Jeff in NOLA

All the thoughts and prayers your way, Gene. Dealing with metastatic colorectal cancer myself, I know the battle (currently in immuno and chemo as I type this). LSM has been instrumental in helping me in my battle. You’ve got this

Mykal

Love to see you back Gene. Thinking of you during this time! 🙏🏻

Gene, I'm devastated at these news, esp. that you have to go through chemo again. Thank you that you're so open with us. I hope though that it's not a bad one since it's there in your lung for so long now. Please do everything you can to keep your spirit up and eat lots of good red meat for iron. I hope you'll come back on the air for as often as possible, if health permits. You're really brave and I'm glad you're able to smile in spite of it all. Hold on, brother! We love you and we got you 🫂

Bob Spiers

I’m going through the exact same thing as you! Thank you Gene as well. Stay strong

thesonofit

All the best to you as well, Jeff!

Caleb Greer

Gene, I was super pleased to see and hear from you on this episode. So sorry you have to deal with more of this shit. Your strength through all of this over the years has been an inspiration. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and pray it turns out to be nothing or as minor as possible.

Jeff in NOLA

I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers as well.

DogMeat

Love you Gene. I hate that you have this concern and possibly treatment but I am confident in your stubbornness and strength. Prayers for you from Virginia brother!

Twlilight Princess is better than Zelda 1 and 2, Link’s Awakening, Majora’s Mask, and Skyward Sword but it’s not better than Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, Link to the Past, Link Between Worlds, Breath of the Wild, or Tears of the Kingdom.

thesonofit

A good handheld is a gamer's comfort away from home!

Mama Micah

Sending our absolute warmest wishes that your treatment goes well! 💜 -Micah

Woooo, Springfield MA mention, my home town!

thesonofit

Dustin, please refer to Gene: Gene, I forgot to ask if you need any financial support. I'll gladly spare what I can if it helps! Will there be a gofundme? Please consider, if needed!

Otacon

We love you Gene! You got this man!!

Mike1core

Much love gene. My favorite reporter! Wish you the best dude

Frank G.

Woah woah woah Gene. Nobody showed up for Mariokart World, it was bundled in for $30 dollars less calm those cheeks. Nonetheless he's right, we need to show up for Metroid because we're gonna end up waiting for 10 ganon forsaken years for the next one. Metroids dope, for those who haven't played, and Metroid prime 1 is really really good.

Stephen

I believe in you, Gene. I truly believe that you have the confidence and strength to tackle whatever life throws at you. You’re fucking one of a kind.

Glitched

Love ya gene stay up my king !❤️

An optimistic Bears fan

Love you, Gene! Nothing but love and best wishes your way. You're a fighter and you'll come out of top.

Russell Robinson

I'll stand with Brad. Twilight Princess is better than Link's Awakening. Wish it was on Switch.

Kelzilla

The ending with Micah and Gene made me tear up… I hope you get well soon Gene!

Mama Micah

Is the 90 Meat Outlet still open? I remember my boss used to go there for the 30 cent per dozen eggs! -Micah

ZombiesNJ

Love Gene and hope they treat whatever he has. Will miss him on the show and looking forward to him coming back when he’s ready. Get well Gene!

Trent Piccicacco

Gene! Sending you my best wishes, you’ll get through it! Also love the show guys keep it up - from someone who has never owned a Nintendo console 😅

Shard_of_Odium

Still open and going strong! By the way, I’m the one you sent the message to about the La Fiorentina cannoli with the shirt, we’ll definitely have one for you! Best wishes for the holidays to you and the hubby!

Save The Game Media

Technically, Indie just means Independent Studio and Sandfall is independent. Kepler is a co-op of Independent studios. Having a publisher doesn’t mean it isn’t Indie - otherwise Devolver, Annapurna, PlayStack games (like Balatro) aren’t indie. We need a new term or category for games without a publisher or below a certain budget.

I can’t wait to hear about Kirby next week because I haven’t a clue what that game is, I know it has racing elements in it but the other modes confuse me so much. I need it sold to me. Great to hear you back on the show Gene, you will get through this 🫡

Jack Fining

Wishing you the best Gene, the entire LSM community is with you <3

Giovanni D'Amico

Love this comment. So many well wishes, but maybe this one says it best. Go Gene!!

IWorshipCats

Gene, you are truly my favorite LSM cast member. I am mostly listening to Punching Up for you and got back to Jaffe’s channel for you as well. You will get well again soon and you will beat this thing for you good this time. I know it. Stay strong brother!!

Mama Micah

Wow glad it’s still open, place is an institution. Happy holidays to you as well! Man I miss that bakery so much. We’d get a cookie platter from them every Christmas and it was so good! 😊 -Micah

Guybrush Threepwood

We love you Gene. Whatever it is, either its nothing or its something but if its something, you already beat that stuff before, you can do it again.

Bat

Stay Strong Gene! You are the best and we love ya

Austin Evans

Rarely comment but I always tune in, probably one of my favorite last stand shows. Great episode, Gene you are always a joy to hear on this show, I am hoping for the best for you, stay strong.
