I deleted TikTok in July and I swear to god it made my life so much better. It's hard for like one week and then you're fine again. Join me! I know you want to!!

Let's finish Metal Gear Solid Delta (you know you wanna peek) twitch.tv/minnmaxshow

Good question! The problem is devs shouldn't have to worry their summon system is 'different enough' in the first place. If these keep getting approved, how are devs supposed to develop w/o worrying one of their 100s of mechanics is too close to a claim on a patent somewhere?

We didn't expect @haleyfax.bsky.social to take this stand on Volgin in Metal Gear Solid 3... Don't miss out ongoing game club discussion with The Deepest Dive. youtu.be/SmHb9bOkeOI

Urg I HAD to

This deepest dive has been so fun!

Politely disagree. Yes patent infringement analysis requires nuance but this is misinformation. Claim 1 of the 397 patent is an independent claim and, arguably, does not meet several different criteria for patentability. Aka a game mechanic idea patent that shouldn't have been approved.

If it makes one person feel better seeing this on their timeline today it’s worth it. Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️ ❤️ the right to express yourself how you want should never be up for debate

When your pregnancy pillow is calling out for you to play games in bed but it’s 6:48 pm

You're JOKING this was approved. The move of large corporations, particularly Nintendo, patenting obvious gameplay ideas that just happen to be executed via software is one of the greatest threats to game development and creativity. How is the USPTO approving these. (Claim breakdown below)

Can’t nap unless she has an article of my clothing 😭😭

Being on social media this week desperately wanting to like metroidvanias but I just don’t

100% this. With a lot of indie game studios I set up, the owners themselves are technically “Contractors” of the company bc its easier to personally sign a Contractor Agreement than worry about minimum employment standards early on. That label doesn’t automatically equate to lower involvement at all

I love picking Kelsey’s brain on business strategies. Any game store owners should 100% listen to this latest Bonus Pod! Pink Gorilla is one of only 3 retail stores that gets accepted to sell at Pax West! Behind the scenes info you wouldn’t get anywhere else

Obsessed with the Ice Water music video, it's like being wrapped in a 90s anime hug in 2025

I love when Rebecca Sugar is doing stuff

On my way to play games with your girlfriend

When I get an agreement back from the opposing counsel and they ran my template through Google Docs and ruined all the pretty formatting

to the lawyer that added zombie apocalypse to the list of Force Majeure events in this agreement I'm reviewing, you're fun and cool and I like you

We finally unpack the story of Death Stranding 2 on our latest Max Spoilers! Most clips are too spoilery to share here but we can at least post Leo's photo mode slideshow from his absolutely poggers in-game road trip. Watch now on YouTube: youtu.be/j9z1uILl4kE

I just cried while watching this trailer because I was so worried for him if that is any indicator on just how much I won't be watching this movie

I got one of the 500 signed copies lets gooooo!!!!!

Sable loves her best friend Poppy very much, some would say to an excessive degree

Screaming, crying, throwing up

Let me IN

Can never move again

Fingies crossed!

Going to visit my American friends

This was so fun!!!

Famine is not happenstance, it is a political result. It’s evil and strategical. Those complicit love to use that word as if it’s a passive disaster unfolding via random events and not the result of a tactical gameplan playing out by the most evil humans on earth help.unicef.org/donate-to-ch...

Leo's a late blooming lover of Death Stranding, but he has certain issues with what the story seems to mostly be about. $5 supporters can watch or listen to the full conversation here, alongside a breakdown of Sony's Tencent lawsuit and Leo's marriage: www.patreon.com/posts/135185...

If you're curious about this and want a lawyer's take, Bonus Pod is recording in 10 mins and I will be covering this topic! www.twitch.tv/minnmaxshow

In my office working and my partner is in the next room playing Death Stranding 2. BB starts loudly crying and I'm annoyed for half a second, but then realize I'll never have to hear a baby crying in the next room while I'm trying to work for real and a wave of euphoria washes over me

Being a video game lawyer is so cool cause I get to see my client’s awesome projects unfold and also sometimes my clients let me talk about Uma Musume strats during our legal meetings and they give me tips (I love you Akabaka!)

Being 100% real when I say this was such a good year for GTA6 to not come out
