Happy #Suikoden release day, y'all! To celebrate, I'm pleased to finally (finally!) announce my next book: "Suikoden 1 & 2" coming from @bossfightbooks.com in 2026!

⚔️ More details: astrolabe.aidanmoher.com/suikoden-1-2...

A 1990's-style video game ad for my Suikoden 1 & 2 book from Boss Fight Books. It features a mockup of the book cover over a red and black map, surrounded by screenshots and logos. The words "Coming 2026" blaze above in fiery letters.

Hello friends. Today, I'm releasing my first Duckspeak album in 5 years. Bones & Skin: 2012 - 2022 is a double compilation pulling together a decade's worth of my rarities, unreleased demos, and covers. It's a vulnerable, messy project that means a lot to me.

An album cover for Duckspeak's Bones and Skin: 2012 - 2022. It shows an abstracted circular texture that looks like skin under a microscope on a faded purple background.

Hot CRT action.

(Also hot @funfactorpod.com action.)

Pretty surreal playing Snake Eater 20 years later and seeing a magazine you wrote for just chilling on a table in a Soviet research lab.

Not to mention just giving you access to all five colours while deck building is already absurdly strong.

Cowabunga Magic players, the second set of 2026 is #MTGxTMNT!

On this episode of @funfactorpod.com, @tyschalter.com and dig into rumours of Square leaving Nintendo for Sony, Bill Donahue’s height, personality-driven games media, and, of course, a deep dive into Game Players’ review of *in the Resident Evil voice* Resident Evil.

Looking forward to the reveal of the Fairly Odd Parents and Drake & Josh standard sets!

(Joke’s aside, the current sale price is such a ridiculously good deal.)

Aidan Moher @aidanmoher.com · 2h

Too cheap. Wait for the sale to end and pay full price and still feel like you’re ripping off the devs.

Aidan Moher @aidanmoher.com · 2h

Solid life choice, honestly.

This is honestly such a lovely examination of @funfactorpod.com and what makes it so special to me and @tyschalter.com. Pete’s a king.

Today I wrote a bit about @funfactorpod.com by @tyschalter.com and @aidanmoher.com. I have written about this excellent magazine-focused podcast before, but having been listening to the latest eps today, I wanted to do so again.

It is a good!

I'm still a little confused how the Blanksword kickstarter hasn't cleaned up, while the Hymn To The Earless God one (which I admittedly helped with PR for, for free) was a big hit while I assumed it would be a far more niche game.

I guess folks just like weird gothy bugs. Silksong backs that up!
