Welp this feels like a terrible time to be looking for childcare… ha ha ahhh 😭😅

Tripped up the stairs and spilled coffee all over myself… 2027 will be my year 💯

WAIT ITS NEW YEARS EVE!?! Time really does work different with a newborn 😅🤣

TIL newborns laugh in their sleep because they’re processing the day’s learning 🥹😭

“I don’t think he’s doing it right”

You could say they like the present 🎄💖

Matching Christmas bandanas!

Rest in Peace Uncle John 🤟🏼♥️

Sad news, thinking of his family and folks. Vince was a champion for game accessibility at the most senior level at EA. A major loss for the whole industry. www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/v...

w00t, congrats @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social!

Update: Well, that was short-lived 🥱🤣

New work desktop background unlocked. Sometimes you need some motivation going into the new year. 🥰

Congratulations to idSoftware/@bethesda.net/@lissanna.bsky.social for their Innovation in Accessibility award for @doom.com The Dark Ages!!! What they've done opens up the franchise to many more players and deserves all the praise. More info here: thegameawards.com/news/meet-th...

I got six hours of sleep!!!! 💃✨

Here's @leepetty.bsky.social announcing Keeper's new high contrast modes 😆👍🏻 youtu.be/Qhyf2NgZuVw?... #gamedev #indiedev #accessibility

This is free to submit to, and includes an accessibility category 👀 Get on it people! #indiedev #accessibility

No one mentally prepared me for the first time your newborn grows out of their clothes. I’m not okay. I want him to be tiny forever!! This wasn’t even a couple weeks ago and now it doesnt fit!! 🥺💙

Kick & Play for babies? More like Lounge & Snack for corgis 😆

“You’re deaf? But you’re so pretty!” The fact this has happened to me several times is mind boggling. Ableism is weird.

Marking International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Electronic Arts adds eight more accessibility patents to their patent pledge today, making them free to use. They also open sourced colorblind simulation filters for their accessibility tool Fonttik. caniplaythat.com/2025/12/03/e...

Fonttik expansion includes colorblind simulation filters to better design accessible text and identify barriers! Shoutouts to our accessibility engineering folks for innovating tools at EA and making them available worldwide for all game developers to use! ♿️👏 www.gamesindustry.biz/ea-makes-eig...

Today’s Community Soapbox highlight features @sightlesskombat.com, an award winning, multi-credited accessibility consultant and gamer without sight. Unsurprisingly, his biggest barriers involve gaming independently with no sight at all. caniplaythat.com/2025/11/27/s...

Continuing our guest highlights for our new Community Soapbox series with @shellelittle.bsky.social, a senior digital accessibility specialist and game accessibility consultant. They tell us about the mobility and cognitive barriers they experience while gaming. caniplaythat.com/2025/11/27/s...

Me: Finally! 2:45AM and my newborn is finally asleep. Time to head to bed myself 🙂 My newborn:

Would folks be interested in reading a blogpost about how I’m using accessible technologies as a new deaf parent? Cause boy do I have thoughts! 🤭🍼🤟🏼

As promised we’ll highlight each of our Community Soapbox guests separately this week, starting with @mellymaeh.de. She’s an activist, speaker, and author focused on accessibility, inclusion, and of course gaming where mobility is her biggest barrier. caniplaythat.com/2025/11/27/m...

Broke out the holiday bandannas! Midna’s fur is still wet from her bath 🥹❤️💚

TIL Noise machines exist? And people use them to fall asleep?!? I feel like I’m having a major deaf moment right now 🤣

Feeling especially thankful this year! Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate 🦃✨

What better day than Thanksgiving to introduce a new Community Soapbox series to Can I Play That? With this interview series we aim to use our platform to better represent the wider and diverse disabled and accessibility community. (1/2) caniplaythat.com/2025/11/27/i...

Latest Apiring Career: Musical composer for Fisher-Price toys. Purple monkey goes hard.

The Plants vs Zombies: RePlanted team has been working hard on making this version stand out from the original, and one of those aspects is adding new accessibility features! Kudos to The Lost Pixels team, thrilled to see their advocacy and efforts pay off!

Are you KIDDING ME!? 🥹🤟🏼🩷💕

I'm deeply honored that I am once again nominated for the Best Journalism Award for GA Conf! Especially honored that the story chosen was my AbleGamers report, a difficult investigative piece. Feel free to vote below, as well as read the nominated story: www.ign.com/articles/for...

Wow, I can't believe I am nominated along such amazing advocates I admire and respect so much. It is an honor! And 2nd time? 🥲 I found my calling 7 years ago and I'll continue as long as I can. Our will for a more accessible gaming space is unbreakable. Vote link in quoted post. #Accessibility

Proud and a little bit bashful to be included on a list among so many great people. Shoutout to Paul Parsons for being such a great advocate for accessibility in FC 26!

EA is in great company. Thank you @gaconf.bsky.social for the nomination!

And more! Besides of the incredible work the FC team has put into the high-contrast mode in competitive gaming (it being a first!), I love to see representation of the work the Madrid team has put into developing the IRIS tool and its plugin to detect potential photosensitivity risks!

And more nominations! F1 25 has also been selected as a finalist for their audio driving assists feature included this year! Super proud of the work the team has put into this feature and how many players it has helped ❤️

Great news to see two EA games nominated in this category. Shoutout to @bobmorate.bsky.social for his tireless work supporting F1 driving audio assists!

What a great list of games showcasing incredible achievements in Physical/mobility Accessibility! Shoutout to Dice/Criterion/Motive/Ripple Effect for their work on Battlefield 6, ensuring a large amount of flexibility for control inputs.

I am beyond happy to see both @wildebrut89.bsky.social and Paul nominated for their incredible work with FC's accessibility!!! They've really knocked it out of the park this year, so really glad to see those efforts being recognized! ❤️

Okay but like no one warned me just how much newborns eat. Like I knew it was gonna be a lot but sweet Jesus 🍼🤣 !!!

I couldn’t play games because they weren’t designed for deaf & disabled folks. Got cranky about it. Somehow turned that into a career. Now I’m EA’s Accessibility Director.

La verdad es que da gusto ver. Ojo los equipos se implican con la accesibilidad, toman en serio tus sugerencias y van más allá de hacer un simple port. The Lost Pixels se lo ha currado y se merecen éxito ❤️

HELL YEAH ACCESSIBILITY PATCH LETS GOOO

I left the house today!!! #NewbornGoals
