Unbelievable entries from the MinnMax community in the latest game jam, including a MinnMax-themed rap song that contains more references to our history than I can handle.

Saddened to announce I was affected by the recent Polygon layoffs. Though my time there was short, it was an incredible experience with a truly lovely bunch of people. If you’re looking for a games/entertainment nerd for writing, presenting, PR, or any other opps, hit me up!

I had a good time at DICE, my first time attending the show. It's pretty magical whenever you can spend a couple days chatting with people you've admired for years and years. For example, these Naughty Dog legends just hanging out together before the DICE Awards.

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.
