[Liquid Drum & Bass] Nicky Havey - Overload | "Forking" Memes & Puns

avatar
(Edited)


Interesting last 24 hours in Steem World. Oh I found it hilarious with the amount of memes and gifs flying around the place with all the fork related puns. I was in heaven. There was so much going in the Steem Telegram, all kinds of drama, knee jerk reactions and the sheer panic about what was going on, but most importantly, puns:

Or should that be:

Some cool heads to deal with the same questions over and over again... I know exactly what it's like working in customer service in my job and could feel the twitchiness and the "stressed Eric" nerves being tested:

As things were going a little bit pear shaped with some down time as a bug was found, the Power House Creatives Discord was on FIRE, never seen it so alive before and what particularly tickled me was when @jaynie made the comment about seeing all kinds of characters come out of the woodwork... cue this meme:

This is fine 27082019174611.jpg

So I decided to flex my meme muscles even more and, being a little bit inspired by @theycallmedan's meme contest, I offloaded a couple more - if this hard fork could be depicted like one of those people handing out fliers in the street, this is how it would look:

Or maybe boxing is more your thing:

Either way, vicious rumours were spreading that I'd been tickling whales which caused the bug in the code, I can assure you that this is #forknews but my favourite (and simultaneously, LEAST favourite) moment was finding out that Partiko was affected by the hard fork and isn't working properly, which I hope gets fixed soon but yea... Hardiko

Overload

OK, now I have that out my system, I wanted to share this track with you called Overload which I figured would be appropriate given the situation yesterday when things literally got overloaded on the chain. It's a liquid Drum & Bass track which we can hopefully all party to now that the forkery is out the way!

Alternative playback link is here and if you really like it, you can get it from my website here

Enjoy!

Looks like this hard fork was not nearly as dramatic as the last one. But, the anticipation definitely took its toll!

I don't think you should count on Partiko being updated. last thing I heard was that their developer was MIA...

Where and when did you hear that? It doesn't make sense that the app is still running mostly OK other than notifications on comments and mentions at the moment as I'm still able to do everything else 🤔

I don't remember where I heard, to be honest, but I do remember that it was a couple of weeks ago already...

You might be right though, I'm hearing more people who are saying the same thing about it and it doesn't sound good about the app 😔

Haha thanks @wwwiebe! Think we needed to lighten up a bit with some humour after the hysteria and all the naysayers that still use this platform!

Rock on, the fork has come and gone. I haven't had any problems with the fork, my posts are earning better than ever it seems. I was expecting the opposite. Curious scenario.

I think you mean the forkS! There were two of them weren't there? Haha, just to make sure old steem was well and truly hard forked out of existence! I'm still hit or miss at the moment, I'm thinking to trim down on posting but going to give it another few days and see how we get on.

Also, I decided to buy up on steem with these irresistible low prices and I'll have some news later on. I've noticed my curation rewards are going through the roof too! See! I told you good stuff was happening 😀
