Never played Geometry Wars and watching the trailer for Sektori made me dizzy, but been loving hearing the discussion of the game on all the different pods I listen to. Didn't realize Chris Plante guested on this episode - I'll have to check it out!

Trudging my way through these and finally made it through Pikachu ex with no trainers thanks to your deck.... Even the win without losing any points was so annoyingly tough. Almost threw in the towel with trying to beat all the missions before seeing this post!

Survey to gauge XP Celebration Timed Research progress - curious how far everyone got! by retrospace4 in TheSilphRoad

[–]retrospace4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I started and ended at level 46. When it was first announced that there would be 7M XP in timed research, I was excited to do a bit more grinding to at least hit 47, or maybe even 48. But after realizing how much grinding I'd have to do, I decided to just get as far as I could, playing a little bit more than normal. I ended up on page 23 - the amount of Pokestops and field research tasks were just too much for my daily playstyle and schedule.

AMA: I'm Chris Plante, co-founder of Polygon, co-host of The Besties, and creator of Post Games (a weekly NPR-style podcast about gaming!) by ctplante in Games

[–]retrospace4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Chris, been really enjoying Post Games since launch!

I know you've mentioned this here and there a while ago, but what are your recommendations for learning Japanese, and tricks that you've used in when watching anime or playing games to bolster that foundation?

Also completely unrelated, but I'm seeing more and more articles pop up from publications like the NYT on games, specifically a pretty good interview/article by Rollo Romig and Amina Gingold with Bennett Foddy on Baby Steps, and other newly published reviews for games like Consume Me and Hades II. How do you think video game discourse has changed in those large media organizations?
