I'm just a boy and his Magnemite! Comission by the wonderful @do0dledan.bsky.social #Magnemite

The ghost of poached eggs past, as seen in a Muppets Christmas Carol

Two Beautiful tarot-inspired pieces of my WoW Character, K’var, by the amazing @nevtheartist.bsky.social The World, a life of balance and quiet service, and The Star, hope carried forward through the young Druids he teaches. 💚

I've been VERY good this year! 🤩

Loved the 90s style living room that popped up at work last week! 💙

I wish we had more fun with hearing aids. Every manufacturer treats them as something to be hidden away, like I should be ashamed or embarrassed. I love my new Nothing Phone and Headphones, and id love to see some of that design language in a pair of hearing aids.

Thrilled to restart two passion projects! After a busy stretch at PlayStation, I’m diving back into the British Sign Language Gaming Glossary (BSLGG) to create gaming signs in BSL, and launching “Deaf Devs,” a network for Deaf/HoH game devs to connect and find accessible events!

I had a lovely evening catching up with the amazing crew at @manycatsstudios.bsky.social!

In love with the direction my cabin bag is taking. We get so many stickers at work, I never wanted them on my laptop as that get refreshed every so often so I thought they could decorate my bag instead for when I travel with work! 🛫

🕯️Summoning the Games Accessibility Hive Mind🕯️ I’m looking to broaden my radar when it comes to folks doing brilliant accessibility work in and around games, so who should I be paying attention to? Tag people you admire. Plug your own work. Share names, links and stories. I’m here for all of it!

Thank you to all the lovely folks who joined me talk at #develop Hopefully there was a little something for everyone to take away and try! 🤟🏻

Happy Disability Pride Month! 🤟🏻

Pretty sure this means the war of the roses it back on.

Happy Pride Month! I always like to think about this quote from Baine Bloodhoof over Pride: “No life is worth living if we cannot be true to our nature.” 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #Pride #PrideMonth #WorldOfWarcraft

Forza Horzion 5 was the first AAA I consulted on. Keyword highlighting in subtitles and stylish hearing aids to British and American Sign Language!! 🤩 Seeing it come to PlayStation makes me really happy, the team at Playground Games really made something incredible! Gaming is for everyone! 🤟🏻

This is a great review of the feature, and I'm really excited to learn about the ways it's benefiting other players!

Looking for a job in Games Accessibility? Santa Monica Studio is seeking a Technical Accessibility Designer for the development of a new unannounced title! Good luck, potential future work buddies! gamejobs.co/Technical-Ac...

Really excited to see the introduction of Audio Focus on the PS5! Audio focus provides presets to amplify sounds to meet your hearing preferences, such as "Boost Voices" and "Boost Quiet Sounds". d/Deaf & Hard of Hearing gamers, let me know how you find it! 🤟

What a wonderful couple of days at the Games Accessibility Conference! Thank you to the organisers, and to all my fellow speakers for taking the time to share your insights and wisdom. There really is one light of accessibility, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere. 🤟🏻

Last up it’s the award for Best Game which this year goes to… Astro Bot 🏆 #BAFTAGamesAwards

Excited to share that I'll be speaking at Develop:Brighton 2025! My talk is: "Games Accessibility: 6 Tips from Concept to Postlaunch" You can read more about my session here: www.developconference.com/speakers/cam... #ImASpeaker @developconference.com

Not long to go until #GAconf! Which of you lovely people will I be seeing there?

Really love the range of Accessibility settings present at first bootflow during Atomfall, and their presentation! Also, the How To Play guide is so cool. Like reading game manuals back in the day! 😍 Huge congratulations to @cariwatterton.bsky.social and all the amazing devs at Rebellion! ✌🏻

Can’t wait to give my first GAconf talk! 🤟🏻

For Valentine’s Day the very lovely @joemg14.bsky.social got me the perfect gift! This is an excellent Magnemite 😍

I’m biased, but that was one hell of a State of Play! I don’t know when I’ll find time to play everything 😭 Huge congratulations to everyone at Housemarque on the cinematic announcement of Saros! 💙

The next edition of GAconf will be at the Pullman St Pancras Hotel, London, on April 14th & 15th. And hybrid, also free to attend online. Two days of talks and networking on accessibility for disabled players. Registration now open at GAconf.com! #accessibility #gamedev

I’ve never had so much go so wrong so quickly… #Helldivers #Helldivers2

Anyone else watching Silo? I am HOOKED on this second season!

Happy New Year, darlings!

My 2024 Wrapped! 🤟 The 8th of January will mark my one year anniversary as an Accessibility Researcher at PlayStation Studios! This year I got to see my name appear in the credits of Until Dawn, Lego Horizon Adventures and Astro Bot, something I still grin ear-to-ear thinking about! (1/4)

Merry Christmas! 🎄

I am SO excited for the return to Dungeons & Drag Queens!

Me every time I see a picture of a Magnemite

The latest episode of #LowerDecks brought me SO much joy! To see so many characters I loved growing! Andrew J. Robinson is such a gift! I met him at a convention years ago and gushed how much I loved his book “A stitch in time”. He signed his autograph “Never tell the same lie twice” for me. ❤️

I read, watch and listen to lots of feedback from players online about their experiences of accessibility in games (Please never stop! 🙏🏻). Now and again in reply to one of these will be a comment to the effect of: “maybe X game/ genre isn’t for you?” Ha. No. Not today, Satan.

Finished Dragon Age: The Veilguard, it mostly turned into Dragon Age: Wrath of the Lich Fling ❤️ Emmrich Volkarin and Manfred made it memorable for me. I struggled to resonate with, and find enjoyment in a lot of other areas. The combat though, especially as a Mage, felt fun! 🧙🏻‍♂️

I think The Mitchells Vs The Machines might be one of my favourite films!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at our London office! #PlayStation

I find it so frustrating when subtitles are censored for profanity when the audio dialogue they support isn’t! It’s about equal access to the same information as hearing people. Understanding what someone is saying when they swear is as important for context as it is for storytelling.

I love my PlayStation 30th Anniversary DualSense! 😍

One feature I really like in Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the Glossary of Dragon Age terminology. It’s great for me as a retuning fan of the franchise to remind myself of important bits of lore, and it’s a great resource for new players to get more context.

Just tried the Cloud Game Streaming Beta on my PlayStation Portal and I am SO impressed by the quality of the stream. Played a little Kena: Bridge of Spirits and it was gorgeous! 🤩

Today I delievered my first industry talk since joining Sony Interactive Entertainment as an Accessibility Researcher! Thank you to everyone who joined me at the UK Game Accessibility Symposium and for the folks at Ukie and Tencent Games for organising a great event!

I’m very excited to be delivering a Masterclass in Games Accessibility for BAFTA’s Young Games Designers this evening. 💙🤟🏻 #BAFTA #YoungBAFTA #BAFTAYGD

One of the many things I love about Lego Horizon Adventures is some of the disability representation found in the various mini figures, such as one with running blades and another with a cochlear implant! 🤟🏻💙

Very excited to share my third credit since joining PlayStation Studios! I adored working on Lego Horizon Adventures, especially getting to partner with the lovely people at Studio Gobo and my incredible colleagues in PSS User Research! 🤟🏻

Started a start pack of starting for Starters of BlueSky for the people Many Cats says is a cool cat. #FollowThem go.bsky.app/TZRkBTZ

For the Alliance! The shake is SO good! 💜🖤
