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.

They look like orange cat turds and they’re delicious.

These things are Canadian snack crack.
They're crunchy hard, loaded with salt, exotic chemicals & food coloring, and uneven in shape and size.
They are nothing like the wimpy packing foam Cheetos.
My JP friends were shocked by the saltiness, "I can't taste the cheese!"
They bought some to take home!

I’ve only played about an hour or so, but I’m saving it for a rainy day. Not many new Sakaguchi games left for me to look forward to these days…

There’s something about little guys on little dioramas that just gets my feelings going something fierce.

Aidan and Ty have one of the best podcasts around with Fun Factor, particularly if you're an ageing nerd like me who misses magazines (and still reads old ones on the toilet)

We should all go back to hanging out on final fantasy message boards with 23 other users with Evangelion avatars who all hate each other.
