RE: Well, I'm Finally Here on Steemit! My Name's Daniel and Here's My Formal Introduction!
Great to see an introduction post from you! learned a lot more about you guys through this. like I did not know you guys made a few online games in the past! That is damn amazing! Ah and I didnt know you struggled with some health problems....I hope all goes well with whatever it is and if you ever feel like resting do not hesitate to just rest so wont go overboard. I am looking forward to seeing you guys branch out here on Steemit you guys have what it takes to get something going here! Keep on steeming!
Yeah, I wanted to let the community here know a little more about who I am, about my media, and what I hope for here. The health issues is a tough one, it often stops me in my tracks. Yesterday my nervous system shut down hard and I couldn't work. Even tonight I'm not feeling all that great. The health issues are something I just try and accept.
As for the online games, we actually didn't develop them, we were rather publishers of them for developers.
Often developers would ask us to publish a new game in hopes of getting more visibility for them. At one point we were getting 500 to 1,000 shares a day on social media from our online games section back in 2014. We got free games, and the developers got free promotions and visibility for their work.
A lot of games like Bro Force and others, often started out as web based beta versions that were created to bring visibility to an underlying project. Then the developers would proceed with later publishing full versions of the games to platforms like Steam.
If you look closely at Gamers Bay's channel, you'll see that there's an entire playlist of online games, and that was the original intended purpose of the channel, to promote the games. Sadly, a lot of the games no longer function due to their outdated nature and the ever changing technologies that drive the web. But we did an excellent job of preserving these games through videos over the years.
Here's the actual playlist, which started back in 2013: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgRUyGl_dui06x2bLzsVbUUInMzMcraxK
Most of them have no commentary. I'm honestly glad we did videos of these games, as so many of them are gone forever! The videos are all that remains for many of them.
Oh damn it got that bad that it had stopped you from doing anything? Oh man..that is terrible! So you have a condition with your nervous system eh?
Oh okay so I was mistaken you guys were the publishers of the online games huh? that is a great way to not only help get new projects more exposure but also it helps you guys possibly build more connections with these developers. I am gonna have to give that playlist a look it is great that you still have the videos of some of the things that are now no longer around.
Yeah, I've been sick as hell lately to be honest. Today was the first day in like 2 weeks I actually felt ok. I do see a neurologist, but everything he's tried doesn't work, and he pretty much broke the bad news last time I was there that my health issues are unlikely to go away.
I just try as much as possible to keep moving and not let it take me down you know.
It all started back in 2013 with constant migraine headaches, then a year later things just got worse. I often have days where its like I'm paralyzed, I cant move much and have this awful fatigue.
There are some things I do to try and keep myself from ending up bed ridden, like working out and trying to eat things that are healthy. I'm writing about this experience now, as I see people complain so much about things, but its like if they only realized their health is what matters most.
Yeah I just read that blog a short while ago that legit got my eyes a bit watery reading it..I did not know you lived through so much and had to deal with the impact of your health suddenly failing like that..Then seeing everything you once had get lost one by one being stuck struggling poor...Is not easy at all...And I especially know what is like to live poor we are in such a situation now.
