We'll be promoting at @CppCon@mastodon.social! What do you want to see at our booth? It needs to fit in @inversephase.bsky.social's carry-on and not raise too many eyebrows at security.

Bloop Museum
@bloopmuseum@oldbytes.space
mastodon 4.7.2+glitchWe're an electronic entertainment museum. We toot about things that bleep and bloop.
Showcasing games, media, and the machines and micros that play them. Also the occasional oddly-enough hardware, and anything in-between that fits.
We're moving into our own space in Pittsburgh - We'll have 5000 ft² to start, then 10K, then 20K. We have 20,000 items, many that power on! DM us for a tour; we can accommodate most schedules.
We're accepting donations. If it #belongsinamuseum please get in touch!

Just think what will happen when you bring your kid to the museum and they discover all these other artifacts...

Answer: This song is in a very early PC demo called, you'll never believe this, "Coldcut" by UltraForce. Amiga folks had lots of sampled music but the PC was still catching up. For PC users, this was a very early "cool" thing folks with soundcards would show friends.

Yo #Pittsburgh! Bloop is streaming @revision-party.bsky.social live this weekend! Drop by and hit the doorbell anytime 9a~6p today, Saturday, or Sunday to discover the #demoscene at the official US watch party! You can even vote on entries - we've got the codes!

Code clearance bonanza! Bloop version 0.7 is about ready to go. The #museum had a few problem areas that we are cleaning up over the course of the next month to get to 1.0. In the meantime, we're going to try and pass code. #PGH #Pittsburgh #tech
In the hunt for a good 386 to put on the time line, we found some #demoscene goodness!

Amyone out there in #Washington #PA? Today we're at the #Pennsylvania #Trolley #Museum's #vintage #tech #fest promoting Bloop!
The inventory battlestation is ready! We've repurposed a donated computer from our neighborhood and some screens from a local coder.
Bloop Museum version 0.7 is now OPEN!
Today is "Walk-in Wednesday" and the first day that we're open all day from 10am to 6pm. Swing on by, #PennHills and #PGH folks! Time to show you all the cool stuff we're working on.

It's been 10 months since we bought our new building. I'm at the bitter end of getting the #Museum stuff out of Baltimore, and just a little bit loopy.
That's okay Google, we can't confirm *you're* an adult, either!
Ominous #Pittsburgh storms loom, but we are still open for business today until 6pm. It's Walk-in Wednesday at the #Museum!
Apparently editing your place on google maps from a government building to a museum gets your business account suspended 😅
Anyway, Bloop is hard at work on getting our places in order so it's easier to find us in #PennHills, and recently, #PRT renamed our bus stop to include us! Victory!

Still lamenting the early closing of Filmogs and wondering... What's your favorite "manage my movie collection" database? Is it free? How many formats do you collect? What are the strengths and weaknesses you've found?
Can anyone suggest a good place for us to recycle Tetra-Pak in Pittsburgh? Our curbside recycler does not take it.
