Thank you everyone! Advocating for accessibility is often a hard and emotionally draining job. We often remember the features that got cut and forget the progress we make. The GA Conf awards is an amazing opportunity to celebrate the games and the people who make accessible games possible.

The winner for Most Dedicated Studio at the 2025 GAConf Accessibility Awards is.. @rare.co.uk ! Info on all the finalists & winners: www.gaconf.com/gaconf-award...

If any disabled worker is impacted by this decision, please feel free to send me a message or email. I can absolutely assure anonymity.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

One final report from me before the holiday – I spoke with disabled players who noted this year's Game Awards caused seizure-like symptoms and migraines. Some reveals like Divinity caused approximately four hours of pain. Read more here: accessgranted.ghost.io/live-perform...

I would really like a job! Someone hire me to be a journalist or marketer for you!

For a report for Access Granted, I'm looking to speak with accessibility consultants who HAVEN'T been credited for the games they've worked on. I'm aware of this impacting future opportunities, so I can assure anonymity. Feel free to send me a message if you wish to speak about your experiences!

you guys get credits

Now that I have my own newsletter, if anyone has any tips or leads that you want me to explore with accessibility or disability, feel free to send me an email or message me on here! And as always, if you enjoy my work, please consider subscribing!

Hey, with more sites cutting budgets or closing down outright, it's harder and harder to find places supporting excellent accessibility reporting. AND YET we have the incredible Grant doing the work right here!! Which you could support if you so chose!

been anticipating this review

The ROG Xbox Ally X has moments of accessibility brilliance. Yet, for physically disabled players, its overall layout and price create insurmountable inaccessible barriers. Read my review on Access Granted here: accessgranted.ghost.io/rog-xbox-all...

With the continuous rise of prices for games, systems, and tech, and as companies like Xbox announce further increases for services like Game Pass, some disabled individuals are choosing to forgo AAA gaming altogether. Read my latest Access Granted report here: accessgranted.ghost.io/as-prices-in...

One final share for the weekend – Silksong's difficulty should not be the main accessibility critique. Conversations about it are only diminishing real inaccessible barriers. Read my latest Access Designed here:

got left alone for two hours and naturally enrolled in a short harvard course

For six years, I've had the privilege to publish countless reviews, features, and investigative pieces across numerous publications. I love what I do, and I think it's time to start a new venture. Welcome to the first post of my new newsletter, Access Granted. accessgranted.ghost.io/welcome-to/

big day for the grant stoner fan club

It’s fascinating to think about how disability focused narratives could possibly use inaccessibility to craft a more immersive world

don’t worry everyone i have taught @supercrip1994.bsky.social the words to gnarly by katseye

went to greece just to point at random things and say i’d been there in assassin’s creed

can’t believe they finally found ME/CFS to have genetic differences and indicators, if i ever hear the words ‘lightening process’ or ‘graded exercise therapy’ again it’s on sight

I've never been so supported, held, fully understood and enabled to be my true self within a relationship. I've also never had a relationship propel me to grow, heal and expand in such a delicately beautiful way. To many more years ♥️♥️♥️

Props to my local pharmacist today who let me know about being able to pay yearly up front for my prescriptions, saving me 2/3rds of the cost. I don't get free medication but prepaying is SO much cheaper! The link for those who might not know is www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/help-nhs-pre...

My time with Ubisoft has closed, and I'm looking for new full-time work! I have game accessibility experience from indies to AAA. Looking to make your games accessible for disabled players while honoring your creative goals? please reach out! linktr.ee/clintonlexa (Signal boosts appreciated!)

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

Thank you for having us! Make sure to catch our talk on youtube if you missed it and donate to NWU!🤍

📣DISABILITY PRIDE STREAM SCHEDULE📣 Our final event of our Disability Pride program is THIS SATURDAY! ⏰26th JULY | 5:30pm BST! See you there, and make sure to follow our Twitch channel to tune in! twitch.tv/NothingWitho...

you know the cat selection system? I have the bird version of that I end up with so many birds around me it’s getting like a hitchcock film (i’ve never watched a hitchcock film)

As part of our front page stream tomorrow, we are running our year-round fundraiser to enable us to operate all year round and send more disabled devs and creators to events! If you want to help us continue our work, you can do so here: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

I’m really good at forgetting that I have post exertional malaise and my body does not like doing things! which is really rude because i LOVE doing things! all of the things!

it does not matter how good you make your game’s block/parry system; I will not use it. My defense is “punch more.” I cannot be taught

shoutout to my partner for reining me in every time i tell him that i regret being too kind in response to other’s mistreatment, and always promptly reminding me of my values (kindness) (boring)

I know I've spoken about this multiple times, but you have to understand, I'm TERRIFIED. And no one seems to be talking about this aside from disabled people. We just feel so alone

THIS is my biggest fear – Yes, I'll still have Medicaid, but I worry it will be a shell of its former self. If they restrict hours for my nurses or drastically cut their pay, where do I go from there?

"Reductions could come in several forms. States could place further restrictions on who qualifies for coverage, cover fewer hours of care or lower pay for home health workers. Or they could eliminate waiver programs altogether."

A new Access Designed is up! For me, the Switch 2 is by far the most accessible Nintendo system. Read my thoughts on @ign.com here: www.ign.com/articles/swi...

Just rolled credits on Split Fiction with @p0ppyfield.com! Honestly surprised by how much I thoroughly enjoyed this game! Accessibility could be better, but overall, a fantastic experience. This also marks my third completed game for this year! Here's hoping I can beat nine more by the new year.

Incredibly grateful I was able to share my thoughts on disability culture and disability reporting with @aftermath.site!

Very excited and grateful to be joining @aftermath.site's stream to talk about Disability Pride Month!

Disabled people are 11 times more likely to die during labor/in the postpartum period than non-disabled people. Better education and smashing ableism is how we get out of this horrible stat. For the past year, I’ve been looking into the topic of disability and pregnancy for @motherjones.com 🧵

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-...

There are many British commentators who have made several posts showing deep concern for Rachel Reeves over the last 24 hours but apparently lost their phones whilst hundreds of thousands of disabled people were terrified of losing the benefits they need to live.

📣TALK ANNOUNCEMENT📣 Anthony and Kenna are here to deliver "Don't Wait For It, Create It!", all about the incredible Overjoyed accessible controller, a digital controller to make gaming more accessible! Tune in at 5:30pm BST THIS SATURDAY: twitch.tv/NothingWitho...
