Listen, @burgerbecky.bsky.social is one of the greats. If you can spare anything at all, and you have love for this medium, I can guarantee she's in some way part of the games you love. Please help our industry help her out. www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec...

Attention is currency.

Hey @jay.bsky.team - I am an early user, early enough that being one of the few posters you followed me... I really appreciate the service and I think when crisis has happened before you have ended in a good place but... these? You aren't just replying to that one person, but everyone on here.

some new shots that didn’t make the cut

Wizards of the Coast is hosting a Twitch stream to support Trans Lifeline, a hotline and non-profit organization offering direct support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community. Tune in to twitch.tv/magic on Oct 4th at 10am PT to play games with us and support!

You might think that the mayor of Yellowknife, the capital of Canada's vast Northwest Territories, would be a fan of giant pickups. Nope. He's disgusted by car bloat. www.linkedin.com/posts/benjam...

Hey all, my husband @kevinonthelam.bsky.social found out that he’s going to be laid off next month. 🥺He’s a Staff Character Animator who has been working on The Outer Worlds 2. We’d greatly appreciate any leads that you have, because times are expensive and we have two little boys. 🙏 Thank you!

Great news! JSTOR now have a free account with an Independent Researcher category. You can access 100 documents per month www.jstor.org/action/showL...

I strongly suggest focusing on your neighborhood when it comes to political action/mutual aid because 1. Actual tangible change happens on the local level and 2. If you look at this from a national perspective, if you absorb every evil currently happening on a mass scale, you will fry your brain

Getting to chat with Owlchemy Labs about Cosmonius High, Dimensional Double Shift, and accessibility in VR space was a highlight! We love seeing developers share about what they've learned and how they plan to keep growing accessibility in the space. 🫶🦉

It's shocking to me that spreadsheets don't have an easy way to see what other cells reference a given cell in other formulae.

Huge fan of how thoughtful the team at @owlchemylabs.com is when it comes to accessibility!

I had the pleasure of speaking with @abletoplay.com about some of the exciting #accessibility work the team and I have done for our most recent games. Thank you so much to @tessgrossman.bsky.social for taking the time to highlight our continuing efforts to make VR more accessible!

Accessibility is never "done," but we're proud of the progress we've made. Thanks, @abletoplay.com for sharing our story and shining a light on how we're building VR for everyone! No exceptions. Read the full deep dive: ow.ly/MHXR50X2gAP Join their Discord community: discord.gg/UwM4hamVqW

We're OBSESSED with Dungeons & Disableds! 🥰🤗 It's a fantastic, accessible, and thrilling adventure that's helping make the TTRPG space more inclusive for disabled players. We couldn't be more excited for what's ahead!

It's cool how Slack offers a selection of 13 notification sounds, all of which are deeply annoying and sonically repulsive. Real dedication to the bit.

Are you a disabled player impacted by the recent pricing increases for systems, games, and devices? I'm looking to speak to you for Access Granted!

This gives me immense hope. Researchers have made serious progress towards a universal antiviral vaccine. Peer reviewed, efficacy evaluated vs live viral strains (including Covid), and the data suggests there’s something here. Very hopeful for this. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Settings → Content & Media → Autoplay Videos and Gifs You'll want to set this to "OFF" for the foreseeable future.

so excited to be back on @404media.co with a story about how lofi girl grew from a YouTube channel into a chill beats empire ✨✨✨✨

great advice going around for turning off autoplay videos but might i suggest

SO excited for GAConf, and honored to be a part of it!

Grinded some baking XP today, can't wait to unlock the next level and get a perk.

We grabbed a pencil and notebook and opened the door to Blue Prince (@blueprincegame.bsky.social), starting our search for the elusive 46th room in what's meant to be a 45-room estate. No mystery here—we had a great time, even if some secrets remain unsolved!

Aside from NMS just now dropping arguably the largest update in the game's history, it also has a ton of incredible accessibility options. Ya love to see it 🔥

We partnered with @gamesforchange.bsky.social to present the Accessibility Award at the Games for Change Festival 2025! This year’s winner is Botany Manor (@botanymanor.bsky.social), recognized for making accessibility bloom. 💐🏡

Congrats to @giantsquidstudios.com on the release of the Sword of the Sea! 🏄 With amazing cognitive accessibility like low pressure gameplay, invulnerability mode, review control mapping, save any time, visual directional cues, the game is perfect for anyone looking to surf the dunes on a sword.

i really can't believe how par for the course it is to listen to justified complaints from players, disabled AND abled, about the current issues with accessibility/difficulty and just respond with "well sorry but this game just isn't for you anymore" like that is actually outrageous to me

Knights in Tight Spaces by @groundshatter.bsky.social has TIGHT accessibility! We grabbed our weapons, gathered our coins, chugged our potions, and entered spaces absolutely packed with enemies. Cornered between bookshelves and stools, enemies bursting through the door, we fought our way out! 🤺

Without subtitles every game I’m playing is Confused Edition

If it doesn't have subtitles, I'm not playing 🙅🏽

👌👌👌

Next batch in the journey!

For the first time in my life, I made a round of bread! 😄

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

I have saved my own ass, on multiple occasions, with code comments like... //Hey Alex. Remember this critical bit of information you've probably forgotten by now. YOU'RE WELCOME!!!

Whoa! @arevya.bsky.social made an incredible primer on games accessibility resources, and it's finally out! It's an awesome resource for anyone wanting a quick "lay of the land" in the games accessibility space ✨ Check it out and grab a copy here ⬇️ ko-fi.com/s/18709d94aa
