We lost 4 million USD on FTX in November 2022, when FTX filed for bankruptcy. It was a gigantic hit to our runway.

935 days and 18 hours later, we finally got our first payout.

This is just the beginning, and we will be receiving a minimum of 140% to 173%.

But you know what? It was not the only disaster we survived.

We lost 3 million USD from our $10M commitments right after the Russia-Ukraine war started, because some investors ghosted us despite signing the agreements.

Many more things went wrong, before and after. Still, we are here, and building one of the most promising games out there. So you should ask: how? Especially when you know so-called web3 games are falling like flies these days, and the traditional gaming industry is facing various difficulties.

Let's start from web3. Our investors know, I told them 99.9% of the web3 games would die. Funny thing is, many of them raised fifty, a hundred, even two hundred million USD. What did they deliver? Trash. I wouldn’t even call most of those abominations “games.” Sorry if you’re offended, but we both know you never intended to build an honest game. You never cared about your players. You were here to build a fake story, FOMO people in, and dump your sh*t tokens on your own community, therefore betraying them. So really, I’m glad you’re all dying. (Yeah, maybe I wasn’t sorry after all. But remember, its good for the broader industry to wash the bad actors away.)

It’s equally funny to see that nowadays many of them trying to hide their web3 roots. You might wonder why, all of a sudden, they’re trying to change their masks. Well, it’s not the first time. You know, a while back they suddenly became “AI companies,” hoping that hot narrative might save them. When that also failed, they finally realized they needed REAL players. After all, speculation can only carry you so far.

They all failed. It was too late for them to realize THEY HAD TO MAKE A BLOODY GOOD GAME.

When I was giving speeches about the importance of unique selling points, about positioning your product in the right market niche and all, they were telling me, "Who cares about the product? You should focus on listing."

Listing? The only list we have is the glorious list of dead web3 games, which will only grow longer.

Meanwhile, traditional gaming also suffered, due to a lack of creativity, endless remakes (some of them were good though), and soulless creations. But of course, I wouldn’t even dare to put web3 gaming in the same basket as traditional gaming. That would be a cardinal sin.

An equal sin would be categorizing Angelic as a web3 game, at least with the current definition of it. We’ve said it millions of times, since the beginning, we do not define Angelic as a web3 game, or a blockchain game. Our blockchain features will be ENTIRELY different from what you’ve seen so far in other titles. We never sold a single NFT. We never let anyone hurt our players for speculative gains.

That’s why since 2021, we’ve been on Steam. (And if you think Steam didn’t notice our upcoming blockchain features, you’re wrong. They evaluated our product multiple times. They know what we’re planning, and that’s why they allow us on Steam.)

Also, that’s why Epic Games does not categorize Angelic as a blockchain/NFT game (go check our store). They know what we’re building, and purposefully they did not add that blockchain tag.

Now, before you get the wrong idea, I still believe blockchain can be a good sidekick feature, and I’m also aware there are some good actors in this space. I also don’t enjoy seeing more and more studios getting closed, especially feeling sorry for their team members. But again, this was bound to happen. Inevitable.

To be honest, I don’t think there is a single web3 game out there that has the slightest chance to win in the long term. None of them have any competitive edge. Most of them are either generic shooters, or bad copycats of existing established traditional games, or outright rip-offs. Most of them are usually just marketplace asset games. Therefore, of course a traditional player wouldn’t bother with such terrible titles. Why would they?

Anyways, I’m so proud of my team and myself. We never got lured by this Play2Earn or Whatever2Earn nonsense (btw, the proper naming for this stupid model is Play2GetScammed, thank me later). We always focused on building a beautiful game. And despite being unfairly treated by the universe, with all the calamities thrown at us, we managed to build by far the most promising game.

We also protected ourselves from the risks we see in the traditional gaming vertical by staying completely independent. We haven’t sold a single share of equity so far, which means we are 100% independent. And we kept our daring spirit alive, never shying away from testing unique mechanics, bold ideas, and keeping our creativity burning.

Returning to the original topic, now that we received a big chunk from our FTX claim, and knowing that we will be getting way more, just imagine what we could do with all these resources.

As I said earlier, some preferred "Lambos", we focused on building a legacy. And our legacy is only beginning.

What attracts me to conservatism is how it approaches mental health. The liberal view tends to frame problems as externally caused—by society, by bad parenting, or by brain chemistry you can’t control.

It encourages an external locus of control, which often leads to more despair. Even calls to destigmatize mental illness often suggest that the burden is on society to adapt, not the individual.

The conservative approach is healthier because it emphasizes personal agency. It holds that if your life isn’t working, you have the power to do something about it—by changing your thinking, your circumstances, or both.

That takes sustained effort, which is why the liberal approach appeals—it’s easier to blame something else than take responsibility.

Most mental health struggles—aside from severe mental illness—aren’t fixed. Recovery starts when you choose to take control of your life.

@IamSean90 Is it just me or does this guy seem like he is acting the effect? I mean putting a thicker accent on purpose when the thing is "off"?

@IamSean90 I only liked the last episode, but it also was Meh.

Epidaurus today. Famed for its remarkable acoustics, the ancient Greek theatre could hold around 15,000 spectators. The geographer Pausanias says ‘the Epidaurian theatre designed by Polycleitus is unrivalled in its symmetry and beauty, and in my opinion very well worth seeing!’

[Petar Kotevski @PeroColera]

@OptimoPrincipi You can hear people's footsteps in the sand on the stage all they way up from the last row.

[Petar Kotevski @PeroColera]

@NilesSankey Haha no one tried this I bet, there is a noticeable lag between input and update - but still damn impressive that it's that stable.

@ShannonJoyRadio @X Have you tried only using the Following tab, and never the For You tab? I find those two experiences completely different.

I know it's popular to hate on shifting the clock, but it's actually good. In the spring, I can come home from work and play outside with the kids until 7pm. And in the summer, I don't have to deal with 4am sunrises.

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

Picking truth over tribe isn’t easy. It means calling out BS even when it’s our side, and people will react. But if we don’t, we’re just sheep and drones. Truth keeps us sharp, honest, and actually worth a damn. Blind loyalty? That’s for haters and losers.

@JustineBateman Wow and this is very actor performance centric, a very big contrast to Look. I wonder if this is on purpose.
