Hey gamers, Whats the saddest song you've ever heard?

Hey guys! A Starfield clip was posted on Twitter (is anyone going to actually start calling it ‘X’?) in which the player fails to get away with stealing something, the camera swivels 90 degrees, and a guard runs in a straight line toward the camera, robotically delivering a line about the player being in trouble for stealing etc, with Oblivion-esque ambient music dissonantly underscoring the scene. This inspired a lot of discourse, some positive and some negative, about Bethesda’s signature style and how it really hasn’t changed all that much. Do you guys view Bethesda’s particular brand of “just-the-right-amount-of-jank-to-be-charming” as a selling point or a drawback?

Hi MinnMax. Sometimes I forget that 3rd parties have been releasing Cloud versions of a few of their most popular games onto the Nintendo Switch. The games selection available is pretty impressive. There are titles like Hitman 3, Control, The Medium, Kingdom Hearts 3, Guardians of the Galaxy or Resident Evil 2,3,7,8. You could be playing these games while pooping on a toilet right now! Have you or anyone you know played any of these cloud version games? I only own a Switch plus a lower end PC so I wouldn't really have any other way to play some of these games. Do you think I should play them via the cloud?

Hey Minnmax, sorry to ruin your immersion, but what’s your favourite invisible loading screen? Are you into the classic “squeeze through a tight space”, or are you a fan of more contemporary styles seen in games such as Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart?

Hello Best Gamerz! Have you ever had a gaming centric sibling rivalry, with heated interactions that were mostly retaliatory? My brother and I would clash many times over games, so it made me wonder if others did as well. I'm not sure who struck first, but our interactions included, but were not limited to: -I opened the PS1 disc tray as my brother was saving his game in Breath of Fire 3, and it corrupted the save. -My brother had my disc for Omega Boost (ps1) in his pocket for whatever reason, sat down and broke it. -I threw his Breath of Fire 3 strategy guide into the ceiling fan, and it pretty much exploded - sending pages flying everywhere. -My brother deleted my save files for several games from my PS1 memory card. Chrono Cross, Legend of Dragoon, Vagrant Story, and more saves were all lost. -The coup de grace: I got our mom to stealth pre-order Final Fantasy VIII for me on her way home from work one day, knowing full well that Final Fantasy VII was my brother's favorite game of all time. I then made a contract that he had to sign and was beholden to, in order to play the game. This last one has been an ongoing inside joke within our family for decades now, and I have the contact somewhere - but cant seem to locate it. Anyways, let's hear those Sibling rivalry gaming related battles!

Dear Minnamax crew: Where do you guys rank the following three tie in video game space themed songs by artists you wouldn’t associate with games let alone this one: Hope for the Future (A Destiny song) - Paul McCartney Celestial (A Pokemon Scarlet/Violet song) - Ed Sheeran Children of the Sky (A Starfield Song) - Imagine Dragons
