I left Duolingo when they set out in this direction. Language is the way humans communicate, and I want to learn from humans, by humans, about humans. AI should have no place in this as far as I'm concerner. www.theverge.com/news/657594/...

It's been a while, having fun in the new biome with a whole lot of artefacts (only the Dishwashing Elemental is canon to this biome, though!) #solodev #godot #turnbased

I had a fun time playing Fall Guys during the @safeinourworld.org Ambassador Game Night and we even won a couple of games! Thank you @novanathangd.bsky.social for organizing the event.

Very tired after a long day, gave a speech about how a lot of the hate reviews for @sandwitchdev.bsky.social didn’t talk about the queer characters, because they don’t recognise realistic queer people, but the flags because it’s all they know of us.

I'm now an Mentee for Limit Break Mentorship of 2025! Very grateful for the opportunity, and look forward to start and meet the rest of the Cohort! @limitbreak.co.uk

That was a great Nintendo Direct! I'm certainly looking forward to the new Rhythm Heaven, Tomadachi Life, and Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon Z-A! What did everyone else think of the direct?

What's everyone's thoughts on Assassin's Creed Shadows? I've been debating about whether to get it or not!

Oh shit, Assassin's Creed: Shadows has tone tags in its subtitles for non verbal subtext?!?! Apparently called soemething like "Emotional Indicators" I have been advocating for game devs to try this as an autism accessibility option for YEARS!!! I can't believe someone's finally doing it!!!!

Finances are looking really tight due to some unforeseen circumstances so I'm reopening my commissions full time. I'll post more soon but if anyone is looking for vtuber models (3d), stream/social graphics or video editing, hmu please! #vtuber #vroid #commissionsopen #graphicdesign #videoeditor

Ambassador Virginia Casagrande exposes the emotional impact a lack of context can have on those working in video games localization. 👇 safeinourworld.org/stories/cont...

Happy to share @nyxiria.bsky.social is a part of the 2024 Impact 2024. As an autistic woman, it is important for her to be visible and share her story for others in games. #WeAreImpact

Had a great 25th birthday yesterday!

Rain isn't the most ideal weather, especially when I want to play Pokemon GO and see my friends 😒

Good morning, everyone!

If an autistic person asks for clarification, they are not: - being aggressive - being rude - being obtuse - trying to annoy you - whatever ableist slur you are throwing at them They are : - asking for clarification It's not about you, don't take it personally, just explain.

Have a great weekend everyone! What's everyone's plans for today and tomorrow?

Another day at Bluesky, and it looks like growth is not slowing down! Welcome! We’d like to take a moment to share our stance on AI and user data:

That's WASD officially gone. The rumours had been swirling for months, but I love this event and hadn't completely given up hope of a reemergence. RIP WASD 😢
