I picked up the Spelunky book by Derek Yu before my work trip and read it on the flights and it was a really really good read. Super cool to get insight into his brain and how the game came about
I can't imagine how strange I looked on the flights reading a book with a giant eggplant as the cover
Wise choice! I’ve already had to cut myself off mewgenics
Had such a fun first Ironclad run last night. This game does not feel like open beta
Excellent haul!

Me and my boyfriend @scronce.bsky.social booked our flights to the next couple of cons, TFF and FWA.
My next song, a cover of "Busy Sim" from Sims 2 if it were a Devo song is coming along really good
Reading through @bossfightbooks.com GoldenEye 007, and it's been really enlightening
And they're very business slangy
Nope! Haha, just finding that the AI-assisted requests to offer business help are on the rise
A lot of helpful folks over email are worried sick over our plans for Q2

I need to think of stupid ways to play through Legend of the River King. Like the LotRK equivalent of a nuzlocke.
My book BIBLE ADVENTURES is the primary source for a 6-minute chunk of the new Jacob Geller video. Well-cited, too!
Happy to send one on! I just think it's cool to get a copy to someone who worked on the game. You can always get one for a friend later or something if you like it...
I'll happily die on the hill that Dragon Age II was the Deep Space Nine of its time.
Often misunderstood in its time, yet groundbreaking and foundational for its genre (western style RPGs) until this day.
What a (deeply flawed) great game!
Oooooo
A new episode of GAME STUDIES is out! Rudolf interviews @charlottereber.com about her new Boss Fight book on DRAGON AGE II.
Oh cool -- happy to send you a copy! An ebook now or paperback later. It'd be fun to learn how it squares with your own memories
"The result was an often ramshackle sequel featuring a smaller world, fewer companions, and repetitive quests—as well as some of the best characters, dialogue, and storytelling Bioware has ever put to screen."
100%. Sold!
I love Dragon Age II. Looking forward to reading this one.
The ebook edition of DRAGON AGE II by @charlottereber.com is available now on our website: a story of brilliant writers, corporate mismanagement, & romanceable companions. bossfightbooks.com/products/dra...
And you can pre-order the paperback, which goes out next month!
I mean, it's a cool angle! If it's been done, I haven't seen it. We've got to put out a bunch of books before taking on new ones atm
Legit loving these photos of the Czech version of my Minesweeper book. Really looks badass in the black and red.

In the pic is a cool detail from Alyse's book about how big GoldenEye was at Blockbuster in particular -- which was exactly how my friends and I first played it, a weekend rental
I am gonna boost my personal news so that everybody blanket-forgives future sleepless typos, lapses of judgment, petty crimes, etc.
Dang, y'all are on it!
The book Outer Wilds by Tommy Wallach, part of the Boss Fights series
Break out the marshmallows, I finally tracked down my first @bossfightbooks.com
Dan's post reminds me... Czech readers! The translation of Minesweeper from XZONE is available now.
