In the final triple review of the year, I'm covering three trick-takers that go above and beyond: casino-heister Venusian Vegas, snitty restaurant manager Beastro, and social parable The Hedgehog's Dilemma. Read 'em here: spacebiff.com/2025/12/16/v...

Daddy issues the game but the good kind. Very excited for this game.
I am OVER THE MOON that @mackeza.bsky.social wrote about Bundle of Joy for @theguardian.com. I love how she identifies so clearly what I'm trying to capture and share.
What an incredible way to start the week!
