I’m sitting in the hospital room I’ve been in since Tuesday and can’t even begin to explain how bored I am. Let’s chat about anything except politics, I could use some distraction.
I collect hobbies and may even know something about your hobbies. What do you like to do?
Cool. If you would, can you give an example?
Geocaching is one and Ingress another.
I was a hardcore geocacher for about 3 years until I realized I just wasn’t into it anymore. I played Ingress for a few years as well and just kinda burned out.
Ooh I used to love Ingress. Back around 2013–2015 I played a heap of it. Jumped on briefly a few times in the time since. It was a much more well-crafted game than Pokémon Go.
Resistance or Enlightened?
Enlightened. Initially it was just because I looked around my immediate local area and everything was blue, so I figured there’d be more to do with Enlightened. Then I came to realise my city outside my neighbourhood was overwhelmingly green, but we had a really great friendly local Enlightened community. When they moved away from Hangouts and G+ into Telegram I mostly lost touch.
In retrospect, the not-so-subtle political allegory with Enlightened being progressive and Resistance conservative is not lost on me either lol. Not that the meta-plot was especially important anyway.
How about you?
I was also Enlightened. I had a great time, but found myself feeling less and less involved with the community until finally just wasn’t into it. I got to level 15 and then had 0 interest in grinding to 16.
