☃️ Snowy places around the World
I love cold places and snow... and having moved to the South of the Globe, I can still have access to them, but when doing so, the percentage of access (land-wise) has reduced quite a lot.
In fact, a fun fact is that the Northern Hemisphere has two times much land area as the Southern Hemisphere, and during this season, around +40% of the Northern Hemisphere is covered with some sort of snow. Literally almost as much as the size of the land as the Southern Hemisphere.
The majority of time of my life, the brain said... "If it's Christmas, it will be cold!"
But then, it became, "If it's Christmas, it's time to go to the beach, enjoy the water and the sun!" - nothing wrong with that. But the season spirit AND the temperature still don't align after all these years.
The closest I get to snow is some dried-out algae that you can ALSO, slide on! 🤣
Anyhow, not complaining, just a retrospective of sorts. It has its advantages, like having access to Kina, for example (even if now they are already beginning to spawn).
The weather has been sort of nice lately, even if not too warm for everyone's standards. But enough for not driving me crazy with nowhere to go quickly outside.

Although this morning was running... (photos are from two different days, but today was literaly like the right one).
🧐 What you got for 🎄Christmas? 😏
I got the best thing I can wish in life... health, family (here on Hive too) and a place I can call home! 😍
2025 was a year full of so much stuff... GOSH 🤯
I even hung on the wall a board of my previous Supercomputer Interconnect (Aries) at my office!
(companies that don't even exist anymore, lol)
Let me know what you got for Christmas and what you wish for yourself in 2026! If comments under this post are not your thing, happy also for you to snap it and either tag me or let me know about it under the comments below.
Natural 💪 engagement is all I am looking for 😉
By the way, if you are looking to beta test a version of the Snapie app on a web interface with some additional features (still being worked out, so please provide feedback on any important stuff and be patient, please, we ARE ALL on break days 😋).
GO!
(come back, read the rest of the post heheheh)
🤗 Something worth recalling 😍
Something I really valued and enjoyed seeing by the end of 2025. We needed something like this (in my view). I don't want to talk necessarily about the "costing of it" (even if I understand it has costs), but instead about the "they took the initiative", and in my own opinion, we need more internal marketing like this that eventually results in the external marketing for almost free (at least if it depends on me, it will always be free for Hive people I can curate).
I am speaking about the #HiveCreatorsAwards and its winners voted by the Hive community. An absolutely amazing masterpiece work done. I love the website, I love the kinetic energy of adapting it to web2 too, making it easy to share, love the way to verify everything, love the way to expose "WHO DID it"... Loved it! MORE please!
And there are sooo many reasons for me to call this "Amazing"... starting with the fact (to my knowledge) no ONE has ever done it, this way... impact on both web2 and web3, as it should be. It's perfect... as we need the big idiots of the money that can give up money to develop humanity's new technology that is not just a waste for MONEY MAKERS!
BOOK MARK 👉 https://hivecreators.co
I did my part... but I would encourage more to recall this moment next year! This is the kind of thing that the more you care, the more it goes out there. Your constructive feedback is what makes the outcome go wild (just in case you are wondering, NO, no one asks me to do these... and (they can but) I don't need them to! That's the best part of it)
If you still don't know what I am talking about (all good, and happy to get questions from this on this post), maybe check this link here on X where I am using it to promote the initiative, the outcomes, the winners and all the nominees! Explore...

And thank you all for participating in what matters, for all those voting broadcasts that prove so many things... "Curation, Voting, Verification, Opinion, Openness" 💪😎

🎲🎮🕹️ GAMES Games GAAAMMMESS!!
A disgrace... 🤦♂️ lack of time and dedication, I must admit, but not because something changed and/or made me hate the "scenery". But because of just me, getting old! 🤤
Either way, I have been around now and then... but I am mostly enjoying times with kids and playing other "non-Hive" based games during this break.
Although I have something to say... There was a game that marked me a lot in 2025. Not because of its reasons to exist or objectives to accomplish necessarily. But because of the feelings it created and the people's actions impact it had (or still has, as this season hasn't finished yet).
Not everyone likes these types of games, so I am probably a minority here. Either way, I'm super glad I played it and will continue to play it while I feel I have a mission to play there! No names needed... clicking on the image will take it to it! 😏
(you can play it with a Hive account or just email)
🍺 BEER time
