Is it normal if in Hades to have done 23 runs and I only just got to the boss fight in Elysium? I have no idea if I’m slowly making progress or banging my head against a wall.

Heading home for Christmas 🌲

...and with that my work for 2025 is done. Now let the Holidays begin.

Overheard at a Walmart: “Yeah I’m standing outside a Walmart. I’m going to the kids aisle to look at some Rokus and then go home get stoned and watch Disney.”

As much as I'm excited for Avengers Doomsday, these teasers are the equivalent of "this could've been an email."

It's still going 3 hours later. 😡

NOOOOOOO!

New video is up. 2025 was rough - like really rough. Wanted to be real with you all about what's been going on and what I'm hoping to do differently in 2026. Thanks for sticking around through everything.

The fire alarm in my building has been going off and on every 30 seconds for the past few hours and it's getting super annoying. I don't know if they are testing it or if it's broken. It doesn't go off in my unit, but I can still hear it outside my apartment while I'm working. Ugghhhh

Control is one of my favourite games. The whole Alan Wake universe is awesome. (I'm secretly hoping for some cool accessibility though)

I love these creative videos that highlight some fun accessibility options (yes easy mode can be accessibility, but it alone isn't full accessibility). And with a team like Bloober who has been amazing at producing great accessibility in their games it makes them a studio to keep an eye on for sure.

Nothing is more embarrassing than you're eating breakfast when contractors have to come into your messy apartment (I'm preparing for going home for Christmas, so stuff is everywhere), and they have to measure windows for replacements, I guess (?). Yep that's how I'm starting my work day lol

My family doesn't follow me here, so I feel comfortable in saying that this year my family is getting 3D Printed gifts. I've found fun gifts that fit each of my family members that I think they'd like a lot. I've basically been running my printer almost every day since I got it. I love this thing!

I'm falling in love with my ROG Xbox Ally X more each time I use it. It's been my go to device not just for handheld gaming, but gaming in general. During some work breaks this week/end I did a couple of rounds of Fortnite, ran a few runs in Hades, and played E33 and the Ally runs them with ease.

My final 2025 column for Access Designed is up! I explored some of my favorite games of this year that had the best accessibility and disability representation. Read more on @ign.com here: www.ign.com/articles/the...

NGL hearing about Lamar Wilson’s passing has hit me harder than I thought. I only met him once virtually but he was kind and gracious when he didn’t have to be. He was an inspiration to me in that it’s okay to be a kid at heart well into adulthood. RIP 💔

Assassin's Creed Shadows was up for Innovation in Accessibility at The Game Awards. It didn't win, but it didn't lose either. Spoke to the game's director of user experience about how accessibility is a collaborative effort: "Together, we win." www.polygon.com/assassins-cr...

To those upset, don't know how Comic Books work. You can have Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson in the same room together! Heck, they've been Cap at the same time! Plus if what my friends and I have theorized that this is the MCU's version of Secret War, it makes sense to bring Steve back.

I so desperately want to be in the UK right now, in a pub, having a pint or a cup of tea, with a roaring fireplace going to keep the cold out, and Christmas music is playing. I've had this dream before, but it is filling my waking moments the past week and I'm sad it can't happen right now.

I love this! It's good to look back on what you've done. Here's mine: AC Valhalla Watch Dogs Legion Far Cry 6 TLOU Part 2 Guardians Of The Galaxy Horizon Forbidden West Life is Strange Double Exposure TLOU Part 1 COD Black Ops 6 COD Warzone Forza Motorsport Star Wars Outlaws DOOM The Dark Ages

I sent a photo to space and got this selfie back lol #SpaceSelfie It seemed appropriate haha 🖖 #StarTrek

Good morning! ☕️ Coffee is ready! Let’s catch up on The Game Awards, birthday stuff, and then play some Magic! twitch.tv/stevesaylor

Last night I was randomly chosen to compete in a Pokémon trivia contest. I SOMEHOW WON?! I know almost absolutely NOTHING about Pokémon! The game was 8 rounds of choosing whether it was Pokémon or Medicine lol This was what I won!

No lies detected lol

42 from the top of Toronto 🥳

I’m so happy I got to help out and be a small part of an amazing team like @doom.com who won Innovation in Accessibility at #TheGameAwards last night! Here’s me and Marty Stratton, Studio Head of id Software! PS forgive the stupid face I’m making. I was just really happy lol

Roman Reigns looked at me when I acknowledged my Tribal Chief! lol. I was the only one in my section that raised their hand haha 🤣 #TheGameAwards

Just got a random compliment about my hair while boarding my flight. That just made my morning. 😊

Can't stream today. Have a ton of work to do before travelling. So more likely no streams at all this week. :(

The fact that this is even a possibility is staggering. We forget that these are two studios that are over 100 years old each and both have been on the selling block for what feels like forever. This feels like film history is being sold for the highest bidder.

Well I've hit my first roadblock with 3D Printing: Sanding. I knew it was something folks have mentioned to get smooth prints, but sadly when I tried it, because I had to get super close to the print to see what I was sanding, the dust was starting to get up in behind my glasses into my eyes.

Good morning! Let’s play some Star Trek 🖖 twitch.tv/stevesaylor

It's official, I'll be in LA next week for The Game Awards! If there is anything I should check out (or anyone wants to say hi) please let me know!

Finally was able to play and complete Dispatch by @adhocstudio.com. I really loved the story, the cast, the animation, but the accessibility? Not so much. Here's my full review: youtu.be/bvOm2fvN8jU

I PRINTED THIS!

Good morning! Let’s chat and then play some Star Trek! twitch.tv/stevesaylor

For those who work in Games Media, I have a genuine question. I've watched Game Awards "Picks/Predictions" pieces, and often you skip the accessibility category. I understand why, you don't feel like you have the knowledge to offer an opinion. What could we in the a11y community do to help?

Good morning! Let’s raise some money for kids while we play some Magic! twitch.tv/stevesaylor

Nothing wakes you up more than having the hot water going out halfway through your shower. 🥶😡

I caved. I bought a 3D printer lol

I've deleted 50 ad emails for Black Friday and it's not even noon yet. That's not counting probably the hundreds I've deleted leading up to Black Friday in the past few weeks. What a bunch of digital waste.

Finished Episode 5 of Dispatch last night. I'm really enjoying the story of the game. The actual gameplay of dispatching, I still can't seem to gel with. I'm failing half of the dispatches. I'm trying to upgrade everyone to help, but I'm mostly just barely on either side of pass or fail.

Good morning! 🧊☕️ I’m continuing to play Star Trek Voyager Elite Force today so come on in and let’s hang out! twitch.tv/stevesaylor

We are the crew of the USS Enterprise! Yeah we’re not making it out alive 😂 Join me, @theteemonster.bsky.social @thormungandr.com @thepresidentnoir.com and @ashsaidhi.bsky.social as we play STAR TREK BRIDGE CREW! twitch.tv/stevesaylor

I'm a Doctor, not a Doctor lol

Started playing Dispatch. Just finished Episode 3 and I realized either a) I am just barely average at playing this game, or b) the internet is telling me I suck at this game lol. Granted this was from episode 2, and I did better in the next shift, but damn @adhocstudio.com that's cold.

I missed the actual date, but this month, my YouTube channel is officially 20 years old. I can't believe I've been making content for that long!! If you've subscribed for the past 20 years, thank you. If you've ever seen any of my videos, thank you. youtube.com/@stevesaylor
