Unwrapped a copy of @kelslewin.bsky.social’s book today! The original Animal Crossing has always seemed like a one-of-a-kind experience, even within its own series. Looking forward to learning more!

This week's book mail. A very small haul. One new manga and the last book I needed in the Boss Fight Books series.

One of the coolest things I got to do all of last year
We connected King’s Quest creator Roberta Williams to comedy writer @mikedrucker.bsky.social, who may be her biggest fan, for a conversation about the series’ legacy and a generation’s connection to it.

The full article has been moved from behind the paywall! gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

This year I decided to finally read A Christmas Carol.

Imagine my delight learning that the Muppet adaptation's second best line delivery, "Tiny Tim, who did NOT die," comes directly from the text itself.

"NOT" is canonically in caps.

Some games I loved this year! Not necessarily my games of the year, but games that stood out to me, felt super clever, or otherwise connected deeply.

I'll thread more, but these are the four that I keep thinking about a lot, just incredibly well executed experiences

I pride myself on being not too spammy about it. The soft sell is the only sell I can live with, and that's... the Boss Fight difference

I always feel guilty for not writing more, and then I read this in a day and a half (Birthday gift for my wife, fits in my pocket, easy to reach for instead of a phone)

This piece of writing was so engaging and hit so many things I love, this book may save me from my neurodivergent block.

Whoa, TEN YEARS since the release of Nick's book!
Ah! I missed the 10-year anniversary of the release of my SotC book for @bossfightbooks.com!
(Which, wildly, is the same amount of time that passed between the original game and book launches!)

And there's actually some cool stuff cooking around it for next year!
