It’s not exactly the same, but I can vouch for StreetComplete being an incredibly good/similar game. You walk around the real world, and the app points out missing data in OpenStreetMap that you can fill in easily. You get the dopamine of a number going up, help dethrone proprietary map dominamce, and get some good excercise in in the process.
Here’s my opinion on why your wrong. Windows is full of trackers that gather your telemetry (anonymously but if you piss off bill gates he will send you a screenshot of all the porn you watched) which tells Microsoft things like when you take a shit and how many minorities you dislike. Next is performance because Windows runs like hot garbage on low tier computers. Your $400 HP laptop comes with Windows? Well enjoy 20 minutes of loading when you boot that bad boy up and even Microsoft Office will struggle. Settings in Windows are all fucked up because Steve Gates can’t decide on where shit goes so now you have TWO that’s right TWO settings menus, one that’s your classic control panel and the other that’s old people proof even though old people can’t work out how to open the start menu let alone change a setting. Finally there’s the ads which are annoying as shit. You start up your shitbox of a PC which takes twenty minutes and your greeted with "oh you should buy gamepass lmao. That’s why I use Linux. Linux is the best operating system. You download it, install it, mess it up somehow and Install it again. Why I love the fact that only some distros gather telemetry (idk which ones lmao) and the fact that there’s 20 billion different operating systems to choose from built useing Linux with varying degrees of quality. And no matter what you get you’ll still end up using the terminal to fix your shitty drivers. Personally I love Temple OS. Temple OS is written in holy C
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
Y’all should try Ingress. 😅 Doesn’t really have fog of war, but you do get to visit art in search of portals for portal-keys. 😜
It’s the company that made Pokemon Go’s more-serious first app that came out years before P-Go did, as one of the first of its kind, though it only got interest from the more niche communities. I played it until G+ got slaughtered, as it was the main base of communications and Ingress communities.
I haven’t really played it in a while, but last time I did, gameplay still prevented that. You were able to buy way too many of some things you are limited in using anyway, but things that would give you a boost in mass weren’t for sale. Only thing you can buy yourself out of is maybe 1/4th of the reasons to go outside, but you can’t really play without the other 3/4th, and I have never paid, nor been beaten by somebody that did…
Anyway, all that was at least 3 years ago, so I’m not vouching for any possible changes to the contrary right now…
But It would amaze me if they did make it pay to win now, though. Niantic was always very strict in fair gameplay when it came to Ingress…
My entire city is owned by one guy and my math makes it either he’s been hoarding for a decade just to dunk on me or he bought his way through. He would literally, for weeks, undo any progress I made within hours until I just stopped bothering.
I can do that and like I said, I never paid nothing. I didn’t hoard, but as a longtime player you got stronger. So it’s not pay to win, it’s still play to win…
No offense, but your conclussion doesn’t fit your description. You’re angry you can’t win against someone that you say might have been hoarding stuff (or is maybe doing the work for getting it daily as I used to do…) I could literally bring down Level 8’s since I was Level 5, and they stood no chance if I had been scavanging with Ingress all day first and they didn’t, yet catch me after one of those as a second player and you might win easily until I restock… That’s gameplay, not paygame. 😅
And the fact any player on his own can only max build level 5 portals and you need 3 other people at level 8 at least to make a Level 8 portal kinda stops pay to play. On your own you stand no chance against a group… So if your entire city is just 1 guy, the portals can’t be over level 5, if they are he has help.
Either way, when you attack portals, you should go stand on the Resonators, not the center of them, and when placing resonators you need to be as far as your circle allows you to stand from the portal, so they spread further apart and aren’t as easily destroyed by someone bursting in 1 spot.
Your post triggered really bad feelings in me (not your fault) since my last ex got into a really bad episode and just kinda… Forgot about me. That was fun :D
