What is Dysentery? (Video Games, Nostalgia, & Storytelling)

The Distracted Librarians | May 15, 2025

Video games have been around for decades, so many of us have nostalgic memories of a family Atari or Nintendo. On the latest episode, the Distracted Librarians discuss their own experiences with video games – from childhood 8-bit games to modern online multiplayer games (and everything in between) – as well as some of the unique storytelling capabilities that video games have.
