This was such a good listen!

2023-01-02 17:23:49 +0000 UTCWouldn’t Various Daylife be up for dumbest name 2019?
Mathew Angelly
2022-12-28 16:41:25 +0000 UTCYeah, I noticed this as well. I think it might’ve just been an honest mistake, but it did make me realize how spoiled I’ve been with this Patreon exclusive feed. Lol
2022-12-20 15:42:59 +0000 UTChas the policy on ad free episodes changed for $5 tier? Because I got the ad reads for Miracle Brand sheets and Omaha steaks in my podcast. I know this was a 4 hour podcast so cutting that out might have been an oversight, but ad-free eps is one of the biggest reasons why I am a patron and it is a bummer to not get that.
2022-12-16 17:06:52 +0000 UTCThanks for making this significantly less stressful to listen to than in the past! There was even a little coalition building! (I think the question, "Which option has the most support?" should mean, "Which has the most supporters?" When "Which option has the most support?" is interpreted as, "Which has the most passionate supporter?" . . . that's when debates start to drag and Sarah -- and I -- start getting really stressed.)

2022-12-16 16:38:18 +0000 UTCLooking forward to the two tens…I know it’s a different outlet but the 5 person Giant Bomb panel wouldn’t even put Horizon on their top 100. I really hope to see on your lists as it is a top 3 for me this year.

2022-12-16 01:18:48 +0000 UTCGreat catch, yes.
Ben Hanson
2022-12-15 04:35:35 +0000 UTCShould there be a Xenoblade Chronicles 3 spoiler timestamp at around 02:14:36?
2022-12-15 02:32:43 +0000 UTCFreakin phenomenal content keep it up gonna listen to this on my commute to and from work this week
Mark Cruz
2022-12-15 00:59:21 +0000 UTCCan’t wait to give it a listen tomorrow! Even more excited for the debates. Chained Echoes is game of the year material but seeing as how it just came out I don’t see there being time for anyone to play it. Put it on the list for next year. Cyberpunk set precedence I say!!
Ryan Mcginnis
2022-12-15 00:30:27 +0000 UTCMy favourite time of the year! Can't wait to listen
