Hello new followers! Yes, I really am a professional video game archivist and comics librarian (a job that 10-year-old Dave would be very impressed with!) This is my personal account. I also maintain the account for the U-M Computer and Video Game Archive at @umcvga.bsky.social

I’ve seen maybe half of the TOS episodes, but I couldn’t tell you which half

Wow!

Yeah, the current team on GA has the vibes of the peak Grell era. As much as I don’t like constant relaunches, it’s such a tonal change from the previous run (Williamson et al.) I think a new #1 would have helped.

My dad was on the engineering team that developed the GMC motorhome. A couple of times he was able to borrow one from work and we would take it on vacation.

Maison Ikkoku is one of my all-time favorite manga—highly recommended

I still remember Sara coming into the office and telling me that “Victoria met the Hawkman guy!”
