Hey, friends! Come talk to us about Duck Hunt, why you can't play it on new televisions, and the importance of preserving our gaming history. We're at @hitsave.org Booth #10028 in the corner by @childsplaycharity.bsky.social ! Have an awesome #PAX Day 3!

I needed a second photo. Feeling my hair today. 🤣

Hey, guess what? If you find me or my buddy (Eric) at #PAX, ask us how you can support the preservation of video games with @hitsave.org and then go see @jonasrosland.bsky.social and @gamedocs.bsky.social at Booth 10028! #PAXEast Day 2!!

We're all set up for #PAXEast! Swing by our booth to learn about video game preservation, play some unavailable retro games like Duck Hunt or modern titles from our indie partners, get a #GameBoyCamera selfie photo, or fresh new Hit Save merchandise! This year we've got magnets, pins, and lanyards!

Happy Mabon, loves. ❤️

I made a thing and I am a little proud of it, so enjoy this thing, fair people of the internet. Honey Cardamom Fig Mascarpone Tart Recipe from Poetry and Pies #Baking #DessertSky

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! #Retro #VideoGames

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 #BookSky

Happy #SuperBowlSunday, sports fans! We've got some cool behind the scenes historical video content from the #Madden series and #NFL Blitz looping on our 24/7 #YouTube stream today, so check it out if you need some pre-game entertainment! #SuperBowlLIX #SuperBowl www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb4L...

We are working really hard to ensure that gaming history is preserved and gets to be shared. Come hang out with members of the board, talk about we do, and play some really awesome games!

The Video Game History Foundation Library is now in early access. For free. For everyone. Wherever you are. Read more: gamehistory.org/vghf-library...

Good things come to those who wait - the Video Game History Foundation Digital Library launches on January 30th, 2025. (We'll tell you all about it then!)

It's January, and I started my New Year's bingo card. Time for a new #PromoSky! 🎮Indie Games 🎲TTRPGs 📚Books 🫖Tea 🎂Baking 👩🏻‍🍳Cooking 🪄Fledgling Witch 🐈‍⬛Cat Mom 🎦Streamer 🤣Sarcasm 📜Librarian

Red alert! The Retro Computer Museum in Leicestershire, UK has suffered some nasty flood damage. Please considering donating to their recovery efforts if you are able to do so! www.peoplesfundraising.com/donation/ret... #gamepreservation #fundraiser

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.

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

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!

We're kicking off our @bsky.app debut with a big one! Mattel's #Intellivision turns 45 this month, and we've just added over 3 hours of historical content to our 24/7 preservation livestream to celebrate! Check the stream to see ads, interviews, BTS, art, photos, and more! www.twitch.tv/hitsaveorg

Any Black Friday/Small Business Saturday deals I shouldn't miss in relation to this? #IndieGames #SoloRPG #TTRPG

Since two of us had tiny humans, my gaming group's meetups plummeted. (It's sort of difficult to play TTGs with two two year olds in the space.) I miss playing. So, as an ask: Can you name, link, and sell me on your favorite solo #TTRPG? I need to do something over the winter. Thanks in advance!

Now that we have an official BlueSky account, go check out @hitsave.org because we're awesome. Just a bunch of really cool people running a community driven video game archive. Join the Discord, check out our archive,and check out all the things we're trying to do for preserving games!

We’ve created a starter park for totally awesome indie studios who have games that deserve to be out in the wild. If you would like to be added, please comment below (& please don’t forget to share!) #IndieGames go.bsky.app/Gcn4UH7
