I HATE the job market these days. As someone trying to do a career change for the past year and a half, I do not recommend any part of this. I have an MLIS, I love data, spreadsheets, learning, and video games. Books are my passion. Transferrable skills abound! Hire me, damnit!
Finished @alexwhite.bsky.social's A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe today. Really - *chef's kiss*. The characters all have flaws in some way, which was lovely, and - obviously - FOUND FAMILY! I cried over a robot. Also, the epilogue! So many good things here. I recommend. Book 2 arriving soon!
All my #PAXEast content has been on the @nerdlovesgeek.bsky.social page, so go check all the cool things Eric and I have been doing.
I met @writualmagic.bsky.social and @yourmonstergf.bsky.social today. I don't know how to express how good that makes me feel. Anyway, they're both awesome individuals doing awesome things in gamer space. So...go check them out.
Also made these Moscow Mule Cupcakes from Delish. #Baking
In addition to video games, preservation, and books, I also cook and bake. Currently recovering from surgery, so I have quite a bit of time on my hands. I liked how these came out, so thought I would share. Deviled Eggs with Lox. Recipe mostly from Skinny Taste, but I adjusted a bit. #Cooking
Hit Save board member @kazoodac.bsky.social was recently interviewed by @camerabird.bsky.social as part of a #documentary series dedicated to video game preservation! Ep 1 is live now, so check it out if you want to learn more about how Andrew got involved in game preservation, and how you can too!
39 years ago today, Nintendo released The Hyrule Fantasy: Zelda no Densetsu for the Famicom Disk System in Japan. In doing so, they kicked off one of the most popular and influential game series the medium has ever seen. Happy Birthday #LegendOfZelda!
Today's the day! Come play!

A friend and I are currently reading the same book (it never happens). I have sent him no less than ten messages today trying to gauge where he is so I can talk about this. He's nowhere near me. I just reached another point in the book that has me "Charlie Day-ing" and I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT

The war on ignorance is damn important. Thank you librarians.
(Future) #librarian here. I would like to ask: what is your favorite thing about your local #library?
Free tickets to cultural programs?
Free Internet access and a quiet place to work?
Uncensored knowledge and knowing you're radical just by reading and not buying into the tyranny?
Cause same.
7/ Continued preservation ensures future generations can study, play, and be inspired by these works. Let’s support emulators, digital archives, and legal protections to keep gaming's full story alive.
Games are art, and all art deserves to be remembered! #GamePreservation
6/ Why does this matter? Indie games are often bold, experimental, and deeply personal. They reflect diverse voices and creativity in gaming. Losing them isn’t just losing games—it’s losing cultural history.
5/ Gamers & fans play a huge role, creating patches, mods, and archives for indie games. Their dedication ensures that even lesser-known titles from small studios remain accessible and celebrated.
4/ Legal wins have made it easier to preserve abandoned online games & crack DRM on unsupported titles. This is especially key for indie studios, where financial or technical constraints may lead to games being "lost" without preservation.
3/ Digital libraries, like those by Internet Archive, save games, manuals, and artwork. For indie titles, often distributed digitally, this is critical when storefronts shut down. Without preservation, access to these unique works could vanish forever.
2/ Emulators like Dolphin & PCSX2 ensure retro games remain playable as hardware ages. They’re vital for independent games that may not see re-releases or remasters due to limited resources. Without emulation, these works risk disappearing.
Welcome to my soapbox thread!
1/ 🎮 Over the past 20 years, video game preservation has seen massive strides! Emulators, digital libraries, remasters, and legal wins have helped protect gaming history. But why does this matter - especially for independent studios? Let’s dive in. #GamePreservation
Alright, fine. Take my money 💰❤️
For any of you in the #gaming community, looking for a non-profit to support for #GivingTuesday tomorrow, we're going live on the @hitsave.org channel to raise awareness and support for the ongoing work of video game preservation. Even if you don't have money to give, come hang tomorrow!
