So a month in playing Ingress, the augmented reality game by Niantic labs, an internal group within google.
I captured a really hard portal, right in the middle of a large, busy roundabout, hardly available from the roadside drive-by not possible, it was a park up and play with traffic skirmish mission.
That along with 15 other unique portals captured and many many hours searching for power ups with the view to levelling up I’m getting o the point where I realise that all I’m doing is going to interesting places and spending the while time staring into a screen. Much like the somewhat sad wedding / birthday / boat trip pics you see where everyone in the pic is staring blankly into a little battery powered device, absorbing the world around them through a lens other than the ones in their eyes.
Think I’m going to just accept that someone else will take over the roundabout, be that another member of “my” faction or the opposition because, frankly I get far more pleasure from watching my children explore the world around them 1st hand without seeing me with my ho or constantly in my hand.
