@philsalv.bsky.social almost took out one of the Australian museum games curators in 2024. I like to think that Denny’s morphed my stomach into something other now that is in combination with my IBS.

And I’ll say it again. You better care about preservation

Thank you Chris for letting me spiral about game preservation! A great read on the whole DLSS 5 debacle

It's been offline for a couple of months due to hosting issues, but the Video Game Soda Machine Project archive is back online again. If you've ever wanted to browse through more than 3,000 screenshots of soda machines from video games dating back as far as 1983, this is the site for you.

Please someone make a videogame where you have a puzzle minigame to reveal if a character is evil or not, the main baddy waddy, and the answer is just “Guy Sux”

Zucked in and Zucked off

I gave myself anxiety thinking about if people actually start using the NVIDIA DLSS 5 and how adds another layer of complexity to games preservation which is already complex. But it’s ok no one is gonna actually use it.

Guys I’m in a games funk, a slumpy. Please tell me some games that I can play, to free me from my slump hole.

What a delight that you can read about play experiences like this. Big fat chefs kiss. More of this in games please 👍

Crying over this

I posted some longer thoughts about @free-play.bsky.social, its future, and my seven year tenure on the board on LinkedIn.

I did a keynote on games and community in Shanghai. China and wider Asia has an incredible games scene. There are so many innovative practices and games emerging. Very grateful for the experience and excited to always learn more. 💖

Really wild situation here: a celebrated and well-regarded indie dev and publisher is facing shutdown because Valve banned their game from Steam and won't talk to them about it, at all. www.ign.com/articles/uns...

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics. I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

Divas I’m going to Shanghai to give a keynote on games community and how the curator seeks to preserve, represent and celebrate it. Very excited, games are serious and real chinesedigra.org/cdigra-2025/

If you have a cool talk or workshop idea (games related obvi) that you wanted to do please reach out to me ☺️ also if you message me I can’t guarantee you anything. This is vibes. Nothing will be shared.

The boys asked me to come back on Thumb Cramps and review Pokemon Legends ZA. Spoiler I like it. Hate on me about the graphics I don’t care, the game is about Pokemon not windows. It’s not called Windowmon. spotify.link/BSHIMnj8HXb

More than 1,200 video game journalists have left major publications in the past two years, and not returned to the media, according to data supplied to VGC. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/more-th...

More people need to see that Crash Bandicoot watched Notting Hill in Sydney for the launch of Crash Team Racing in 1999. Go to the PlayStation AU Instagram account it’s beautiful.
