Did you get to use Street Pass during it's peak?

For me the best StreetPass was one time I was at Universal Studios in Orlando and I was so happy seeing so many states fill up in my US map of StreetPass and some international too. I'm still missing some states and I hope to one day fill up the map. Kinda hard to these days.

The most streetpasses I ever got was at PAX East. Managed to get the ACNL gold medal for streetpasses that way. Ultimately I managed to find every US state except for Montana; I wound up configuring a spare 3DS to get that one.

I spent so much time playing all those silly little games... I've almost forgotten most of them now. Getting 100% on Ultimate Angler was easily the most time-consuming – and of course there's barely any reward for doing so. :P

The local bus station had a streetpass relay ("attwifi") and I would head down there often until it was shut off. These days Pokemon Go fills a similar niche.

Interesting view on pokemon Go, I feel the same way about it. I've been playing it casually since launch and I definitely see it slowly dwindling down in player base.

I got a lot of street passes at PAX South too when they had a "Handheld Gaming" lounge.

I got a ton when I went to Vegas one year. I was actually blown away by how many people were carrying around a 3DS, and I ended up getting over 100 tags. StreetPass was one of my most favorite aspects of road tripping, because you never knew who would pop up. My 3DS has been to nearly every continental state just to collect Miis. They're like my version of state spoons, heh.

I live in a rural area, so street passes were few and far between. I went to a WWE PPV in a neighboring city and brought my 3ds just to get streetpasses. I got one for "Bugs VS Tanks", that's it. No Mii plaza or any other popular game just "BVT".

If you aren't using it yet, set up Pretendo. You can now get StreetPasses over the Internet just by adding somebody's friend code. I also live in a highly rural area, and this is the only way I'll get them these days.

    I guess that's still not the worst.
    For a long time it used to be, that whenever anyone asked me how I'm doing, I could only ever give negative answers.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, btw I made a bluesky account a while ago but i'm not yet used to it bc most of the content I get is not of my interest
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, thats why i'm staying in Twitter
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    I haven't ever used either of them, besides viewing specific content while logged-out.
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    I am not sure what to think of Bluesky. Some people are overly positive about it, some are overly negative. It popped out of nowhere when seemingly everyone who dumped Twitter had already moved to Mastodon or similar federated services.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, not liking/doing what everyone else likes/does sort of makes me feel bad
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    I still don't get what the deal with Bluesky is, I heard it was supposed to be federated and possible to self-host like Mastodon as well, but somehow I haven't seen or heard anyone doing that. Yet people complain about community and moderation issues on the official Bluesky instance. I really don't get what's going on and how it's supposed to work.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, Yeah most of the posts I get are either about polítics or selfies and all that

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, although I just asked on the official subreddit if there is any feed(s) with the content I like
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Myself, I have no interest in using (having an account on) such a social media website. People are often surprised that I don't have any social media and none of the most popular IM services, especially in real life. But I continue to stand against it, even when so many people have complained about it. Even if it makes my life a bit harder.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    I don't bother with social media.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @anotherthing, being online is one of my few ways of entertainment since I will be murdered/kidnapped if I go outside while alone

  • IC_ @ IC_:
    At some point I should probably create my own blog website, so my blogs can reach more people outside of GBAtemp. Long-form blogs are much nicer in my opinion compared to this modern "microblogging".
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, I ran out of ideas for blog entries and thus I just make profile posts
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    I still have lots of ideas, but it unfortunately does take a lot more effort to write a good blog entry with photos than to write a simple post.
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Once I finish this project I've been working on for months, I'll hopefully do a blog entry about it.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, I have been starting making a game, I will record a gameplay of the battle system once it's relatively done

  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Haven't ever heard of it, but it could be interesting. Are you using RPGmaker for it, or something else?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, gdevelop
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Nice, it's open-source.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, I only use "vanilla" gdevelop since I always forget how to code
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also lemme show you a picture of how events work in it
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    I think free and open-source software is a very important benefit to everyone, even if you're not going to study or modify the code.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, or well here is just the event tutorial itself https://wiki.gdevelop.io/gdevelop5/events/#timedelta
