Hello team @meshtastic I have a question for you. In versions 2.5.X, i could enter waypoints. This is no longer the case in versions 2.6.X ????, which is a real shame. I use #meshtastic for first aid operations (association) and for emcom, #crisis #management and it's for this and other things, this functionality that pushed me to move to meshtastic ... can we expect the return of this functionality in the near future? In advance, thank you and bravo for your work.

Japan Has a New Baseball Game, and It’s a Shame That ‘Professional Baseball Spirits 2024-2025’ Isn’t Available in the States https://www.rawchili.com/mlb/19371/ #Baseball #NipponProfessionalBaseball #NPB #Waypoint

Groundspeak celebrates 25 years of #Geocaching… with their own, edited, commercialised whitewashed history.

https://web.archive.org/web/20040129232636/http://geocaching.gpsgames.org/history/ lists some parts of history they’d like to forget or which they may even censor people for. (At least they got the #GPS Blue Switch Day right.)

Unfortunately, #Navicache and #GPSgames are now defunct and I never managed to find @radioscout ’s GE caches. Even the #Opencaching network, while historically strong, never was able to get into users’ minds especially after Groundspeak made it into a mainstream-ish hobby (to get more money), let alone #Terracaching. They did try again to subsume the much older #Letterboxing but it also persists independently. The #xkcd #GeoHashing activity levels are also rather low these days, unfortunately. See wp.inc (or wp.pm) for quite the list of known #waypoint-like præficēs (contributions welcome) and what became of them… although almost nobody laments the loss of opencaching.com (which was even less open than the CC-BY-NC-SA Opencaching Network). I did have quite some fun with #GeoDashing and #GeoVexilla while it lasted, though never managed #Shutterspot nor even looked at #GeoGolf.

Meanwhile, Groundspeak has not only hidden their brands of #Hitchhikers (#Travelbug and #Geocoin) on the ISS but also a cache, which obviously cannot be true as it’s not even geostationary. At least #GeoKrety got a revival recently.

Groundspeak’s own (or maybe bought then EEE’d?) #Wherigo almost didn’t survive the end of the PocketPC era and, like their lab caches (now styled "adventure labs" in groups, with quite the lack of useful APIs), is dominated by people reverse-engineering them to get their found count into the ten-thousands. Their #Waymarking seems to be forgotten as well but I noticed dozens of new ones around ::1 in a granularity fine enough to compete with virtual munzees, so I guess some people still do use it. Many things are now hidden behind commercial smartphone äpps instead of being hackable (or at least scrapable; I remember getting #Expedia maps with #MOBAC for #CacheWolf; none of the other GPS Stash Hunt software I’ve seen has such a great database of waypoints as CW had…) and always requiring more mobile internet than is sensible (especially #Munzee is).

Have I forgotten anything other than the country-specific sites (like GA) I cannot comment on?

Ah. #BesserCacher ("better cacher"), a list of supposedly good caches. They changed their URL scheme from their own WPs to Groundspeak’s and completely lost entries. I think they’re gone. And #Extremcaching (similar but for really extreme expensive exhausting caches) which probably is still going but not really what I’m looking for in a hobby I use to balance all my computer-using (and the other balance hobby, music, singing and playing some instruments).

Anyway, contributions welcome! (And please boost to larger instances.)

However, the company later revealed that demand is so high, they won’t be able to deliver enough units for launch. Did you think $80 games …

Since there are plenty of games that never see a North American release? I may as well brush up on my Japanese skills so I can experience the latest Yokai Watch. Or, some classic Medabots

@villares I only skimmed a little bit over it, but #waypoint's dev posted a blog post where he describes something like that:

BTW the tool is amazing even w/o the multiuser :)

@jakelazaroff do you accept suggestions for #waypoint here or should I head off to GH issues?

Bad News, There’s Blogs On Waypoint Again

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://aftermath.site/waypoint-vice-remap

I'm just over here remembering an old, dead game that was featured in an article from a website that is now gone.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/3dpd8n/remembering-from-softwares-forgotten-mech-classic-chromehounds

#Chromehounds #Xbox360 #Waypoint #Remap

#Waypoint Staff Launch New Website And Podcast, Called #Remap https://kotaku.com/vice-waypoint-radio-remap-new-site-owners-podcast-1850498480

Super stoked with the #Waypoint -> Remap news being confirmed!

Had been trying not to get too excited over the last few days as bits of it started leaking without any details (people reporting being charged by "Remap" when their subscriptions renewed, finding the Twitter account, etc.) and so it all being confirmed and out in the open feels great. Whoo :apartyblobcat:

(And the stream transition/reveal was fun as well 😀)

The only very small upside of my favourite games / media criticism website / podcast shutting down, because capitalism sucks: Their merch is on sale. 🥲

GYGO: Fuck Capitalism, Go Home

In this week's gaming news: a sad and angry farewell to Waypoint, lawsuits and pay gaps, and, thankfully, Turgle.
