Hi #booksky peeps. Little update on the forthcoming #Audible version of my third novel, Degenerate. Plus a sample. mattcasa.com/2025/10/15/d...

Degenerate Hits Day One on Audible

Hot take: audiobooks are the best versions of books. I’m no purist who insists books must be experienced in quiet, reflective solitude, or that the truest, best form of any novel is simple wo…

Preorder this, my dudes. Just confirmed Ray Porter narrates Audible version, too, which means insta-buy.

WELP the stupidest idiots in history are in charge of the country, but I'm still required to tell you it's exactly SIX WEEKS until the release of GOD'S JUNK DRAWER.

And, hey, semi-related, do you need someone fun to interview for your website? Your podcast? Your late-night talk show? Let me know!

The cover for GOD'S JUNK DRAWER by Peter Clines, showing a dinosaur skeleton in a black void, along with a space suit helmet, a human skull, a bionic arm, and a stone-tipped spear.

First two episodes of #AlienEarth are made of win. Vibes overflow. Dark, twisted, grotesque, intense, but also surprisingly warm at times thanks to a unique set of characters. Lots of fun so far. Hope it keeps up.

Dude, that’s fantastic. Congrats.

Rayyy.

I’ve sunk like 70 hours into the XSX version and it’s incredible, especially Phantom Liberty stuff. There’s so much to do and see. This game alone could keep you busy for the next few weeks. Enjoy!

Gotta say, I’m kinda blown away that #Cyberpunk2077 is now fully portable on #NintendoSwitch2. If you’ve never played, you’re in for a real treat. And it looks and runs much better than I expected. Just grabbed a quick vid for some friends.

Have to agree to disagree. A smooth fluidity is fundamentally important to my gameplay experience. Try to play a game at 5fps and tell me it’s like helmets in a movie.

Matt Casamassina @mattcasa.bsky.social · Apr 15

I know this is sacrilege as a Nintendo fan, but I didn’t finish Breath of the Wild and barely touched Tears of the Kingdom because, dudes, I couldn’t deal with those framerates. So I’m freakin’ psyched I get to experience them with updated visuals and fluidity on Switch 2.

I love the nano.

Replaying the original Metroid Prime to get ready for the next. Just got the thermal visor again. Still so good. If you never played, it’s an absolute essential on Switch. Wish they’d remaster Echoes and Corruption.

Love the visual options for #MetroidPrime4 on #NintendoSwitch2. 4K at 60 frames HDR or 1080P at 120 frames HDR. And mouse support, although I ain’t playing with Slide-Cons so I’m gonna need BlueTooth mouse support, too, Nintendo.

Fun fact: @ign.com’s Nintendo Voice Chat podcast was a troll name we made to clown on the fact that Nintendo consoles didn’t have official voice chat.

FINALLY… after 17 YEARS… the joke is no longer relevant.

Wow. 😂

@mattcasa.bsky.social & @craigharris.bsky.social we need a new name I guess?

Thank you for these kind words. Made my morning.

Hi everyone. Pleased to announce that I've finished my third novel, DEGENERATE. Not only is it my biggest book at something like 620 pages, it's also the most fucked up. I can't help myself. #booksky

After this week’s episode, #Paradise on @hulu might just be my fave new show. Heart-wrenching and terrifying. Hats off to Dan Fogelman and team. Can’t recommend enough. If you haven’t heard about it, go in cold. Read nothing. Watch nothing. Just enjoy the mystery.

PSA for #iPad users. Skeets is a nice app for native display and it’s got a solid feature set. Worth checking out. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/skeets-for-bluesky/id6466340923
