Hello, everybody and welcome to a funky new episode of the MinMAC show.

MinMAC show is a place about games, friends, and getting better.

I'm Ben Hansen in the studio with a bunch of lovely folks.

For the first time ever, we have Janick Garcia in the Minmack Studio.

Hello.

For the first time ever, we have Jacob Geller recording with Janet Garcia in the Minmax studio. It's old hat to me. I'm used to it. And we have Kelsey Lewin in person as well. It's also my first time. Why don't I get a fun intro? This is the most fun. Welcome to Minmax USA, okay, what I call the people who don't live in Minnesota, which implies that Minnesota is not in the USA. Don't read into it. This is just what I named the group chat I have with Kelsey and Jacob from SJF. So here's the funky situation. We're all in town. Naturally, I live here, but we have the Minmax community meetup that is happening this Saturday at UtaPills from 12 to 5 UtaPills Brewing in Minneapolis.

And so we're going to be there being very lovely with the community.

We ran into several large snakes.

I would say, just like the Titanic hit a bit of a snake.

So far.

Yeah.

Our dear friend Haley up in Canada was not let through U.S. Customs because she might

appear in a video down here. And they said, well, even if you say you're not going to, we can't let you

because we have reason to suspect that you might appear in the background of a YouTube video,

so therefore you can't go to the U.S., which was really rough. Then extra wrinkle, I am in a little bit of a side room because my kid is sick. And so I'm feeling fine, but we're trying to be cautious. And so my kid is sick. And so I'm going to be over here. At the meetup, I'm going to have gloves and a full mask. And it'll keep my distance from everybody, but it's felt rude not to be there.

It's going to be the first counsel mask, right?

Oh, that's better. Yeah, that totally should. And then today, Leo Vader is like, yeah, it turns out my wife is also sick with the same thing that my kid has. So disconnected entirely. And so people are dropping like flies, which is why in this episode, the mid-max show, we're going to be talking about time flies, all about a game, dropping. I knew that it was coming. Yep. We're going to be talking about, of course, Ninja Guide and Ragebound. Janet played the new bloomer game called Kronos, the new Dawn. We're going to be talking about that. We all played a game called And Roger. We're going to be unpacking that. And then back half of the show, of course, we have some great questions submitted over there by the community. So thank you, everybody, for bearing with us as, you know, it's kind of the fun thing. Jacob, it's like trying to film a Mission Impossible movie. Christopher McCoy doesn't give up. He just pivots. You just got to change the plan. Look, and sometimes those pieces come together, and sometimes they don't, and we won't know until we see the travel. Is it the first third of Final Reckoning or the final third of Final Reckoning? So for audio listeners, I'm in a little like, yeah, control room area kind of off to the side from the restroom over there. So it's hopefully I don't sound too wildly different and all this fun

stuff. But here's the thing. Thank you all for being here in the community. If you would

like to directly support independent games media, if you jump in on Patreon this week, we will

DM you a Steam code for Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3

from Strange Scaffold.

Again, that came out back in April.
