This is so, so well-articulated.

Hard pass on April Fools day. My last two months have already been a cruel joke.

The WebAIM Million 2026 report is out, it reports on overall accessibility across the web: 1. The number of failures increased 10.1% YOY 2. The average number of page elements increased 22.5%YOY Meaning accessibility progress is backsliding. Personally, I am quite certain this is related to AI.

Craft for the afternoon: replacing the backs of some old Monster Hunter buttonhole pins to magnetic so I can use them.

Workday I am begging you, if you’re going to allow companies to force applicants to enter a Field of Study for their degrees, at least let there be a user entered option. I literally cannot put in my Master’s Degree field accurately with any of the options I’m forced to pick from. 🥲

Regardless of how you feel about the quality of LLM-generated code, it's not more important than a literal city.

Publishers when a live service game is ready to launch

Why in the fuck does ANYONE want or need THIS as a part of their hiring process? SMH. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Also, privacy clearly doesn't matter smh lol

The perception of video games and studios as speculative investment opportunities is doing irreparable harm to the industry and its workforce. Idiocy of the highest order.

Let's talk video games UX, and motion sickness accessibility! If some video games make you sick (nausea, dizziness, off balance), first, hello, you are not alone. This is a sensory conflict, due to your body not moving while your eye sees a lot of movement. It’s more common than you think.

If you’ve ever complained about shipping prices, please take that energy and direct it to your elected representatives. Tell them to fight for more funding of the postal service! If we lose the USPS it’s absolutely inevitable that shipping rates will increase with all carriers. 😤

Y'all. Please call your representatives and tell them no to the SAVE act. If the save act passes... That's it. Like, I don't know how else to make folks care about their futures and freedoms anymore. I'm exhausted from warning people for the majority of my adult life. This millennial is tired.

As someone who works with data on a daily basis, this is why irresponsible data analysis is so dangerous. Bad questions still give you answers, bad handling of answers still gives you a data visualization. More than ever before, becoming equipped to scrutinize data visualizations is so important.

Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt. Take the damn money and leave me alone.

happy international women's day women are great—more people should be them, there's always time

Strong reminder: women have not been independent for as long as some folks would like you to believe. We’ve lost rights that we never should have lost.

Mulling over that reddit thread about the team that ran 400 playtests in a month and I have so many questions. Even ignoring the fact OP frames playtesting's purpose as "are you doing it right" and not "are your design intentions reaching players?" There's just so many other red flags to consider.

I am not saying the Olympics get too much attention and praise. Understand that. But I am definitely saying that the Paralympics don't get enough. So proud of all the amazing #Paralympians!

Great to know their CEO doesn't even understand how AI works. It's not anxious because it's conscious, dumbass. It's anxious because you've been scraping the social media of users living and posting through fucking unstable times.

Vibe coding broke people's brains because they had a bad understanding of the software design process. The pop culture model goes something like this: start out with a sketch and then render that same idea in progressively finer detail. So when tools could "skip" to high detail, people went WOW.

This is a good principle for design in general: When users tell you there's a problem, they are usually right. When users tell you how to fix it, they are usually wrong. (bonus: if you replace "user" with "stakeholder" this still applies)

Video Game PR folks, if any of your developer clients are working on video games with accessibility considerations for disabled players, reach out to me at [email protected] I'm in the midst of booking games for this year's AA Summer Showcase. Now's the time to get in touch.

Putting this out there - if anyone knows of UX/Product Design openings please reach out. Intrepid Studios closing the way it did left me with a missing paycheck, no severance, no insurance. I’m running off savings in one of the most expensive cities in the US and it’s not gonna last long.

Underline text links. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. #Accessibility #A11y #UI #UX

With the state of *gestures widely* everything, it's been hard to feel much joy. But I am so grateful & honored to be invited to speak at GDC this year, especially as a gamedev who was impacted by layoffs last year. Check out our talk & hit me up for meetups! #GDC schedule.gdconf.com/session/1rea...

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE it will result in dead trans people and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing you see the pipeline right? we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

I mean cmon

please to not give in to despair. if you want to start somewhere you can help, a donation to Doctors Without Borders is a great place to start

I really like that I can once a day open my little Pokémon TCG app, open my two daily booster packs, put my little virtual cards in a virtual binder and share cards with my friends.

"indie devs are the future of the industry" damn that's awesome so when do i get health insurance then

Today is the 2 year anniversary of Pacific Drive's release. I'm also in the thick of refining my GDC talk about it, which I was meant to give last year before I needed emergency surgery, so it's been on my mind a lot lately. Here's a long 🧵. If you'll be at GDC: schedule.gdconf.com/session/paci...

logodecks featured Manabu Sakamoto earlier today, and his collection of playstation logo ideas is 😚👌

Women in the games industry already have to put up with a lot, but we shouldn’t have to do it alone. Men in the industry: if you see one of your fellow men doing behaving this way towards a woman at a professional conference, please speak up and tell them to CUT IT OUT.

in a functioning society ppl would just be able to take a break from making new video games for a couple of years & we could all get together & sort out whatever it is that's happening in the video game industry

Youtube may or may not be back from being down or some major global outage. Now's your chance to reset your algorithm for maximum positivity by watching my show 😁👍 youtu.be/Y4KcKvDer-U?...

In today's episode of AI is ruining the thing you love; Godot could really use some extra funding just to judge if something is slop because they're getting overwhelmed

When the horrors persist but at least you have a new Maintenance Phase episode.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. ”Actually asking people how 'likely' they are to do something is really unreliable, and while it will get you data - it will mean nothing.“

Hire accessibility experts. A lot of us are disabled and so know what we're talking about. Your AI-agent-whatever-bs is trained on myths and inspiration porn.

Anyone who uses job interviews for information to leak to the media is scum. I hope you stub your pinky toe on a table leg every day for the rest of your life.
