I've finally put together some thoughts on archiving games history, the satisfaction of scanning, and what the future holds. I'd love it if you took a look 💛

Commissioned this beautiful illustration of our wedding from the lovely @imgdist.bsky.social 🥹
Illustration of Joey and Michael amidst a garden of greenery and pink flowers, wind blowing through their hair. Michael is wearing a blue suit and Joey a cream smoking jacket. Joey’s hand rests on Michael’s chest. They are both smiling with their eyes closed.

Picked up a pristine copy of Hustler Hard Drive Issue 1, the copy I scanned before was pretty battered so it’s nice to see it in its prime!

I thought something seemed off about the the image posted below: it's a photo that's been edited and colorized by AI. Please don't do that.

The saddest thing about this is that Dyer is a veteran publisher; he's definitely 100% aware that this book isn't up to their usual standard. Defending this one bad book at a cost to all their other authors is a bizarre hill to die on and not one he would have chosen if he wasn't panicking.

Monday 6th October 2025 Dear supporters of Bitmap Books, Although I stand by the fact that Moses’ comments were ill-advised and insensitive, the whole thing blew up and was made much bigger than it needed to be. Moses has publicly apologised for any offence caused, as has the original poster of the comments who did not intend to cause this much trouble. I do not feel that this warrants an author losing his livelihood and ruining years of hard work to produce the book. Despite multiple accusations to the contrary, Moses freely agreed to donate his royalties to charity. There was no coercion from me, however we both recognise that due to an increasingly stressful situation that decisions were rushed on both sides. I’m pleased to say that Moses and I have spoken again today, we stand together, and have agreed that he will receive 100% of his royalties. Maybe I was hasty in my response, and I’m happy to admit to that. At the time I sincerely thought I was doing the right thing to diffuse an increasingly difficult situation. I will commit to donating all company profits from this first print run to the charity, Special Effect. The bottom line is that is that Moses has apologised for his original comments, and will now be paid the royalties that are rightfully his. Moses and myself have received a large amount of personal abuse and threats over the past few days. We hope that this statement will bring some closure to what has happened. Sam Dyer, founder of Bitmap Books

The URLs at the bottom are no longer online, of course, but the Internet Archive has snapshots and...

The first one is "John Turner's Data Den", which hosts the original artwork shown in this photo (attached to this post.)

And the second is for @michelelight.bsky.social's website!
