Just wanted to give props to @stuartgipp.bsky.social, @dark1x.bsky.social and @tapirfortuna.bsky.social

Many of my favourite @retronauts.bsky.social epis are when the three go through games of a particular series.

Love the chemistry and informative discussion!

My backlog grows after every epi.

My 2026 is getting off to an interesting retro focused year:

Pro-tip: Start the year off by beating the worst game that you can think of. That way, you get the worst thing you’ve played in 2026 out of the way early on.

Nothing I’ll play this year will be any worse than this game (I hope).

I love this game...

We've all heard about Expedition 33 and Kingdom Come, how about reading a Game of the Year list from @paigegguy.bsky.social with Promise Mascot Agency at the very top?

Our January Issue (free!) of the Thirsty Mage Magazine is available for your reading pleasure:

Issue #4 – A Look Back Before Looking Ahead to 2026 RPGs
The New Year is Here!  Another year has flown by in quick fashion, but as we look forward to what 2026 has in store for us, we reflect on the games of 2025 and the changes in the industry that will set the stage for the new year. This month's newsletter looks back on the best 2025 had to offer, an assessment of the current state of gaming hardware, and a list of some of the greatest winter wonderlands as the northern hemisphere prepares for a long cold winter.

Got you covered @nadiaoxford.bsky.social

Doing my part to make sure folks know the best places to get their RPG information.

Saw too many bad takes in the sub-reddit and realized they need better influences lol.

Assessing the Nintendo Switch 2 launch and what is a “Mid-log”?  The Thirsty Mage Magazine shows no signs of slowing down with a jammed pack second issue filled with reviews, assessments, and the introduction of the Mid-Log. We hope you enjoy this new issue of the newsletter. If you do, please share it with a friend! By Paige Chamberlain You’ve heard of a backlog but what about the games you’ve actually started and are far enough into that you don’t want to start from the beginning?

I just discovered Ron Gilbert released a new game yesterday and after years of listening to @retronauts.bsky.social, I immediately wondered when @bobservo.bsky.social would cover it lol.

Blue Jays win 5-2

Leafs win 5-2

If you need me, I'm on the way to the nearest convenience store to purchase 52 lottery tickets.
