Full Circle~Perseverance. A Snook Ramble

in #dtube4 years ago (edited)




Steem can show you how circular life can be. My third post, My first twitch broadcast, on Steem was horrible. It had a terrible video of me playing Hearthstone live on Twitch. The text that accompanied the post was... Let's be nice and say bad.

I was still just me but that is all the post had going for it!

The wonderful part about my third post on the Steem Blockchain is how two years later I can go back and see how far I have progressed.

I can see how I have grown in writing, editing video footage, and blogging in general. I am proud of how far I have come in two years.



The last month has not been the best month ever in my life. The last two weeks rate right up there as the worst two weeks ever. In order to take my mind off of everything, I opened up my old main Hearthstone gaming account.



Hearthstone is an electronic card game along the lines of SteemMonsters. What I loved, even now, is Hearthstone is a lot like chess but not as boring. It makes you think, plan ahead, and do math problems. <okay I don't like the math part. 😆

Two years of not playing Hearthstone, a game with three new expansions each year, at my skill level means you can not compete on any level unless you throw hundreds of dollars at it.

Not an option for me.

Money was one of the reasons why I stopped playing Hearthstone. In order to stay somewhat current and competitive, three times each year money was needed to get about 60% of the newest cards. Yeah.



One of the great things about playing Hearthstone and being on Steem was when SteemMonsters came out I saw it was a lot like Hearthstone. I ended up giving all my cards to @Enginewitty. I had been down that slippery slope before!! I will keep my Steem in my wallet thank you very much! 😹



Perseverance



It's a big word. It has some bad connotations associated with it but also very good ones.

The word stubborn comes to mind when I think of perseverance. I have been called stubborn a time or a gazillion in my life. I am okay with that. If I didn't have perseverance in my life I would never have learned all the cool things I have over my 55 years of living.

In the video above starting at timestamp 3:09, I get into a Hearthstone match against a top tier player with a tier 1 deck. I was playing a Murloc Shaman deck. I should have given up playing against them at least 3 times. I didn't. I never concede a game until I am dead. What does it hurt to keep trying?



What does this have to do with Steem? Looking at my third post most people would have given up. Most people would have said it wasn't a quality post and should never have been posted on Steem.

I say the third Steem post of mine is beautiful to me in so many ways. It shows how far I have come. How I never gave up against all odds. How no matter what happens in my life I persevered with Steem and became a better person for it.

That, and I won against the Preist Deck!! 🙀

Hey if you like Hearthstone you should give Gods Unchained a try. It's basically that but better and uses the blockchain for true ownership of cards and many other things. :)

I don't have an Ethereum wallet..... it looks cool though from the website!!

I'd recommend this one https://metamask.io/

It's basically like Steem's Keychain, let's you create a wallet as well. :)

hehehe I'm level 9 :D

You enjoying it? :D

I AM :D I'm level 20 , I+ in ranking,something now......... but I saw they are having a preorder and that is when.........things will change.......

but Yes, having a ton of fun!! I got 3 people to sign up need 2 more

and I have over 2000 raffle coins but can not use them until I get 2 more........

They did a great job making it......

making decks is a bit hard...... but I don''t know all the cards yet.......

so THANK YOU!! :D

Thanks!! I have a wallet now and received 3 free decks. Not sure I can play with what I have but at least I have an account :D

Thank You again!

This both was both uplifting and inspiring at the same time. Coming from a new steemian, your words empower me to stick with it, to keep going, because who knows where I can be in two years. You have a beautiful soul, and I am glad you didn't give up!

sorry I am so late getting back to you. Please know your words touched my heart. This platform has changed my life in so many ways.... and no, do not give up. You never know what you will learn. I sure didn't LOLL

Happy Monday to you!! and Thank you so much for your very kind words.

Shame you didn't hang in there with Splinterlands... It has turned out great, and the best part is you can upgrade your cards with your earnings from playing.
Always, makes me smile when I hear you laugh #PYPT

I do not like pressing a button and the game is already done. I like deciding each turn what cards I play. I like moving parts LOLL

You really should try Gods Unchained it is so much better and cooler. I have become a bit addicted to it. LOLL

That link is my referral link if you want to see what it is all about.

and Thank You!! I love knowing if I am laughing you are smiling!!

I signed up ages ago. Haven't played in a while though.

@snook,

First... thank you for sharing on the #pypt...

Second, besides the video, this was a great post, my friend.

The last month has not been the best month ever in my life. The last two weeks rate right up there as the worst two weeks ever. In order to take my mind off of everything, I opened up my old main Hearthstone gaming account.

I won't keep on... and type words that may not have the meaning I want them to... just know you are being thought of, and I LOVE that you share gaming on here... because I love gaming!!

You are welcome. I am happy you READ the post LOLL I need to be more careful on my thumbnails so they don't look like a gaming post :D

and yeah, I go down to see her the beginning of next month....so we will see what happens.

I hope you are feeling okay too

HUGS

Nice to catch up with you again at #PYPT ..... you know, that place where all the cool cats hang out!!

we are SO freaking cool in PYPT :D Best place to be to laugh on a Thursday!!!

Here is my referral link. Gods Unchained It IS a really cool game and they are still making it but in October.....like 10 days? I think it's going to open Beta. You should give it a try!!

There has not been poker so :D let's play cards that kill things :D

Big hugs to you. I have been hardly on Steem (compared to how much I used to be here ) and wanted to stop by. Sounds your life is challenging right now. Sending you love ❤️

I have been wondering where you have been. I have not seen you either. Yes, life just keeps dumping on me and I'm getting pretty tired of it but I'm afraid to see what is next...I really can not handle much more LOLL

I hope you are happy. HUGE HUGS!!
