I had such a great time working on this project! Highly recommend checking this game out if you already have a Netflix subscription. 😀

We don't talk about it.

Guess my wow Druid is now old enough to drink alcohol in the US. 😂

They're putting the economy in time-out?

Congrats to MachineGames and id Software on their #TheGameAwards nominations! DOOM: The Dark Ages -Best Action Game -Innovation in Accessibility Indiana Jones and the Great Circle -Best Action/Adventure Game -Best Performance (Troy Baker) You can cast your vote here! thegameawards.com/nominees

Honored for #TheGameAwards nominations for Best Action Game & Innovation in Accessibility for DOOM: The Dark Ages. Voting is now open: thegameawards.com

Awards season is the best time of the year. So much blood sweat and tears goes on behind the scenes from so many people to make accessibility a reality, it always makes me so happy to see people publicly recognised for it.

Let’s go DOOM: The Dark Ages! I’m so proud of all the work my colleagues put into making a more accessible DOOM game.

Losing Alice feels like being hit with a phaser. I will be offline doing Klingon death screams in her honor until I can process this horrible blow to the space-time and disability and community and geekdom and comraderie and cat lover continuums. -SR

FYI when reporting salary information you should use the median not the average Averages get distorted by outliers way too easily in this kind of data

The crime used to be just existing in the world as your own natural self.

My kid, who thinks she is a cat and communicated primarily via meows in her early life, just had the worst news at the allergy appointment. Not only is she not a cat, she is actually allergic to cats. She is allergic to her favorite thing in the whole wide world.

Filling out my performance evaluation for work and having a hard time because I do so many small things to support others that it is hard to get it into a cohesive story about my accomplishments. I also hate having to write about myself & the impact I have. Also, studio closures make that hard. 😭

i'll go even further and say that i don't care how much money you have, signing up should be enough. you make n+1 times poverty instead of n? cool, take it anyway. you're jeff bezos? hey man, no judgment (on this anyway), you get snap funds. means testing is a plague and everyone should have food.

This is exciting news! If you wanted to find Disabled Creators in a variety of categories, @abletoplay.com has a brand new section on their website where you can find them! I am honoured to be in the first group, so check out all the amazing folks making accessibility related gaming content!

They personally don't need them "yet". They're basically advocating against their older selves' needs. Slower reaction times, lower vision, arthritis, shorter memory, smaller attention span, you name it. They'll come around one day and thank us when they can still play. #a11y #GamesAccessibility

And don't forget:

A press and hold button is to prove I'm not a robot isn't a security fix, it's an accessibility bug

Hey folks. I was impacted by the layoffs at Amazon today. If you or someone you know is in need of a UX Researcher with multiple years of experience leading or supporting research initiatives, games or otherwise, please DM me or reach out to me on LinkedIIn. www.linkedin.com/in/cdwheelock

Seeing folks praising Amazon for "good severance" but y'all, even 5-6mo of severance is not enough with the state of the industry. There are no jobs. There are hundreds competing for every role. These people lived/worked in expensive cities (Irvine, SD, Seattle) and unemployment is garbage.

I'm safe, but the majority of the team I manage has been impacted. If you've got any openings for some amazingly talented games user researchers, please let me know! I have folks to recommend at most experience levels.

Got home from my Las Vegas weekend trip. It was fun but now I’m exhausted. ❤️

A joke about bears: Are bears scary? Yes, beary scary. I hope you enjoyed my little bear joke.

What is autistic burnout like? When a computer goes into safe mode, "that would describe what happens to the brain: it runs on limited function, not all services are available, & its access to the Internet denied & unable to connect." @kieranrose.bsky.social: thinkingautismguide.com/2018/05/an-a...

I really don’t want my household devices to fail every time there is an internet issue or outage.

Seeing the White House torn apart is really emblematic of the times we’re in

In relation to the post for what this person is referring to, several years ago, Walmart added requirements to lift 50 pounds for door greeters so disabled people could no longer do the job

We had a busy year. Both Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and DOOM the Dark Ages are in the same release timeframe for The Game Awards.

Feeling the fall vibes? Want to get your spooky on? Do I have the Demo for you!

Accurate. Heartbreakingly accurate and spot on. It's why I'm starting to look outside games and just giving up on it.

The Accessible Games Initiative shared guidance aimed at anyone interested in implementing the tags on their storefront, website, or other platform. A presentation at GAconf this week explained how to go about checking games against tag criteria. caniplaythat.com/2025/10/01/a...

When you've cleared two goblin caves, an underwater shipwreck, and the entire town of Hackdirt, and you still can't remember where you picked this item up. 🤔

Welp, I guess it's time to relaunch our 2018 "Reproduction Causes Autism" t-shirt campaign—because anyone claiming otherwise is selling something, and/or holding a major US government position. Proceeds to benefit @autisticadvocacy.org. www.bonfire.com/reproduction... #autism #neurodiversity

For no particular reason whatsoever, I wrote a whole book about why society should stop trying to cure #ActuallyAutistic people and instead focus more on creating a better world and society for them. You can buy it here. www.harpercollins.com/products/wer...

Autism Books You Should Know: Nobody's Normal. "With autism the boundary lines are drawn more by culture than by nature. While most of us can easily tell the difference between yellow becomes orange, we probably can't agree on exactly where yellow ends & orange begins." bookshop.org/p/books/nobo...

Have you read Neurotribes?!? If you want to know what autism is and why it is diagnosed more, Neurotribes explains the whole history. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/310415...

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in. Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol. It's like his work never happened.

I AM AUTISTIC. IT IS GENETIC. I got my autism from extremely autistic computer programmer father and my extremely autistic Trekkie mother. I gave it to my kid. The neurodivergent nerd runs strong in our family. We have strengths & we have support needs but we are all valid, autonomous humans.

I'm having to adjust to changes to the UI for my phone and computer. Why can't I have an accessibility option that is "revert to the old interface and icons, and what the heck is even going on?"

Nine in ten #ActuallyAutistic people older than 40 in the United Kingdom are undiagnosed, which makes them susceptible to "age-related problems" and social isolation in older age. www.the-independent.com/news/health/...

Made it back home from my work trip! Yay!

Friendly reminder that curating your own timeline on Bluesky is your best bet for being happy here. Mute keywords that you don't like. Mute accounts you don't care for. Follow feeds to keep your "For You" clean while still having access to a flow of incoming content. Block accounts when necessary.

Another cool online autism summit: Autism From The Inside is "a FREE week-long, online event featuring 20+ pre-recorded sessions from expert autistic speakers from across the globe, each sharing their valuable insights and lived experience." 22-28 Sept 2025! www.autismfromtheinside.com.au/Summit25

This is HUGE NEWS for games made in Unity! If you're a Unity dev you can now add native screen reader support for mobile and PC/Mac using the native OS screen readers! So Windows Narrator and macOS VoiceOver will be able to be used in PC/Mac games!!!! This will be HUGE for blind players!!!

Do good, get layoffs. Do bad, get layoffs. Layoffs don’t ever work to solve problems, so here have more layoffs.

The thing about living in a human society is you either decide that everyone (except those for whom it would be medically dangerous) has to take VACCINES into their bodies or everyone (with no exceptions at all) has to take VIRULENT PATHOGENS in from those around them and, look, the first is better.
