A good number of them (maybe all of them?) have iPad/iPhone ports for sure and I’m assuming Android ones too

Just to nitpick but it’s recently just been Smash that haven’t had great patch notes; their Splatoon2 patch notes (and I think Arms?) have been super detailed with lotsa numbers 

The progression of “non-violent exploration game into a coop multiplayer alien shooter “ vaguely reminds me of Overwatch coming out of Titan; IIRC, a lot of what we knew about Titan was about its noncombat stuff and how ambitious all the noncombat stuff was going to be.

Yeah I think you have it right; it’s WAY easier to do it with flights, when every single passenger is literally right there. Would be a lot harder to coordinate with preorders: you now have to call people, deal with them not picking up, maybe leaving messages, coordinating however to compensate them, and then possibly…

Saying “it’s not made for you” is kind of absurd, really.

Has anyone seen a review from someone who thought KH1 and 2 kind of sucked?

As a Sharks fan attending my first away game ever this was absolutely the best hockey game I’ve ever seen in person

Since we didn’t get Chick-Fil-A near me til recently, I’ve always been used to my college’s waffle fries which were super crispy and seasoned like Jack in the Box curly fries, so I’ve always been pretty meh on CFA’s waffle fries. They’re not quite crispy and pretty bland IMO

I haven’t seen ANYTHING at all about DLC, so seems to be safe to get earlier 

As someone who’s never played Mahjong, kinda surprised how much it’s taken off in FFXIV. Loads of people on the subreddit are playing it and talking about it, which is especially surprising when you mention how long games can take

Just from the headline it seemed like an eye-roll worthy name, but the fact that Keene is the town it’s in, and the logo really doesn’t draw any attention to it (the “great” part doesn’t even seem like it’s part of the restaurant name) honestly does make it more OK than something like “Pho King” 

Might be the saltiest I’ve ever heard Jason hahaha. I don’t think all of Kirk’s were thaaaaat easy/safe, but Jason’s were absolutely riskier. Always look forward to these every year though

I mean Gita’s review isn’t the only one that said its story isn’t good

The touch screen is criminally underused on the Switch. I’m not asking for it to be used like in gameplay and stuff, but come on, at least do the menus! 

I think your overall point takes a hit with the “obvious indies” dig. You brought up something like Banner Saga, and to me that’s as much an “obvious indie” as what’s on Jason’s list.

I keep editorial as removed from this process as possible and forward such requests to the business part of our company, which manages Kotaku and our sister sites.

I’ve always enjoyed reading your work over the years (but you’re too hard on mini-maps) and am a regular listener of the podcast. Sad to see you go but good luck on your future endeavors! 

Yeah there’s like Smashburger, Jamba Juice, etc. Guess I haven’t flown out of SFO in a while because it completely surprises me to hear there’s not a lot of fast food places at SFO

I fucking love Popeyes but that was the first thing I thought of. Even though I love the smell of their fried chicken, not really the thing I’d want to spend a couple hours trapped on a plane smelling 

Yeah I definitely enjoyed the original pre-ABz High and Mighty episodes they did even though I never watched the movies they did (love Stanger’s Arnie impression), but the monthly Patreon cost was a bit of a barrier. Really may have to just go for it though
