I really haven't received the testing invitation for the new game Atia's Legacy at @Axie Infinity . I haven't received any replies for pre-registration and the pre-test email registration, so I had to privately ask Gabby, the founder of YGG, for some playtest codes to try out myself. I also wanted to get some benefits for my KYC chain game player community friends. I was honored to be referred by Gabby to Jihoz, the founder of Sky Marvis, who personally arranged for me a generous total of 41 test codes.

The new game Axie Infinity is a mobile/PC cross-platform MMO. The test version is still single-player gameplay, where players use their own Axie crabs to battle monsters, collect dropped coins to upgrade equipment and character skills, and can also buy other Axie characters with different attributes to train. Then, they pay a coin ticket to enter the dungeon, and each character only has one life; if they die, they must exit and start over.

This test currently doesn't allow direct gold farming, but there is a leaderboard, and the players who reach the highest dungeon levels will receive rewards.

After playing for a few hours, I feel that the combat experience and controls are very smooth. Technically, I'm still a bit inexperienced; I can currently only reach the 2nd level of the 10-level dungeon.

Thinking about the 7 Axie NFTs I bought for 2000u in 2021 that can be activated for use in this new game makes me a bit excited.

Is X cleaning up zombie accounts? My followers dropped from 7100+ to 6900+.

There should be fewer zombie accounts in the Binance Square, after all, everyone needs to go through KYC once.

Wrapping up my GDC trip to San Francisco in March.

It's the first time I booked my hotel with a Decentralized Travel Agency @NOMADZxyz and paid with USDC on Solana.

The hotel check-in was quite smooth with no difference from my former booking through trip.com, Agoda or on GDC website.

The price shown here was about 30u more than the Web2 same-day booking options mentioned above.

But the 30u price difference can be neglected considering there will be some extra USD/SGD conversion fees if to pay with my Singapore OCBC credit card.

And paying in USDC on Solana was quite convenient as I have hoarded some SOL 、USDC and USDT on Sonala.

The only concern is the reimbursment: I am working for a China-based company. So this invoice which addresses USDC as payment currency might be rejected by the commany Finance.

Hope it went through, LOL.

From the user's configuration of Lobster and the degree of all-in use of Lobster, it should be possible to determine this user's MBTI personality traits, whether EN or IN.
​
​Those who can comfortably hand over their computer memory, various accounts, and various behavioral habits to Lobster management, opening their arms to use their raw data and mint AI assistants with tokens, are likely EN, naively adorable E.

As an IN with a sunny exterior and a dark interior like me, I cannot accommodate Lobster's [fear][fear].

My needs and habits, which can be seen and collected, are what I am willing to share with the outside world; otherwise, no one can record or probe, so do not come to record or probe.

It's just like the ad tracking on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, which I must have turned off.

Unless it is LBS games or takeout, the location sharing of various apps is also definitely turned off.
​
​I will first see how you all make Lobster fun.

Another blockchain game project, Wildlife, can be considered a rug pull where players are cut off and run away.

Being a KOL in Web3 is an extremely risky thing.

After cheering for a project for several years, when the project finally launches, it ruthlessly cuts users, and the KOL cannot escape responsibility.

Being scolded is mild.

If the affected users report to the police, they might be regarded as accomplices and become defendants. Do you still want to return home? Do you still want to go abroad? If so, don't get involved.

So I don't take advertisements, no matter how much they offer, project parties shouldn't look for me, and I don't do exchange commissions. I only write about my experiences playing blockchain games and share my real game data as a player.

I don't take ads, I don't accept money from others. When the project parties do something wrong, I can raise doubts and criticisms at any time, even curse at them.

When all the leeks have been cut down, this market will disappear.

No matter how high the KOL's level is, it is very difficult to make accurate judgments about the subsequent actions of the project parties at the early stage of a project.

So, don't accept advertising fees from Web3 projects, don't do their work. Taking someone’s money means being indebted to them.

Using other people's money to relieve disasters is professional ethics; encountering unscrupulous project parties means being an accomplice.

Stop being a KOL, go find a decent job instead. Not dragging others down is a virtue.

Why am I still writing about blockchain games?

It’s because I’m bored and love playing games, so I am a player, a player who pays for services.

I have income from a Web2 job, and the Web2 business isn’t doing well, so I’m not busy with work.

In 2023-2024, I worked for one year as a full-time BD for the Korean blockchain game Seraph.

The assets and identities represented by blockchain games are encrypted. Game assets are owned by players, trading freely among players, and players participate in project construction, co-building with the project parties... These are very beautiful visions.

I thought this track would have a pretty good prospect, and I thought Seraph could create a set of norms.

I can only say: after watching so many blockchain game projects over the past four years, I feel very regretful.

Cathy's gaming player WeChat group today's quote:

"When I see the three letters nft, I feel like throwing up"

It's true, Cathy feels the same way when she sees the three letters nft.

Nft has been ruined by unscrupulous project teams, all project teams are unscrupulous, with 0.0001% exceptions.

No matter what nft, those who bought and still hold it now are just being taken advantage of, with a field of green chives on their heads.

Look at my large collection of SR and S-tier meme pets, doesn't it feel like I'm very wealthy?

Use my link to add me as a friend in the game, and I can give you pets!

Take your time to understand why I haven't made any money after playing blockchain games for years.

Because I only love spending money on buying this and that in the game, even when there are good items, I can't bear to sell them... I hold onto them until the end.

The blockchain gaming industry should take good care of players like me!

This is not an advertisement, there is no advertising fee, just pure support for some fun blockchain games.

I hope one or two of them can emerge and open up the landscape of blockchain gaming!

Starting today, I will play this AR meme game, Pokémon style, wandering around to catch meme animals. If I catch a high-level rare meme animal, I can open a blind box to get token drops.

The first meme token drop I got from the blind box was 60,000 pepe coins, worth 0.2u.

The interactions in the game are directly related to the subsequent token airdrops.

You can easily catch one without spending.

The invitation link is in the comments.

Learn to quickly integrate WeChat with OpenClaw.
​
​To be honest: regular users can simply create a Claude account to use the question and search function, and that’s enough.
​
​There are still many inaccuracies in the search results, requiring multiple verifications; large models still spout nonsense.
​
​I can't give much more trust.
​
Therefore, OpenClaw doesn’t have many use cases for me, mainly because I have very high demands for the results.
​
It's just for fun, not very meaningful.
​
The quality of serious work is also not high.
​
Don’t waste too much time and tokens on test-level products.

The era of collaboration in cryptocurrency payment has begun with last week's acquisition of BVNK's crypto payment infrastructure by Mastercard for $1.8 billion, alongside a public chain called 'Layer1'.
​
The age of cryptocurrency payments has started, and soon we will enter a warring states period.

Who knows which 'Qin' will unify the six states?

The essence of AI is anti-social.
​
​The more problems AI can solve, the less necessity there is to communicate with real people.
​
​AI will also weaken various real social networks: WeChat, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Soul.
​
It can be predicted: these real social networks, in pursuit of realness, will certainly reject AI content.
​
​AI and dogs are not allowed inside.

In terms of real human presence, dogs are ranked ahead of AI.

3.11-19, completed the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco + Nvidia's GTC in San Jose within a week, and returned to Singapore on the morning of the 19th.

Feeling a lot:

1. There are no discussions on Web3 games at GDC anymore.

2. The only Web3 exhibitor is the Korean game public chain Nexus/Cross.

3. Everyone is discussing AI-native games and AI game development pipelines.

4. Sister Cathy has been in the 2D game art business for 14 years, and this time it really is going to die, soon to be completely gone.

Mastercard announced the acquisition of BVNK for up to $1.8 billion, of which $300 million is a "earn-out clause." This price represents a significant premium over its Series B valuation.

Previously, Coinbase had also approached to acquire BVNK for about $2 billion, but the discussions fell through around November last year.

This acquisition by Mastercard surpasses Stripe's acquisition of Bridge for $1.1 billion, becoming the largest stablecoin acquisition in the crypto industry to date.

BVNK was established in 2021 and is headquartered in London, UK, positioning itself as a provider of native payment infrastructure for stablecoins aimed at corporate and institutional clients.

BVNK offers enterprise-level stablecoin infrastructure, enabling global businesses to conduct fast, compliant payments and digital asset operations. Key features include: virtual accounts, fiat/stablecoin conversions, cross-border payments, global payroll settlement, etc. Clients can choose between "custodial payments" or "self-custody payments (Layer1)" modes.

It's strange that this self-custody payment Layer1 chain is unknown, but upon checking, I found out that it's a public chain built by BVNK, and the public chain is named Layer1.

The homophonic pun has already started...

Has anyone taken the autonomous taxi 'Carrot Run' in Wuhan? How was the experience, was it stable, and was the price expensive?

Thanks to an old friend, I had the opportunity to experience a Waymo autonomous taxi in San Francisco, in a Jaguar vehicle. The ride was very smooth for an hour, and the three of us in the car chatted without having to worry about the road conditions or the driver overhearing our conversation. It is said that the fare is also cheaper than that of a human-driven taxi!
​
Without government humanitarian regulation, mass unemployment for taxi drivers is likely to happen soon...

Tonight, Immutable's VIP Party during GDC will showcase two blockchain games: one is Ubisoft's Might & Magic Fates card game, and the other is a city-building and nurturing game called Goblins of Elderstone.
​
​Ubisoft's blockchain games have long been hopeless; their last card game, Champions Tactics, saw its NFT value nearly drop to zero. Now they are releasing another card blockchain game based on their classic Might & Magic IP. I wonder why they are so eager to monetize?
​
​As for this new game Goblins, I watched a streamer play it live for a while, and it seemed pretty good. I'll give it a try after GDC.

IMX is indeed one of the few public chains that still insists on the blockchain gaming track! For this, we must give Immutable a thumbs up!

Tencent Games is still awesome, with two huge booths: one showcasing its product development tools series and the other for recruitment.

The entire GDC exhibition hall only has XBOX and Roblox with large booths displaying some major games and content.

Among domestic developers, there is also a slightly larger booth for Snail Games.

I haven't found the booths for the two major engines, Epic and Unity, yet.

Meta's booth mainly showcases their Meta Quest VR headset series.

Most are game development service providers: platforms like meta/discord, art outsourcing, AI tools, motion capture, payment, cloud services, Nvidia graphics cards, Discord gaming community platform, etc.
