Hey MinnMax crew, Isn’t it inspiring… a bear followed through on their dreams of starting a bed and breakfast! If you had means to start any non-games media related business what would it be? I’ve always liked the idea of making some sort of gamer cafe, only it can’t be cringey!

Hello Friends! I'm a high school teacher and I have been approved to teach a 15 week elective on "The History of Video Games". It will be an hour each class, it will be once a week, and the course will run twice a year. My question is, what should I teach?!? My current thoughts are discussing the generations, influential people, and important moments. I'm thinking about including "Console Wars" to read as well. What do you think? What would you teach and how should I go about it? I've got all summer to develop my curriculum, and if you can help me out, I promise to add all of your names at the beginning of each lesson as experts. Rick From Brooklyn

What kind of Pokémon are you? How do you do the things you do? Share with me your secrets deep inside. What kind of Pokémon are you? Are you loyal through and through? And do you have a heart that's true? What kind of Pokémon are you?

As summer begins to wind down and we grasp for what's left of the wonderful Minnesota summer weather - what's the most "summery" video game?

Where is the dueling movie podcast a la Crossfade? Did I miss something? I want it baby birded directly into my mouth, please.

Is there a videogame equivalent for tsundoku?

In the last year or so, which has given you more enjoyment: all the games that were free/came with a subscription service, or all the games you paid for?

Steak, chicken, or fish?

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has a charming feature that allows you to clean your party's clothes when you rest at a camp. The party will gradually look dirtier and damaged in cutscenes if you don't. This doesn't really have any effect on the gameplay and is ultimately something that doesn't *need* to exist but I'm really glad it does. It only takes a couple seconds to do but it adds that little extra feeling of adventure. What other "pointless" features in games do you love simply because you think it's neat?

Just a FYI, this episode has already been uploaded. They typically record earlier on Tuesday, I believe, and then upload it to patreon around early evening. I would save this ? for next week submissions.
