Thanks so much for your talk today Jean, it was really great to hear from yourself, especially right now with our current climate regarding sex in games 🙃 I'd love to be involved if you have any future projects on the subject!

I still think about this a lot.

Its one thing to struggle with advocating games preservation in general, but how we preserve pornographic games in the current sociopolitical environment of 2026 is incredibly difficult yet so important to cultural histories. #vgpres26

Jean Ketterling currently discussing some of the really pressing issues facing archivists - like sudden online catalogue erasures eg. itch - and how this is specifically affecting adult & pornographic games. #vgpres26

So cuuuuute

like stepping through a looking-glass

Thinking about how in-house system design seems to be a uniting aspect of archives & institutes preserving games. I wonder if we need to focus collectively on system design & sharing of systems or if it is a foregone conclusion that systems need to be unique to their institutions/locales? #vgpres26

It's so fascinating to me to see different countries & curators videogame collections & practices of preservation. Wytze Koppleman is currently discussing Dutch practices. We're all very similar but also so incredibly unique. #vgpres26

(I'm chairing this panel so I'll be a bit quiet!)

Its encouraging to see so many international guests today 👋 Melanie explains that 'all kinds of creative thinking' is required to unite global partners in games preservation, and having conferences and meetings like today's is so helpful to these efforts. #vgpres26

Melanie's point on how so often archives and archivists can become 'silos' of disconnected information is really important to note. Communication between projects and practitioners is crucial to global efforts of preservation. #vgpres26

@acmimuseum.bsky.social 's preservation projects, especially their emulation collections are so impressive, and really nostalgia for this particular 1990s Aussie teen. #vgpres26

Melanie Swalwell, Professor of Digital Media Heritage at Swinburne University in Melbourne, opens the conference with a talk on games preservation in Australia. I feel oddly patriotic for some reason seeing 1990s Aussie games in emulation & preservation. #vgpres26

We're exploring videogame preservation, museums, archives and libraries today, it should be a fascinating event. It's so nice to see so many of the games preservation larger international family together today, do check in! #vgpres26

Honestly a shame that this CFP (which looks great!) doesn't include queer sports works *outside* of Heated Rivalry...cause when I tell you that sports is so goddamn common in East Asian BLs...

fucking yikes man!

Encouraging to see that Rolling Stone agrees with my chapter regarding Taemin's place within the K-Pop landscape:

This wonderful volume now has a cover and is open for pre-orders! 👏🎉✨

You'll find my chapter on idol #Taemin and the use of the Christ-pose alongside transgressive sexual aesthetics in Part 1, alongside some killer chapters on transmedia storytelling & kpop.

indie directors have no excuse anymore, cause I just found out they shot this gorgeous series ON 2 FUCKING PHONES. 🤯

Whaaaaaaaaa 🤯

The bedrooms of the 4 main characters ✨️alone✨️ is an achievement in set design & attention to detail. Outstanding! 💅

A reminder that the Call for Papers for this event is open until Thursday 26th Feb.

If you have a games preservation story that needs telling, we want to hear it!
