Gm, over the last few days we've (the boys and I - in discord and x chat) been testing out the new version of $ DERP Mining on the new, rebranded, rebuild, and thoroughly upgraded site derp.works @derp_works (blue check won't let me edit the X account yet), If you want to join in with the bugs, testing, and features and suggestions - please feel free. -- There's a snazzy walkthrough to get you started, some free mining credits and you get to mine some totally worthless fderp (fake derp), Thanks derp DERP, -- Oh, and it's totally gasless now Oh oh, and all of the txn volume and records lane on @ApeChainHUB - with 2000+ ledger writes to ApeChain so far Oh oh oh, and there's now a conductor on ApeChain, and RH, and soon Base, and Eth, and... If you know any project that needs RNG on any chain - holla at ya boy. Oh oh oh oh, and the RNG is now Cheaper, Faster, and More secured - practically VRF grade. Ohhhhhhhh, and every single mining session 'should' (when we go live with real DERP) - be profitable at Merchant prices (still working on some economics but yeah... literally free money). Ohhhhhhh oh, and you can use @minepitderp Boys on any Chain they live on - Ape as MineBoys, RH as PitBoys... and... Oh you can also mine WAYYY MORE boys per Machine, with Pooled CPU mining or GPU accelerated Mining a an iphone can now handle like 700 boys in 1 browser tab.

ApeCo and Yuga said 'Mac you get some packs for MineBoys', I passed the mrs my beer, and Mudwater x Derpworks was born, MudBoys better be ready to Dig! @apecoin @ApeChainHUB @yugalabs @HodlrCollective @NGBxShpend (I don't actually drink beer) - I also got carried away and built some MudWater features and tools that don't officially exist yet 👀

Testing out the Goobaloo in Otherside last night - and testing how fast the Customisability from avatar.readyplayer.app updates to Otherside. I thought it'd be funny for the Goobaloos to have socks instead of shoes - I wrote a short story about a Goblin who lives in a Mine and collects odd socks for my son, so this is a fun callback to that. And also @dongsockswtf is a Gob legend, and 'tHe SoCk StAyS oN'! Odd socks of course for Goobaloos, All ReadyPlayer and Goobaloo avatars have the option to wear different underwear - especially the iconic 'heart boxers' from Dungeon Crawler Carl! And will feature EVEN more customisability! 🫡 more to come from this, checkout the avatars on the website, migrate your NPCs into @readyplayergld and get ready to play! @OthersideMeta @ApeChainHUB @apecoin

We Got Some! I hope you're ready, Mineboys! It's about to get Muddy! @minepitderp @derp_works Shoutout @HodlrCollective and @ApeChainHUB @apecoin @yugalabs

I'm watching Nexus and Chill, and I'm like... "hang on a second, this looks familiar" Landing on the Outpost, Seeing floating islands in the distance, Top down outpost island editor 😱🤯 I was just missing the StarPods @OthersideMeta

Win this MK2 Synth! Wait... there are mk2 synths?! @readyplayergld @covaltus

Brought the Goobaloos to life, I can pretty much Voxelize and Rig anything automatically now - 2222 Goobaloos, built from the artwork, rigged to the MML rig, all traits, procedurally generated - can be baked as a glb or can be entirely code drive in three.js for your own webgames (much better for PWA ios performance) If you're on @ApeChainHUB @apecoin @OthersideMeta or want to be... drop me a dm and we can Voxel-Avatr your entire collection, all traits, with customisability for Varients, Equippables, and Customisation 🫡 The non-voxel version is nearly done - I'll do a run of @readyplayergld later this week/next week.

This is just the Voxel version of the much more complex Avatar Studio I've been working on and off on for literally months. It should be live and testable avatar.readyplayer.app - but you can't use them in @OthersideMeta yet - still fine tuning and tweaking the setup before submitting the Otherside intake forms Everything is procedurally built, rigged, painted, coloured, textured etc. When I drop the big-boy version of this, minds will melt. You will need to have Migrated and Level'd up to Level 1 to be able to use/have avatars for you Ready Players @readyplayergld which you can do at migrate.readyplayer.app

Just gonna leave these little Screenshots here, just incase there's anybody looking at what collections/communities have done - re:Apechain Apecoin Volume @readyplayergld @minepitderp 🤨

Big Goobs, Gpuccias, and everything in between. @TopGobs at The Goblinn

I'll be honest, at the moment my heart isn't in building; I'm struggling to find the passion I've held onto for the past 2 years solid. But, does that mean I don't continue to put in the hours every day, build experiences, improve my tech stack, study everything I can to make my projects the best they can be... Abso-fucking-lutely not. - Coming soon to @readyplayergld are new Avatars ((several version and options with lots of composability) and the legacy ones), New experiences (some of you are already testing it), - make sure you migrate your NPCs migrate.readyplayer.app The long awaited reveal and progression of the Goobs and @TopGobs storyline, + more mining (but maybe in a different way to derp, pickaxes at the ready, eh?) A better improved @derp_works (shoutout to @JustAnOKFarmer for continuing to break derpworks on a daily basis - allowing me to debug/fix/await his next breakage) Finishing up the FirstClassFrenchies artwork for @TheDonDiablo777 @FrenchiesFirst - Even if I am in a slump, even if I am just going through the motions (Buffy quote, iykyk), it's still to a high standard of effort and execution. I'm just, and have always said, not a very good shit-posting-kum-by-ahh guy - if I don't have anything (useful, informative, insightful, funny, et al) to say; then I don't say nothing. - P.s ApeFest looked great, fomo MudWater slaps, ripped 1 pack, held another New ApeScan is 👌🏻 Shoutout @yugalabs @ApeChainHUB @apecoin and the Team doing the Lord's work over there 🫡

One would hope so 🟨⛏️
