Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

We're coming into awards season! What have your game accessibility highlights of the year so far been? #gamedev #indiedev #accessibility

For folks engaging with the autism vs Tylenol discussion - please take a step back and consider the assumption that preventing autism is inherently an obvious good. TBH, it's very hard seeing folks ignoring & skipping past the "You shouldn't exist" eugenics part when defending the science.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

If you're more fearful of your child being autistic than them and their friends dying of a preventable disease, you're telling on yourself.

Those without honor are almost always hypocrites, but do not think that exposing their hypocrisy will thwart them. Double standards are their weapons, wielded gleefully against those who attempt to maintain honor and fair play. Do not abandon your own principles, but know when your enemy has none.

Do people still do job updates like this? Anyway, I’m an Accessibility Development Director for EA now! Fancier title, same person trying to help make gaming software more accessible at EA ♿️✨

if I were reporting on the current political moment I’d be looking back at women in games’ reporting, analyses & theorising during gamergate and I’d be asking for their insights

Holy ****. This is one of the most unhinged things I've ever seen spoken aloud. He's directly excusing anti-immigrant murder, because of the lunatic take of it being "anti-crime", and hey, let's just lump trans folks in as legit targets too. Genuinely monstrous.

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures. This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Sorry for being gauche but if you want to get invested in media about witches that isn’t racist garbage that enables a transphobe, check out a game made by a majority of trans people including yours truly. Bonus it helps fund my hopeful escape from this hell.

It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time: 1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society 2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth

Do not blindly trust what you read, don’t let yourself get swept away in reactionary posts. That’s for everyone, not just one group. We are at THAT point in history. Be very careful when protecting your humanity. Stand up with clarity.

The Qatar attack is insanity, and now Article 4 over defending Poland. Still no relief for Gaza or Ukraine. May we all live in much, much less interesting times. Really outright boring times, perhaps - wouldn't that be nice?

This was posted a few days ago, but thought it was worth still sharing. EA FC 26 is going to have HIGH CONTRAST MODE and you can use it in MULTIPLAYER! That's right the first time HCM is being used in a competitive game!! youtu.be/KP8uUCYRNII

Clinton is good people, and is an accessibility expert that has shipped games. Whomever gets him will be glad to have done so :)

Unfortunately I've been impacted by this round of Xbox layoffs. I'll miss being part of Team Green, and judging from other folks I'm seeing that also got hit, at least I'm in some fantastic company. So, looking for my next opportunity - more info: www.linkedin.com/posts/james-...

On the one hand, my meatsuit feels like all its squishy bits were converted to mild pain and less-than-mild nausea while I wasn’t looking. On the other, my mythosaur skull printed really, really nicely. This Is A Way. Wait, sorry, #ThisIsAWay

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon is imo, a wonderful love letter to Bethesda games. I've played thousands of hours of Beth games, and I'm loving this. My favourite bit is that it takes Bethesda's lovable jank, and says "Hold my beer". Then the beer jiggles and flies off into the darkness. Both laugh.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is.. really popular again? I am equal parts delighted and confused, haha. It's a fantastic game, with a full single player campaign + modes, and *tons* of multiplayer modes. youtu.be/_-mUcGaRq84?...

CW: Death and family loss . . Well, this wasn’t what I wanted to build when I got into woodworking, but I’m glad I could do so - an urn for my mom. Her service is tomorrow. The primary material is marblewood, with purpleheart accents. These are rare, complex, beautiful

I've been researching allegations regarding the founder and leadership of AbleGamers. From alleged abuse and harassment, financial mismanagement, and failure of leadership to protect employees, sources recount a hostile environment. Read my latest @ign.com story here: www.ign.com/articles/for...

CW: Family loss. Thread. My family and I lost my mom today. It's not unexpected, but everyone's right when they say that doesn't seem to help much. It was already the worst & hardest year and change I've had prior to this, so Universe, take a breather and go back to spreading this stuff out a bit.

ETERNAL STRANDS ROADMAP 🛣️ Take a peek at what we've got in the pipeline 👀 🔸For dev notes on the next patch 🔗https://bit.ly/ESRoadmap0226 🔸Got questions? We'll answer them tomorrow in our Reddit AMA! 🔗https://bit.ly/ESAMAReddit

I was unfortunately impacted by the studio closure today. I appreciate any support or leads and am open to new work.

@missfire.bsky.social and WB friends - so, so sorry to hear about things. 💔

Wow. Just… wow! The third one is as impressive as anything I’ve ever seen - such an incredible image with such a small pallette

As usual, @bentaels.bsky.social has good advice. I’ll add - learn how your players approach moment-to-moment gameplay, and minute-by-minute gameplay. What does their behaviour tell you about their tactics vs their strategy? What are the successful vs failed patterns in all of the above?

This, uh, this might not look like good news, but it is. There was a big crack, you see, and so.. look, it made sense when they explained it, ok?

To heck with THAT thing in particular. A rotary hammer drill rates 7 James Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Touch That’s out of 10 JSBATTTs. It’d score higher, but the cord is really short, limiting the destructive radius. No word on the presence of any Amontillado.

For gamers using AAC, there’s a lot of very cool new stuff coming from @makersmakingchange.bsky.social! MMC Live – Ep 3: R&D www.youtube.com/live/vDU_FAh... via @YouTube

The Games Accessibility Starter Pack is now so big, it's in volumes! That's more than 150 people passionate about, working in and doing the most to improve games accessibility! Volume 1: bsky.app/starter-pack... Volume 2: bsky.app/starter-pack...

reminder of what voters actually mean here

Narrator: “Meanwhile, James was busy demonstrating why ADHD is strongly correlated with shortened life spans. He had no intention of explaining how or why he’d ended up with super glue on his teeth, but he would later admit it felt exactly as one might expect.

Step 1: Get a good bed of coals Step 2: Make s’more Steps 3-7: Fail to take picture of holding s’more Step 8: Why does my hand look weird? That one got smashed out of being double jointed - is that why? What about the other one? Hrm. Step 9: Oh, hey, someone made a s’more! Forest elves maybe?

Hrm, I’m not so sure of this place. Folks will seem fine, posting about games and cats, and then outta nowhere: Paraphrasing: “Oh no, I’m having such a bad hair day!” And I’m like, nope, can’t relate. Confusion. Sadness. Distant, wistful memories of my brainmeats guarded by a skull that was warm.

Introducing the Rebellion Unplugged accessibility hub! This page will host the accessibility resources for Unplugged's games. 🎲 To go with the Joyride page we now also have Sniper Elite: The Board Game and the tabletop RPG magazine, Adventure Presents! rebellionunplugged.com/accessibility/

Open now: Global Digital #accessibility Survey organized by WebAim and the GAAD Foundation: webaim.org/projects/sal.... #a11y

Unsure about what is included in each game nominated? Maybe find a new awesome game you could play? Enjoy something positive? Steve has got you covered. 😅 #GAConf voting for their awards soon too!

This is a big deal. These changes were going to hide a lot of folks that are disabled and hurt benefits, at a time when more things will disable more people. I do like the severity question, as it adds a lot of useful nuance to the data, but IMO the threshold for counting someone was too high.

📢 PSA: The public vote for the 2024 GAconf Awards opens a week today, on Monday Nov 25th! Keep an eye on this account or www.gaconf.com/gaconf-award... for details of how to vote. Until then, enjoy today's nominations show for The Game Awards 😁 #gamedev #accessibility

"This did not end nearly so well as he believed it would." ... and what the heck has that cat in the bottom right seen?! I tried posting this in The Bad Place, and it autodeleted?? 😅

Love it. ACLU ❤️

🦋 Looking for some great accounts to follow? May we suggest all of the #Gaconf speakers we've managed to track down so far? A great mix of game devs, accessibility advocates and disabled gamers all in one place! #gamedev #a11y go.bsky.app/JCwPeM3

Ok, this is the first thing that's made me miss Toronto in a long time, other than old friends. 😅

Hi friends! I just wanted to give a quick update on The Onion’s purchase of InfoWars, which we can’t wait to relaunch as the dumbest website on the internet. The long and short of it: We won the auction and — you're not going to believe this — the previous InfoWars folks aren't taking it well.

Right. Here's your to-do list for the next two months to put you in the best possible position to survive what's coming: 1. Renew your passport (or apply for a passport) this week even if it is not expiring in the next four years. Renewing early will give you the maximum 10-year validity period.
