Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I hadn't seen this since it was new, man I can't believe I recorded a video right after having a tooth removed 180
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 05/10/2026yes yes, extremely relevant!! and reminding me that I need to buck up and take a trip out to Fargo for the surviving work of an unsung game developer (you're invited if you wanna??) 100

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The floppy disks were immediately sold to a collector without examining their contents first, which I know because that collector asked for my help looking at the files. It was almost all nonsense/pirated software, but it could have been really embarrassing. This is a real live person! 42051
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I think I'm thinking about this way too hard but like, this is really dehumanizing? Like when we inherit a collection or help people whose loved ones made games but can't speak for themselves anymore, we separate "collectibles" from archival/personal and we handle the latter with care and tact. 52436
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Like it's one thing to realize one day that all of my life's work is just gone forever, but then to find someone on YouTube flipping through my personal notebooks on camera and selling it to the highest bidder? I'm pretty sure my soul would just leave my body if I saw that. 12253
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Scrubbing through this video made me really sad. Imagine missing a storage unit payment and suddenly your entire career is stripped naked and splayed out butt naked for a few YouTube views before being parceled out. I'm not saying they did anything wrong, it's just deeply unsettling to think about. 1849174

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Part of my daily ebay routine is looking for magazines that have "gaming" in the title. I don't think this one reviews PlayStation games in the back but if you have back issues of Milton in your collection let us know in chat 0413
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 02/10/2026nah it's just regular bloat caused by shrimp, it's just fun to say 0100
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Nothing special, just sometimes you feel kinda bloated if you eat an entire party tray of like, anything 1140

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 01/10/2026since this is taking off: one way I treat myself is I get the giant shrimp cocktail platter from the Costco and eat the entire thing in front of the tv. it's called "self care." sometimes it gives me the Shrimp Bloat, so beware of that. 173525
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I understand completely and am celebrating with you 050
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Jenn I'm going to go to Costco and see my name in a magazine, do you know how long it's been since I could go to a store and do that?? 2380
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 01/10/2026our PR was like "we could ask her to remove that" and I was like "are you kidding me do not touch that" 4830
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Thank you to Costco Connection Magazine for coming up with my new bio 472292291

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I had never seen this Game Boy model that came on an action figure card backing, it makes me happy to look at. Man, remember consumer electronics? 271054226
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 23/09/2026oh man!!! I get frustrated when they waste like 5 minutes of my time sitting on my butt at a computer, this sounds awful 0140
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I don't know if this gets talked about too much, but we are starting to get a lot of archive requests that feel like LLM-generated research slop. The second one was a real bummer, I pulled the book and tried to help them, then got a second near-identical email a week later from a different address. 1018029

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 17/09/2026This is genuinely one of my favorite 1v1 games and I wish there was a way for people to actually experience it, I've only played it at an arcade collector show and haven't seen it in over a decade now 6756

Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 17/09/2026This is a book about portrayals of librarians in video games, which heavily used our video game research library for reference, and then the final work was donated to our library. An ouroboros of video game library. 024955
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I love the videos we've started producing this year, where @jtsknight92.bsky.social finds something interesting in our library and goes down a rabbit hole, teaching you how to research along the way. Also, look at the comments! It turns out intelligent content builds intelligent communities, weird.youtube.comTakumi Kawagoe - Camera Systems, Cinematics, and Defeating GanondorfYouTube video by The Video Game History Foundation 110324
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 12/09/2026This is a part of the game's second level that exists only for you to go watch the birds and enjoy some serenity. It has its own location and scrolls the rest of the level off screen so you're not interrupted, it's very intentional. It's absolutely wild to see something like this on the NES. 942784
