in a very pessimistic mindset (a pessy zone if you will) about games lately and Station to Station is the only thing keeping the faith. incredibly deep writing but breezy to read, light gameplay hooks but each serve a purpose & attach you to the story. every session's been absolutely brain-soothing.

got a hot tip from Jacob Geller on how to beat this "boss" and hey. it worked great. watch us play the opening of hours of Resident Evil Requiem with blood dialed up to most/prettiest over on MinnMax - www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bZO... #RTXOn #NvidiaPartner

what the hell did I just read

refusing to shut up about Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie. only case where i will just routinely scroll new reviews and happily read people connecting with it. everything that crew does inspires me so much. u gotta have artists like them in your life. letterboxd.com/leovaderdotc...

Operation Metro Surge? More like Operation Metro Boomin with how this administration has gone Mask Off!

have said this a lot and will continue to say it regularly: doomscrolling creates hopelessness which creates helplessness, actually getting out there volunteering or just connecting with neighbors gives confidence and hope and purpose. it is really as simple as that.

i’m on here now and this game rocks!!!

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

There may come a day when the government can throw me in prison because they find out I have attended or plan to attend a protest, but that isn't the case right now and I'll be damned if I'm going to give them the satisfaction of acting like it is.

any fed watchlist is such a joke because this is the most aggressive of what we're organizing: whistling to alert others of ICE presence, and filming them doing their jobs. would be very easy to just ignore us if the reality of them doing their jobs was something that anyone on earth could stand by.

I will be IN PERSON in studio for this stream!!

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

this immediately and ironically made tears shoot of my eyes like bullets. means absolutely everything to see the world standing up for us.

Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

tyranny is execution followed by a press release

hey i know i'm not exactly going out of my comfort zone here but this Saturday the 24th i'm playing 12 hours of Hitman to fundraise for MIRAC, a group helping lead the fight against ICE in Minnesota. random (brown) people are being violently kidnapped without warrants every day. let's talk about it.

da three most beautiful words in da english language.....

if there's one thing i want to communicate from the situation in Minnesota to those who have been manipulated into supporting the violent kidnapping of illegal immigrants, it's that ICE is violently kidnapping citizens who did absolutely everything by the rules too. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

What's it like to have thousands of ICE agents in your city? We share stories from Minneapolis in this special public version of Bonus Pod. youtu.be/OY6ZPb2NHO8

And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.

How much did the MinnMax crew love Keep Driving? Should it make our list of the 2025's best games? Tune in to the new episode of The MinnMax Show for the kick-off to our big GOTY debates! youtu.be/5LSlLzgQGFs

🚨MinnMax is looking for a production assistant🚨 This is a paid, part-time, contract role for people experienced in editing video, Photoshop, social clips, etc. This is not going to be an on-camera role. Please send a resume and examples of your work to [email protected] Help sharing is appreciated!

recording the most fun/informative/aggressive piece of MinnMax content of the year tonight! Backstage Pass patrons watch it live 2+ weeks before it goes out to everyone. genuinely believe in it so much, great capper on the year. can promise some very surprising games fought for surprisingly hard.

an excellent cause that makes our Game Awards reaction stream tonight less cynical by default! you don't have to watch live to donate, check out that link anytime. a small way to tip the scales against this proudly racist administration.

one of my favorite traditions in my life. we all write jokes and mix them up in a big bowl to celebrate the year in gaming. it's supposed to be a mystery who wrote each joke, so in hindsight i could have been less obviously proud about the last one here.

this is fucking insane

Look at how the top five stats dominate. How do we build our way to Vision Zero when nearly all deaths and injury boil down to "driver thought they were in a hurry."

Leo labeled this clip as "the hottest take ever recorded" and I was like oh what is this and it was me lol

i think i'm just gonna do my first and only subtweet right now and it's for everyone posting about anything. shut da fuck up

"Hey Leo can you do this thing" Leo: Yeah I got you. "It's for Pew Pew Bang" Leo:

here's a clip of some of the Buried City subway extraction chaos that i alluded to this episode. terrifying conclusion to a full round fighting for our lives (with @cobysoftco.bsky.social)

here's a clip of the couldn't-have-gone-better, no-notes revenge that @haleyfax.bsky.social and i got on these guys as they looted @jacobgeller.com's body in Arc Raiders (as discussed in the episode)

in light of recent events i'd like to apologize for my character Dick Cheenie the Dick Cheney Genie that i performed on this year's charity stream. Dick Cheenie was in poor taste and i take maximum accountability. if I'm still laughing about Dick Cheenie that's just how i respond to stress.

we made friends with randos in Arc Raiders and i had the same conversation with them that i have with all my friends. watch the full stream here with Jacob, JeffM and me, what an incredibly fun time: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEe_... #RTXOn #NVIDIAPartner

one of the single digit actual geniuses working on youtube today. what if instead of recapping wikipedia articles we recap the spirit of humanity. what if culture essay b roll was beautiful evocative cinematography. forever criminally underrated www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1eV... @roramdin.bsky.social

@leovader.com @jacobgeller.com and @ohheyitsjeffm.bsky.social are streaming today's much-hyped release Arc Raiders at 12:30 PM CT for another Nvidia sponsored Max Settings! Gameplay lovers are eating good this month. And Nvidia is feeding them! Join us at twitch.tv/minnmaxshow!

the amount. of fucking times. i have rapidly tapped out "iamges" and slammed enter into the search bar. trying to get to google images and making that same typo and going nowhere instead. it has to be my most visited website at this point.

when i was editing this clip yesterday, 5 hours before Pew Pew Bang won podcast of the year, it sure as shit felt like podcast of the year to me. such a joy and honor to be working on, congrats to the whole hard working crew!!

Your all women AWARD WINNING video game podcast Pew Pew Bang!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

i believe in our sponsors. i'm always ready to go to bat for them.

Spent most of my days killing 15 boars for a knight down the road. Now look at me. Level 3.

just reflecting and i really think boycotting xbox games might be the easiest thing i have ever done in my life. and i took online gym!

who typed this.

Okay, I was skeptical before, but Graham Platner officially won me back with his latest tattoo!

Our convention is different. It’s like a laidback adult spring break in Nov. We have rad guests. Pinball. A fun curated vendor hall. Informative panels. After dark activities that are a hoot. Best of all, it’s right on the white sandy beaches of Destin FL & profits go to local charities!

i would like to in this moment extend gratitude to all of the logins in my life that do not require two factor authentication. you are a cool breeze in a sweltering world.
