Cory, for new (or unique and exclusive) Switch indie games, I have two words that relate to what you said you love: Golf Story. It seems it lacks polish, but it's getting quite a bit of attention in the Switch games thread and elsewhere on the interwebs.

They've also got the following coming as exclusive in some regard, all shameless stolen from this article.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes
Light Fingers
Morphies Law (console exclusive)
Wulverblade (timed exclusive)
Yono and the Celestial Elephants (console exclusive)
Floor Kids (console exclusive)
Sausage Sports Club (console exclusive)

Fear of missing out is a big thing for me in games, so much so that it inhibits my enjoyment of some games. I think I've got a bit more over it these days, I'd agree that you just need to take a leap of faith and enjoy the path you're going on though, I just try to forgot about trying to be a completionist in something I probably shouldn't try to be a completionist in. I think, with me, it's massively made out of the fact that I'm not someone who likes to play through a game multiple times.

On my question, I wasn't annoyed I didn't get it early, was more just a point of how strict it become. The same retailer sent me FIFA a day early last year. They also sent me Fallout 4 about 4 days early!

Thank you to Michael for the pre-show prompt on donating to the Hispanic Foundation. Damn good idea which I wouldn't have got around to otherwise.

Great show as usual folks, though I've got to throw particular appreciation to Mr Sands. Guy delivered some killer lines that seemed not to get much acknowledgement #gauntletrecognised

I suggest Gurren Lagann for The Game King's first Anime.

This is awesome, thanks for sharing. And yes, Golf Story looks rad.

There were a lot of "Umms" in that episode.

I was planning to post something similar. With things like this I am frequently inhibited by doubt/cynicism about donating to charities.

Does anyone have the link to their site?
I tried the googles and there are enough similarly named things, that I am not sure which is correct.

Ignore me, I completely missed the donate box.

I like all of the contributors to the podcast, but every time there is a show with 5 people on it always seems like one too many. I think it is hard to do a chat-type format with that many people, and all kinds of media struggle with this problem, it isn't unique to this podcast. Just some (hopefully constructive) feedback!
