video and let me know what you think of the music and results of the haircut. See you all down in the comments!

Soak up some of that sun ๐ It's pretty obvious at this point that human beings need sunlight in order to survive. Without the sun we would freeze to death and even too little sun can cause our bodies to start developing some major issues. The same can be said for too much sun though, it is also dangerous. You may wonder, how much sunlight is enough. I have some answers for you in today's video.
I have been going to the pool pretty much every single day these past few weeks and I plan on continuing to go until summer is over and the dreadful day comes when the pools close until next summer. Nearly 3 years into living in my current downtown apartment and this is the first time that I have realized there is a free community pool within walking distance of me. This is also the first summer of my adult life where I have had actual freedom to do the things I enjoy anytime since I no longer am working my old job which controlled my life far too much.
I love swimming and how good my body feels after spending time in the pool, so why not make it part of my daily rituals. I even ordered some goggles to enable some underwater vision, which I will show you in the video. There is a lot in this one today. I am a major proponent of people getting outside and soaking up sunlight for at least a few hours every single day. I know that I feel far better when I get outside like that and I'd say my Vitamin D levels are finally stable again for once in my life outside of childhood.
After the video, be sure to let me know what you thought by leaving a comment and starting an interaction with me. Are you outside in the sun as much as I am? Or do you go outside even more often than I do? People that are more melanin dominant actually require more sunlight than somebody that is naturally pretty pale like I am. The truth of the matter is that all human beings (no matter what color) need sunlight to survive on this planet. The pool or some other type of water seems like one of the best places to go to get some sun during the summertime.

Rise an hour earlier to live an hour more ๐ It's going to be hard for you to argue with what I have to say today. I've worked every shift you can imagine throughout my life, oftentimes not getting off work until 6 am. Now I wake up each day at 6 am. I have been in the trenches and know what it is like to be sleeping at the wrong times, it totally wrecks us as human beings. Our natural circadian rhythm tells us to go to sleep when it is dark and wake up when there is light. If you can't even see your hand in front of your face, then it's most likely true that you would be better off asleep.
Now I'm not here to tell you what to do with your life, but I will be explaining what I do with my own life and how it has affected me in so many ways. A lot of us have our sleep cycles controlled by an employer or other demanding life scenarios. I have some harsh advice for those instances, but you'll have to watch the video to hear it.
I feel pretty strongly about this, but I also understand that waking up early each day is not easy for a lot of people, due to bad sleeping habits over the years. I think that if you make an effort to get up just an hour early for a week or so, then an hour earlier than that a week later, you are doing something good for yourself. I do not recommend getting up before the sun even begins to rise, but I think if the sun is already high in the sky by the time you see it, you are missing out on some very special hours.
I think that if you are still reading this, you probably are goint to watch the video too. So please enjoy what I have to share with you today. I would love to know if you agree with me or if you have a proper counter arguement as to why getting up early is a bad thing. If either of those or anything else at all is on your mind, please drop a comment and we can get to discussing it all.
Thanks for coming by for yet another one of my VLOGs. I am thrilled to be able to provide content like this for people who benefit from it and enjoy engaging. I will be here for as long as the sun continues to go up and down. Follow along with me if you aren't already.

Are you willing to make the sacrifice ๐ When something bad happens, it is easy to fall prey to going down a negative spiral. I used to do that with every little thing that occurred that was not in my favor. Luckily, I continued to grow over the years and have come to a realization that not all bad things are solely negative. I honestly believe that all bad things are a sacrifice or offerings for a good thing to happen in the future. Like planting a seed and waiting for it to sprout and eventually grow into a living organism.
Don't let this philosophy of mine deter you from watching my latest video, I promise to provide many points from human history that encourage my way of thinking. I won't be able to provide any one thing to 100% validate that sacrifices will enable good things to happen, but I believe that after you hear what I have to say, you will at least consider the potential.
In this video, I mentioned a few other users and some bad things that have happened to them recently (@simpleeme and @flowerbaby), be sure to follow both of them if you aren't already. They may not be daily posters like a lot of us are, but they do still exist and I believe both have a lot to offer this world.
I feel pretty lucky to have found a way of thought that allows me to stay happy during harsh times. Even if this process is not always accurate, it at least provides me peace of mind. My goal is to lower my stress levels to a minimum to maximize my life span. Let's see if I am able to help you do the same.
Thanks for stopping by for another video. I will be bringing more content like this on a daily basis, so if you aren't already following me be sure to do so. I also really appreciate anybody willing to reblog my posts to help more people see what I have to share. Comments are great too, I will always take the time to get back to you at some point.

Feeling awkward is normal ๐ You may look at the content that I post or know me in person and wonder how I could ever have social anxiety. Trust me when I say, I definitely did have it bad for most of my life. Even now I still battle with it, but it's far less of a struggle these days.
In this video, I will discuss 3 distinct situations from my past where I was too anxious to do the things that I wanted so badly to do. I missed out on some opportunities previously, but I learned my lesson and now I am more willing to try new things.
After talking about my shortcomings when I was overpowered by anxiety, I will explain how those same instances now are things that I look forward to doing. It probably seems like a pretty big leap to stop being afraid of certain things, but it is totally possible.
I don't have a hypnotic spell to put you under, but I do think I have some pretty solid advice and life expereince to share. I hope that you enjoy my latest video.
I mentioned in the video an older blog I did about how much better my life is without alcohol. If you are curious to read that one, here is the link:
https://peakd.com/hive-114723/@daltono/my-life-is-so-much-better-without-my-old-habit-of-binge-drinking-alcohol
I want to thank everyone who has been watching yet again. I will never stop being thankful for that. If you have issues with social anxiety or maybe you too overcame it, leave a comment and let me know. I would love to assist in any way that I can or perhaps just hear about a story from your past.
I'll catch you all in my next video tomorrow. See you then!

Learn something new today ๐๐ค๐ I recently tweeted talking about some of my open orders where I am waiting to pick up HIVE at a big discount. Those orders are still yet to be filled, but if we dip lower I will be getting an absolute deal and adding close to 2,000 HIVE to my holdings. This post today isn't about my investments though, it is about yours. That same tweet had a reply from @kkarenmp that made me realize many do not even know how to use https://wallet.hive.blog/market. So here I am to assist.
This is the tweet if you wish to see what I was talking about:
https://twitter.com/daltonoHive/status/1538565052105891841?s=20&t=qRfo5__AdZan5oLwzcs3lQ
In today's video, I will be providing you with a step-by-step tutorial on how to buy and sell your HIVE and HBD on the internal market. The process is pretty simple, but if this is your first time using it, the interface can be a bit confusing. I know that I spent at least a year having absolutely no idea how this thing works. Once you figure it out, you will be swapping between your two favorite cryptocurrencies with ease. Who knows, maybe you will even be able to make some profitable trades.
As with all of my videos, questions are more than welcome. All you have to do is leave a comment and ask me. I will always get back to you and we will find a way to make this work for you. Remember that the best thing about the internal market is decentralization, liquidity has always been there when I needed it too.
Enjoy the video and thanks for stopping by. I really hope this helps a lot of people out during their Hive journey.

Videos may be the way ๐ค๐ฅ I've started to get a decent feel for posting videos daily. This is now my 12th video since committing to posting videos regularly on 3Speak. For one, I love it! Besides being happy with what I get to create and share here daily, I also have noticed one major thing about it. Other people seem to enjoy these videos I'm making a whole lot more than they did any of my other content. I've been getting way more comments and I couldn't be happier with how engagement is going.
In the past, I have been a frequent poster of longer written content in the form of blogs, shorter written content paired with a lot of photography on Liketu, and even gameplay videos from my PS5 to YouTube with voiceovers of myself while playing. I love each type of post that I just mentioned, but I don't think I enjoy any of them nearly as much as I do these walk-and-talk vlogs.
I'm personally fulfilled by making videos and I'm also seeing the number of comments that my posts receive increase tremendously. I had grown pretty used to getting less than 10 comments always on other styles of posting. Here lately it has been more like 20 and even upwards of 50 comments per post. This to me is a clear sign that I should keep doing what I am doing.
In today's video, I wanted to share with you some advice on why I think posting videos may be your best bet to succeed as a content creator here on Hive. We see people like @taskmaster4450 who are incredibly successful here and he's been doing daily videos for the longest time. I am looking to do something similar, but also put my own spin on it. Everyone here is going to go about things in a slightly different way and that is just fine and dandy.
I hope that you find a few useful things in today's video, there are all sorts of things that I go over. Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to drop a comment afterward if you want to get a conversation going. I am always happy to get back to any and everyone who engages with me.
Take care you all and I'll see you in another video tomorrow where I will be providing a tutorial on how to use the Hive internal market to buy/sell HIVE/HBD.

A risk worth taking โ ๏ธ I couldn't be much happier with life right now. Back in November I finally had the courage to quit my job and pursue things here on Hive full-time. Although this is now my job, it is nothing like any other job I have ever had. There is no contract saying I will get paid, I don't get insurance, there isn't a paycheck, and I technically don't even work for anybody. Literally, the only thing that gives me any support is the community.
This new way of working is something that I fell in love with right away. I started my Hive journey in December of 2017. I struggled to gain traction at first, but I stuck with it. Eventually, I got lucky and got discovered by a bigger curator and as soon as I saw that glimpse of success, I have stayed motivated ever since then. It's hard to forget that something like this is possible once you experience it once.
In today's video, I have quite a lot to say about how I am able to live off of Hive and be happier than I have been in years because of it. Nothing about this has been easy and there will be a lot of trial and error for anyone else looking to do the same. I can 100% verify that you can indeed rely on Hive to provide if you are willing to take the risk.
Thanks so much to this awesome community for making this all possible. I love where I'm at in life and I am adamant about helping others achieve this same level of success and freedom.
If you have any questions at all, please comment and ask. I am happy to answer any and everything. I will get back to everyone and will even try to check out your page and see what you are creating. I'm just as interested in being a curator as I am in being a creator. If you think you have something special to share with the world, tell me about it and I'll do what I can to help further your reach.
Enjoy the video and I will see you again in another one tomorrow!

You don't want to miss these games ๐น๐พ๐ฎ This new PS Plus Extra subscription just keeps getting better. You may have already seen my previous videos about this new service from PlayStation. If you haven't already you can see how the three new tiers work in this video and you can check out some games that I think they should add to the service in this video.
Today's video is about something new though, I want to talk indie titles. Indie is short for independent and it usually translates to games that aren't released by the major studios. You usually get a much smaller development team, but often times this results in far more passion and better results than games with millions of dollars backing them.
Personally, I'm used to big-budget titles, but I have been known to play some indies from time to time over the years. Now that my PlayStation Plus membership gives me access to so many new games, I have been anxious to try some out that I have heard about when they were first released.
I have four absolutely amazing games to discuss today. All are critically acclaimed and I've tested myself to confirm they are a great time. I have decided to pair my normal walk-and-talk video with some gameplay for each title so that you can see what they look and play like.
You'll be hearing about the following four indie titles that are available on PS Plus and also other platforms such as Switch, Xbox, and PC.
*The Messenger
Dead Cells
Celeste
Blasphemous*
I am astonished at home with each of these video games I am starting to get. I knew they reviewed well but didn't expect to take kindly to the art and gameplay styles. I'm happy to say that I like each one so much that I plan to try to finish them all at some point. It will continue to be difficult to juggle so many games, but I'm lucky enough to have the time to play them now.
I hope you enjoyed today's video. I try to mix my content up and don't want to always post about the same stuff. So if you are a fan of gaming, crypto, a good sense of humor, or just general positivity and life advice, then be sure to give me a follow so you don't miss out on future content.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this post and watch my video. See you again tomorrow for another!

Remembering to communicate ๐ฃ If you are looking to be a content creator on Hive, one of the most important parts of it all is user engagement. If all you did was post and have zero interactions ever, what would be the point? This is a social platform and that means we are to socialize.
Hive doesn't have the user base that the mainstream apps like YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook, and others already have. We aren't to the point of there being so many people around that it's normal to see a post with thousands of comments. That could happen one day in the future, but it will probably be a while. Until that time comes, we have the opportunity to reply to the few people who are actually willing to take a close look at the things we create.
In today's video, I have decided to discuss why I think you should be replying to and upvoting every comment that you get. There is a lot more to it than just saying thanks, but I believe I explain my reasoning for believing this quite well in the video.
If you watched my video today, let me know what you think. I'm pretty sure most will agree that replying to the comments you get is pretty important to the success of both Hive and yourself. Plus it's fun!
Feel free to comment below and I'll get back to you soon after. Thanks for stopping by, I'll see you again tomorrow.

I miss my baby ๐ซ It's been a different last few weeks for me. I have been without my car since June 2nd, which has changed how I organize my daily doings. Despite this setback, I have still been doing fantastic and getting out and about on foot. If you're wondering how I am able to remain positive during crappy instances like this, let's just say it isn't always easy. I'm lucky to live where I live and have a body capable of getting me around, despite having been 90ยฐ+ this entire time I've been without my ride. I've probably sweated more during this time period than I have in weeks, but it honestly feels so good to be getting outside in the blistering sunlight this much.
The title of this blog sums up the basics of what has happened with my 2009 Audi A4, but I go into greater detail in today's video. It's not all about my car though, I also wanted to add some insight about general life things that may help you advance through tremulous moments that seek to bring you down.
I brought my car to the same shop that I always go to a few weeks back, all I needed was an oil change. They called me after they finished and asked if I wanted to pay $10 extra to get a full inspection since my car has over 160k miles on it now. I said sure why not, I'd rather play it safe with things like these. Of course, they found something wrong that needed to be replaced, I expected this since I've been driving my car pretty hard for nearly 10 years now.
The part needed to do the job had to be ordered from across the country and it took a week to arrive. Once it was finally here and they were able to work on my car, they ended up breaking something else while they were swapping parts. Luckily it's an honest shop and they called me to tell me what happened and said they would be covering the costs of what they messed up.
I was forced to wait a few more days and then finally they called one day and said they had the part and it would be ready by the end of the day. They didn't call me that evening and didn't answer when I called. So I hit them up the next morning to find out that they had broken something else installing the part. Again I had to wait a few days.
I just went over to pick my car up and pay this morning, I was there as soon as they opened up at 7 am. I drove around the block a few times and determined that there was now a new issue that didn't exist before. They got in with me and accepted that something seemed off as well. So as of right now, I am stuck waiting on them to determine what was causing the awful sound coming from the exact area where they had been working.
This suck so much because it is about to be the third weekend that I haven't had my car. I hope that they figure something out by today or tomorrow. I just want things to work out and I'm not letting myself get worked up over it. As I said, I've been managing just fine.
If you care to know more details, just watch my video. I explained everything as best as I could, while also trying to keep things entertaining.
Thanks for all of the support everyone! Without you all, I wouldn't be able to afford all of the pricey repairs for my aging car. I look forward to one day being able to upgrade to something newer, but for now, I am sticking with my Audi and I still love getting behind the wheel of that thing. This car has been so great to me and I believe that we still have a few years left to keep pushing together.
Catch you all in another video tomorrow. I'll be dropping a rare Saturday video since I'll have some extra time tomorrow to film and edit.

Good daily habits will take you farโ๏ธ Surely we all have struggled to remain productive at times. This can often lead to a lower level of happiness. If there was a way to increase the likelihood of optimum happiness and productivity, wouldn't you be interested?
Of course, there is a way. The path towards this route of success I speak of stands with being consistent in your actions and ideally finding a positive routine that enables you to stay in a constant flow state.
This is sometimes easier said than done, but if you take control of your life you should be able to find a way to keep things consistent. I know I have enjoyed finding new ways to keep myself engaged and remembering what the end goal is.
Here lately I have been adding more to my daily routine. As soon as I wake up I get out of bed and get dressed to head outside and walk on the boulevard. This is my favorite place to record my walk and talk videos like this one today. Adding this habit to my daily ritual has made me tremendously happy!
In today's video, I will be discussing in more detail how and why you need to be consistent with the things that you do. Falling off after one great performance is my worst nightmare. I want to be remembered as the guy that showed up day in and out to do his very best. Maybe you have those same dreams and aspirations.
I hope that my latest video tickles your fancy. I work hard on all of these and am proud of the results. If you are wanting to take the conversation further, there is no better way to do that than by commenting on this post and letting me hear it. I will always respond and aim to bolster your own success rate in life, so it is worth your time to interact.
Thanks for stopping by my page again. Be sure to follow me if you aren't already, as I will be dropping loads more videos like this one in the future. Also, feel free to reblog this post to help me gain more visibility and give more people the chance to discover what I have to offer.
See you all again tomorrow!

Will PlayStation listen to gamersโ In my video yesterday, I talked about everything that you need to know about the new PlayStation Plus subscription options. If you haven't already watched that one, check it out here. The main new draw is the fact that PlayStation has finally clapped back at Xbox's Game pass. If you opt for PS Plus Extra or Premium, you will gain access to a catalog of great games to play.
Although the list of games is already full of great option, I couldn't help but wonder what might be some of the new games to be added in the future. The library will be updated monthly and I expect there to be a look of great titles coming and going.
I decided to put together this video to go over some of what I believe to be the best options for potential new games to add to the PS Plus catalog. Everyone will have their own opinions about this, but I've tried to include many different types of games. Most of these actually make sense to add and I feel would provide fantastic value to this new PS Plus montly gaming service.
I hope you enjoy the video and please do leave a comment to let me know which games you are most looking forward to. I'm sure my list isn't perfect, so I'd love to know what you think should be added or removed.
As always, thanks for stopping by and I look forward to further communication and continuing to share content on here each and everyday. If you are a fan of my latest videos, let me know. I plan to keep doing these through the week and am having a blast with it!

PlayStation gamers have a new reason to brag ๐ฃ๐ If you weren't already aware, PlayStation just changed how PS Plus works. This is the answer to Xbox's Game Pass. Finally, PS has listened to the community and given us a monthly subscription option that includes a catalog of high-quality PS4 and PS5 games, plus some classics too if you're into that.
In today's video, I will be discussing everything that you need to know about the 3 new PS Plus Tiers (Essential, Extra, and Premium). Each one will attract a different type of person, but all three remain great options. I will also be talking about my personal favorite games that I am most excited to now have access to.
You can find out more on https://www.playstation.com/en-us/ps-plus/, but I promise to provide you with loads of good info and entertainment in this one.
I hope that you enjoy the video. Let me know your thoughts about the new PS Plus. Did you upgrade? If not, why not? Do you see yourself changing your mind in the future? I'm ready to talk about any and everything PlayStation in the comments, see you there.
Stay tuned for my next video where I will be talking about the games that I think should be added to PS Plus in the future. There are quite a few great options as is such as Demon's Souls, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Returnal, but there is always room for more and the list will be updated regularly.

Everything is red ๐ฉธ Most of us probably felt that the crypto markets were due for a major correction, although of course none of us wanted it. It seems as though today may finally be a clear sign that a trend leading us to some pretty low values throughout the market is upon us. Bitcoin and the altcoins are retesting previous support levels, these numbers are at levels that some people have yet to ever witness. Some may rejoice in a great buy opportunity, but others have lost all of their savings due to some risky bets.
This can be difficult for many to comprehend, especially if they are new to the space. I hope that in today's video I will be able to provide some calm during a vicious storm.
As of me writing this morning, here are the numbers:
*BTC $23,000
ETH $1,200
HIVE $0.35*
Now take a look at the all-time highs for those same three:
*BTC $67,000
ETH $4,800
HIVE $3*
It is very obvious that if you bought at those ATHs, you are probably hurting pretty badly right now. Despite it being clear that a lot of people are being burnt by these liquidations, I still think there are many reasons to remain positive about the overall state of cryptocurrency.
If you are wondering how on earth could one possibly still be positive during these times, then I encourage you to watch my video today and see what I have to say. I don't have a magical cure all to serve you, but I do believe that having gone through something similar to this multiple times, I'm able to provide some decent insight.
If you like the video, be sure to let me know. Leave a comment below and tell me how you are handling the markets taking a turn for the worse. One thing is for certain, the worldwide financial markets are undergoing a major transformation and the result will probably be nothing like what we were used to seeing over the last 100 years.

Time to make a decision ๐ค If there is one lesson that I have learned since beginning my Hive journey in December of 2017, it is the fact that things aren't as simple as just powering up everything you have. I have spent the longest time trying to build my Hive Power and am finally to a point where I feel I have a great amount in my wallet. I could have even more though, but I have been 100% powered up during almost all of the biggest pumps. I have adjusted my strategy and feel as though I am in a better position now to take advantage of future opportunities.
When HIVE hit $3, I only had a little bit of HIVE liquid and was not able to capitalize on the massive gains to the fullest. From then on I have made sure to always have a decent chunk of HIVE liquid, in my personal wallet ready to be traded at any time with a service such as https://stealthex.io/. This is not to say that I am not still keeping the majority of my Hive powered up, because I most certainly am. This can all be pretty confusing and even controversial to some. I hope that I am able to provide several ideas that let prime yourself for optimum success rates in the future.
In today's video, I will be discussing my own personal strategy with HIVE and why you may want to pay attention to the moves I am making. We have solid options with HP gains through curation, HBD savings, and trading. It is ultimately up to you what you wish to do and we of course are all constantly learning as we make mistakes and gain more knowledge in this evergrowing and changing space.
I hope you enjoy today's video and be sure to leave a comment below if you have something to add to the topic. I know there will probably be many different opinions about what is the best option here. This is my own personal opinion and by no means the only way forward.
Also, a reblog would really help to increase visibility and engagement on the post. As always, thanks for stopping by, and see you again soon.

It feels good to win ๐ค Yesterday I posted a video about my worst investments ever. You know that means today I had to do another video talking about my best investments. If you didn't watch that one yet, here is a link.
Now I'm not some crazy successful businessman with tons of real estate, stocks, or many other endeavors. I live a pretty casual life and even with a very low-stress level, I have still managed to make some wise financial decisions over the year. My main goal has been to increase my level of happiness and freedom, both of which I've been very successful with.
In today's video, I will be going over some of my best investments ever. Some may see some of these things and think no big deal. Others will be very surprised at what I was able to do with one of these investments. I've taken some risks and some things were more sure to payout well than others, but I've managed to all of it down to about four different things to discuss today.
A brief overview of my best investments:
*Flipping 10 cent edibles for $10
$3,500 BTC
10 cent HIVE
My PS5, M1 iMac, and iPhone XS*
I've gotten lucky a few times, no denying it. I also have to congratulate myself for sticking with some things that I believed in when others told me I was crazy for doing it at the time. Now that we have had a laugh about my investment mistakes, it is time to relish the positive moments.
I once again invite you to make your own blog or video about your best and worst investments. I'd love to read more good and bad stories from the community here on LeoFinance, 3Speak, and the rest of Hive.
Also, it would be great if you reblogged this post to increase visibility.
Thanks, everyone, hope you enjoy the video today and I look forward to talking about things with you in the comments below.

Many lessons have been learned ๐ง Alright, so I have managed to become relatively successful now that I am about to turn 30 years old. I'm happy and I get to enjoy my life daily. Now that I am in this position, it is much easier for me to look back and have a laugh at some of my not-so-good financial decisions.
In today's video, I will be going over my six worst investments ever. It is hard to keep track of every little thing, but what I have selected today manages to stand out to me in a big way.
A brief overview of my investment mistakes:
*Spending $20 to try to win $2 as a kid
College loans
My Audi A4
$3 STEEM
Crypto.com indigo debit card
Rare Ghost Club NFTs*
Not every decision is going to work out. Mistakes are going to happen and the best thing we can do is learn from them and eventually have a laugh about it down the road like I'm doing right now.
I encourage you to share your own story about your worst investments. If you do, please be sure to tag me that way I can visit the post and show some love.
Also, feel free to reblog this post for more visibility.
Thanks, everyone, hope you enjoy the video today and I look forward to talking about things with you in the comments below.

I finally got some answers ๐ฅผ๐ฉบ Perhaps you saw my post from a few weeks ago announcing that I had a successful experience with https://honehealth.com/. If not, you can check out that blog here: https://peakd.com/hive-166408/@daltono/hone-health-allowed-me-to-test-my-hormone-levels-from-the-comfort-of-my-home.
Basically, I paid $45 to have a blood sample kit mailed to me that I was able to do myself, from the comfort of my home. I then mailed the completed blood sample with a prepaid return label and I received my lab results in less than a week.
After that, I had to wait just under a month until I was able to get a virtual appointment with one of Hone's doctors. Hone is very busy, but I finally was able to talk to my doctor this week.
This video is a recording of everything that we discussed. There is a ton of useful information here. I know I definitely learned several things about how hormones work.
By the end of our discussion, my doctor determined that my TOTAL TESTOSTERONE was at an average level for men of all ages, but my FREE TESTOSTERONE was pretty low. The goal is to get my FREE T above 15.
I also have a healthy level of LUTEINIZING HORMONE and low levels of Estradiol (which is good in this instance), this means that I have another option besides just taking testosterone. Remember that the only way to increase FREE TESTOSTERONE is to increase TOTAL TESTOSTERONE. This lead him to recommend that I give Clomiphene aka Clomid a try.
Clomid will allow my body to be reminded to produce higher levels of testosterone without suppressing my testicles and sperm production. From where I am only turning 30 in October, we both thought that there wasn't a need to get on test yet since I'm still pretty young. Test turns into a lifelong commitment and is known to reduce sperm counts. It seems best to at least give Clomid a chance to encourage my body to do its thing first and have the option to stop using it at any time.
If my body only has a partial reaction to Clomid, I can also combine test with it without having to worry about reducing my sperm count thanks to Clomid working in tandem with the test. Not everyone has this option, but my labs told my doctor that this would be the best place to start for me. There is much more to our discussion, but you can see that in the video.
If you are wondering how much it will cost me to start taking Clomid, I have that answer. There is a monthly membership with Hone that costs $120. On top of that, the monthly subscription for Clomid is $38. In total, about $160 per month. It is costly, but something I'm willing to afford if it will increase the optimization of my overall life. Plus test and other options cost even more, so I am lucky to have this cheaper option thanks to where my body is currently.
I am very excited to see how my body reacts to Clomid. If things don't go well, I will stop using it and perhaps consider testosterone. I have a feeling since my numbers are where they are, things will go well and I'll reawaken my body that way my hormones will sort themselves out without having to get on test.
I will definitely be updating after I have had some time to see how Clomid works for me. It will take weeks, perhaps even months to see full results. I will be paying close attention to any and all changes to my body during this time. I will also have another appointment and new labs in 12 weeks, so I am excited to see where all of this goes.

Country roads ๐ This past weekend @flowerbaby and I got our stuff together and ventured forth towards Lewisburg, WV. We mapped out a route that would allow us to visit multiple locations that we had never been to together.
We explored the following WV locations in this order, the Falls of Hills Creek, Cranberry Glades, Droop Mountain Lookout Tower, Beartown State Park, and the town of Lewisburg.
In this video, I will talk a bit about each place and show you some of what we were lucky enough to see in person. These locations are all pretty rural, so there weren't very many people around besides us. This was the first 80ยฐ+ weather we have had this year and we took advantage of the amazing weather.
I hope you enjoy the video. Please leave a comment if you have any questions or things that you would like to say about our adventure.

Battle of the coupes ๐ค In this video, we will closely examine the 2023 Nissan Z and compare it with the Toyota GR Supra and Audi TTS.
There is a lot to compare between the three. By the end of the video, we should be able to determine which would be the best choice. The point of these cars isn't to haul cargo or passengers but to drive and look good doing it.
Let me know which of the three coupes you would choose. You will find out my choice at the end of the video there is a clear winner to me.

Make use of your vote ๐ณ If you are not already making use of your 30 witness votes, you should totally consider doing so. Even if you already are voting, perhaps you haven't updated your choices in a while. I like to check to make sure that witnesses remain active consistently and are going to continue to be good block producers for Hive.
You can take a look at the list of top witnesses by visiting https://peakd.com/me/witnesses.
In this video, I will discuss my reasons for choosing to vote for each witness that I have selected.
Here is my current list of witness votes:
1๏ธโฃ @blocktrades

Welcome to the dirt ring ๐ฆ๐ After getting canceled two weekends in a row due to rain, opening night at I-77 Speedway finally happened. @flowerbaby and I had never been to this racetrack before, despite it being located in Fairplain, WV which is only about 30 minutes from where we live.
I-77 Speedway is a 3/8 mile oval dirt track that hosts a variety of events. The races we attended included super late, ump mods, steel block, sport mods, street stocks, and mini wedges.
In today's video, I will discuss why we decided to finally visit this place and what we thought of it. There is plenty of footage of the races and I will be sure to explain everything that is going on. Most of you are probably new to this kind of thing, I know I am. I am somebody who loves cars quite a bit, but I know little to nothing about this kind of racing. It turned out to be a wonderful first experience.
Visit http://www.i77speedwaywv.com/ for more information about the races at this location.
We loved how the seating was set up, very spacious. We laid a blanket on the grass and got cozy together. You can bring in your own coolers and it only costs $15/person to get in.

Going from good to great ๐คณ My much-anticipated order from https://lumecube.com/ has officially been delivered. The only thing left for me to do was go pick it up from my parent's house and test these new items out. I have been super curious to see how the Mobile Creator Stand XL performs when combined with the external microphone and Panel Go lights.
You should definitely be able to tell when I switch from my iPhone's regular microphone to the new mic. The audio gets much clear and background noise is reduced a great deal. The stand doubles as a solid selfie stick, which comes in handy right away. I will have to wait until I am filming in the dark to show off the full capabilities of the Panel Go lighting.
If you are curious about which products I received, just check this next photo.
I am so hyped to start filming more of what I do on a regular basis. I love writing blogs and posting video game videos, but now that winter is finally over I am ready to get outside. Looking forward to sharing more of my daily doings and also the many adventures that I will be going on during this spring, summer, and beyond.

VLOG 4-1-2022 This is your chance to see what I do upon waking up and starting my day. I decided to take the time to recrod pretty much everything I did on my busy Friday last week.
I woke up early and drank my normal dose of four raw eggs from the farm. Then had to drop my car off for some costly repairs, but somehow managed to turn it into a happy experience. Then I came home and cooked a juicy steak before getting to work on some Hive posts. Soon after I met with my good friend @simpleeme for lunch and rushed over to my barber as soon as we finished to get a haircut and beard trim.
This is just some of the action in today's video. I hope that you enjoy joining me for my daily doings and getting to know my personal side of me a bit more. I will be posting more videos like this and look forward to interacting with friends and viewers who wish to just watch or leave some comments.

Change the way you VLOG ๐คณ๐น It has been far too long since I've uploaded to 3Speak, close to three months now. That changes today!
I recently discovered that my iPhone and many other smartphones are capable of doing something pretty crazy. The technology in our phones allows us to record with the front selfie camera and the higher quality cameras on the back at the same time. Most phones, such as the iPhone, do not let you do this straight out of the box, but there is a way and today I am going to show you how.
You can download FilMiC's application called DoubleTake on Apple's App Store (not available for Android), more info is available by visiting https://www.filmicpro.com/products/doubletake/
You're going to want to make sure your phone is compatible before purchasing the app, which by the way only costs $3.99. iOS 15 users with the following devices are supported: iPhone 13 series, iPhone 12 series, iPhone 11 series, Xs/Xs Max, Xr, SE 2, and iPad Pro 2018 or newer.
FilMiC has a few other useful apps that allow you to shoot photos and videos manually if you are into that. You can find all of their amazing apps by browsing https://www.filmicpro.com/.FilMiC. FilMiC Pro, Remote, and Firstlight are available on both the App Store and Google Play Store.
In this video, I will show you how DoubleTake works and play around with a couple of the different view options. It is pretty crazy to think that this has been possible for quite a while now, I have been envisioning something like this for years. I must give a shout-out to my dude @simpleeme for showing me that his Android could do this with its native camera app. I was super jealous at the time, but now am pleasntly surprised and overall ecstatic to find out that my iPhone is capable of the same thing.
I would love to have some feedback as to whether or not you think you'd enjoy seeing more video content from me like this on 3Speak. I think the whole idea of being able to see me and see what I see at the same time is pretty revolutionary.
Stay tuned for more videos in the future, no more several month breaks from @daltono.

You win some, you lose some ๐ฅ After doing so well in my last Gnashers Only video, I thought I may as well have another go at it. I was so close to getting first place last time, maybe I will succeed this time. Sadly that just was not the case. I guess I got in a lobby full of sweaty hardcore Gears heads. I just did not do very well in this one. It also didn't help that I joined this one in progress and the leader already had 22/30 kills by the time I got in.
This may be my last Gears 5 video for a while. As of now, I do not have any more gameplay recorded and my Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is set to expire soon. This has been a great experience and I am so happy to finally get my Gears fixed. I may resubscribe for the streaming service again in the future, but I'm not sure. I'm pretty positive I won't be purchasing an Xbox Series X anytime soon though. I am happy with my PS5 and would much rather put that money towards a PSVR 2 whenever they finally release it.

It works quite well ๐ฎ My experience with Xbox Cloud Gaming continues to get better. So far I have been relying on my PS4's DualShock 4 to play all of these games on my iMac. I tried out some of my Nintendo Switch controllers, but they didn't work. I figured I may as well try my PS5 DualSense controller since it is my favorite controller by a long shot. The DualSesne wasn't on the official compatibility list, but I can confirm that it does indeed work.
Sadly the only way to experience things such as adaptive triggers and true haptic feedback is by playing PS5 games on a PS5, that is the only way. At least the controller does work and the vibrations are still better than what I was experiencing with the DualShock 4. Plus this is the controller that I am most used to using currently, so I'm glad that I can also use it when playing Xbox games through the cloud.
This gameplay is a match of Big Team Battle Capture the Flag on Fragmentation. I thought I'd give BTB another chance and I do enjoy CTF a lot more than Stockpile. It was fun, but honestly, I'd rather play regular Team Slayer. I will be sticking to the ranked modes only in the future. I wonder how good I actually am, we shall see once I finish all of my qualifier maps.
As of now, this may be my last Halo Infinite video for a while. I may record more in the future, but that is up in the air as of now. So you better enjoy this one while you can.

I was so damn close to winning ๐ โโ๏ธ๐ My favorite Gears weapon of all time is without a doubt the Gnasher Shotgun. Of course, the Longshot, Torque Bow, Boomshot, Lancer Chainsaw, and even the Hammer of Dawn all hold a special place in my heart too. There is just something about the nature of shotgun battles in Gears that is unlike any other game ever.
The featured Free-For-All Gnashers game mode was ideal for me. No weapons but shotguns are allowed here. No teammates and an easy to maneuver and a small map to keep the action steady. This mode plays very well and my skills are able to shine because of it.
I went head to head against 13 other gamers and was not the least bit afraid. I stayed in the first place pretty much the entire match. I thought for sure I was about to get my first solo victory, then JToscano came and stole my victory. The guy clutched up at the very end to narrowly beat me out. I still was able to claim second place with 25 kills, but that dude was able to tally up 30 before me.
I had so many brutally awesome plays during this match, despite the slight input lag I am forced to deal with thanks to playing this from the cloud. Me being able to do so well is proof that Xbox Cloud Gaming does indeed work well, even at its beta stage. I can only imagine how popular this service will become once they start offering 4K streaming and find a way to make the latency feel non-existent.

All slayers gather round ๐ I've mostly been playing the smaller game modes since checking out Halo Infinite on Xbox Cloud Gaming. This video is different though, I queued up some Big Team Battle. These modes are 10 v 10 rather than the normal 4 v 4. I can say without a doubt that I prefer the smaller matches/maps, but BTB is still a lot of fun.
In this video, the match is set on a giant map called Deadlock. We play a game mode called Stockpile, which was brand new to me. It was pretty self-explanatory, but I wasn't 100% certain exactly what I was supposed to be doing at first. I mainly focused on getting as many kills as possible. Typical @daltono.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the video. My first month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is set to expire in the next week or two. I am not sure I will renew it either. As much fun as I'm having with Xbox Cloud Gaming, I just prefer my PS5. I will have a few more Halo Infinite and Gears 5 videos coming before my membership runs out. Maybe I will catch Game Pass Ultimate on sale at some point and be able to reactivate.

Poseidon better look out ๐๐ฑ I use Photoshop daily, but something I pretty much have never done is record my process. It looks like that finally changes today. You can see exactly how I created my latest design titled "Daltono the Ocean God".
I took the time to explain a few things in more detail throughout this process, but the majority of this video is me just doing my thing. I didn't even have plans to do an entire design when I started recording but ended up with something pretty cool. I plan to use this new design as another image at the footer of my posts. What do you think of it?
Let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise enjoy the video.

At least I tried ๐ฎ Back at it again with some more Halo Infinite gameplay on Xbox Cloud Gaming from my iMac. I'm still psyched about how well this whole thing works. For somebody like me who no longer owns an Xbox, Cloud Gaming is hugely beneficial to allow me to play Xbox games.
I was checking https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/cloud-gaming/cloud-gaming-tested-controllers and discovered that there are quite a few compatible controllers to use with Xbox Cloud Gaming. Some work better than others and I'm pretty sure the best experience is going to be with an Xbox Series controller. Since I don't have any Xbox controllers in my possession, I was forced to experiment a bit.
I began with using my old DualShock 4 that had been collecting dust. It works very well and I don't have any issues with it. Next, I decided to pull out a few of my Nintendo Switch Controllers. I have 4 d different ones, but I wanted to try my two that are wired. These controllers are made by Power A and I thought they were supposed to work. Sadly I had no success and was forced to revert back to the DualShock 4. I have since found out that my PS5 DualSense also works and will be using it in a future video.
You can also expect to get a look at my free gaming chair that I got from Wayfair. It is exactly the color and style of chair that I had been wanting. My mom surprised me with it a few months back. Besides having to put it together, I love everything about it.
Lastly, you can of course expect to see me playing some Halo Infinite in this video. I joined a match in progress, so it is not a very long game. It is still exciting though. I was playing this game mode called Fiesta. This is the perfect mode to test out all of the different weapons in the game. A lot of them I have never used before. Some I am more familiar with such as the Energy Sword and Rocket Launcher.
I hope you enjoy and I thank you for coming to my blog again. If you are enjoying this Halo Infinite content, I have a few more in the pipeline, so stay tuned.

This man was born to play ๐น I am excited to introduce to you today a video from the rhythm genre that you most likely have never heard of. The game I speak of is called Pianista. Picture Guitar Hero's not matching the style of play mixed with classical music and piano. This game is absolutely amazing and today I want to tell you how you can play it.
In my video, I am playing Pianista Invitation To Classical Music, which is the mobile phone edition of Pianista. This version is free to play and you can download it on iOS or Android by visiting https://www.superbcorp.com/pianista_mobile.html?lang=en. When playing the mobile version, you will rely on touchscreen controls, which work extremely well.
There is also another version that is available for Nintendo Switch. That one is called Pianista The Legendary Virtuoso. You can find the Switch version on https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/pianista-switch/ for $25. I have seen the game go on sale many times and I was able to get it for around $5 or $10 a few years back. When playing this version, you rely on the Joy-Cons to play.
Both versions of the game are a ton of fun and pretty similar, yet vastly different. With the Switch version, you do not have to pay extra to unlock more songs. Singleplayer is played using both Joy-Cons and you have a lot of notes with deal with on the highest difficulty level. There is also an Ensemble couch co-op mode which gives each player one of the Joy-Cons. The notes are cut in half and it just works so well. I enjoy Ensemble more than single-player.
The mobile version that I play in today's video is my personal favorite option for single-player Pianista action. The touch controls are a lot easier to master than the two Switch Joy-Cons.
Both games have around 20 or so different composers and plenty of scores from each one. A lot of this music is something you are probably more familiar with than you think. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Bizet, Verdi, Vivaldi, Mendelssohn, Saint-Saens, Paganini, Handel, Schubert, Haydn, and so many more timeless composers. These games are packed with content and it all plays very well.
Enough about the game through text, it is about time to watch my video if you haven't already. This will certainly be the best way for you to understand how amazing Pianista is. I hope this will inspire you to play it sometime. Classical music is definitely something that should be a part of everyone's lifestyle.

So many memories on this map ๐บ Canals has to be one of my favorite Gears of War maps in the history of all Gears games. It surprised the hell out of me when Canals came up in the rotation during matchmaking in this gameplay video. I hadn't looked up the list of maps for Gears 5, I've just been playing and playing. I should have known that one of their most popular maps would be in this game.
Canals has been remade/remastered for many Gears games now. It first appeared as a launch map for the original Gears of War game. Then it was added to both Gears 2 and 4. Now it's back in Gears 5, with a bit of a dark (but not night) theme. It's just as great as I remember it being.
The classic race to see who will get to the Longshot first is still just as exhilarating as it always was. As soon as you pick it up, you better be aiming to the other side of the map to take out the enemy player who picks up their longshot. Then of course there is the Torque Bow to fight over down in the water under the middle bridge. There is no hiding out on Canals.
I know this map like the back of my hand, yet I still did poorly in this match. It is taking me a lot longer to reclaim my former Gears glory than I thought it would. Trust me when I say I have a dominant performance coming soon.

Don't call it SWATโ๏ธ After thinking Halo took away my favorite game mode, I found out that it just has a different name now. Headshots = Instant Kill in this mode. The name is Tactical Slayer, which I used to know as Swat. I'm pretty sure Halo is being censored, WTF! I'm guessing that the devs were pressured into no longer calling the game mode Swat since it relates to real-life police situations too much. That is literally the only thing that I can think of. Why else would 343 Studios change the name of one of their most beloved game modes? Check this thread on Reddit if you want to read more about what people think about this game mode's name change.
The funny thing about this is that Spligate has a game mode that is pretty much just like this mode and they call it Swat. It is as if Halo lost the right to call their game mode what they have always called it and Splitgate swooped in and seized the opportunity since they aren't bowing down to some giant corporation yet.
Another funny thing is that throughout this video I kept getting confused as to why my controller kept kicking me out of my scope while I was aiming in. I even believed that maybe something was wrong with my controller even though it has worked fine ever since I've owned it. Turns out it wasn't my controller at all. It seems as though any time you are aiming with the BR's scope and get hit by an enemy shot, it doesn't let you stay scoped in. This is really annoying and I honestly cannot remember if Halo has always been like this, it has been way too long for me. I know that Splitgate doesn't do that.
Speaking of Splitgate one last time, I play it on my PS5. I play Halo Infinite on my iMac with Xbox Cloud Gaming. I notice a major difference in my twitch aiming skills between my console and streaming on my computer. I am so much better at nailing every headshot when playing on console. I'm decent in Halo Infinite from the cloud, but I can tell that it is holding me back. I feel this more with the Tactical Slayer mode than I do with regular. Just something to point out, this is not me at my best.
Anyways, thanks for stopping by again. I hope you enjoy this gameplay video and you should know that I have some more Halo Infinite content coming soon.

The Gears God has returned โ๏ธ If you have never played a Gears of War game before, you are sleeping so heavily on the most goretastic third-person multiplayer game of all-time. Imagine combining Unreal Tournament with your darkest dreams. The original Gears of War game blew my mind when it came out on Xbox 360 back in November of 2006. I had never played a game quite like it and still have yet to find anything that is equal.
My new gaming goal was to bounce in and out of cover and get close enough to pop my enemy's head with a Gnasher shotgun. If that wasn't your thing, you also had the option of firing up the chainsaw attached to your Lancer assault rifle to shred anything in your path in the most gruesome manner.
Gears was the most graphically advanced game that I had played back in those early 360 days. Plus the gameplay was addicting and something new for once. Since it all started, there have been other releases that have allowed the series to continually evolve. Gears 2, 3, Judgement, 4, and most recently 5. Gears 5 is what I will be playing in today's video.
It has been several years since I last played a Gears of War game heavily. Judgment was the last Gears game that I actually owned, which came out in 2013. I was into that for about 7 or 8 months and then the next-gen consoles came out. I picked up a PS4 and haven't owned an Xbox since. I briefly played Gears 4 for a couple of days when it launched in 2016, but I never owned it.
I can say without a doubt, it has been over 5 years since I last played Gears. I've been missing Gears and my skills have gathered quite a bit of dust thanks to my lack of play. Luckily I have not forgotten how to pop heads and am ready to get back into this game. I wouldn't have the opportunity to play this without Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Let's get into this. I'll have several more Gears videos coming soon. I hope you enjoy this one. Just a heads up, I do absolutely terrible in this game. It's a hardcore reminder of just how much skill it takes to be good at Gears.

We eat tonight! It's been way too long since I spent some time blowing enemies to tiny bits with my gnasher, but finally, that hiatus is ending. At last, I am getting my very first experience of playing Gears 5. I briefly played Gears 4 when it launched, but haven't had my own Xbox since 2013. What is funny is that I still don't have an Xbox, but I'm still able to play this game on my M1 iMac thanks to Xbox Cloud Gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
I nearly forgot just how much I loved Gears. This is my favorite cover-based third-person shooter series of all time. Bouncing off walls and landing the perfect shotgun blast to the dome seriously never gets old. My skills with this game are going to come back to me quickly, I've played hundreds, if not thousands of hours of Gears games over the course of my life. I can still remember when the original Gears of War came out and I started grinding for that Seriously... achievement for 10,000 kills on Xbox 360.
Although I am loving Xbox Cloud Gaming, I encountered my first connection issue while using this streaming service. Luckily it was nothing major and didn't happen while I was in a game. The game paused for about 10 seconds and then loaded back up just fine. Not sure exactly what happened. My connection is solid, so I guess it was just an odd error. It hasn't happened again since. Beware that Xbox Cloud Gaming is still in Beta, so this service is far from perfect.
In this game, I play a match of Control on a map called Forge. I managed to get placed on the Swarm team, formerly the Locust if you're an OG like me. I had a slow start but got to blasting away with my Gnasher eventually. It just feels so good when you nail the perfect shot in Gears. Not many games can reach this level of intensity.
Thanks for watching this video. I have more Gears 5 videos coming, so if you liked this be sure to come back again soon. I hope you enjoyed the gameplay and the fact that I'm finally getting to include my face cam with the footage. I feel like this makes my videos so much better. What do you think?

Infinite Halo Infinite for $1 Xbox's Cloud Gaming has allowed me to experience that I thought I may never get to play. My first month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate cost me a mere dollar and allows me to stream some of my favorite Xbox games straight to my M1 iMac. It's pretty crazy how well all of this works.
I have been dying to play Halo Infinite and finally, I have received my chance. I have refused to pick up an Xbox Series X/s, but I've found a way to play Halo without needing to own an Xbox. Sure, this isn't the best way to experience this game, but I'm still getting to play it.
In this video, watch as I play my first recorded Halo Infinite game. This one is a match of Team Slayer on Aquarius. I am especially excited because I am now easily able to record my face cam while playing. That means you not only get to see my gameplay and hear my voice, but you can finally see my facial expressions along with it. I'm a pretty animated dude, so that is worth quite a bit.
I hope you enjoy the video and stay on the lookout for more Halo Infinite content and further review of Xbox Cloud Gaming. I look forward to trying some more games, such as Gears 5 and maybe even Forza Horizon 5 at some point.

Rare Ghosts now are being minted The whitelisted presale has officially kicked off over on https://www.rareghostclub.com/. This is the only URL where you can get a Rare Ghost, all other websites are scams. Do not fall for DMs from accounts that look like familiar names such as Rare Ghost Bot or LordWave. It is crucial that you only send your ETH through https://www.rareghostclub.com/.
Just before the presale began, we had our 3rd AMA. LordWave and Dollar took about an hour of their time to discuss any last-minute questions about minting. You can listen to the entire AMA above if you missed it last night, I've got a recording at the top of this post. You can also recap AMA 1 and AMA 2 in my previous blogs.
How to mint Now let's walk through the steps of minting your Rare Ghosts. Remember that there is a maximum of 3 Rare Ghosts per wallet during the presale. You will be able to mint more during the public sale, which starts Friday (around 10:30 pm EST). Be sure to join the Discord to be the first to know the exact time of the public sale https://discord.gg/sx82CesCST.
Now listen closely so that you can understand how to mint your Rare Ghost(s)
First, you must connect your wallet to https://www.rareghostclub.com/. As you can see below, many wallets are compatible.
After that, you will have the option to select a quantity. Each Rare Ghost costs .08 ETH. You can watch the Gas fee calculator just below that. Check the image below for a visual.
If you are using MetaMask, your browser plugin will look like this next screenshot. Remember that if you are not satisfied with the gas price, you can always back out of the transaction before confirming. You will not lose your spot on the whitelist if you cancel. You have 48 hours to mint during the presale, so be patient and wait for the gas fees to be as low as possible. The image below shows the potential cost of minting 3 Rare Ghosts at once, which is generally cheaper than doing them individually.
After you mint your Rare Ghost it will be in your wallet in approximately 30 seconds. For the time being, the image that shows on https://opensea.io/ (once you connect your wallet there) will be a placeholder image. The reveal will happen after the public sale is finished. Once all 10,000 Rare Ghosts have been minted by the end of this weekend, your true images will populate in your account.
That's all there is to it The process is pretty simple, but I understand that many are still fresh to crypto and NFTs. I hope that this guide of mine provided you with a reasonable explanation as to how the process will go. If you didn't get whitelisted, you will still follow these same steps during the public sale. Be prepared to see much higher gas fees during the public sale. Also, you will have to worry about the remainder of the supply selling out, so you'll want to be there as soon as the public sale goes live. During the presale, you do not have to worry about the supply running out.
As long as you join the Discord https://discord.gg/sx82CesCST, then you will have info about the public sale start time.
Good luck getting your desired amount of Rare Ghosts. This is @daltono wishing you well. May prosperity be with you.

RGC AMA 2 is on the blockchain Last night, Rare Ghost Club held its second AMA. If you missed the first one, you can find my recap here https://peakd.com/hive-146421/@daltono/rare-ghost-club-ama1.
As you have probably already seen at the beginning of this post, I recorded the entire AMA this time around. Of course, you have the option of listening to all of it if you missed out, or maybe you just want to go back over something that you heard while listening live. The AMA recording is posted on 3Speak, which is a decentralized video platform on Hive.
If you do not have time to listen to the entire AMA, then you came to the right blog. In this post, I will be breaking down all of the most important information that was discussed by LordWave and dollar.
An ocean full of info The whitelist is officially closed. Congrats to those that were whitelisted and gained access to the presale to be guaranteed to mint a Rare Ghost. The mint price will be .08 ETH (+ gas fees) for both the presale and the public sale. This means that even if you didn't get whitelisted, you will have the same base price of .08 ETH and an opportunity to mint your own Rare Ghost. The main difference is that gas fees will be higher during the public sale. To be safe, have at least .1 ETH in your wallet to mint one Rare Ghost. The minting process will take place entirely on https://www.rareghostclub.com/. About 70% of the 10,000 Rare Ghosts supply will likely be sold during the presale.
For those that are whitelisted, the presale will begin on Wednesday, Oct 27th. The exact time is TBA, but it was estimated that it would be around the same time as this last AMA (approx 10 pm EST). Those on the whitelist will be allowed to mint a maximum of 3 Rare Ghosts during the presale period. You can always mint more during the public sale, but you will have to compete with a much larger market at that point and the limit there is yet to be announced (more than 3 obviously). The whitelist presale will last exactly 48 hours. Gas prices will vary throughout that period, it is up to you to choose when you wish to mint. There will be a gas fee bot in the Discord group to help you find the cheapest time to mint.
There is no benefit to minting first, the Rare Ghosts will be totally randomized and each one unique. The lone Legendary Rare Ghost could be the first ghost minted, but it could just as easily be the very last one minted. This may occur during the presale or perhaps during the public sale. Even the founders do not know, it is encoded within the smart contract. This is one of the many beautiful things about blockchain technology, this whole process is fair for everyone involved.
The public sale will start 20-30 minutes after the presale is finalized. During that small window, the Rare Ghost Club website will be down and then right back up. This means that the public sale should be officially underway Friday evening sometime. Again the times aren't exact yet, but the days are as long as everything goes as planned.
There will soon be a #minting channel in the Discord group if you are curious to learn more about the process before it begins. If you haven't already, join now https://discord.gg/sx82CesCST and stop missing out! We just surpassed 25k members in barely a week. Those who hold at least one Rare Ghost will also have access to exclusive channels in the near future, such as a private lounge.
As soon as you mint, you will receive your Rare Ghost NFT. At that point, a placeholder Rare Ghost image will be viewable in your https://opensea.io/ account. Everyone will have the same image until the true images are revealed. Which Rare Ghosts you minted will not be known until 6 and 48 hours after the public sale is totally sold out (devs need time to check the metadata). If we do another estimate, that means by the end of next weekend you most likely will know which Rare Ghost(s) are yours.
Another sleeper announcement was that whoever mints the only Legendary Rare Ghost will receive the box that LordWave teased in the Discord chat. A simple search will give you a hint of what is inside. You can see https://www.nycluxury.com/ printed on the box below Rare Ghost Club. It could be a chain, watch, bracelet... nobody knows yet, but what is inside of the box is supposed to be revealed on Discord soon.
The last big announcement was the existence of Rare Ghost companions down the road. This means that if you hold your Rare Ghost, you will be eligible for more NFTs in the future. This is called an airdrop, which translates to free things just for holding your Rare Ghost. Don't make the mistake of minting your Rare Ghost and then immediately selling it on the market after the public sale, especially if you are only able to mint just one.
It has been confirmed that there will be tons of Rare Ghost Club merch coming to https://pinkdolphinonline.com/ in the future. It's safe to say that these items will be exclusive to holders of Rare Ghosts. If you were there for the RGC+SupDucks collab, then you know how it works.
The many benefits of being a Rare Ghost Club member are already beginning to stack up. Things are just barely getting underway still, there is much more to come. You can bet that I will be keeping you up to date with everything Rare Ghost Club here on my blog. Don't forget the name @daltono. All you have to do to find my page is go to http://daltono.com
May prosperity find each and every one of you. I have mad love for the #GhostGang. We are in this together.
