I also told Nicole if the patent gets rejected upon reexamination I will be popping champagne in our next interview so fingers crossed that comes to fruition

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)

So pleased to hear this. Every fellow IP lawyer I know was baffled on the approval of this patent. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Reminder if you have still yet to play 1000xRESIST you are gravely missing out

I have had a dream about ARC Raiders two nights in a row now, we’ve reached subconscious levels of immersion folks

Whoops I played Arc Raiders for 8 hours today

Automatic pre-order!!!

To all the youtubers named PokéAdam or PokéJake with the Pokémon font logos full of Pokémon art out here excusing Nintendo's patent strategy as normal, just know if your channel ever actually started making money Nintendo would shoot you a cease and desist letter faster than you can say Farigiraf

Nintendo’s battle system 2024-031879 patent was rejected by the Japan Patent Office for obviousness in connection w/ prior art! (ARK, Monster Hunter 4, Craftopia, Kantai Collection, Pokémon GO). Aka they actually looked at video games for prior art! UPSTO I’m begging you please take note!

Leo is the behind the scenes 5th member of Pew Pew Bang! Everyone say congrats to Leo for also winning an Astra Award! Our valiant editor!!

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

I may not used my bachelors or masters in journalism that much anymore, but it makes me a goated The Roottrees are Dead player and I think that is worth the debt

There were no Borts left :(

Live right now!!

Pokémon platforming be like

AdHoc Studio has started off on an amazingly strong first foot with what I have played of Dispatch so far. The writing in this is so fantastic, like 10/10, I'd watch this as a show even with no gameplay. I'll be talking about it more on this week's MinnMax!

I learned that Nvidia can make you feel just like Juni from Spy Kids (non-derogatory, not like when he had all those warts in the first movie, remember that, that freaked me out as a kid). Have to watch this clip from Leo and I's stream for more context sorry #ad www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aK6...

Thanks to everyone who paid for additions to the Paintress’ pièce de résistance during the MinnMax stream. Can’t wait to tell my parents this is my most successful piece of art to date. Whatever you think this went for, quadruple it. Also s/o to teen Haley for all the butt/ab drawing practice

100k in 12 hours is absolutely insane. Blown away, y’all are amazing thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Such an amazing non-profit is going to be so positively affected by this money

Oh my God... The Paintress just arrived at the Give To The Max stream and she's painting based on suggestions from donors?!? www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHgh...

Just guys being dudes

My first shiny!!! (look @sarahpodz.bsky.social!!!)

New @pewpewbang.bsky.social recording studio rate our setup

Once had an old friend from school reach out to catch up and I thought that was so nice, but it soon became abundantly apparent they were only doing so because they became a realtor and wanted to sell to me lol Now they send me auto texts (that I didn’t consent to) Isn’t that the worst thing ever

What is going on with American chocolate, it has an aftertaste of vomit lol

We're going live at 3 PM CT for a launch day multiplayer stream of Battlefield 6 with Leo and Haley! It's an NVIDIA sponsored Max Settings stream so expected maximum gameplay at maximum fidelity. twitch.tv/minnmaxshow

Huh! Weird!! Almost like copyright law exists for a reason!

Just wrapped up my platinum of Ghost of Yōtei and it’s always so telling re the quality of a game if 1 I feel compelled to platinum it and 2 I get really into its photo mode So please find my most badass game screenshot of all time (and more below, armour/location spoilers if ya care about that)

How Microsoft can run a monopolistic asset stripping M&A model at the same time as doing this. This is legit getting embarrassing. Greedy greedy greedy greedy greedy. Zero care for optics, and reeks of short term desperation long term fallout

As my generation ages, I’m sure we will see many more elderly female streamers in the friggin 2070’s or whatever but Shirley is so goated for being the blueprint for something that won’t be common for another 40-50 years. The internet is losing a real one!!! Respect on her name!!!

When you dog mom so hard your dog understands the concept of sharing

Ghostface is the Spiderman of horror characters. No I will not be clarifying. Thank you.

Consume Me hits a personal nerve for the MinnMax crew. Don't overlook this incredible representation of the stressful life of a teenage girl... it's cool and fun. Don't miss The MinnMax Show with @haleyfax.bsky.social, @kelslewin.bsky.social, and @sarahpodz.bsky.social! youtu.be/se-CQM_rXwM

Stumbled upon 1996's Titanic: Adventure Out of Time and I have never wanted to stream a game more (aka I already bought it on Steam)

I know I sound like such a little contrarian "look at me I want attention" dweeb when I say this but...........to speak my truth....... I like Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds more than Mario Kart World THERE I SAID IT

GOTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favourite content making season returns tn

Thanks to @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social for chatting with me about the Nintendo patents!

Haley naively let her boyfriend Michael onto this week's Bonus Pod to talk about 100%ing Silksong and now her entire life is on trial. $5 patrons can watch here or listen in the Exclusive Podcast Feed: www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-...

Never had a desk to customize before.

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
