Ben Hanson speaks with Subnautica 2's design lead Anthony Gallegos for the first time in the latest MinnMax Interview, but they've technically kinda podcasted together back in 2009 on Rebel FM... youtu.be/KMdaEmf612o

So this is what IGN management thinks of fair wages. #IGNLive

IGN Entertainment is refusing to pay its workers the wages we deserve, even as we make #IGNLive the event that it is this weekend. So we left a message that can’t be ignored. And you should too. Let our upper management know that you support us by sending them an email here: bit.ly/4e2uUCP

Maaaaaaybe but LLMs hallucinate tons of shit and if you don't have domain knowledge (which is one big reason a writer might research) then you might not know what your LLM is making up. I tend to stick to primary sources whenever possible; I have a couple of decades of experience with Googling.

It was pretty cool for a community-funded, independent outlet like MinnMax to be invited on morning shows here in Minnesota to talk about Mario. Thanks for making this possible! youtu.be/ZRjDfRUSfFM

Good exposure for @minnmax.com, a wonderful independent gaming outlet! Keep independent games media alive. youtu.be/ZRjDfRUSfFM

Happy one year anniversary to this post.

Cannot pick a favorite line from this letter I received in the mail but sir, how can I respond to your fist fight challenge if you give me no return address??

There is no reforming this. There is only abolition, and then trials.

Gore Fucking Verbinski made an anti-AI movie that’s structured like Weapons meets Twilight Zone Critics will say it’s old man yelling at cloud-style satire. Ignore them! It’s like watching Werner Herzog parachute into the Google Cloud data center, wearing an EMP and C4

This is my hero

Slightly off topic, but my favorite Valentine’s date with my wife was when we were both in college (before we got married), and we didn’t really have plans so we decided to see if we could just walk in to Lawry’s and it was half empty because a bank had just been robbed down the street.

Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

“Me being the closest adult and trying to prevent other students from jumping the gate, I opened the gate for them,” said former U.S. History teacher, Ricardo Lopez. “Within an hour, I was let go.” The full story: lataco.com/teacher-fire... By @izzymirez.bsky.social

all those people complaining about a protest in church are going to rise up over this too right?

I updated my map of Minnesota.

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

The @minnmax.com ICE OUT Charity stream with Giant Bomb was such a massive success. They raised an incredible amount of money, and I am happy I helped. They sent a code for Chicory for my donation, but I am honestly just extremely excited to see such a huge response for our community.

Got in literal screaming fights with my dad in 2016

As a SoCal raised kid, Minnesota was one of the most welcoming places I’ve ever experienced. Snowmobiles, sushi, Thai food, samosas, hot dish from the neighbors, it was so much more metropolitan than what I expected. Yeah, it has its regressive parts, but the cities are the American dream.

Our charity stream with @giantbomb.bsky.social starts NOW! Help us raise money for VEAP and KICK ICE OUT!! www.twitch.tv/minnmaxshow

Based in Minnesota, @minnmax.com usually covers games, but lately its creators have had to dip their toes into talking about what ICE is doing to their neighbors as well. At this point, they don't really have a choice. @yozetty.bsky.social explains:

We’re proud to say we’re donating 100% of profits from today’s sales to VEAP.org ❤️

We're not publishing today. Instead of reading a new story today, we hope you'll join us in attending @minnmax.com's ICE OUT charity stream in collaboration with @giantbomb.bsky.social at 7pm ET 💜 www.youtube.com/live/SMcO71c...

We have @jacobgeller.com and @grubb.wtf flying in to Minneapolis for our big ICE Out Charity Stream with @giantbomb.bsky.social! Tune in at 5pm Central as we raise money to protect our neighbors from ICE. youtube.com/live/SMcO71c...

I'm a resident of the Twin Cities. A small team and I spent 3 days sculpting this for a competition/festival in extremely cold temperatures. We were disqualified for political messaging and one of the organizers defaced it. I have no regrets and I have never been more proud to be Minnesotan. (cont)

Fuck ICE #ICEOUT youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY?...

It was SO cold but the sense of community was overwhelming. Every corner had people handing out hand warmers, warm drinks, and snacks to protestors. My toes were numb and my lashes were frosty but it's nothing compared to the pain our immigrant neighbors are enduring. MN Strong 💙

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Minneapolis says no to ICE.

Minnesota is the best of us.

"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!" "Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!' - two older Minnesota ladies, bidding farewell after the protest
