I've been accepted as a Gaming Tech Committee Member for the Game Developers Choice Awards (GDCA)! I want to use every bit of my experience to help shine a spotlight on the incredible work of folks this industry, and I hope I can do the role justice gamechoiceawards.com
Did you know there was an official PC mouse released for the PS2? Technically it was for Linux for PlayStation 2, but still a funky relic of the time We just found one internally and it's going into the archives
As I prep for a long weekend of volunteering at an anime convention, I'm a bit sad I took the year off cosplaying. I'm hoping next year will be a big return to it Remembering my first big project
Our physical collection is growing, and we recently came to own a very special and important relic of gaming history No, I will not explain further
PlayStation's preservation journey is on its way, and we're not looking to stop anytime soon. Being able to share our vision, work, hopes and dreams with Sony leadership was a special moment for our team, and I'm excited to see where we go from here
Despite speaking at a number of conferences in the U.S, I've never once spoken on stage in my home turf. That finally changes this year! June 18th you'll find me in Edmonton talking about "What's Your Legacy? - A Guide to Game Preservation"
A few years ago I inherited a bunch of my mom's old books, and I didn't realize this one is a 1891 State of California Anatomy book What do I even do with it in this condition
As I'm packing up the house, I'm going through my old boxes of gaming stuff. Forgot I had all this! My family was clearly big into Diablo and I inherited all of it. Don't ask me about the CD collection that goes with it 😅
I made the reckless decision to try and make both a Chainmail shirt from scratch, but also the Chainmail rings themselves from scratch To help out, I built this dinky little contraption to help me spin the wire (Dowel will get spun by a drill)
Kicking the week off by nerding out over unreleased games with some friends @borman.bsky.social @tuckerhazell.bsky.social
Just got reminded of one of the most fun things I did while touring the U.K: Falconry! Meet Logan the Eagle Owl. I got to take home one of his dropped feathers as a souvenir. It's displayed proudly in my office
