Listen "196 . Inquiring Minds Want to Know"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Jamal and Chris dive into the latest Wayfarer updates and tackle some spicy community topics head-on. They discuss Tintino’s long-awaited post about test Wayspots in France, Italy, and Spain, and the recent Pokémon GO level rebalance that (thankfully) didn’t change Wayfarer access.
The boys also revisit last week’s conversation about the Wayfarer forums — clarifying their stance on why sometimes it’s best for new Explorers to “lurk before you leap.” They call for more tact and positivity from community voices (including Ambassadors), and suggest a new space where players can safely ask the Wayfarer team questions without being dogpiled by forum regulars.
Then it’s on to the big topic of the week: AMA Questions!
Chris and Jamal go through some of the most interesting submissions before voting closes — and offer their own thoughts on what they’d like to see answered.
Plus, don’t miss:
✅ Spatial / Scopely News
✅ The AMA Questions
✅ Wayspots / Coal of the Week
✅ Dad Jokes (naturally)
