Re: the newest episode of the @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social podcast, Is it Reacher or is it @gameovergreggy.bsky.social ? Two perfect male specimens, same age, same size. Good luck 👀

I really do keep buying these big-ass books, huh? I still haven't gotten to Tom's Crossing 😭 anyways, unless @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social drops a big tome of a book out of nowhere, I think I'm safe from buying any more super large books for a while 😅

Game jam progress for today. Theme is "Spin to win" so I decided to make a game where you spin the ship to avoid asteroids! #pico8 #pixelart #gamejam #gamedev

New #PICO-8 project I'm in the early stages of. I have been fascinated by tardigrades, and want to practice more coding concepts, so I'm making a virtual pet game where you care for a little tardigrade buddy! If it works well, I may try to scale it up! Working title: "See? Bears!" #gamedev #pixelart

Not the rarest of finds, but I have completed my search for first edition copies of the Southern Reach Trilogy! Now I have the OGs, the 10th anniversary editions, and the collected edition! I'll be honest I have a hard time picking a favorite cover design, Jeff's covers always look amazing!

Just rolled credits + epilogue on #Saros and it's going to be tough for a game to beat this one for my favorite release of 2026. Shoutout to @rahulkohli13.bsky.social for a legendary performance and to Housemarque's art department for making the most beautiful game

Today is #Saros Digital Deluxe edition pre-load day for those who celebrate! In honor of which I drew the one who (I'm assuming) is our Carcosan overlord. Can't wait for this game ❤️ @rahulkohli13.bsky.social @playstation.com

A check-in on my reading goals for this year. March brought me some amazing reads, with @haileypiperfights.bsky.social 's "A Game in Yellow" becoming an instant favorite to start March and Becky Chambers' Psalm for the Wild-Built capping things off sweetly. God I love books. #booksky

Today's #pixelart practice was also an outlet for my insane hype levels for the upcoming @rahulkohli13.bsky.social power fantasy known as Saros. Can't wait for this game!

I've been getting into making pixel art as part of my quest to learn game dev. Gotta be honest, the crown on this little guy is the hardest thing I've tried to design yet, holy cow #aseprite #pixelart

A great trip to my LBS! The Between Two Fires find was especially lucky as the self-published version is out of print since he got a traditional publisher to pick it up.

Dead Astronauts still has one of my favorite covers of all time. Legitimately wish I had a poster-sized print of it to hang.

Went to our local book store to pick up a book for Bree and happened to check out the used books and thank goodness I did because now I have a copy of the First Edition of Annihilation! I have the 10th anniversary covers but I love the OG ones too!

Here is a quick look at the top 5 tv shows, movies, video games, and books that I experienced in 2025. (Books don't have to be 2025 releasss because I don't read too many "new" books)

Peter Ropp @peterropp.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

Ok, I promise I am done buying books for a while now, but I had to pick up "Twenty Days of Turin" by Giorgio de Maria based on the recommendation that @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social gave it on here (as well as writing the foreword) Excited to see what awaits inside!

Birthday shopping at my local indie bookstore and B&N got me seven more books I can't wait to dig into (technically six since I read The Gone World on kindle this year, but I wanted a hard copy)!

My Christmas book haul! The tenth anniversary paperbacks of the original Southern Reach Trilogy (I have the collected edition of the trilogy but needed individual copies as well for my collection) and The Conspiracy Against the Human Race as I'm trying to get into Ligotti some more!

I thought the same thing but this was on Control's website so it appears to be a full sequel
