Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Do you think Stephen King ever sits back and thinks 'Good luck adapting THIS one, Hollywood!' 😂 000
Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Sometimes you gotta be able to acknowledge the direction you've taken in a book isn't the right thing for the overall story. Lucky I only got 60k into this novel before realising ;) 000

Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 07/05/2026New dating strategy to whittle out the incompatible - give me the name of a book series that you've read with at least 7 books in it. Then we can go out for coffee. 000

Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 07/05/2026There should be a filter on dating apps to filter out people who don't have favourite books. 000
Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 06/05/2026The Mandalorian and Grogu is one of the worst film titles of all time, and it's not even close. 000
Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Magic night was so fun! We got three games in. I won the first, then was mana starved and had shit draws for the last two. Still, super fun. A mate played the island walk Merfolk deck and just wrecked the entire table. Then my other mate wrecked the table with flying dinosaurs. 000

Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Almost twelve years to the day since I held my first novel for the first time. Thanks for everything, Metro 7. For the lessons learned, the confidence/delusion to keep going, and the knowledge that there aren't many better feelings than holding something you've created in your hands. 000
Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 24/03/2026We're currently watching a real life Picture of Dorian Gray, but the picture isn't a painting kept secret. It's a President kept in the open, reflecting the ugly heart of a nation. 000

Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 05/03/2026It's wild to me that we live in a world where one of the best video game to movie adaptations is Sonic the Hedgehog. And we're getting a fourth movie, and all the preceding three movies go kinda hard. 120
Reposted by Matthew J. BarbelerAutumn Wolff | Lesbian Romance Author @autumnwolff.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Huh. . .you know, one advantage of the LitRPG format is I don't have to work item descriptions into the narrative, smoothing them over into regular sentences. They can be separated into descriptive blocks of text. And that sort of takes a mental burden off me, the writer. Well done, brain. Brain: ☕ 1325

Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Anyone looking to study item synergies, deep mechanical interactions, and a gameplay loop that makes you come back for more-that whole JUST ONE MORE RUN!!! mentality, you should played Mewgenics. 120
Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 19/02/2026My parents surprised me with the best birthday present I've ever gotten... A replica Thylacoleo Carnifex skull, mounted, with custom labelling that matches my book #Carnifex. One of a kind. Best thing ever. 💀 010
Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Last night, while playing Goat Simulator 3, my son and I stumbled across a remake of P.T. - hilarious and terrifying, especially when you're goats. 000

Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 02/02/2026I desperately want to play a video game that makes me feel like I felt when I played Mass Effect 2 for the first time. 010
Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 26/01/2026I think we're at a point in history where we can easily say that America is not the paragon of culture that it once was. It hasn't been for a while. But the rot that has been on display for the last ten years shows a deep well of sickness. Even after Trump is gone, the rot will remain. 000
Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 26/01/2026One benefit of being selfish with my time and energy over the holiday break is that I'm ending January 10kgs lighter, and 30,000 words richer. 000

Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 15/08/2025Thanks PS Plus! I'm playing through Cyberpunk 2077 again, and man, I love this game. Playing through it again, the changes that they've made between launch and now are huge. But it's still great. I never got the Porsche in my first playthrough for some reason, but I got it this time! 020
Matthew J. Barbeler @mrbarbeler.bsky.social · 12/08/2025Quite a few years ago, I couldn't understand how people could choose to not be engaged with the ills of the greater world. Then I had a kid. Went through a second divorce. Spent almost two years in survival mode. Now I get it. If I let some of the bad stuff in, I will crumble. And I can't do that. 140
