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

Support our boy @sebsational.bsky.social! Pop Heist is a blast

oh no i got vulnerable on the internet and maybe looked far too inwards to find my Top 10 Games of the Year! giantbomb.com/articles/jan...

my ttrpgs are currently available at NEGATIVE 50 PERCENT OFF (or "fifty percent on") as part of itch's winter sale

I'm done working for the year (GOTY list is still waiting to be published) So I hop you'll indulge me in my annual list of articles I'm actually proud of from the last twelve months. 🧵

Get on our mailing list for sales, discount codes, & announcements! 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 7bc1fc7c.sibforms.com/serve/MUIFAO...

Ambushed by some surprise five-star reviews for Legend of the River King in a @bossfightbooks.com sale email! Best present ever.

Thanks to everybody who ordered directly from us this season -- it helps so much! We've got a big printing/reprinting order in the works with the printers, and y'all funded it.

We are either out of or nearly out of Shadow of the Colossus, Majora's Mask, and Super Mario Bros. 3. New copies will arrive in about 6 weeks. (Along with LIFE IS STRANGE!) Til then, some of our friend stores may have copies. geekyglamorous.com/collections/...

One of my Black Friday purchases just showed up on my doorstep. 📚💙 #BookSky #BossFightBooks #VideoGames #BookHaul

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!

Got some cool books in the mail today 😃 Final Fantasy V by @kohler.bsky.social GoldenEye by Alyse Knorr @bossfightbooks.com

High praise this week for DDR by @jordanferguson.bsky.social & Jessica Doyle. www.goodreads.com/book/show/219148771-dance-dance-revolution

#51: Animal Crossing. Primarily a history of the first AC game. Loved the development story and its info tidbits, with a brief look into its online community and how trading/visiting worked. Other series games mostly show up in comparisons. Would be interesting to see how the author views ACNH now.

Our #gamedev #book_suggestion for today is none other than 'Spelunky' by Derek Yu (published by Boss Fight). It is an autobiographical book that also discusses procedural generation, dev team dynamics, player feedback and more. 📖 bossfightbooks.com/products/spe...

finished this today! 💕 a wonderful read that simultaneously bolstered my pride in the rhythm game community's resilience and amplified my disdain for konami 😅

Some love for RIVER KING by @aeneas-nin.bsky.social on Goodreads :) www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

Spending way too much time picking the game quote to go on the LIFE IS STRANGE bookmark

We need a National Book Awards-style game award: every year a committee of five freaks is handed the keys to all the prestige, they pick stuff no one's heard of, readers (players) get mad, the committee members get defensive, no one is truly happy, and then next year we do it all again

Kinda embarrassed for our scene: art loses again
