GM Frens,
Looks like there might be love back in the markets as Russia seems to take a step back from invading Ukraine. If all these leaders were just Degens, they wouldn’t have time for those kinds of shenanigans.
It’s NFT Games Tuesday here – so the focus today is on games. Of course just click any of the other icons to see the latest and as always, I’ve curated and provided the news that seems important in the NFT and crypto world right at the top. Hope you have a great day!

NFT Ethics Calls Cereal Club a Scam
1/ CerealClub that is minting today is a scam. Associated with Squiggles and having a mint price of 0.5 (via a Dutch auction going to 0.1), which worst case would net the project >$11 million USD. Team is completely anonymous and pic.twitter.com/AHW8mTkmwV

– Beta Game Testing Underway for holders
I played the beta game. It was impressive but still very early and not complex or p2e yet.
Official Link to Play: https://iq.nfheroes.io/
Nifty League Degens – https://niftyleague.com/ p2e games, avatars, comics, $NFTL
Nifty smashers is one of the best and most fun games out there. Even though I get smashed constantly. My poor little Nifty Degen is controlled by a poor gamer. Lol.
https://twitter.com/NiftyLeague/status/1492689181658664962
Avax Wolf Game – https://avaxwolfgame.io/
Great team, easy minting and low gas, and always evolving dynamics. I own five sheep, a wolf, and a couple dozen farmers and a couple dozen cows. Cheese and wheat and land coming. Love it.
https://twitter.com/AvaxWolfGame/status/1491876362780647427
Danger Islands / Lazer Defi – $xBMF token live and can earn by owning Lazer Soda, Bloot, or BlootMF. One of my favorite projects. https://discord.gg/FksWeDWFxe
I think this is going to be amazing. Lazer Defi has delivered above and beyond everything they’ve said so far – I don’t expect that to stop anytime soon.
https://twitter.com/LazerDeFi/status/1492764932483518469
Mighty Manateez – Fun project with comic, video game, $ALGAE token. Saving IRL manatees.
– Game is live at https://mightymanateez.itch.io/cybersea
One Day Bae – https://onedaybae.io/
I know they will deliver. It’s going to be a game like Settlers of Catan but with space and resources. I’m sure it will be fun.
- Alpha test for OG members will be in early March
- Beta version for ticket holders will be in April

Go to website and connect wallet, get to the inventory, check the button you want to reveal, and then you can get your Galz!
2112 – https://www.2112.run/ Floor has been disappointing on this, but I think it’s a long term play.
Minting Live until Feb 21.

Huxley
This might be the first AAA game to come out of the NFT space. Watching closely.
Issue 2 Sold Out. Game trailer to be released any time.
https://twitter.com/huxleysaga/status/1492610356853755908
Metahero/Pixel Vault
$POW currency is launched, planet DAOs are being formed, game is probably a couple of years off. They might end up launching a smasher earlier – but really hard to know.
BYO Game
It’s going to be an amazing game. There’s no doubt in my mind.
https://twitter.com/BYOPills/status/1493059133830012939

NFT & Metaverse Religion & Sprituality
The First NFT/Metaverse Religion- Bald Jesusism Bald Jesus – BJ is Your Bro
https://www.baldjesus.com | Bald Jesus Twitter | Holy Bjble Twitter
https://www.baldjesusdrinkingclub.com – Minting Now!- for Bald Jesus Drinking Club
.05 ETH limited to 777 total
Holy Bjble – AB version – Readable on OS! Only .001 ETH on Polygon so no gas
Cult Dao– https://app.cultdao.io/ | Manifesto
I bought some of this. I staked it. I’m not sure what will happen with it, but I like the ideology which is more like an anarchist cult than a religious cult.
SuperCreators – https://supercreators.io
– This one is weird because it reads like a new age religion but like most new age religions – it looks like a cash grab. I’d love to be wrong about this.
“This is the first Conscious NFT of this calibre. The Super Creators mission is to bring peace, harmony, success and abundance to you and everyone around you. By equipping and holding one of these tokens not only will you be one of the 2222 select few (out of the 3 Million+ Following we have right now) to carry a Super Creator, but you will also have access to all the super powers, training, knowledge and magic that these Super Creators possess. How? Take a look at the roadmap for a brief insight to your potential future.”
That word ‘abundance’. Yeah – fuck this one. This is the kind of cult I don’t want to be a part of.
Useful Info
I periodically move all of this to the NFT 101 page on Vagobond.com https://vagobond.com/nft-101/

Great Projects I’m Not In or Following:
aka projects I missed and am salty about. There are too many – see the whole list at:
https://vagobond.com/nft-101/great-nft-projects-ive-missed/
Missed in February: Generative Dungeons, Heroes,
Tokens & Staking
These are the tokens and crypto/defi projects that NFTs have led me to. Bizarre when you think about it. See the full list at here
These are projects that I wanted to believe in that simply seem like they are dead. I bought into many of these instead of the winning projects above. Take that as a warning. I sincerely hope that they resurrect – but when I put them here, it means that I’ve stopped believing and looking. I hope to someday have a section at the top called ‘Resurrections’ for when projects in the Graveyard manage to rise up again. As time goes on, I have no doubt this will be the biggest section of this newsletter and I will let it keep growing so that those who care to look can understand that the majority of projects fail and investors lose money. Pick wisely, my friends, and good luck!
