Listener questions for Riley:
@GarrickWinter: How do you balance engaging with topics people are already interested in talking and reading about (like Overwatch or No Man's Sky recently) with writing about niche genres or smaller games that haven't had as much exposure, but may have an untapped audience?
@TimpoAdante: What's one piece you've written (whether for Kotaku or another outlet) that you're incredibly proud of?
Who are a couple of writers whose writing you never want to miss (doesn't have to just be games writing)?
What we’re playing/reading/watching:
Riley: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Elite Dangerous, Wolfenstein The Old Blood and Overwatch
Tanya: Stardew Valley, Witcher 3
David: Starbound ( http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=767686765 )
