Hey look what arrived on the same day. @ckunzelman.bsky.social @bossfightbooks.com

Happy 25th (NA) birthday to Majora’s Mask.

Another 10,000 words on Shadow of the Colossus?! Today, we're posting two never-before-seen interviews @nsuttner.bsky.social did for his @bossfightbooks.com book on Shadow that came out back in 2015. For the first, he talks to @thatgamecompany.com's Jenova Chen.

If you’d like to irresponsibly follow Keita’s recommendation, you can get a copy of the book here: bossfightbooks.com/products/kat...

Accurate; this is the greatest endorsement of all time. The stuff from @bossfightbooks.com are fantastic by the way; they're exactly the sort of thing I would have written if I were still writing.

Sadly we are not going to make it to PRGE this weekend! We've got to tend to some family stuff at home. If you know of anyone hoping to get a last-minute table, hit me up.

Big day! Here's the thing I've been working on for the past few months.

Italian readers, @ludicamag.com has translated & published a couple of excerpts of our books! First is this section from UNTITLED GOOSE GAME by @jickle.net: www.ludicamag.com/oca-terribil...

Whoa, high early praise for our latest! Coming soon.

Our RIVER KING copies have arrived! Sending them out to backers first and then soon they'll be available from bossfightbooks.com. Congrats @aeneas-nin.bsky.social on the wonderful book.

I just realized that this month is the 25th anniversary of the computer game Baldur's Gate II, one of my all-time favorites. If only someone would write a book about it! Right, @bossfightbooks.com? (This year is also the 10th anniversary of my book, somehow!)

TY @bookmansaz.bsky.social for reaching out to stock our books! Stores, it's easy to set up an account with us. More here: bossfightbooks.com/pages/for-bo...

Dan/Dzanc were one of my models of "you can just start a press" -- an indie that published good work, found readers, and made a lasting mark. He was also just a really good guy. We'll miss him.

"A fascinating book." - @paulwerkema.bsky.social's new review of DDR by @jordanferguson.bsky.social & Jessica Doyle paulwerkema.com/2025/09/01/d...

Just loaded my good old tolino with this summer's reading by @mossmouth.bsky.social and @bossfightbooks.com Poor ereader is 12 years old and still running. No e-waste around here!

"Outer Wilds shows that the author is what makes these books special and what they are, and I’m still blown away by how different, but equally impressive, they can be."

This ends tonight!

Holy Heck I was literally checking last week whether there was an audiobook available, Incredible timing <3

OUGH i might go for the dragon age ii one

I really appreciated the opportunity to talk about death in games with Chris! It's a topic I go back to (a few times!) and I have lots of feelings on it, personally and creatively. You can listen to have an existential crisis in real-time! It's a nice podcast, I promise.

The audiobook edition of SPELUNKY by @mossmouth.bsky.social is out now! www.amazon.com/Audible-Spel...

"In LiS, the consequences to your decisions are at-times unpredictable because the characters are so well developed. [...] I loved it mechanically and narratively, even if I was sad that I had failed in saving her." - new interview w/ @kaittremblay.bsky.social! bossfightbooks.com/blogs/news/q...

Why did it take me this long to read @bossfightbooks.com's Soft and Cuddly by Jarett Kobek!? This shit rips!!

"Nature isn’t something to be slain and lorded over in River King; it’s a force to respect and coexist alongside." @kaittremblay.bsky.social interviews @aeneas-nin.bsky.social about his forthcoming book, LEGEND OF THE RIVER KING. bossfightbooks.com/blogs/news/q...

Love this. If our books aren’t in your library, there is often an online form for you to put in a request

Idea - Grainy downres demakes of contemporary FMV games like Immortality playable only on Sega CD. Could be even creepier?
