Thank you for writing and sharing this piece

Great writing, riveted throughout. Appreciate your perspective and reflection. Thank you for the myriad of good points you brought up. Thank you to Kotaku for posting it. Be well, happy gaming, and thank you. 

Heather, did you play Neo Cab and if so, how would you say these compare especially in the balance of fare management vs character stories vs mystery solving? 

I totally hear you re: Apple Arcade! For Apple Arcade, consider trying:

NOOOOOOoooOooOOo I’m so sad!!! Well I’m happy for Gita for her next steps and I hope she’s v v v hyped for next part of journey, but selfishly incredibly sad. Gita, you have been my favorite writer on Kotaku ever. You’ve represented a range of gamers’ interests that I don’t think get a lot of attention or respect, and…

This piece helped me convince my family to buy #3 tonight and they had a lot of doubt ... but then we spent 2 glorious lovely fun hours with this game. great reflections on the big why and the admiration of the craft Zack! Would love a longer piece on the company and their processes 

Downloaded game pass, trying outer worlds so far! I was really enjoying it and then hit hour 10 and was like am I still having fun? I think groundbreaker has too much stuff going on right off the bat. We shall see 

Thanks for your dope reporting and unapologetic focus on promoting womxn in games, covering big messy issues in the context of entertainment, and the humor you include with your detailed writing. Hope to read more from you soon, somewhere

Been working my way through Apple Arcade games — just finished tangle tower and sayonara wild hearts, going to try outlanders next! 

I laughed out loud I love this 

Savage and amazing 

So much of this resonates! From knowing this exact strip and having been there myself to MMORP relationships to the digital expression as teenagers to thinking about GameStop recently (went in one yesterday for first time in a long while). Thanks for the sharing and great writing

Alrighty 2 years have passed since the last update — can we get a new hot tip on iPhone games from Kotaku? there’s so much out on the App Store but I feel like so much of it looks bad... need guidance on what’s worth the money! What about a different list for iPad v phone? Even though iOS is the same, I feel like the…

I’m so glad you wrote about this! I had this game 10+ years ago but never finished it. Seeing your article made me remember it — I quickly stopped reading for spoilers. I dug through my old game box and found it and binged it this past week! So glad to have done so, and the dessert is reading your analysis here and…

Thank you so much for doing this research and to Kotaku for sharing it! I played these games growing up with my mom and my sister all together. It is one of my fondest memories. Even when we went to college, we’d still come home on breaks and play, all hunched over together and yelling about puzzles and making bets on…

it's a good look ⭐️ for tim 

Loved this. Thanks for your humility and grace and reflection. The piece moved so well throughout your experience, and your humor and observerations made it a great read, even without the deep introspection. Cool to see a male sports writer talk about emotional vulnerability so open. Ppreciate ya.
