Bit of a different post today, I'm back from Permissionless last week and needed to get these ideas about social out of my head and into written form.
I've been tinkering around in Farcaster the last few months, and I've found some key learnings to surface for y'all. Let's dive into the takeaways from my personal experiments for social media success on Farcaster.
Involve other people in your ideas
Don't be afraid to use multiple platforms
Have a hype squad at hand to boost content to new people
Know and jive with the vibe
Just hit send
No, seriously. If you're going solo, you're doing it wrong. Get other folks tangled in your web of brilliance early on.
More, Better, and Iterated Ideas: Incorporating others in your project means a shitload of fresh and dope ideas. You get different inputs and perspectives, ramping quality up to another level.
Ownership Feeling: When people get involved early, they feel like it's their baby too. It's like a community garden of creativity where everyone plants their seeds of genius.
Context Absorption: Sharing early drafts means folks can absorb the context better. It's like giving their brains a git diff to more easily track the progression and appreciate the final product even more.
1. FC buildooooooors:
The meme that hit Farcaster wasn’t a one-man show. It was a collab 🤝 with @cojo.eth, @cameron, @jamesyoung, and @jrf. Everyone chipped in on what was missing and how it could be spruced up. And the kicker? Each person only saw a section view to keep the final reveal a sweet surprise for them.
I monetized the meme with a Zora mint. But it wasn't strictly about monetization; Warpcast shows trending mints and even pushes notifications to members. On Farcaster minting is marketing in addition to the same methods from Xer. Dropped it in the comments.
https://zora.co/collect/base:0xe800e79a903b2bebb95e273ac98ff4fba32ced94Just remember: don’t get greedy. Don't mint anything with individuals' faces or other possible doxxing info without explicit permission from everyone.
2. Farcaster Meetup at Permissionless:
@matthew from Eventcaster and I went old school with Telegram and direct casts – no platform, no problem. Used Citycaster to find the Farcaster Austin group and juiced the event. Some peeps showed up, others spread the word. Best bit? Leveraging those multiple communities and bringing them all together.
Got some friends from Bankless DAO to show up and bring even more people. The trick? Keep that hype energy throbbing. Polls, memes, gifs - whatever gets the people going!
And constant communication -- @sean and @pol noticed that I'd borked the timezones. Our event Telegram group enabled me to repair the error and communicate it on the morning of the event.
Here's the final result of the meetup:
Farcaster meetup at Permissionless is legit Great 🌮 great vibes @banklesshq and Bankless DAO making a strong showing https://i.imgur.com/k341bgf.jpg
3. Tagging BG3 Enthusiasts:
Got crafty with this one. Searched for folks chatting about BG3 using Searchcaster, tagged 'em to get them to notice and jumpstart the conversation. Go on, check it out.
Your circle on Farcaster might be lit, but take the convo off-platform. Trust me on this, telegram groups are like steroids for communication in small groups. Shit's powerful!
Got a big thing coming? Get your off-platform gang to shout it from the rooftops. A simple "Yo, fam, signal boost?" does wonders. Don't believe me? See for yourself right here.
Here’s the golden rule: You wanna fit in? Then blend in! No plugging of your product; do share accomplishments and milestones but no direct ads unless it's in alignment. Honestly showing up as your whole self is the name of the game.
Overthinking is for rookies. Done with your masterpiece? Feeling the jitters? Tell those jitters to piss off and just hit that send button. Frequent casters get frequent engagement.
To sum it all up: Dive in, mix things up, and remember – the Farcaster realm is your playground. Just keep it real, keep it fun, and keep learning!
If you haven't read it yet, check out the excellent post for getting started on Farcaster from @cameron. It'll change your FC experience, go read it. Right now.

Fun fact I launched divide.cash after a 2 week build in January. I didn’t know anyone on Farcaster so I shared it in a channel and @ispeaknerd.eth and @swabbie.eth just jumped in and settled a $100+ bill. That fafo early adopter energy on Farcaster is priceless and what kept me around this year.
I built it to for me and 2 friends to get some momentum. Funny thing is even though we ideated divide together on our outings we never used it once. Keeping track of balanced between friends as grown adults just isn’t a real problem. Divide got a 1000 sign ups or so but no sustained usage. That said…
It gave me momentum and confidence and a couple weeks later frames launched. I started messing with frames for fun and to growth hack a bit. I made an “instant sign in” frame that dwr casted across farcaster and twitter. People started following me after that. Investors reached out with interest shortly after.
[I was surprised VCs wanted to talk given no usage with divide and how short the build out was. I realize now it was more of a vibe check and to start an ongoing relationship, like dating sorta. But the fact that it originated from a tweet just by putting my work out there was eye opening.]
Divide’s go to market was too hard and I didn’t even use it myself. What was obvious though was that frames were cool and that more people than just devs will want to make them. So I created a prototype for a no code frame tool called /glass and sold ~20 presales. That was the 1st time I sold software as an indy.

then what happened? did they reach out for a project in particular or just to get to know you?
I got interrupted and will finish the thread when I get a sec lol
what happened next 😀
Same energy kept me here. Permission building with easy gtm is like catnip
*permissionless, must have autocorrected
How'd you know the name of my first blog article about Farcaster? 😂 https://paragraph.xyz/@ispeaknerd.eth/fk-around-and-find-out
Perfect.
Loved reading this, I was so hyped when you launched divide.cash been gassed on your ever since
appreciate you man, sad to miss your sf meetup
Any plans to add EURC?
@alexpopovic has been on /farcaster for longer than I have, while he is a casual user of the platform I find it incredibly frustrating to see his posts and replies constantly unseen or ignored. He does not have time to grind away at this as I have been dedicating, and yet all of his posts and comments are quality I understand the argument that this platform rewards quality content and maybe you just arent as interesting as you think, not a direct quote-- but something I have been hearing from PBers-- how do we make sure that casual users can enjoy this space as well? Alex---- @jacque, @awedjob, and I wrote this for the hackathon, this and a lot of the other articles in this channel are great at sussing out how to break out of botville. There needs to be a net to catch real human casters and help them gamify and play the game @dwr.eth has created @evanmann https://paragraph.xyz/@jacque/screaming-into-the-void-how-to-get-seen-and-thrive-on-warpcast?referrer=0x20Da700EA03E9fe8bf3409d6F66105184AEfB2FC

I love your articles!
💖💖 thank you! what's valueful about this one for you?
Your points are quickly in and out! Not filled with ramblings (looking at myself here) of side quests. Plus the ps and pps makes me smile, love it!😊
thanks for the feedback! Glad you like it 😁 2000 $DEGEN

Screaming into the void is the exact vibe 😂
Collected this post to support the message and am engaging now to amplify your reach. Thanks for working to make the app better!
Did y'all know I have a newsletter? Sitting down to write an outline, challenging myself to have a new post out by Wednesday https://paragraph.xyz/@ispeaknerd.eth/fk-around-and-find-out
Welcome gamers 👏 Thought we should have an introductions thread with all the new folks joining the channel What's your name, what games (or game mechanics/genres) do you like, and a little bit extra about yourself (are you building something? love to hear about it!) Vulnerability is cherished here 🥰
I go by Nerd I play western RPGs, platformers, and turn based tactics. Some favs include BG3, XCOM EW/2, HZD, Darkest Dungeon, Spelunky 2, Outer Wilds, & digital /tabletop games. Building @collabland and running a couple channels. I write words too! https://paragraph.xyz/@ispeaknerd.eth/fk-around-and-find-out
Hey there. What are some of your fave digital /tabletop games?
Hey Trish! Spirit Island is my #1 Istanbul, Terraformng Mars, and Scythe are all good TTR is good gateway game for folks new to /tabletop Here's all the ones I own
hey i'm charlie! i'm cofounder of gamer.xyz, we're building a new protocol for gamifying and monetizing communities—think friend.tech but for gaming communities. i'm also just starting to work on /arcade, which will be the best place for gaming frames. i'll be announcing more there soon. always happy to connect :)
hi charlie 👋 check out /onframe-gaming @m-j-r.eth is good people how do you see creating small closed communities being beneficial for gaming?
Darko here. Mainly into Palworld and The Ascent right now. Was on a Diablo kick until I finished last season. I have a series X but hardly touch it since getting a Steam Deck when it first came out. And now Warpcast is stealing time from that.
a deck you say? im a big fan https://warpcast.com/ispeaknerd.eth/0x97f1a9
Love playing with my deck. Might even send a deck pic of mine someday if you’re lucky
got that BDE Big Deck Energy
gm nerd, building onchain autonomous worlds at /crypterra Enjoying web2/traditional games for fun and web3 gaming for financial stimulus
Appreciate the honesty. Money is what brought me here 3 years ago too. Much more fun stuff to do than grind tokens nowadays 😁
100% agree!
Just gonna casually name all the console I've owned and played in real time, not as retro gaming :) Atari 2600, Nes, Game Boy, Master System, Megadrive, Super Nintendo, Mega-CD, NeoGeo CD, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, PS3, PS4, Switch. Fav game: Super Mario World.
What a gamerrrrrrrr What do you think has changed the most about how games and made and played as tech has progressed?
to be honest, not much re: game mechanics😆 I would say the things that has changed the most is, Gaming has become self aware. It used to be smthg for kids, minor. It's now the n1 entertainment industry in the world, and the naive & crazy spirit is gone. Still live in the indie scene maybe...
Crazy still here. Naivety is gone tho. Just a longtime casual enjoyoooooor myself
Finally kicked my KittensGame addiction a year ago, Pikman all day, too many Hammerwatch hours, and really just love sitting down to collect some gems. I built one of the first blockchain games in 2014. Now the tech has caught up and we get to build something way cooler than we ever could
Hi I’m Donald I like FPS and MMORPG My gaming highlights are from the inception of Xbox and Live. I was a Microsoft MVP, beta tester, E3 host, and spent too many hours playing Halo. My company @tuum is looking to build something for this channel 🫡
yoooooooo DB! was great meeting you at Permissionless last year, how're things? love to test 🙋♂️ any games you got I have a product idea for /tabletop
Thank you for your service ser 🫡
hard work but someone’s got to do it
Peace & Blessings! Sean aka Mr. Wildenfree here. I just finally upgraded to a PS5 today, been PlayStation (& slight Nintendo) my whole life. Mostly an RPG & Fighting fan, big on Final Fantasy, God of War, Kingdom Hearts and Tekken series. Just picked up Tekken 8 & also grabbed Hogwarts cause I heard good things.
Welcome Sean! Glad you made it to the farside I was original PS, played a lot of rayman, Spyro, and crash bandicoot. Switched to og xbox for Halo, now PC and steam deck exclusive 😁 What a storied history, growing with the same series across consoles, that's awesome Hope we get to see some FC tourneys going too!
Gratitudes Nerd! Yeah Crash Bandicoot & Spyro were legit 😄 loved those too. Played a bit of Rayman as welll. I hear a lot about PC gaming… I’m just not quite there yet lol that’s a whole different level of investment 😂
we'll get you there eventually! /pcgaming is calling! 😆 Spyro was my fav series growing up, spent a lot of time getting lost and unlost on those maps. turns out it helps me navigate no matter where i go irl!
appreciate genuine conversation 500 $degen
Sup everyone. I’m a simple man… I play anything multiplayer, but mainly MMORPGs and shooters. I have the most time spent in WoW, my favorite achievement is a title from being Rank 1 on the 10v10 ladder aka Hero of the Horde! One thing I’m working on is making gaming content as my clone, and expanding /hodlhq
Hola Folks Had an Atari console and went from there. Work with a few gaming projects in web3. Building bridges with UE5, Unity and other web2 folks to embrace the builders in web3. Play lots of switch games w our kid. Speak w different leaders in the space on @aburra . Feel free to send me a DC
Hi gamers. My name is Frodo. I don’t game as much as I used to, but I’m currently playing through elden ring. I like RPGs/action adventure types. Skyrim, BOTW, TLOU are some of my favs. Ex-biotech founder now working on a murder mystery NFT project launching in march.
Nice! you and @danilpan can talk Fromsoft, BG3 has a special place in my heart awesome, murder mystery game sounds fun as hell!
hi there frodo!! looks like we have a lot of games in common!:)
have you played BG3? Considering ripping that next but seems like a huge commitment lol
yes i have!! its probably the 2nd favorite game of all time. i hiiiiighly recommend it! it is a bit of a time commitment. took me 120 hrs
d0wnlore here! I mostly play RPGs with good world-building, characters, dialogue and sidequests. Disco Elysium and Persona 5 hit all of these for me recently. The Outer Worlds and Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t. I built an immersive sim – Deus Ex, Dishonored, etc. – prototype many years ago. I want to revisit that soon.
good to see you in the wild again ser! 🤝 agreed Outer Worlds was cookie cutter and bland, haven't played CP77 myself Outer 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘴 tho....... that shits 🅢🅞 good. and if you like RPGs you need to play BG3. @danilpan and i will talk your ear off would love to check your game out!
The running joke is that The Outer World's marketing machine also helped The Outer Wilds 😂 Yeah I gotta try it out sometime! I'll save BG3 when I feel I can sink 100+ hours into a game again (delayed playing Persona 5 for so long because of this). Loved the first two games.
gonna be more than that for your first playthru if your're anything like me... think my first playthru was 150 hours all up 😂😂
Good to meet ya Downlore! Damn im the only Outer Worlds enjoyer here?! 🥲 Im a huuge obsidian fan, so it felt like home after yearning for a Fallout New Vegas sequel or spin off haha. Wasn’t the best game I played but I loved it! Nerd is correct, BG3 is a MUST PLAY. and we’ll be talking lots about it 😂
Also i could not get into Cyberpunk. I tried hard but just didnt hit as hard as Witcher 3! Still commend CD Projekt Red for doing something completely different tho
what’s good, nerd? my name is quez, i love FPS games, single player RPGs, racing, and sports games. my favorite game of all time is a CLASSIC called Jet Set Radio Future. i’m a gung-ho type of engineer when i build stuff. i also train people online. nice to meet you!
gm quez! Great to meet you too! Single player RPGs you say? Have you tried that most delicious of treats, the Gospel of Larian? 🤣🤣 I vaguely remember the name JSRF but haven't played, it looks awesome from the screenshots online!
BG3 is 100000% on my play list. the wide range of possible outcomes in the game is so cool. as for JSRF, its modern day spiritual successor is called Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. the same guy that composed the original Jet Set Radio soundtrack was brought on for this game. it’s super fun and available on all platforms
1 s/s of advanced funkstyle. SOLD! 😂😂
frota, playing mostly jRPGs, visual novels, strategy games, match3/tetris clones with occult / horror vibes. Gamer for almost 30 years, in love with SteamDeck ans Shin Megami Tensei series. I keep making Spotify playlists with game music. Very lucky to have a job related to gaming in some way. Happy to be here!
Hey frota, Are you playing XCOM by any chance?
nope :(
Boomer gamer, played OG Doom with W.A.S.P.'s "I wanna be somebody" blasting in the background 😎 Picked up a Steam Deck about a year ago, and been playing more games in the last year than in previous 10. Mostly FPSs, action adventure, side scrollers. I wrote a text RPG running on GPT, developing it as a non-dev.
I 💜 my deck too! I finally got retro set up on it and realized how badly outclassed i am by @kenny in /mario-kart that's super cool harri! have you thought about taking your game onframe? /onframe-gaming
Still learning about the ecosystem, will check it out!
Hello, I’m Ry! I’m the co-host of a gaming stream called The Game Cellar. We’ve been around for the last 2.5 years creating content around promising web3 gaming studios (Parallel, The Watch, Treeverse, Forgotten Runiverse, and more…). We have shows M-F every week at cellar_gg on YT, Twitch, and on X.
Usually a strategy or simulator type gamer here AKA indies Fun fact: can read up to 800+ words per minute
oh damn, so you had a great time with Disco Elysium? just too much sitting and reading for me tbh. really wanted to like it
Oh I think I didn’t love that one too much Its charm wore off eventually, but the voice acting was pretty good
VA is 𝕗𝕒𝕟𝕥𝕒𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕔 you mean 😂 what are you playing currently?
Hi - I'm Lindsey! I work for pinata.cloud doing Community and Marketing. I really love playing World of Warcraft (currently main Mage, but might switch to a melee class in War Within) and Final Fantasy games (FFVII, FFX, FFXIV, FFXVI) 🩷 Nice to meet everyone.
welcome welcome! glad you found us I just used pinata for the first time last week, great product! 👏 never been an mmo fan, but mainly that was bc of the req sub 🤣 I see FFVII, did you play Legend of Dragoon by chance?
No, I haven't played Legend of Dragoon quite yet! I didn't have any Playstation consoles until somewhat recently (I grew up with Sega and Nintendo), so I'm kind of playing catch-up. 😅 I'm glad Pinata has been working out for you! So happy to hear it.
Gotta go fast The 90s sonic cartoons were the best LoD was the only game I kept replaying as a kid beat it probably 4 or 5 times
hii 👋 I'm a re-born gamer 😅 played 15ys ago but stopped, past 2ys came back and I love it. The huge step gaming took, design, community, complexity of games...wow. def reco the feeling of taking a 10y break in a tech and be completely mindblown. Zelda, Assassins C., HP Legacy, etc
welcome back friend! Yeah, gaming + speedrunning blew up via streaming/youtube it's massive still a big fan of smol idie titles for that labor-of-love feeling. only AAA game I've seen that has that same level of obsessive care and love is bg3. @danilpan and i will talk about it a lot in here 😂 sorry

👋 name is Bill. I ran professional esports events for a decade mainly in Dota 2 and Overwatch. Diablo 2, Path of exile and Dota 2 are some of my fave games along with some others. Feel free to AMA on the esports industry and my thoughts on blockchain gaming
hi bill 👋 not super familiar with esports myself, but sync nature of esports doesn't lend itself to async nature of the internet imo
What’s interesting is that gaming on YouTube is more async and does fairly well. However, in esports the live nature gives poor replay value for sponsors and TOs generally after the initial broadcast. General content creators get much more eyes on them and were seen as better value for a long time.
yup. long-tail searches for "GAME XX" much more than "GAME EVENT YY"
Very cool. Do you see any current blockchain games that has potential to host a large esports event? I've seen Axie Infinity do some stuff overseas.
Right now it’s still pretty early as a lot of games are still building. For esports, you need a grassroots scene, a sticky player base and be able to stand the test of time. Forcing an esport won’t really work. Regions I’d look out for are SEA and South America in terms of adoption and growing scenes. Titles TBD
I'm most familiar with Trackmania but def agree need sticky player base and tons of UGC
I was just looking for this channel! I’m Benje. Love co-op games and legacy games (particularly Betrayal Legacy). But my real passion is DMing D&D. Latest campaign takes place in a 1980s magical Texas. Think Friday Night Lights meets Twin Peaks meets D&D. Roll initiative 🐉⚔️🛡️!
that sounds incredible! I've run 2 campaigns and a number of one-shots myself. currently playing something out of Wildemount, super exciting! have you explored other systems?
Played a bit of Powered by the Apocalypse (Masks) and a percentile system (Unknown Armies)! While I liked those games, nothing beats drawing a battle map and then running a high stakes 5e combat! What about you?
I’m Marc, I’m a game designer and I’ve been making games for 16 years. Previously Star Wars Eclipse at Quantic Dream. Prior to that I shipped Far Cry 6 and Rainbow 6: Extraction at Ubisoft Now working on Web3 at Animoca, helping our portfolio shine through quality tokenomics / and sound game design
Nice welcome Marc! Don't think I've played any of those myself. There's at least 2 people in this thread who are super into sound design @frota and i don't remember the other
Thanks for the warm welcome. I meant sound in the “solid” sense of the word.. but greatly appreciate anyone who is into sound design. That stuff is haaaard
I don't understand what you mean then 😆
Hi friends, I’m Danil. I’m a huge enjoyer of games across lots of genres, RPGs, FPS, Survival/Crafting, and so on. Favorites include Souls trilogy, Baldurs Gate 3, Elden Ring, Fallout, and many many more. A lil about me: I’m an artist, collector, and poet! Also a blockchain/NFT enthusiast.
hi Danil! 👋 d you play minecraft? we have a gc and @franco runs our minecraft server. need to get /frames involved somehow.... Another poor gamer forever lost in the cult of Fromsoft 😂😂 have you shared any of your art on farcaster yet?
Hey nerd! <3 I used to play it a ton! haven’t in a long while tho! Hahah yessss longtime cult member of Fromsoft🙏😂 I have shared my art yes!! and plan to share lots more😁
Love the idea! Thanks! Francesco, into strategy games, FPS, TCGs and RPGs. Currently building a mobile hub for gamers to track their in-game stats from across all platforms and compete with friends. Currently waiting for the App Store’s approval to go live. Keen to share more with anyone interested! ❤️
Oh hell yeah please share when there's ways for us to interact with it! Have you thought about integrating with FC and using frames to drive engagement for your app? I could see lbs as /frames Wonder if you could get more qualitative preference by having polls frames for specific games/topics Best xx genre games
I didn’t think about it, tbh. Pretty new to Farecaster so I’m still in discovery mode atm. To interact with Leet9 at the moment I would suggest our X and Discord. Once live on App Store I’d love to get your feedback on the app as well!
You're gonna have a hard time pulling anyone off here back onto Xitter 😆
Btw I would really use a quick intro to /frames . What do you recommend?
My name is Timothy, I like a lot of games with a heavy focus on open world games like the fallout games, elder scrolls, and recently I got into enshrouded because of my friend. I'm not currently building anything but would love to work on building my photography.
Hey Timothy welcome to the Farside! 🫂 I played Morrowind and Oblivion so damn much, Skyrim came too late for me to put the same level of time into it, but so much fun! Have you seen /photography and all it's subgenres yet?
Yeah it's hard to put in the times these days into certain games as they take up so much time. I'll have to check those out as I get a chance. I have a big portfolio of mostly nature photos I've taken over the years. I tend to follow groups and communities revolving around photography as they tend to be inspiring.
Hell yeah, can't wait to see your stuff! 444 $degen
Hey, Sumiez here! I play a little bit of everything but big on indie and competitive games. Some favorites include Hollow Knight, Hades, Enter the Gungeon, Witcher 3, RDR2, Starcraft 2, Warcraft 3, and Apex. I founded a game dev studio that is building a Nouns rogue-lite game that is early in dev!
Hades, Witcher 3, game dev? insta-follow great to meet you Sumiez, let us know when there's a wishlist or demo for us to check out please!
Will do! We'll have both ready around end of March to April! Excited to be part of this community early ♥️
Hi everyone, I'm Michal, a music producer and composer for media. I am just getting into games and game dev really. I'm especially interested in audio implementation in games. Also, I'm about to buy a gaming/game dev PC soon (I've been completely Mac-based until now), so any PC spec recommendations are welcome.
Welcome! pcpartpicker.com is your best friend for builds. But it really starts with graphics card and works backwards from there for gaming Are you intending to play 4k 120fps, 1440p at 60 fps, or are you fine with 1080p at 30fps?
Wow, very cool website, thanks a lot! Honestly, I hadn't thought about it yet, but after some quick research, I'd say 1440p.
NVIDIA 3070 and above would work for you, I have a 3070, more budget than 3080/40 series but good for 1440 im not familiar with AMD cards unfortunately but that should be a good starting point for you
audio implementation? Great - one of the topics I'm very intrigued by as even simple games can have stunning music or very interesting and immersive audio. Are you looking into new games only or uncovering the past?
I'd say, at this point rather uncovering the past. Any specific titles you'd recommend checking out in terms of music and audio quality?
old JRPG music is gold for atmospheric/emotional, i've only played Legend of Dragoon but imagine FF series has lots of good stuff too Secret of Mana, Xenoblade, Chrono Trigger, that gen
jRPGs, fighters from the 90s, adventure games (Myst!). I have a couple of Spotify playlists I can post here but SP's music is not top notch when it comes to quality.
What’s up! My name is Ben. I’m a new PC gamer. Some of my favorites are BG3, and Far Cry 5. I enjoy Survival, Story Based FPS, and RPG games. Trying to get into city builders and simulation games but haven’t quite found ones I love yet. Would love some recommendations for older games I missed.
yoooooooooooooo BG3 FAM my kind of people! @danilpan get in here Cities: Skylines is Sim City with modern QoL UX, def recommend. I get lost for hours easy in there how old are you asking for? like what gen and system?
Probably 5 years or so. I have a PC with and RTX 3080 FE so I can handle pretty much anything on steam or EGS. My BIL recommended the Metro series recently.
heya ben welcome! We have a bg3 chat if you’re interested:)
Iam Lars,and have been gaming since Xcom Gollop days. I usually play all types of Genres from Turn based, Fps, 3rd person, openworld.

YOOOOOOO XCOM BUDDY LETS GOOOOOOOO thats so awesome that you're able to share your passion with your kids like that! are they trashing advent and vipers already? 🤣
Lol I wish😆we play Fortnite toghter as a team(my oldest son and daughter and we use the youngest to draw fire🤭
I'm Bug, my favourite games are Street Fighter 4 and Sonic 2. I like playing loads of different things and have spent the last couple of years trying to dive into as many indie things as I can. I don't cast much, but I've enjoyed being able to do so in this channel so pls take my allowance: 326 $degen
Thanks bug 🐛 glad you're here! What indie games have caught your attention?
The most recent non-Palworld one I played was a lovely little game called Lil Guardsman -https://store.steampowered.com/app/1924360/Lil_Guardsman/ The one I'm most looking forward to is Baby Steps, being co-created by the Getting Over It/QWOP legend Bennett Foddy -https://store.steampowered.com/app/1281040/Baby_Steps/
idk where from bug I've heard of Lil Guardsman before, i think it was in my suggested steam queue recently actually. not been a fan of point n click usually. how much do you have to enjoy that style to like this game?
Hey everyone! I go by Artemis. Grew up on board games, strategy, puzzle and MMORPGs. One of my favs growing up was Risk lol now adays I mainly play PC and have been exploring the Web3 Gaming space. Really excited to see how Illuvium does in '24
Hey Artemis! I'm also excited for Illuvium. I think graphics look amazing compared to other blockchain games.
My people!!! Play any other web3 games?
Haven’t had time lately. Played some Axie Infinity back in the day but might try Shrapnel cause I love FPS. You?
Right now I play strategy games like WARNO and Steel Division 2 trying to sharpen my tactical skills. I bought the PS5 for the kids (and myself 😉) it opens up a whole universe of gaming genres to explore. What's your current favorite on the PS5 or do you play only computer games?
tactical skills? 👀 do you play XCOM by any chance? I have PC and steam deck, can't wait for Horizon FW to come to PC March 21!
I mostly play strategy games related to WW2 or modern warfare. Haven't played XCOM yet. I play strategy games on PC, and everything else on console. Horizon does look good.
bruh you gotta try XCOM 2 at least. it's so good, only games i have more hours in are BG3 and HZD https://store.steampowered.com/app/268500/XCOM_2
I’m Rose! I mostly play single player stuff, because gaming is my sacred time, but there are a few multiplayers I participate in! Zelda, Overwatch, Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, Neir Automata, Persona 5, Ghost of Tsushima… I tend to like stuff with a strong storytelling element to it that I can get immersed in.
You like stories? Have you heard the Gospel of our good lord Sven Vincke yet?🤣 Baldur's Gate 3 is amazing and we could talk for days lol Player-driven story in the most niche and obsessively detailed writing in a game I've ever seen it's SO good 🎲👄🎲 @danilpan is currently doing a hard mode run rn too!
always down to talk baldurs gate!! (or any games tbh, i love gaming) And yesss im on act 3 on honor mode!! it’s SO SCARY.
Honestly I keep going back and forth about this one. 😂 I’ve heard nothing but good things, but it also seems like it’d be so overwhelming. I got two COMPLETELY different descriptions on how it plays and one has me wanting to play and the other gives me anxiety to think about. 😂 How would you describe it?
Hi Rose! How do you like Neir Automata and Persona 5? Thinking about playing those two.
Omg PLEASE. Please, please, PLEASE play Neir Automata. That game is EASILY top 5 for me. And you HAVE TO play it more than once. Once you think you’ve beaten it… you haven’t. That’s all I can say without it spoiling you. Someone told me that when I was done the first time and at first I thought they were…
…crazy, until I realized they weren’t. There’s a reason it won so many awards, and when I first finished I didn’t get why… until I played it again… It’s amazing. 😭🔥
Web3 games certainly the way to go. Compared to last cycle, we see a huge boom in AAA games moving into Web3. I’m a content creator on YouTube and I love farming SIMs and MOBA games like Dota/Mobile Legends. Not a builder, but here to explore the innovations.

Love it a Hayden just was welcomed. Fire in the Whole, as Marine engineer scream before an explosion was launched.

When and if Hayden and his team says either “look what I’ve done” or “wouldn’t it be cool if we did this as a frame using Base. It is so easy” I would imagine

Its good to see all those familiar faces. ❤️ bDAO OGs strooong 😉
Being old I related to CT as a state in the USA not crypto twitter. In fact I think it should be labeled CX and forgotten. Great to watch the migration to Farcaster of my Chippi family and frens. Welcome one and all.
Who has the most up-to-date Farcaster 101? @cameron? @adrienne?
Feel like @jess just did a real nice job > https://warpcast.com/jess/0x210b5267
clicking links and pushing buttons ty!
I call it synthesizing disparate ideas or fireflies. Either way the effort is appreciated.
🙏
Not sure what's most up-to-date, but for learning about the culture here overall, I have yet to see anyone top @cameron. This is FC canon for good reason. https://www.wysr.xyz/p/fast-rope-into-farcaster
Means a lot coming from you 😮💨🫡
1.) Start here of course -> https://docs.farcaster.xyz/ 2.) @cameron fast rope essay still the GOAT as a new user guide https://www.wysr.xyz/p/fast-rope-into-farcaster 3.) /gmfarcaster podcast is a good place to jump in anytime to get latest news or subscribe for weekly recaps https://paragraph.xyz/@gmfarcaster
🫡🫡
I just started working on it after people started asking me. Will share this week
Thanks! I’ll hit the follow button right away so I don’t miss it.
More vibey less instructional but I wrote one last year also https://paragraph.xyz/@ispeaknerd.eth/fk-around-and-find-out
Ha this is what I literally just cast asking for a 101. Please send it my way, I want to get up to speed ASAP. Smol brien will use it
Thanks a lot Dan. Need to get up to speed and spend significant time here. Not trying to be left behind. Also, been trying to reconnect my wallet, I sign successfully on metamask, but it’s not reflecting here. Anything I’m not doing right?
Mobile or warpcast.com
Mobile
Fixed it via desktop. Good to be back
I think it's very important to make Farcaster welcoming to non-technical folks. The founder and builder community here is without a doubt the strongest signal. However - I've noticed that the more technical convos become, the harder it is for artists and creatives to wrap their head around and chime in.
And for those who are non-technical - it’s worth continuing to TRY to be technical. It’ll drastically improve your experience.
pls ser this is a wendy’s
Yeah I know but let me tell you about EIP 4337
true BUT we've hit an inflection point. i fundamentally beleive frames is the unlock for the creative culture to thrive + flourish on FC. i've always heard that coding is a form of speech + expression; building frames and witnessing the development of all types of frames was the first time i felt it in my bones.
Agree I’ve tried to onboard a number of smart friends but they feel out of place when they don’t care about crypto tech/philosophy That said, this is definitely the element of farcaster that’s been most precious and useful to me as a builder Hopefully continued channelization can get us best of both worlds!
I think it's begun. Last year, conversations on FC were purely tech and crypto. Now I see so much fun and culture compared to last year. Think its a gradual process but its shaping out quite well.
we were just talking similarly over in /july https://warpcast.com/ispeaknerd.eth/0x11764032 hard for artists/creatives to get attention when they just starting out too, i wrote an article on getting started on FC https://paragraph.xyz/@ispeaknerd.eth/fk-around-and-find-out
What’s the best way to build your audience here?
cast a lot. cast into channels. see what content gets likes and engagement. cast more of that. repeat. i wrote something about it https://paragraph.xyz/@ispeaknerd.eth/fk-around-and-find-out @cameron's article is REALLY REALLY good too https://www.wysr.xyz/p/fast-rope-into-farcaster
Thanks for the shout my guy 🫡
