A personal list of Gamefi action / learn items.Disclaimer → the truth is I am truly not gamer at heart (maybe one day). However, I respect and am very intrigued by the lifestyle and opportunities within the space. I do like to gamify my life and build positive feedback looks so I have always been interested in gamification in general.

I’m not really into fast-food BUT I have been known to enjoy a Frosty from Wendi’s every once in a while so I thought I would check out the Wendyverse. I was the only one there and I was kind of hoping I would actually be able to order food or interact with someone. BUT the games were kind of cool.https://www.adweek.com/commerce/wendys-brings-burgers-to-the-metaverse/ Weird Flex, but cool gold statue sis.Like I said completely empty and with no way to order food or even pretend to make a fros...

Tamagotchi pets meets online race gambling -- sign me up! I’ve been watching this project for a while and decided to jump in a few months back. This ZED racehorse was one of my first NFT purchases. This project is backed by Racecar so we can expect it will be around for a while. GambleFi NFTs make for a practical use case to me and (I think) has great potential with the general relaxing of gambling rules and regulations. I could see a future where friends meet up and race each other’s horses ...

Dusting off the old github account to learn solidify seems like a good move. Also, have been using this Bitdegree platform that helps gamify some of the learning I have been doing. This is the first of many smart contracts I plan to make! https://www.bitdegree.org/user/course/fungible-and-non-fungible-tokens-token-token-standards-when-to-use-which-and-why/216033 I’m so glad I learned node.js back in graduate school a decade ago. Back then it was fairly new but I really liked the modular appro...

Quick dive into the Occulus Development Hub. I figure I will need to get familiar with this tool for debugging and QAing POC meta experiences. It’s not my goal to become an expert since I don’t see myself as an Occulus developer in the future BUT It will be key to understand the basics and to at least have a dev account! So here we go.NotesI had some trouble downloading ODH on my older iMac so I had to download ODH on my newer laptop. My Mac doesn’t have m1 computer so couldn’t do Airlink wit...

I’ve seen this name come up a few times as a blockchain resource and thought maybe I would check it out. https://www.bitdegree.org/user/meat_east/profile Looks like they are building a Learnaverse which is going to be a metaverse for leaving about blockchain.

I like the overall concept of autograph - Make digital collectibles like playing cards but with the NFT technology layer. These collectibles have not made a lot of noise lately compared to other NFT projects but I have faith my Tony Hawk NFT will one day be worth something! Anything that Tom Brady owns or is a partner in has to be successful right?!?! Looking at you too FTX.I listed it for sale for 100,000 so Looking forward to someone buying this in the next 100 years! Smart move to integrat...

Super stoked to officially create my first generative art using Python. Previously I only used python in Jupyter for simple data calculations and graphing so I had to update my python version and install a few modules (Pillow) using node.js and homebrew.This is what I did!I took these three backgroundsAnd I layered my old 2D logo over top of the backgrounds.the Python Script ran and boom created 3 images.This is the tutorial I used and the code template I started with. What’s next?Pretty cool...

Of course, the first thing you have to do is set up your Avatar - check mine out below. Super Swaggy as the kids say!! I spent some time jumping around to a few different worlds and playing with some of the creator tools. My battery died a little fast, but I was starting to get a little dizzy by that point so maybe I don’t need the extra battery pack after all?I’m not a gamer, but I get it.The games were pretty cool, and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t see themselves as a “Gamer”.
