(At least they got the <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/gps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GPS</span></a> Blue Switch Day right.)</p><p>Unfortunately, <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/navicache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Navicache</span></a> and <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/gpsgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GPSgames</span></a> are now defunct and I never managed to find <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@radioscout" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>radioscout</span></a></span> ’s GE caches. Even the <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/opencaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Opencaching</span></a> 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 <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/terracaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Terracaching</span></a>. They did try again to subsume the much older <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/letterboxing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Letterboxing</span></a> but it also persists independently. The <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/xkcd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xkcd</span></a> <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/geohashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeoHashing</span></a> activity levels are also rather low these days, unfortunately.

I did have quite some fun with <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/geodashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeoDashing</span></a> and <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/geovexilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeoVexilla</span></a> while it lasted, though never managed <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/shutterspot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Shutterspot</span></a> nor even looked at <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/geogolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeoGolf</span></a>.</p><p>Meanwhile, Groundspeak has not only hidden their brands of <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/hitchhikers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hitchhikers</span></a> (<a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/travelbug" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Travelbug</span></a> and <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/geocoin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Geocoin</span></a>) on the ISS but also a cache, which obviously cannot be true as it’s not even geostationary. At least <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/geokrety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeoKrety</span></a> got a revival recently.</p><p>Groundspeak’s own (or maybe bought then EEE’d?) <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/wherigo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wherigo</span></a> 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 <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/waymarking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Waymarking</span></a> seems to be forgotten as well but I noticed dozens of new ones around <code>::1</code> 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 <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/expedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Expedia</span></a> maps with <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/mobac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MOBAC</span></a> for <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/cachewolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CacheWolf</span></a>; 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 <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/munzee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Munzee</span></a> is).</p><p>Have I forgotten anything other than the country-specific sites (like <code>GA</code>) I cannot comment on?</p><p>Ah. <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/bessercacher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BesserCacher</span></a> ("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 <a href="https://toot.mirbsd.org/tags/extremcaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Extremcaching</span></a> (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).</p><p>Anyway, contributions welcome!

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
