<br>I am a long time Guild Wars player. I played both the initial game and Guild Wars 2, although I have became inactive a while before the latest GW2 expansion was released. It had nevertheless a huge impact in my gaming experience and I still use my main character from the first game as my Avatar in gaming communities. The nickname I use now also comes from this time. GW encouraged players to name their characters using 2 names. I had fun coming up with original names for some of my characters and that is how Funecio Agrante came to be.

Currently I play Hades' Star, which is a free mobile first game that plays much better on PC. It is quite unique in gameplay, requiring strategy *and* developing a particular sense of timing that I haven't found anywhere else. I remember one time I stopped playing for a few months and when I came back I couldn't time my moves as well as before. I could feel my brain slowly adjusting and getting instinctively better at it. This was a very interesting feeling, as if my brain had to further develop an area or create new connections to handle the input and make decisions properly.

A few years ago I stumbled upon an upcoming TCG that promised to bring crypto gaming to a quality standard similar to mainstream games. Although it didn't have a product ready yet, it was backed by Coinbase which gave me enough confidence to invest early. The game is Gods Unchained and it was my ongoing involvement with the game's community that introduced me to PeakD in the first place, in particular via @kstreet, @meltysquid and @feanorgu.

</div><br>I love plants. I am mostly a succulent collector, in particular Haworthia. They are considered the jewels of the succulent world, for their small size and intricate details. The ease of obtaining morphological variations by selective breeding lead me to also produce my own seeds. I then germinate them and grow the seedlings until they can develop their full potential. It can be surprisingly addictive at times, but also an excellent escape!
