Crazy that they got the guy who created Box Peek to host the Podcast for the next few weeks.

Hello! I'm wondering, is there is a reason or benefit to MM releasing the audio version before the video? What's the usual delay between those? I always prefer to watch the video version but neeeever know for sure if one's coming. Just curious, not really a compaint ; )

Wishing Ben all the best for paternity leave! Random compliment to MinnMax, too: the mic set-up and the sound mixing on the episodes are so good that I can actually hear them comfortably over a very loud and busy food court, which doesn't often work with a lot of other non-MinnMax podcasts. (I was politely wearing headphones, so no general disturbance!)

I was interested in Arc Raiders but the use of AI voices really turned me off of the game.

Jacob hit on why I decided Arc Raiders wasn't for me - the actual loot isn't exciting. Any time I was picking up random components or recycling wires and not in combat I was sitting there wondering why I was playing.

Yo, the energy felt way different this episode, in a good way. Was it the difference in day of recording? Time of recording? Was it like recording at the end of the day so people are more out of "Work Mode", people had different vibes because Ben was about to take a break, or was everyone just seriously that hype about Arc Raiders? There was a definite zest and zing this episode.

Hope you enjoy your paternity leave Ben! You’re in good hands because some of the funniest MinnMax content was made during your last paternity leave like “Reworking MinnMax from the Ground Up” and “Interpreting New Show Plus Ideas.” I’m so excited to see what will happen this time! Congrats on baby #2 and hope your wife has a swift recovery!

I'm happy for Ben's paternity leave but I have to admit I was sorta feeling the next few months of the podcast "wouldn't be the same." But the then the announced Kyle Boseman as the guest host. ...Ben feel free to take a few extra months off if you need. (But do come back eventually!)
