The only torrent I ever removed my seed cap for was a set of DVD-audio ISOs. I had it downloading for months, but it never got above 5%. Eventually I found the same disc images on another site, so I dropped them in the download folder and rechecked the torrent, which came back 97% complete. The only files missing were box art scans and NFOs. I let that thing seed for about five months.
It's a issue I have with most factory games, or even games like Minecraft. I really enjoy mid-late game. Early game is almost always a slog... an important and fun one the first time, but after the first time...
Yes and no. The “win” condition is building and launching a rocket to space. There’s minimal additional content after that but it doesn’t stop you from playing. You can always just keep building and improving your factory to keep launching rockets faster and faster. The developer is working on an extension where you keep playing on different planets and in space so pretty soon it’ll take even longer to “win”.
It’s doable. It’s just a different game. You get to know usernames who take or join gyms, you can recognise people on the rare occasion you party up for a raid.
A friend of mine GPS spoofs the game and it’s a completely different game though. I’m having to use external tools to remote raid for cool mons as an organised party, but they just tip up to any major city centre raid location and do whatever they need to do whenever they want. That said, gyms turn over within minutes, so getting free coins is a pain in the ass whereas a lot of rural folk repsect the 8hr rule to maximise coins.
If I’m honest, I’m just a guy who let his youngster sign up for an account, so that my boy could play the game while I banged in the buddy miles daily when out running, but I’ve quite enjoyed it too being out in the sticks.
Yeah, it’s probably more British slang more than anything. To “bang in” or “knock in” or “pan in” or “put in” a quantity of anything is generally used to describe a tedious or repetitive task.
One could “knock in a good few hours of revision” or “bang in half hour on the treadmill” or “put in a shitload of effort” or other such terms.
In this case, my lad plays Pokémon Go, but I’ll cover distance goals to accelerate progress a bit.
The PokeStops and events are plentiful and raids are easy to win and great.
But gyms, man. They don’t change because of the smurf accounts. I stopped being able to get free coins because people would walk around my city with corkboards with 6-8 phones, and any time I knocked out a Pokémon at a gym, a new one was immediately in its place.
I played it for a little while, but I’m pretty reclusive so I mostly just caught the few things that showed up in my apartment. After catching a bunch of random birds I finally caught a Rattata and named it “Pikachu” and then quit.
I feel you bro, and the saddest thing is that I don’t even feel comfortable playing it when on vacation because it drains the battery as crazy lol, and I don’t enjoy using powerbanks.
Because it wasn’t a game, it was a gamified data collection app. If someone actually wanted to make a game with this concept, it could turn out well, but that was never Niantic’s intention.
I had a ton of fun playing Ingress in highschool/college – exploring parts of my city I had never been to before, walking around a ton, meeting new people and making friends.
But yeah, it’s a data collection service for Google Maps.
