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 💛

While I'm away from scanning and whittling away at a larger project, now's as good a time as any to remind folks that I am always open to article submissions to The Stacks if you're looking for a place to post your work. Preference for adult games/history/art history/queerness but open to anything 💛

Obviously this is a good thing because it was 10000% going to topple over, probably onto the road, but it added to the whole ghost town thing Dorothy has going for it. Alas. Maybe I will still immortalise it by getting the derelict version tattooed on me some day

One of my favourite structures in Alberta, the Dorothy grain elevator, got refurbished a few months ago and I have never been more distraught at something being fixed.

That’s just the old CN tower design from when it was a big orb on a stick

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!
