The latest issue of ROMchip, a Journal of Game Histories is now online, including my research article 'Arcade Entropy: Materiality and Repair(ing) Authenticity' ➡️ romchip.org/index.php/romchi… I'm very grateful to have my work included, and I can see from the authors list I'm in excellent company. You can find the full table of contents for the Maintenance Issue here: romchip.org/index.php/romchi… Thank you to all the arcade restoration experts I talked with while writing this piece, including @BanjoGuyOllie and @LevelUpLimerick, and also to the @ROMchip_journal reviewers and editors for all their help and advice. #gamestudies #gamehistories #romchip

Editing for @ROMchip_Journal has been esp rewarding, amazing stream of submissions from authors with varying levels of writing exp, topics kinda all over the place, gives me an excuse to read a bunch of pieces I otherwise wouldn't have.
