There are no words for this. Just screaming will have to do for now...

I don't think it's unreasonable to believe we're witnessing the collapse of an institutional video games media in real-time.

Over the last month I've talked with so many folks from institutions, organizations, studios and much more about video game preservation around the world. Often it can feel like doom and gloom, but there is so much good stuff really happening everywhere now. Video game preservation is hot y'all <3

A fairly tame king's day haul this year, but can't complain about the prices. The total of everything in the photo was about 15 euro. (And switch sports was 5 lol)

I hadn't really kept up with the trailers or previews, so jumping into Claire Obscure: Expedition 33 has been such a wonderful experience so far. The atmosphere, the soundtrack and that fun and fast-paced combat make it such a pleasure to play!

It was such a fun time last Wednesday, when I got to give a talk on the preservation of Dutch games and our practices at Beeld & Geluid. In collaboration with the @dutchgamesassociation.nl it was great to speak with developers directly. Here's the recap: dutchgamesassociation.nl/2025/04/25/r...

European Nintendo fans waking up and seeing what's happening in the US with the Switch 2 pre-orders.

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK WITH ANDOR

I played and completed Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the first time this weekend. What an absolutely amazing experience. It's rare that I go out of my way to hunt as many secrets as I can find, but the castle, enemies and the incredible sprite-work make it a classic for a reason! Loved it!

THERE ARE PHOTOS AND SLIDES AND WHAT THE HECK THIS IS HAPPENING?!

People are calling this a demotion for R.O.B. but he's always been a vehicle to get people to buy an expensive new videogame system.

REPOSTS APPRECIATED ‼️ Please if you're a queer european person or simply a decent human being, sign his petition to help fight LGTB+phobia in EU. Trans people are being persecuted, it ends in a month and in less than a minute you can help people to not lose rights eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

Nintendo's not been great at communicating the Nintendo Switch 2, which has caused a great deal of misinformation. So I went to work. Behold our fully *SOURCED* FAQ with over 95 (!) footnotes with links. Only on @nintendonwr.bsky.social 👇 www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/7077... #Switch2

2026 goals: Alleen nog maar in het nieuws komen, zonder dat ik 'begrafenisondernemer' hoef te spelen. Thanks @jacco00.bsky.social voor het schrijven over het web-archief van Beeld & Geluid en hoe we pogen om Nederlandse gamescultuur te bewaren met de Gamer.nl website. gamer.nl/nieuws/overi...

Ah yes, good luck with making this DIY crafting coffee corner yourself. Who doesn't like a chair with 5 legs and lamps floating in the air. Thanks for that A"I slop Kruidvat
