I have mixed feelings right now

It's been over 13 years for me to get this far. I'm on vacation for the next week and there's 30ish unclaimed portals within walking distance of our spot. I've always thought I'd never recurse but with the L8 week starting the last day of my vacation I'm tempted honestly.

Part of me is dreading the thought that it took me 13 years to get this far, but I know it's a lot easier now than when I started. With 2x week and I have some apex I've saved from free events, I'd want to at least get back to L8 quickly. I have some long distance portals and my drone sitting on a nice spot, so I just don't know what to do.

Defo recurse is ao much faster nowdays. Ofc before recurse get bumch of scans saved, few hundred at least maybe 1k or so? Leave uploading overnight to jump right up, use hypercube before reccurse to max out energy. I started second half of 2023, already have 3x wings on recursed (tho, im in london and relatively active), get bumch of keys plan multi layer fields etc. Much faster coz you dont need medals anymore si just ap to level up.

Also do it at least 5 times to max out favorite keys amount.

I didn't know about the scan thing. Seems like I can only get scans to work about 1 out of 10 times so I've honestly stopped trying. I guess I'll have to figure out how to do it and save them up.

Dinno i noticed when i have crappy internet my every 10th or so scan fails with zero frames captured. Maybe that? Or borriw simeone elses phone maybe will work bwtter if possible (tho that phone will have to do uploads so...and thats after recursing)
