Give Barca what they want

You should all buy this for Chop Shop Bop alone. Ridiculous fun.

What's the greatest level of all time?

Just ordered a bunch of Christmas tree ornaments to decorate a small tree for the first proper Christmas in my own home. Which feels very grown up. Of course the ornaments are all Nintendo themed so that balances it out nicely. No regrets.

To everyone struggling to deal with their 2026 backlog, I have terrible news. Castlevania: Belmonts Curse absolutely fuckin’ rips and you have to buy it. I’m so sorry.

Star Wars Galactic Racer is dope as hell. Play it.

Jacob Geller is no longer a part of MinnMax. He won't be on content moving forward and we won't be publicly airing this week's episode of The MinnMax Show. We're in shock and deeply hurt. Thank you for your patience during this sensitive time.

'The reason Jürgen Klopp builds a team that takes 110 from 114 and wins a European Cup and World Club Cup during that time span...is because they were trying to beat a team that had cheated to the tune of £900m...' ✍️ @knoxharrington.bsky.social column… 👉 Read here: mailchi.mp/theanfieldwr...

Looks like @kylethompsondev.bsky.social has done it again. The movement feels SO good in this. And how refreshing to have a metroidvania that is challenging without needing to be punishing. Really excellent difficulty balancing. Oh and immaculate scoring by Eric Thompson.

To everyone throwing stones at the new Ocarina of Time. In the nicest way possible: y’all are wrong and history will show that.

I would sell an ungodly amount of internal organs to play this thing. Look at that @basearcade.bsky.social @alphachromeyayo.com 😍

Hello old friend.

Have I ever showed you guys my favorite N64 commercial? Here it is, enjoy.

@alphachromeyayo.com Not only did I not know Andrew WK was married to Kat Dennings but he also released a fucking jazz album this weekend?! www.threads.com/share/BAWiE3...

When you realise you don’t have to watch the Reds scrape a draw and can just enjoy United getting beat by Ipswich.

I’m so happy 😭

What’s this? @gameinformer.com in print magazine in Ireland? What a time to be alive.

You’ll recall that Andrew was also enraged about Stop Funding Hate running a Twitter account highlighting to advertisers when their ads were running next to open incitement, and thought that too was terrifying fascism.

I'm about to be playing some Splatoon Raiders with @gameonysus.bsky.social and helping @bloodgodpod.bsky.social raise money for Trans Lifeline!

Man, Persona 3 Reload is such a blast. I cannot believe I never played these games when I was younger. 5 might be one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. P3R runs like a dream on Switch 2. Can see myself double dipping when Metaphor Refantazio drops on the console.

I swear. People who run games companies are mostly fucking idiots. HES RIGHT THERE.

Just deactivated Instagram. The last of the legacy social media sites. I’m on this thing for less than fifteen minutes a week and honestly that feels like as much social media as any person realistically needs.

I did it. I caved.

Where's all the Time Crisis 2 fans at? 🔫 fancy a game at our next event on 21-23 Aug? 👀 #timecrisis2 #belfast #retrogaming #arcade

I’ve played an hour of this and Jesus fucking Christ, Quake and Doom just age like fine wine.

@alphachromeyayo.com Uhhhhh, my guy. . . youtu.be/2Uf4PcgE8gA?...

Bandcamp Friday tomorrow! Support on there helps me and many others absolutely loads, any day of the year But it counts for a bit more tomorrow, so that's nice 💖 (also HUGE thanks to everyone checking out my music on there!)

Spent some time with The Incident At Galley House from @eviltrout.com and I will never stop being grateful for the Indie channel in the @minnmax.com discord for nudging me into puzzle games. Galley House is so brilliantly presented. Can’t wait to play more tomorrow.

Holy shit Truxton Extreme rules. @alphachromeyayo.com @richardtroupe.bsky.social Get on this.

If I read one more terrible take on the ‘historical inaccuracies’ or artistic changes of The Odyssey by someone who couldn’t point to Greece on a map I’m going to lose my mind.

Oh, you're a beloved indie game? Lemme guess, you're about grief. @lucyjames.games joins us on the latest episode of The MinnMax Show to share some hidden gem picks for 2026. SOME are even about topics other than grief! youtu.be/V60zqo74V98

Microsoft and Sony are making it so easy for people to look at modern gaming and just say "F^ck this." @kelslewin.bsky.social, @ohheyitsjeffm.bsky.social, @haleyfax.bsky.social, and @jacobgeller.com unpack the state of modern gaming on the new episode of The MinnMax Show. youtu.be/Lj0XyTzStgg

Digital storage is more expensive than it has been in a long time, with no signs of slowing down. Markets need to *grow* to keep producing results for these companies — by limiting your audience to only people who can afford $1000+ machines and pay $70 rentals, I truly do not know how this continues
