Hi everyone!
I just wanted to introduce myself, but I must admit that this whole process does not come easily to me. I have not blogged before. I have no idea what to say or not say to keep a reader engaged. I don't necessarily have a specialty that would allow me to stand out from the thousands of amazing content creators here.
But... I wanted to try something new, so here I am, if you'll have me!
I came across HIVE some time ago, while playing a blockchain game called Gods Unchained (and I see there is an strong community present here). To be completely honest, at the time I found all of this very overwhelming, so I neglected to properly integrate myself here until now. I still have a lot of reading to do, to familiarise myself with the way things work here, but I hope to become an active participant soon and I'm very excited to meet the wider community!
A brief window into my interests/hobbies/soul:
Video games
I would consider myself a very competitive but relatively casual gamer. Having grown up with various consoles and PCs, gaming comes naturally enough to me, but I doubt I will ever sink the hours or money necessary to be truly elite at any one game. Nevertheless, I am very much looking forward to speaking with all the other gamers out there.
I know I am late to the party, but I recently got into blockchain games and I'm absolutely loving what I see so far. The concept of play-to-earn, or play-and-earn (if you prefer), is an incredible development for gamers all over the world. Being able to own assets that you pay for or earn in-game is something that is long overdue.
I hope to be able to discuss some blockchain games that I have a particular interest in, as there are some truly exciting projects out there.
Boardgames
Honestly, what is better than the combining the fun and excitement of gaming with hanging out with your best friends? I love a good boardgaming session. My current favourites, in no particular order, are Power Grid, Concordia, Brass: Birmingham, Game of Thrones, Race for the Galaxy... I can go on forever. There are way too many good games out there and not enough time to play them all! What a problem to have, eh?
I've also been known to dabble in some DnD!
Hours and hours and hours of quality time!
Sports
Moving on from indoor fun to outdoor fun - I absolutely love playing sports. I can't think of many that I have not enjoyed after trying. Playing competitive sports hits the same as boardgames for me - a great combination of fun and social hangouts with your mates.
In addition to playing football/soccer, I'm an avid watcher of the Premier League. I used to also be highly invested in cricket, F1, basketball, and rugby, among others, but responsibilities have since increased and there are only so many minutes available in the day. One of the downsides of being an adult, I guess.

Thank you if you made it this far 😍
I know I haven't provided an open book into the daily on-goings of my life, but I anticipate that we will get to know each other further over time. In the mean time, I'm really looking forward to immersing myself within this community and losing myself in all the posts! I can't wait to talk to you all!
See you around!!!
