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.

I am never going to financially recover from this.

Packing to go to our next stay in Japan after doing a bunch of shopping and my suitcase looks like a little kid who is running away from home.

It’s great to have bangs while being in Japan, the bang capital of the world.

This was my first full month writing on Substack, and it was a great success. I set a goal of reaching 100 subscribers before Oct. 1, and I reached it. Thanks to everyone who has supported my efforts. It’s only up from here! substack.com/@ecreates88

Answering the prompt at the top of this about reviewers with a distinct POV, shout out to @gameonysus.bsky.social! Having listened to pods she’s on for a while now, I know she loves a platformer, hates to see a parry, and can talk about both very well

The people who thought Taylor Swift’s wedding was fake because it looked ugly and the people who thought there were more episodes of Stranger Things left because of the inconsistencies are the only ones who can really understand each other.

Very random (but important) question: What are your favorite non-profits doing work in media, journalism, and (for my own interests) video games? Looking to get a better idea of the kind of work happening out there for a larger project. Likes and RTs appreciated.✨

Me and @isaiahsmith.dev are going to Japan for two weeks for our honeymoon/1 year anniversary! I’ll be out of office until October 12th. No solo streams from me that week either to account for jet lag/getting back into the flow of things. 🫶🏽

5 takeaways from Rob Pelinka and JJ Redick’s Lakers press conference

The Lakers held a press conference with Rob Pelinka and JJ Redick and they addressed a ton regarding the franchise.

After being hot during the preview I'm sad to say the opening of Silent Hill: Townfall is the best part of the game. I finished it after 15hrs (difficulty: half on normal, half on story) and its less scary/tense and more just frustrating. Enemies aren't challenges; they're roadblocks. Skip imo.

Me after looking forward to Control, seeing how clearly off the balancing was and bouncing off it as a result, then reading incredibly asinine reactions to what I had to say (from people who hadn't even played) just to have Remedy patch it:

Took these selfies in @kelslewin.bsky.social’s place and idk what to do with them because if I post them later randomly I feel like she’ll be like “is this at my place?” so the answer is yes. This is at your place.

Mirror picture over the shoulder. Focus is on my outfit which is jeans, a black tank top that’s low in the back, and the coachtopia alter ego black is checker.

Co-signing this as a bisexual who is still usually doing a very tiny hand raise when it comes to bisexuality and pride. Happy bi visibility day bc every woman who feels similar to me but still posts makes me feel less alone so hopefully this does too. 🫶

I don’t make much time these days to listen to podcasts but when I do it’s usually Rebel FM. Specifically I play it in one AirPod while getting my teeth cleaned to distract and relax myself. Works wonders! Highly recommend.
