You can read Jacob Geller's statement here - https://bsky.app/profile/jacobgeller.com/post/3mwtmr4ccas22 After that, the main show begins as we talk about the unlikely hit game on Steam Dressmaker, rave about Star Wars: Galactic Racer and its wild improvements on the beloved Star Wars Episode I: Racer. Sarah has sunk 200 wonderful hours into Valve's technically unannounced third-person MOBA Deadlock and Haley is sinking her teeth into The Blood of Dawnwalker. After that, we answer some fun and thoughtful questions from the community. As you can imagine, this was a challenging episode to record and we appreciate your patience and support as we enter a new era of MinnMax together. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week.
