Video games have landed at the back end of the UMN Libraries! Thanks so much to Grace for the photo. 🎮

Libraries collect some cool, nerdy things too! This is a map of Castlevania (the video game) by Bill Mudron my coworker cataloged today for the map collections!

@ryfolk.bsky.social probably won’t post about this here, but in the midst of all the bad news lately, I am so excited to know and introduce Associate Professor Ryan! Congratulations; he has worked so hard for this!

First MAGFest (Music and Games Festival) was phenomenal thanks to all these people! ❤️🎮🎶 I got to see some performances, panels, and meet tons of new people. I also got to jam a lot, which was extremely fun! Will hopefully make it back next year!

What a great way to spend my birthday last Friday! I got to play video game music with the Twin Cities Gamer Symphony Orchestra and got to see all the hard work done by my fellow officers and me come to fruition. I even got happy birthday played to me by an orchestra for the first time! 😂

Lloyd approves of the new Super Mario Party Jamboree! Friends, let me know if you want to play sometime (online or in-person)! 😊

For all BlueSky users interested in joining a video game orchestra in the Twin Cities, MN, we’re almost done solidifying plans and will be sharing details ASAP. I’ll share the final details below this post. Looking forward to playing some VGM orchestra music soon!

My name’s Lloyd, and I caused a big iced coffee spill and have no regrets…

Panel done! ✅ So good to share the stage with these people (missing you Myrna, @brohannesjahms.bsky.social, and Steven). They had such good insights, and it was awesome engaging everyone in the audience!

Looked to see how long I needed to wait to check out Super Mario Wonder from the public library, and my goodness, 136 holds!

Patrick has “left the building” as Betsy Friesen (our old supervisor) used to say. Will miss him a lot at work and wishing him all the success in his new position at Hennepin County Library!

I managed to manifest something out of my closet (aka do some quick shopping). 😆

“Hey you. Got one of these things? What’s in yours right now?”

I normally put all the cartridges back in the cases when I’m at home, but these were in the last time I traveled.

I think my use of forward slashes and parentheses has gotten out of hand. 😂
