Hello everyone,
It is 1.53 am in the morning at my place right now, and to be honest im already very sleepy and tired. I actually planning to go sleep around 1.30 am just now, but somehow im still here sitting in front of my computer.
Well, the reason is HIVE.
I havent write anything here for quite long period of time, maybe almost 2 month already if im not mistaken. So tonight while scrolling around HIVE again, im just checking here and there to see what is the latest thing happening around here.
And somehow I end up back at scrobble.life.
I actually have check this place before, just before I become dormant for almost two month. At that time I didnt really explore it much. From my first glance, I just thought this is something mostly related with music and movie. I remember looking around for awhile and then thats it, I move to something else.
But tonight when I come here again, supprisingly there was quite a lot of things already happening here.
So I think, okay... maybe tonight is my first proper day in Scrobble.
The first thing that make me realize I was wrong about this place is that Scrobble is actually not only about music. There is movie, TV series, anime, books, podcast, audiobook and even manga inside here.
This part actually catch my attention because im always into anime and manga for long time already. I dont really follow every new anime nowadays like before, but it still one of those thing that can easily make me click around when I see something familiar.
It is not only a place where you say, "I watch this movie" or "I listen to this song." It slowly become some kind of personal record of the things you watch, listen or read.
Which actually sound quite interesting when thinking about it.
Imagine few years later and you can see what kind of song you listening at certain period, what anime you watching or what movie you suddenly obsessed with that time.
Maybe also you will question yourself why you listen to that song 50 times. 😂
Then while clicking around, I found another thing which I dont remember seeing much before.
Daily Quests.
At first I was like... wait, there is quest here now?
From what I understand so far, we can complete some activity inside Scrobble like scrobbling something, commenting, making review, reading and also playing the daily games. Doing those activity can build streak and collect points.
I havent really started doing it yet, so I cant explain too much about how the whole system work. This is literally my first night properly looking into it and my brain is already running at maybe 20% battery now.
But this quest thing make me more curious.
Because usually when we talk about watching movie, listening music or reading manga, it is just something we do normally. Here somehow they put a little game element around it.
And speaking about game, apparently there is actually a Games section here too.

This is another part I didnt expect.
There is Hang the DJ, Scroddle, Scroddlemix, Total Scrobble Recall, Hit and Miss and Loopy Memory. Most of it look related with music and guessing stuff.
Total Scrobble Recall sound especially interesting to me because from what I understand it use your own scrobble history and give you a short music clip to guess. The problem is it need 1,000 personal scrobbles to unlock.
Well...
I have some work to do then. 😂
Anyway, I still honestly dont fully understand Scrobble yet.
There is so many button I havent click, some feature I dont know what it actually do, and probably a lot of things that I completely misunderstand right now.
And maybe this is actually the best way to start.
Instead of reading everything first and pretending I already know the platform, I think I will just slowly use it and see what happen. Maybe listen to some music, log some anime or movie that I watch, try those daily game and see how the quest work.
I also want to read some post from other people who already been using Scrobble longer than me because probably that will make me understand it much faster.
But definitely not tonight.
It is already past 2 am while im finishing this post and my original plan was sleeping at 1.30 am. So technically Scrobble already steal around 30 minute of my sleeping time on my first day.
Not a very good beginning. 😂
But at least I found something new to explore again after being away from HIVE for almost two month.Maybe tomorrow when my brain is functioning properly, I will start clicking everything and see where this rabbit hole going.
For now, this is enough for my first day in Scrobble.
Good night everyone.
Or good morning, I guess.
