Bloop Museum boosted:

I'm fairly convinced at this point that the secret to longevity is a nice hot shower. In 2024, I went to @revisionparty for one and wrote a song about it...

Inspired by leinad, it's also a @bloopmuseum shill.

Bloop is just shy of $1100 from $300K on our Phase 1 fundraiser!

Be the one to push us past that mark:

YOU ARE IN A TWISTY MAZE OF PASSAGEWAYS, ALL DIFFERENT

A view out Bloop's front door. Slightly more snow has been removed from our last post.

A view from the previous photo to the street. One vehicle can enter the parking lot. We are hoping that vehicle will be the mail carrier and our other couriers.

A view up the hill to the street from our other parking lot. Again, there is basically room for one car to go up or down the hill: Us.

@jcarr forget snowdrifts, even just the wind chill will do that to you right now

YOU ARE IN A MAZE OF TWISTY LITTLE PASSAGES, ALL ALIKE.

perspective view into our snow shoveling path from our front door, but we've barely started The snow is over a foot deep.

@ifixcoinops there's work to be done! We want to order a code inspection by the end of the month!

Weather report from the museum

A snowy scene of the street in front of the museum, which is barely visible. A lamp post, tree, and sign for the bus stop are in the foreground. Another parking lot is in the background.

Shout-outs to Games Done Quick which is already underway. Not a low badge number but still a cool one!

Brendan's doing a late night #AGDQ2026 panel about how he ended up running #MAGFest back in the day and then Bloop #Museum, and doing Q&A - come on by Friday night at 10PM!

Just #Pittsburgh things

The cargo space of a Toyota Prius entirely filled with glass block.

Just wanted to comment and say I'm truly honored by everyone who has supported this year - our newsletters and posts make this look like we have this all planned out - and while there is definitely a plan, this has been a very difficult move. Thanks for hanging with us and sharing our news!

Bloop got a donation match!

Donations before the end of 2025 will be doubled by an anonymous donor - up to $10,000!

“20 totes a-packing” isn't really a lyric to 12 days of Christmas but it IS the most we've ever stuffed into the Prius!

#museum #storage #tetris #moving

The cargo space of a Toyota Prius hatchback with 20 of the 27-gallon black totes — we call them bumblebees — surrounded on all sides by the yellow lids that accompany them.

Happy #Holidays from the #museum! Our timeline is almost fully populated and we're building out exhibits as fast as we can. Check out the cool lighting from one of our volunteers!

You are standing at a curved table looking directly at some white shelving behind the tables. An Atari 800 and second VIC-20 are connected to TVs on the table, and a boxed Atari 400 and VIC-20 are on the shelves. Also visible to the left and right are a Commodore PET, Apple II, TRS-80, TI-99, IBM PC, Commodore 64, Macintosh, and you can barely see an Atari ST and Amiga 1000 around the bend to the right. There are red and green uplights accenting the furniture and red and blue carpet mats in front of the tables. There are no ceiling tiles but a little fairy told me they're coming soon.

Picked up a cute little TV, what do y'all think?

The Weather Channel, retro edition! An "old" Sony Trinitron CRT TV with Weatherstar 4000 emulation.

Our heat pump had icicles on it, so I had to do the obvious

#winter #ice #pittsburgh #PGH

"If you're cold, they're cold - Bring them inside" meme, but it's a heat pump instead of an animal or pet

Attic find. How'd I do?

An ASR 33 in the passenger seat of a car.

We are working around the clock to build Bloop and open by the end of the year, and that includes Thanksgiving. Happy holidays if you celebrate!

We've been working hard, and things are coming along! Please support the #museum this giving season - https://givebutter.com/bloopholiday

A view of a sidewalk in front of an old beige brick municipal building with a red roof, and "coming soon: bloop museum" on a signpost out front. The scenery includes a tree that has lost its leaves from fall near the sign, and a tall radio tower behind the building.

Extremely saddened by the loss of Becky, lovingly known as "Burger", teller of many stories, coder of many games, ports, and libraries. Becky was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma just two months ago and it just moved so quickly. There is a fundraiser that originally was to help with her cancer, and it now looks like it'll be for her kids to help with funeral and the estate.

If you have anything (stories, anecdotes, ephemera) with regards to Becky you want to archive, please get in touch with us!

@avavsystems put it in bloop! :blobsmile:
(well, when you're done playing with it, anyway)
