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

Twin Peaks season 2 ep 2: Bob crawling over the couch; still one of the scariest scenes to ever appear on a tv screen.

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.

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

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.

THREAD: Today's the anniversary of a comic I drew &
@ryansara.bsky.social wrote that had a big impact on our careers. In 2001 Sara published their first novel. It did really well. Cicada, a YA lit magazine, invited Sara to write something for them. Then they learned Sara's married to me.(cont)

Anyone else seeing an issue with @libbyapp.com where for most (though not all) books in your library it shows 0 copies (though actually checking out items works fine; seems to just be a display issue?)
