Ending an awesome week with a Do a Barrel Roll and Bit Brigade show!

Saw a great talk on museum collecting of video games and there's a survey for Alysha's PhD research you all can take as gamers, fans, curators, researchers, game developers, and practitioners. She said she's looking for more North American respondents! researchsurveys.deakin.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_...

This has been an absolute blast! I will miss the people, place, and constant excitement from this experience! So honored to be on a panel with @musicologess.bsky.social, @eightbitaria.bsky.social, and Sarah at Save the Games 2026 at the Strong National Museum of Play! Will hopefully be back again! 🎮

I don’t want to leave the Strong Museum of Play! I want to stay here forever!

Guess I got to play Octopath 2 to hear my favorite selection from TCGSO’s past concert in game! youtu.be/YoCR8pyfjPU?...

Someone mentioned that I was the “loud pizzicato guy,” and you know what, I’ll take it!

But what if I don't wanna >:[ #comic #cats

Tune in tomorrow 03/20/26 to the GameRT YT or Twitch channels to catch our wonderful line of of lightning talks all about gaming and libraries. Full program descriptions are on the GameRT website (link in bio.)

Finally see a light at the end of the tunnel for my UC flare up…it’s been about two months. 😞

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

The launch of the University Minnesota’s Video Game Collection is today! Over one year of planning and consulting resulted in this launch. Thankful to everyone who has given advice on starting this, and hopeful it gets past pilot for it to remain permanent! 🎮

Another day, another time worrying about getting abducted by ICE. Yay…🙃

Passport will be on me at all times from here on out because that is what the U.S. is right now.

Maybe reclaiming my Korean citizenship isn’t a bad idea right now.

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm very excited to announce a new FULLY IN-PERSON recorded cover - The Frostlands from Octopath Traveler featuring The Bards Quartet! originally composed by Yasunori Nishiki. Full video on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqpe... Collaborators and information below!

Traveled back in time. Back from the most memorable trip to Japan. Can’t wait to go back.

I thought that talking again wouldn’t make a difference, and lo and behold, I was right. 😞 #vagueposting

“No place like home” took over “For good” as my favorite song in Wicked: For good!

A moment of silence for my coffee maker of 7 years that has broken down.

Why is Mega Starmie a physical attacker?! 😭

Suggestions for VGM wedding prelude music. Bonus points if it’s on VG Lead Sheets!

Running a gaming event for students this afternoon and advertising our future video game collection. So excited! 🎮

Of course having a philosophical debate with myself about arrangement vs. adaptation had to happen on a Friday afternoon.

Never thought I would ever be asked to peer review an article. My persistence in my research is paying off!
