Credit where it's due, @bitmapbooks.com sending me multiple reminder emails inside the same 24-hour period is what got me to finally take advantage of their Black Friday sale. Persistence is key!

I was so excited to get this in the mail today, even though I've never run a tabletop game before. I just love classic Phantasy Star that much.

@matpiscatella.bsky.social Hi Mat, do you have any insight into the accuracy of this statement regarding the popularity of Madden 26 on Switch 2 versus other platforms? I feel like context has to be missing here, and you would be the man equipped to deliver it. Thank you very much!

I am personally begging everyone who cares to read graphic novel Lucas Wars, which just released and tells the full story of how George Lucas created Star Wars. It is so good.

@darrenmooney.bsky.social I received a book about the Power Rangers for my birthday called Morphenomenal, and I was tickled to find that the second note in the entire book is a citation to Darren Mooney!

I would've played the heck out of a Dragon Quest Maker. It's fun to imagine how it would have differentiated itself from RPG Maker. automaton-media.com/en/news/form...

Now that I have this book, I look forward to mastering social engagement and selling millions* of copies of my game instantly when it's ready! (*rounding up a little) @victoriatran.bsky.social

I just wanted to summarize my feelings on Tony Gilroy, Star Wars, and Andor in a very normal and respectful manner.

Cosmic Fantasy Collection 2 arrived from Limited Run Games about half a month early. Truly, this must be a sign of the endtimes.

An "official" announcement is still a while away, but I'm currently developing Earthen Odyssey! It's a full-blown RPG adventure with player marriage & multiple endings, but it's uniquely divided into 10 discrete levels and can be beaten in just a few hours, so that even busy adults can enjoy it!

Hey, there's our nice esoteric trivia for the night: Aya Nishitani, the author of the original novel upon which the whole Megami Tensei franchise was built, has confirmed (for the first time?) that he sold the "secondary and tertiary use rights of the original works" to Atlus.

@gamehistoryorg.bsky.social I'm in a Facebook group for SNES collectors, and somebody posted their collection of vintage vidpro cards from a defunct Toys 'R Us. Among them was the back of The Great Battle, a game planned, then canceled for US release. I'm sharing this image in case it's new to you!

The creators of #SecretLevel come across as incredibly juvenile and petty in their Collider Q&A. The negative critic reviews of Secret Level don't count if the reviewers don't play video games? What? Weak storytelling doesn't magically become better just because you know what the video game is.

These are not the eyes of mercy. #MegaMan

I want to try to actually use this app, so hey, here's a new boss sprite for my game Boss Saga, created by the ludicrously talented Omegachaino. She's Lucca, and her story liberally rips off Lufia and Catherine, among other influences.
