Indeed. It's a nice idea and has had some interesting impacts on people. But there's just not enough game in that game.

Should have cooked it a bit longer.

I was seriously expecting a penis joke or rape joke in there.

No rape in Rust.

I just remembered I had an article a few days back, that's been lost to cut and pasting, about Pokemon Go losing 15 million daily players in the last month or so. Ouch.

Yeah, seems inevitable. There's only so much to do in the game, and new features aren't being added. Player base down from 45M to 33M. Eh... that's gonna happen, it was a fad/craze, people are going to leave. I'm still playing, but just pokestops + collecting things while walking, no battles. they take too long.

8/28 - I hit level 23 yesterday. Another lucky egg + crappy pokemon to finish it off. 1 egg left.

I'm back to trying to get my 10,000+ steps/day on my FitBit, so I run the game while walking, but that's about it. I did find an interesting way to cheat a little. I have an old phone onto which I loaded the game, and a scanner app, using a different account. It just sits on Wifi, and alerts me if rare Pokemon show up. If they do, I go for a walk and find them. Have found 3 new Pokemon this way in the past day.

10/7 - Hit level 25. Lucky egg + being in Cambridge, MA for a couple of days. Crazy # of poke-everything. Up to 100 unique Pokemon I've found now.

10/17 - Hit level 26. I've got some weird chest/breathing thing going on, and cannot bike for the past few weeks, so I'm walking a LOT (5-10 miles/day). The game is makes the walks more interesting.

Still alive. Two doctors have now inquired as to whether I've been diagnosed with asthma before (No). So whenever my congestion/sinuses/whatever clear up, I have to get a lung function test.

They started a Halloween event last night, with lots of Pokemon, particularly a set of 10 "spooky" ones show up. Lots of Pokemon, and some rare ones. My current goal is to find all the Pokemon, and keep walking more.

10/26 - Hit level 27. That was fast. Level 28 requires 20% more XP. The Halloween game was fun. I'm having surgery in 8 days, so unlikely to hit 28 before that happens.

11/1 - Hit level 28. Even faster? Halloween continued on, and I did a lot of walking and playing the game. Surgery tomorrow, so not going to be doing much.

11/23 - Level 29, even with surgery on the 3rd. They just started a double-XP event, so I may hit 30 next week when i'm in Vegas.

11/29 - Level 30 - Bonus XP event for the past week. But now the game gets stupid. I've got 13 more km to walk for a given pokemon, then I'm down to missing 3. All of whom come from 10km eggs or are super rare to find.

1/20 - Level 31 - Barely playing now. Got all the pokemon, then they released a handful of new ones. Meh
