It's raining XM in the Multiverse. As I continue my @ingress.com travels, having Recursed for a 12th iteration, I feel an itch to document my exposure to higher doses of XM. Perhaps the Shaper Mind Virus is taking hold but I see a path opening before me. One that leads to true Enlightenment.

Sometimes the Exotic Matter Bear eats you. Overclocking was retired in @ingress.com today, the real deal 3D meatspace and potatoes of Glyph Hacking. While one AR Glyph journey has ended, I look forward to what's next. Until we eat the Bear, I'd like to share my cryptic memory of Overclock. #Ingress

Golden Peanut Acquired! How is the +Gamma Global Op treating everyone? 👀 I'm very happy to have finished gold ahead of packing for the upcoming Charlotte, NC +Gamma XM Anomaly. 🦊🧳🔜™️ @ingress.com Love the emphasis on building Portals, although it feels odd to build low level for max bonus. #Ingress

VAIN obtains the "Golden Peanut" +Gamma: Global Op gold tier in Ingress after deploying all the resonators, linking all the Portals and walking everywhere.

Had a blast 🦊💣💥this past weekend catching up with Agents and ringing in the New Year with x8 AP! Already looking forward to IFS in February returning to Frederick, Maryland. Until then #MeetYouOutThere Agents. 👀

☕🦊🛫 #Timecheck 👀 Currently in flight to HOU for the +Beta @ingress.com Anomaly! Very eager to meet you out there Agents. 🕵️‍♂️ To mark the occasion and study the effects of the +Beta Anomalies I've secured a new XM Field Notes Journal. 🦊📗 Stay Vigilant Agents, the world around you is not as it seems.

VAINs second and more appropriately 🦊colored XM Field Notes, pictured here on an Airplane Tray Table, next to a small coin and napkin. The Journal is bound with a Purple Rubber Band which is securing a Red 🖊️ Pin.

Recurse and begin again. Welp it seems I couldn't wait for 500 Million AP after all. Recursed during October IFS for my tenth iteration! 🦊♻️🎉 Managed to push slightly over Lvl-9 before double AP ended, in total just shy of 6.2M AP gained on Saturday. #Ingress #Recursion

VAIN Recurses at 470,000,000 AP for his tenth Ingress Recursion.

Progress! Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

VAIN deploys portal mods into the VOID, at long last earning Onyx Engineer!

Choices! Shall I Recurse at 470,000,000AP or push to 500,000,000AP for the tenth iteration of this 🦊 Simulacrum?

VAIN weighs his choices, push button 🔘 Soon™️ or push 🫸🦊 for a future Recursion at 500,000,000 AP*.

*HINT: He's likely going to push the button because haha Recursion button go brrrrrrr

Not even a week has passed and I already find myself looking forward to the next @ingress.com XM Anomaly. While we wait, may as well share a few more #ActualIngressGameplayFootage memories from Mission Day in Quebec City. 📸🎒🦊☕🍁

VAIN wishes to drive the Sherman, thankfully the Anomaly was already over.

Changing of the Guard at the Target Portal be like.

I wonder how good the ☕ at Château Frontenac is?

What's in the box 🦊🎁? Agents are cautioned to maintain situational awareness in the presence of Experimental and volatile XM technology. QUEBEC XMA AZ BOLO For Agent VAIN: @ingress.com This 🦊'y Agent is rumored to be carrying some Ingress swag on hand, should Agents manage to catch him. #Ingress

+Delta Quebec XMA Provisional SITRIP_01-250824 🦊🗒️ ✨XM Density✨ remains elevated throughout the Anomalous Zone as Agents continue vying for control of local XM Portals during Mission Day. 👁️ Sightings of the elusive NL-1331Q are flooding in. Agents it's time to move! #MeetYouOutThere @ingress.com

A little Americano after the conclusion of +Delta Quebec, as a treat! ☕🦊

Machina could surely be here, he thought. 🦊💭

VAIN ☕🦊 @vain-vurxof.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

🦊♻️ Recurse and begin again! On June 22nd I celebrated completion of my 8th #Ingress Recursion, clocking in at a flat 420,000,000 AP to ding L16. To date this was my fastest Recursion on foot outside of a double AP event, 62 Days from L1. As a treat I camped at 69 AP on Recursion 9 for the night. 👀

VAIN dings L16 in Ingress at exactly 420,000,000 AP. The lad then Recurses and camps at L1 with 69 AP for that NICE 420,000,069 AP screenshot.

A tiny peek behind the curtain. At the Nashville, TN Erased Memories #Ingress Anomaly I did a hotel Ruck dump for "reasons". 👀👀👀 As you can see I only pack the essentials. Working on adding more first-aid supplies to level up my med kit beyond boo boo bag status. Living my best #GORUCK EDC life.

A [REDACTED] exploded view of Ingress Agent VAINs every day carry Rucksack. The contents of his Ruck are laid bare on a neatly made Hotel Double Bed. Among the items are various Anime Boobie Patches, Hydration Supplements, Keys, Lockpicks, External Batteries and Chargers, A Bop-It! Button Gold Chain, Bop-It! Mini, Water Purification Tablets, Journal, Pens, Floss, Gloves, Buc-ee's Jalapeno Peanut Brittle, Duct Tape, Sillcock Key, Challenge Coins, A Furry Beer Koozie that reads "Road Chill", Napkins and Moist Towelettes from Hooters, Bottle Opener, Hand Lotion, Big Red Gum, Passport, Wallet, Wind Breaker, Hydration Bladder, Comb, Microfiber cloth, Spare Hydration Bladder Mouth Pieces, Nuun Tablets, Rubber Chicken, Headlamp, Loose Change and Nashville Erased Memories Anomaly Biocards. Not to mention several items are [REDACTED] for uh "reasons".

Obviously as you can tell from this chaotic assortment of supplies, this Ingress Fox Creature only packs the bare essentials when playing Ingress.

Why stop at earning a badge only once? Finally dinged Onyx Mind Controller so decided to celebrate with a few extra screenshots. #Ingress

Agent VAIN, a player of the massive multiplayer augmented reality game Ingress, earns the Onyx Minder Controller medal after 12 years!

VAIN earns the Onyx Mind Controller badge but where are the control fields? SECRETS!

Agent VAIN earns the Onyx Minder Controller badge but the scanner only displays Machina aligned portals. WHERE ARE THE FIELDS? Third faction confirmed?

The numbers! What do they mean?! #Ingress Just barely on track for one of my fastest recursion yet but I haven't quite decided on when I'll push the button for my seventh spin.

VAIN ☕🦊 @vain-vurxof.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

+2 AP, it might not look like much but recharge battles can get intense rather quickly. #Ingress

While we're still getting introduced to one another. I present the two sides of VAIN! Maybe it's in his Coffee? Maybe it's just his chaos goblin tendencies. Foxes gonna fox but also Bop-It, Baking and Ingress. Art and pfps by @tacorat.com

Certain places in games just have that mysterious aura about them. Pure vibes. Never stop exploring. The joy comes in the pursuit.
