Hello Agents!

I’m thrilled to share some exciting Ingress and podcast news!

In November, I’ll be speaking with @brianrose.bsky.social all about @ingress.com as we get in to the Year 13 celebrations of the game.

After having a very short nap, Machina has been reported as returning by Agents.

I’ve blown some up today but remember it may be worth blocking some in and keeping it around for Second Sunday on 9th November!

Mapping the future of cities starts here. 🌍

SF Mayor Daniel Lurie visited the Niantic Spatial office, then joined CEO John Hanke for a walk through Fisherman’s Wharf to see how geospatial AI and Niantic VPS help robots & AR glasses understand the real world.

So that’s the same amount of episodes as Mew’s Pokédex number!

(Available in Resistance colours)

Ingress Insights @ingressinsights.bsky.social · 3d

Though the most recent episode is 116, there’s actually 151 episodes of the podcast available!

This includes Inverse Insights about games like Witcher: Monster Slayer & @nianticspatial.bsky.social’s Peridot as well as some festive specials and bonuses!

I know that a podcast about a more niche game like Ingress is never gonna hit number one in the podcast charts but I’ve seen it in the low hundreds before (I think 112?) in the Video Games category which isn’t too bad?

Anyways, rambling done, new regular episode out tomorrow at 7:30am UK time!

Ingress Insights @ingressinsights.bsky.social · 3d

So again, thanks for any and all support on the podcast, whether you listen, share or do the Patreon, or look at the TeePublic store, it all helps out.

Word of mouth to other Agents is an excellent free way that increases listeners, and thus where the podcast algorithm puts the show.

Ingress Insights @ingressinsights.bsky.social · 3d

I have to say, I was really conflicted about whether to even do a Patreon for the podcast. It seems most podcasts have one right away, episode 1.

I don’t think episode 1 is worth $1, so wouldn’t feel good asking for it from the get go, but approaching 2 years doing it feels okay to me now.

Ingress Insights @ingressinsights.bsky.social · 3d

Our first Patreon exclusive podcast has now been added.

You can listen to details about all the crossover events we have had in @ingress.com and whether I think they have been any good.

You can join the Patreon for $1 or $5 and it all helps support the podcast!

I think everything was copied over from the Wayfarer pages and someone did Find+Replace but have missed a few

Ingress Insights @ingressinsights.bsky.social · 4d

Wayfarer said “across Niantic Games” and eventually changed to “Wayfarer and Pokémon GO” long before the split so was never possible in Ingress.

Ingress Insights @ingressinsights.bsky.social · 4d

@ingress.com This page for Recon mentions “Controlling your experience on *Wayfarer*” so needs amending at some point but will it actually be possible.

Hope to see more designs from the merch page come to Amazon UK. My Echo shirt is well worn, but the Year 10 designs are still holding on strong.

Ingress Insights @ingressinsights.bsky.social · 7d

Don’t worry. Another few restarts resolved it @ingress.com

Ingress Insights @ingressinsights.bsky.social · 7d

@ingress.com I’m having issues claiming this. I already did, then noticed the second part wasn’t counting my Links so restarted and now it won’t proceed. Can you manually push it?

Ingress Insights @ingressinsights.bsky.social · 10d

Hey Agents, I didn’t share my list of topics for this week as it’s been a bit hasty applying for jobs, managing family life stuff and finding a bit of time to relax.

Still, episode 115 will be up tomorrow at 7:30am UK time. I’m looking forward to chatting about the Sp1d3r Web campaign next week too

Ingress Insights @ingressinsights.bsky.social · 12d

I’ve also discussed whether @ingress.com is good or bad for your mental health as you walk a lot and get out but then there’s also potential abuse in Comms and other issues in/out of the game.

As it’s a new design, it’s on sale for the first few days too.

The whole store is on sale for a few days as part of TeePublic’s Halloween sale so you can check out the rest here and get the cheapest price in a while!

Did you know, one of the ways you can support the podcast (and me!), is by buying some merch?

It’s over at TeePublic, and I just added the Halloween version of the logo as an option.

I’m not sure it looks as good as it can on a shirt but think the mug is great!

In some other games that do this, you can “gift” the access to the tasks to other players.

I know it won’t be possible this time, but could that be looked in to for the future? People have sent me gifts in this way and I can then pay it forward to someone else.
