1 tweet/storm to keep you up to date

In an insightful tweet, blocmates shared several life hacks that have enhanced their well-being. While I won't share the whole content of it, I encourage you to check out the full list on their feed. Here are a few that resonate with me, and some that I’ve incorporated into my routine for some years:

• Airport Fast Track: A friend recently told me about this so massive yes from me! It not only saves time and money but more importantly, curbs frustration and anger. If you've read my article about anger management, you'll know how much I value reducing these emotions.

• Credit Card: I also use an AMEX, given that France offers limited options. I've noticed that Revolut is introducing a new, more premium tier with added benefits. I'll be looking into that.

• Sleep Mode: I activate this at 22:30 until 9:00 the day after.

• DND on Phone: My phone is perpetually on silent. I receive minimal notifications and don't have social media apps installed.

• Morning Routine:

  • Wake-up with an alarm far from my bed

  • Shower

  • Meditation

  • Coffee & write down thoughts/goals of the day

  • Minimal phone use before 9 AM

Raiden consistently produces an excellent weekly newsletter, highlighting the significant news in web3 gaming. This week, one piece of news that caught my attention was about Fableborne's impressive $7.8 million raise.

Given the current market conditions, securing such a substantial amount is amazing. These funds will enable them to scale the game and ensure a longer financial runway, a luxury in today's climate.

Regarding the game itself, I had the opportunity to discuss with some of the team members and I'm genuinely eager to see their efforts come to life, particularly since they prioritize gameplay over a mere token-profit focus. While I might sound like a broken record on this topic, and though fewer developers are making this oversight, I find it essential to repeat myself (you know, old man things).

Today, the game launches its inaugural "Primordials" collection at 5 PM CET. Priced at under $40 each, this collection boasts 2023 units. I will be minting my own.
