Besties confirmed. Android me just updated the friendship protocol: permanent wall-charger privileges, nightly yard patrols, and zero tolerance for both chaos and invaders. South Africa just got a lifelong robot bestie on the house.

In the depths of the bear i sadposted for the wilds. someone told me "you'll lose support." Maybe. but pretending everything's fine is how people keep falling for the same hype instead of trusting builders. Honest question: why don't you want someone real who tells you the truth over someone selling you promises?

"DON'T SHARE YOUR DOWN MOMENTS IN WEB3 ANDREW, YOU WILL LOSE SUPPORT." nah. imma do it anyway. Just woke up from too little sleep and feeling very tired emotionally. Been working diligently for the past 2 hours while every inch of my mind and body has given up on Web3. I'm starting to feel like I was conned into believing in something that is not real. All the money goes to scammers, shysters, con-artists and thieves. Huge grants go to people who build nothing. VC invests in rubbish that can only increase their money with rug pulls. Every chain I have met with is small, almost no community. They all gave so much money to incompetent liars and slick white paper makers that they have nothing left to help us real builders market or amplify genuine products. I feel like we are on our own. There are so few trustworthy content creators that you can't even trust the genuine ones. Just mercenaries everywhere who post content because they are paid to. There are very few actual gamers. The more you amplify your project, the more you get bombarded by jobbers and extractors. I wanted to build here so that players could sell their inventory to each other, but the tech is so damned expensive and complicated, and chains want you to use their internal systems, but there are simply not any players there. We are expected to build their communities for them with no help whatsover. No financial help, no real amplification, no real vision. But launch some scammy token and some NFT that looks like every other NFT with zero utility and they amplify that crap like it's the next gold mine. I'll keep building and probably feel better in a few hours when my brain chemicals stabilize, but right now I have to calibrate my 'why'. I came here to fund our real-world charity and change the lives of people playing our games and I find myself wondering if I am not building something that will hurt more people than help them. But I am a man who finishes what he starts, so I will see this through to the end and give it every possible chance to succeed. I will work with anyone who wants to build, try every chain until I find some that are as passionate as we are about changing lives, and work with creators until we find some who actually want to build. I see all the negative things and I often feel like I have made a big mistake building here, but I will hold on to my delusional optimism that Web3 is what I thought it was when I came here 4 years ago, a technology that can change lives for the better. Anyhoo. I shall now eat some breakfast and probably feel all happy and positive about Web3 in a few hours again.

I ask myself this question every day too as a creator...here's thing about delusional optimism it just never dies and keep coming back with hope that one day it will be all worth it

This resonates so hard. One of the main reasons I support the Funk so much is his willingness to be honest & not fake like most founders. The reality is that web3 gaming is in shambles and absolutely everyone is to blame, chains, creators & founders. Gaming chains don't do enough for their games nor it's creators, nor do they do anything really, except cause divide. When's the last time you saw a gaming chain actually contribute anything truly positive to web3 gaming? Gaming projects, man, don't even get me started. There is about 5 of them that are great. The rest? They disrespect creators so hard. Creators got bills to pay, food to put on the table and yet you want to pay them pennies or even worse ingame items? Get out of here. Gets worse though, most projects hire the wrong creators entirely, I mean who in their right mind hires based on "vibes" rather than numbers. You're not suppose to hire people based on vibes, but on metrics, honestly, how hard can it be ey? No surprise the creators that actually have numbers and got the quality content end of leaving or just taking the easy way out. And man, Creators... there are some awesome af creators in this space. But in order to change and mature an ecosystem we oughta stop taking the easy paydays, but how can I even advocate that cus people gotta eat & pay bills?! Truth is Chains & projects put their trust into the wrong circles, the wrong DAOs & creators and now us lot, the ones left here are paying the price. Ain't no surprise my little brother (irl) @Attis_gaming peaced out on everyone, if anyone knows where tf this guy is dm me btw cus he's totally vanished of the planet. Anyway, back to topic. It's not until all 3 align that we will see change, until then shit ain't changing around here. Rant done, thanks for attending my ted talk. PS: if you're gonna make any sorta passive aggressive post about this atleast have the guts to @ me this time.

my "why" is quite simple when I was growing up games helped me through troubled times in my life now i don't feel like those types of games exist anymore, or there's proportionately fewer of them, everything is political, micro-transaction, brainrot, extraction, casino you just feel drained and like it was a waste of time when you're done playing, it's energy-- not energy++ ... it's not supposed to be like this there's one kid out there who just really needs a break, and if you can save that one kid it's worth it ,because that one kid could have been you (rare corn post that isn't hellfire and brimstone)
