Hi Chris, great to catch up with you and Splinterlands again. I'm so far behind the times, having not played for about three years now. This new release looks great. I remember when the Beta launch happened, and the live pack opening events that were going on. Those were some fun times.
I really don't have much time to play Splinterlands this time around, but I am back on the social blockchain again, this time with more of a focus on the blogging. I have delegated all of my Splinterlands cards out to someone who is running a bot. If you come up against a player named @hipnose003 at some time, you're likely playing against my cards, many of which you gave to me, haha.
Anyway, great to see you again, and you're doing so well in Splinterlands, I hear. In case you can't remember, I was @TrisquelWhare back in 2018 on Steem. 👋
It is so nice to see you back! I am glad you are doing okay! The last i heard from you was your wife saying you were not playing as you were ill, I am so happy to see you back!
Yes, I was in hospital for a long time, I had a heart attack and a couple of bad seizures (the doctors are still unsure if it was a mild stroke or not). I'm doing much better now, but I've really slowed down a lot.
Chaos pack incoming!
Thanks so much! This will be my first non-Alpha or Beta cards in my whole collection. I've only got the old Alpha and Beta cards so far.
I see that the pack opening method has changed since I last played. Now it looks like I have to drag the pack onto the dais thing. But it says, "You don't have enough potions for all of your cards. Are you sure you want to continue?" I don't even know what these potions are. I'm sure we didn't have those back when I used to play. What happens if I don't have enough potions for my cards? How do I get potions? I don't have any yet. Haha, I must sound like a right n00b again now. I used to be in the top league in this game, lol.
