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 find it super weird that there are something like three or four different publishers putting out Disney comics when Disney literally owns their own comics company.

Pro tip: if you manage an inn at Christmas time and one of your guests speaks with a non-specific, vaguely British accent and says that he is “in the family business,” he is secretly a Prince of a tiny European country! 🎄

I have never had a bad meal in NOLA. Even the seafood gumbo at the food court in a mall was a step above.

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.

Way back in the early days of the Internet Public Library (late 90s) one of our students did something similar: thought they were deleting a link from their directory to the IPL directory, but instead deleted the actual IPL files. Fortunately we did nightly back-ups and were able to restore.
