Great game idea ✨️

I want to make sure I'm covering aspects that people are curious about, interested in hearing about &/or stuff that would be actually helpful to folks

This is in a couple of weeks and I'm still building my talk for it, are there any specific topics or issues people are interested in - Specifically in and around videogames in museums and videogame preservation? 🤔🎮

Asking the tough questions as always!

can are video games art discourse be art

The amount of times I'd find myself openly weeping as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn loaded up, istg. Truly one of the most epic opening sequences in gaming and the OST just kills it. 🔥 youtu.be/Ci5oORAvPTU?...

Honestly, the best result 👏

She'll be right!

How I forgot Happy of the End (2024) when I literally have watched it like three times, have read all the manga & have tattoo plans for it, I have no idea

10 BLs to get to know me

You're living rent free it seems! Can't wait till she finds my ahrc funded phd.

Absolutely not to say we don't welcome new voices - which we always need - but dear god its basic academic grounding to check if something has been said before. 9/10 times it has, and often its been said really well. There's so many niches left to explore, why not work on them?

I think its a real issue within game studies that we are constantly having a turnover of people coming into the field, contributing something (that has often been discussed previously) then leaving. The amount of times I've heard that 'no one is studying religion in games' is worrisome.

Of all the ways to do BDSM badly, making it appear chaste is uhhh, yeah. I mean, I don't mind when media makes it overly romantic, or sentimental - but chaste? Kinda feels like that goes against a lot of the great parts of it. Surely (delicious) transgression is one of the aims here, or am I crazy?

Can we like tone down how cool you are please? 😘

You've got this Tommy!

got to admit its incredibly personally satisfying hearing even nintendo say how hard it is to keep games running in a museum - but jesus man you've gotta try

yes, this!

wait till you get to the taxidermized fox-in-drag singing about opulence-

oh no, I'd worried that'd be the case

Seeing this when it came out and I was uh *checks notes* 15...I feel like it definitely had some effect on the old brainpan. 🙃

Video Game Preservation: Practices and Approaches

Very excited to share that on November 10 @discoxford.bsky.social are hosting a hybrid roundtable on Videogame preservation practices with @carrythezero.bsky.social, Alex Habgood, digital archivist at Rebellion studios, and @emarlow.bsky.social:

Every now and then I see headlines about AI and I just think of you and @bvlsingler.bsky.social and sympathetically sigh.

second volume fam rise up!

So excited for this volume (& maybe for its successor 😉) It looks like its shaping up to be a really diverse and fascinating collection of texts on KPop & transmedia storytelling 🙏✨

I feel like this is an immensely important fact several of my mutuals need to be alerted to-
