Bummed, I just noticed the Space Invaders: World Defense app doesn't really work anymore-- it doesn't connect to the servers or high scores, it errors out when you try and play outside.
Space Invaders: World Defense came out in 2023 and was really cool, it had an AR aspect, you could go outside and see the ships coming down in the real world. I messed around with it some back then and took some photos, but I can't find them. Should've messed around with it more then. I guess they shut it down a while ago, I can't find any info on when. It's also not in the Play store anymore.
You'd think a company like Taito could keep servers running for more than just a couple years 🙄 but I guess not. Reminds me of when I was super bummed when the Puzzle Fighter app was shut down many years ago - that one was fun as hell too.
Well, RIP Space Invaders: World Defense. Here's the intro screen and a screenshot of what you can still do in the app now- it's super limited. I was able to fly around and blast things but no scores were recorded and everything else errored out when trying to contact the servers.

Just tried a free (for now?) Apple Vision Pro AR fantasy combat game that has a surprising amount of depth: ARealm. (Find an empty-ish room: you’re fighting things on all sides with both hands. Some of them are quite large, and there are many of them.)
I like the idea of passive object “controllers”—so for a more realistic feel, try holding something small and heavy in your sword hand, like a roll of quarters or a spice container. #VisionPro #AppleVisionPro #ARGaming

Looks like the AR puzzle game Blackbox for Apple Vision Pro in on sale for Valentine’s Day. Reviews are good and I’m having fun so far! I’m stumped on a couple but I will get there… #VisionPro #AppleVisionPro #AR #Games #ARGaming

Put Space Invaders: World Defense on my phone. Now, to figure out a time I can try it outside and maybe not roast alive

CW: Some thoughts on Trainer Tips Nick's Pokémon GO-focused interview with Niantic Community Manager Mx. Kelsey Danger
The following is a long-form response to a video on the Trainer Tips YouTube channel between Pokémon GO player/content creator Nick and Mx. Kelsey Danger, community manager for Niantic:
It's interesting to me how the pre-COVID Pokémon GO is described as "legacy" gameplay, whereas what I consider "legacy" PoGO changed quite some time before that already.
The core gameplay difference to me between true legacy and pre-COVID gameplay / current gameplay, is the near-constant stream of events that fuels Fear Of Missing Out and personally burns me out on the game.
When I started playing PoGO I felt like I could play whenever I wanted, without the fear of missing out on some shiny, costume or legacy move Pokémon. I could skip a day if I not felt like it, without ruining my streak, missing a spotlight hour, a raid hour, or one of the constant weekend events, some timed research, or a collection challenge. Spawns, in my memory at least, also felt better/more logically distributed. For example, if I wanted Magikarp, I'd go to the piers. Now it just feels like whichever set of Pokémon of the week are spawning everywhere regardless of location. Sure, my city for some reason had overabundance of Voltorbs and Magnemites, and my sister-in-law's was Drowzee-land, but apart from that it felt a lot more like a world where exploration actually paid off; especially before the footprints radar got replaced by the Nearby and Pokéstop spawn lists.
I think Niantic is actually trying to cater too much to a too wide variety of players. Kelsey said something like "we cannot be everything to everyone but we can still make an excellent product", and I feel like that Niantic is in fact trying to be everything to everyone, and as a result is hurting their game.
Last Community Day was another example in a way of this. On the one hand Niantic seemed to want to focus on making people move, with the walking distance timed research and the incense nerf combined with incense duration extension, but on the other hand the spawn clusters and Lure bonuses made me want to just stay in place to catch and shiny-check as many as I could to benefit from the bonuses and to 'catch them all' rather than explore.And yes, I know that as a player I don't need to do everything, but knowing that and what FOMO is, and not actually feeling the effects of it, are two different things. I think that if Niantic wants to show that they care about the player-base's well-being by focusing on the exploration and exercise part, they should also put more focus on the mental well-being of their players, and make the effort to stop pushing the FOMO-aspect of the game, even when that is at odds with their financial focus.

It's been a while since I walked this long, but I sort of set myself the insane challenge of basically doing the entire #ComicSansLinkChallenge event in one go.
I started about 19:30 and finished around 03:45, and walked a total of more than 30 kilometres to throw more than 401 links between #Ingress portals.I made it, but my feet and the rest of me is completely knackered... Now to get some sleep before it's time to get up to watch over #BeardGrabber...

CW: Pokémon GO raid results
I did just two #PokémonRaids today.
The result? 2 #ShinyPokémon 🙀
Happily surprised, even though their IVs are rather crap.Didn't have a shiny #Terrakion nor shiny #Cobalion yet, so they are more than welcome in my #Pokédex!

Very informative #Niantic!

Based on the "Go Beyond 40 Levels" header image, I'm guessing they are finally going to increase the level cap from 40 in #PokémonGO.

CW: Pokémon GO
These kinds of #PerfectIV #LuckyTrades make the tedious #trading process in #PokémonGO worth it :)
(Would've been nice to have had this during #CommunityDay though... but I'll save it in case we can evolve it into #Charizard with the #legacyMove during the end-of-the-year-event again like last year. :)

I also enjoyed playing a bit more of #PokémonGO than usual, and managed to spot 2 #Gyarados in the wild and plenty of #Magikarp thanks to the #LunarNewYear event. :) None of them shiny unfortunately. :( The hunt for my first one continues I guess.
Also spotted a #photobombing #Smeargle while doing the #dailyPhoto of my #Raikou buddy. :)

I believe I had about a million #StarDust at the start of the #PokémonGO #CommunityDay (/weekend) #event...
After all the trading, evolving, powering up and especially giving extra moves to a bunch of #LegacyMoveset #Pokémon such as this #Dragonite, I have about 184k Stardust left... yikes!
Better start doing more raids and saving up for next year!https://mastodon.social/media/iv5Kj3lOdU-0EWjBdMk

A tad disappointing catches this #PokémonGO #CommunityDay. Just a single #shiny #Trapinch (which I fully evolved into a #Flygon), and most of the #Pokémon were also low IV compared to previous event days.
Probably to do with the tweaked spawn #algorithms…Oh well, at least it was good to be outside for some #DailyExercise, even though it's definitely starting to turn towards #winter weather!

Okay, I promise I won't complain anymore about whatever I hatch for the remainder of this #PokémonGO event 😮

A #perfectIV (100%) #shiny #Kangaskhan #Pokémon hatched from a 7km egg during the second(?) day of the Global Bonuses event in #PokemonGO!

With all the #MythicalQuests / #SpecialQuests, friends bonuses, #ResearchTask #dailies, gym battles, raids and so many more unique #Pokémon to catch, leveling up as a new player sure is a lot simpler and quicker than when I started playing #PokemonGO...

Yeah, this was a good #PokémonGO #CommunityDay for shiny and high IV/CP catches!
Especially happy with the lucky 100%, high IV #Mudkip I got from a trade with @Siiw. Immediately fully evolved that one to a #Swampert and gave it a second charge move!
Also, this was a nice 4 hours of walking as my #dailyExercise :D

#PokémonGO #CommunityDay starts here in about half an hour, so time for some quick and early dinner, as prepared by my dearest @Siiw.
Gotta have some fuel to be out walking for 3 hours straight. :)
I hope I made enough space in my #Pokémon storage container...

my first response to that #PokémonGO news: FUCKING FINALLY!
My second thought: couldn't they also have added a percentage/tier indicator on the list overview, so I don't even need to appraise my Pokémon to see if it's crap? Would definitely help with #CommunityDay events. -
#Niantic rolling out faster appraisal system in #PokémonGO update:
«Trainers, two feature revamps are coming to Pokémon GO! We are rolling out an updated appraisal system to give you more detailed information on your Pokémon's stats, and will soon be updating the Charged Attack mechanic in Trainer Battles. Watch for a preview!»

and of course, my walk ended up quite a bit longer as intended, as I enjoyed the fresh air.
The ground and grass were rather wet, and thus so did my shoes/feet because I decided to wear the wrong kind of shoes after rain... nevertheless, I enjoyed my #dailyExercise.Got some more unique hacks for the #Ingress Myriad event, did my #PokémonGO #dailies, and encountered some high level things in #WizardsUnite.
-
I enjoyed a nice long late evening #walk as part of my #dailyExercise, while playing a mix of #Ingress, #PokémonGO and #HarryPotter #WizardsUnite. I mostly played the latter, as I'm not yet max level in that.
I ended up spending too much time outside perhaps, so it will probably be a bit tough to wake up in time, especially as I don't quite feel sleepy yet.
Definitely could use some more #exercise, or push myself more, but something is better than nothing.

I wish #PokémonGO would check if new #i18n strings are available yet in the loaded version of the app, before showing them in a new research task. ><
Any #PokemonGO players left on the Fediverse I haven't friended yet? Feel free to PM me your friend code. :)
