This may be my last post for a while, especially around my wrestling with the InLeo front end. God knows I tried and tried to have faith in our Devs behind It but in my thinking its turning into a phobia. As much as I want to see Hive thrive and become main stream, I spent far too many hours away from my family needs I’ll need to step back. But my images won't upload and I'm posting late.

My ability to write has deteriorated, accompanied by the feeling that it was more like work rather than the enjoyment of writing. I’ve already spend too much time correcting my grammar, spelling and errors on top of second guessing our quirky front end wondering if my block chain interaction was actually completed, landing on a link somewhere other than the place I should be, and most often that “Error 300, were working on it.” screen. This post will be my forth of four InLeo trial posts and the Jury will be deliberating soon.
My most glaring need is to make up for lost time with my adult kids. Pulling double duty plus Hive over the last six years took a health toll on me and apparently it took a toll between myself and my sons. I missed far too many milestones.
I’ve set an evening together to do a family activity; Movie Night, an evening at the local arcade, shopping together, attend a local festival, the options are wide open. Lately it started with the popular world building game Minecraft but it wasn’t long until that shifted over to a different Minecraft, Deep Rock Galactic! On the Steam game platform.
A game first developed back in 2020 by Ghost Ship Games and published under Coffee Stain Publishing. That sounded good already, GHOST SHIP. The primary objective is climbing the company ladder mining for minerals including Gold, great! I like gold, even if it’s digital as in Minecraft. And like Minecraft it has it’s dangers and hazards but that is where the similarities end.
The setting is an orbital station orbiting a mineral rich world somewhere in the galaxy of some science fiction future. I didn’t get thee original memo as I am coming into the 4th Season rather than the inaugural first season. A fortune is to be made and what is in the way? We got very huge aggressive bugs, a persistent competitor, and various environmental hazards that can put to test any tough miner’s metal. Next to the standard last forever company issue pickaxe the miner is equipped with a bevy of upgradable weapons, armor, support equipment, and an endless supply of power up beer? (…warning, there is animated drinking.) 🍻
“Are we Dwarves or Eves?!” Actually, there are four classes of dwarves; the Gunner, Scout, Engineer and Driller. Apparently all male, “It’s the beard,” Whispered Aragorn to princess Eowyn. The game is much more fun as a team of four though it can be played solo with an accompanying customizable robot named Bosco.
The results so far?
Wrestling with the limited use of my bummed right arm and hand I do okay with the Gunner class protecting the rest of the team. But most of the time it was I that needed rescuing by my boys.
I think my kids want it that way. 😆
