It feels like the more you purposefully play with the board, the more the cards help you. Hoping I can vibe my way to 5k before I have to sit down and think.

Addiction is proving hard to beat.

Funnily enough, this was my second Royal Flush. I hit an earlier one while trying to do the Straight Flush quest. I didn't know Royal Flushes were a thing yet! And so, I lost. 🥲

Finally, I cleared Based Poker Quest (= all quests completed). 😀 This has been the best experience I've had on the Platform-Formerly-Known-As-Farcade. (So far. I have no doubt we're in for a stream of bangers.) I love games that make me learn. I know nothing about poker, so the learning curve was double layered here. I got to familiarize myself with all the various rules, gradually increasing both my pattern recognition and my ability to use the game board itself. @insidethesim.eth posted a video of the top player (Lize4? TightCourt?) we unjustly suspected of cheating, proving he could do royal flushes with ease. Each round, that player took a couple seconds to think, then slid the cards fast. This helped me a lot. For some reason it never dawned on me I could slide the mouse. I would always click cards one by one, which was slow and error-prone. Funnily enough, I think I differ with the advice ITS himself posted: focusing on the quests seems to work best for me. 1/2

If I keep my mind focused on the quest at hand, I tend to progress faster. It acts as a guide, and I rack up points as I set it up anyway. Plus, having a big buffer timer feels nicer than to live in fear of the last seconds bell. That one always kills my concentration! This is such an excellent game. I consider myself done, mostly because I need to quit the addiction - if only we had more than 24 hours in a day. Even then, I know I won't be able to keep myself from coming back.

Ah shoot, this was meant to quote @v's post about trying videos. But Farcaster breaks when you try to quotetweet *and* attach a picture/video.

In unrelated news, this account is now about reposting AI videos. (source: https://x.com/doopiidoop/status/1947763506734109100 )

UI is a bit confusing here. There's a "boosted" visual in the top banner, but the identical "boosted" visual under your score links to a popup telling you you got boosted for funding your wallet with >$25. Are the boosts cumulative? Is one of them overriding the other visually?

I've earned $2 on the @base.base.eth app in the last week from just posting two casts of one word each. And I'm willing to send it all to you to you, so you have ~$30,002 to back creators and content on @base.base.eth, if you can tell the team: - please fix broken "edit profile", plain unresponsive (maybe Android problem only?) - please add some kind of mute/block/fewer-like-this options to the social feed

Most of my hard work made me $0, and most of the lame stuff I did made me fortunes. It really soured me on capitalism, I think. The Invisible Hand of the Free Market lacks a Brain.

Sorry, maybe the first post wasn't clear: what I mean is my social feed is basically unreadable! I don't have an option to mute people, to block people, or to at least show I don't want to see a post. So it's a stream of nonsense. Like literal nonstop nonsense. Facebook-tier "cats make me happy" "what a nice day today" "i rode on a boat on the first time" "this new tipping app is revolutionary" "i'm bullish on $SHITCOIN" It's not even a question of my wants in navigation. It's moreso I literally have no options to navigate! I'm steering a ship with no wheel here.

You need to be invited to the channel first. The devs post them pretty often. I'm not sure if they expire, but a search for @blackstock, @chuckstock ... Might lead you to the right place.

I'm just wondering how do people make it work, really. But phrasing the question in public is often an answer. I'm guessing: most people have just one account, connected that one existing account, imported their social graph, have a feed that shows their follows. + less sensivity to mid in general than my grumpy ass. For a completely fresh account like mine, it's straight to the influencer mines.

Base App airdrops my broken account who tweeted 2 words $2 in caster rewards. Alright, fine, I'll check the app a little deeper. But then the feed has no option whatsoever to mute / block / see less like this?! How do people use TBA? Post only and no browse? I can't see scrolling through all the mid content enjoyable in any way.

Remix. It's not even close. Every other hugely popular mini app is based on speculation.

Honestly I could see a game riding the wave, with those visuals, doing extremely well with very simple gameplay. As in, it wouldn't need to be a full fledged open world RPG. It could be an infinite runner where you're locked in that perspective and you get to move your sword in one of three positions to hack at enemies showing up (mirroring the standard 3 lanes gameplay). Then you add stuff like, I don't know, a levelup system with ye olde medieval looking screen to make it RPGey. 😄
