And by extension, my most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has ever read, asked for, donated to, shared, or cited one of my scans! It keeps me going and I appreciate it more than you know, and it truly keeps me going! It has given my life new purpose, GA (& you!) are foundational to where I am now 💛

Hard to believe it's already been ten years that Gaming Alexandria has been around. Here's a (late) article about our history, as well as special thanks and small blurbs from others of what Gaming Alexandria has meant to them. Here's to another ten years! www.gamingalexandria.com/wp/2025/11/g...

Struck today at random by the thought of how happy I am to be (and be out as) non-binary and to be able to live truthfully to myself. I am exceptionally fortunate to be where I am today.
A lucky Joey indeed!

Anyone know what the monitor speakers here are? Not the NS-10s in front, the kinda square-looking ones behind. Any help appreciated.

A big milestone while I wasn't looking, the (in-progress) The Stacks Collection is past 700 publications thanks to the diligence of @metalgearsurvive.bsky.social! I look forward to fleshing this out enough for it to be shown publicly in the coming months, because I think it's pretty swell

Went for ramen with my mom today at Kodawari Yokocho and I rather enjoyed the theming (even if it was a bit discordant)

I do not like that there is apparently a resurgence of interest in Morimiya Middle School Shooting contributing to my (bad) video getting a surge in views. I do not like that at all.

It’s my last day of being 27 and I have to say it’s probably been the best year of my life! Lots of archival progress and experience, I got married, I’m more confident in myself and my appearance than ever, and the future is very bright!

I took a lighthearted stroll through the history of Breakout clones, particularly those that are just vehicles to sell sex in video games. They've made a bunch of them! From its earlier Atari beginnings to the present day.
As always, I'd appreciate sharing this. Thanks 💜
