I made an investment in my @dlive account!

Hey Steemit, second post in one day which always makes me happy. I’m home after an afternoon of editing and hanging with my son, Hive account@guthrie. He’s finally asleep and I’m able to relax while watching UFC 224. Tomorrow is going to start early and be busy, so I’m glad I found time to unwind.

Speaking of unwinding, I wanted to share with a recent STEEM rewards backed investment. Investing in what, you may ask? My Hive account@dlive account, of course! I’m going to give a brief backstory. I am a reformed gamer, and it’s been well over a decade since I’ve really committed to a game. iOS games would occupy my time here and there, but I’ve totally missed the Skyrims, Farcry’s, Assasin’s Creed’s.

For some reason, I’ve been called to God of War 4 like sea weary sailors to the sirens. I don’t have cable […and haven’t for all of my thirties], but ads found their way to my social media pages. Even my friends’ endorsements have been further peer pressuring to bite on this game. I own an old, beat up PS3, so if it were to happen, I’d have to buy an new PS4.

One thing I’ve learned in my two years of cryptocurrency, when it’s up, it’s usually a good time to buy something you’ve needed or wanted but never bought yourself. I’ve been watching Hive account@dlive streams from Hive account@acidyo, Hive account@iamredbar, Hive account@exyle and a few others, thinking how fun it would be to do my own streams of console games. After vacillating […and a few more days of advertising bombardment] I finally did it.

I’m now the proud owner of a 1TB PS4 Pro. A pretty sweet bonus what a Target promotion that offered a 4K/HDR ready game for free with purchase, which in our case was God of War 4. I also picked up a copy of Overwatch for Hive account@guthrie. I can’t wait to set up OBS and this beast to start streaming. Thank you, Steemit!
