Hey y'all, I'm a Black narrative designer, writer, editor & consultant who was impacted by layoffs last year. I'm available for immediate work in comics, books and games! Website: www.jayjustice.net LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jay-justi... Direct Support: ko-fi.com/thatjayjustice

Forgot to post this earlier, but I've got a bonus video today covering a few updates, and the GAConf Awards: https://youtu.be/klose0cm6JE?si=aA1iwNHijTSlFLnH

If you want to see how UI text size and contrast scaling can be done across a game's UI, up to TRULY HUGE SIZES and high contrast, alongside a whole host of other great options and design, you will struggle to find better than Atomfall. This is well earned, congratulations Rebellion!

I will write something proper somewhere but the emetophobia toggle is SO special to me I can’t thank the team enough for their support on getting this set up 🥺 and to know this was on the list makes little me (and current me!) so happy 🥺💗 #gaconf #seaofthieves

And that's a wrap for the 2025 GAConf Awards, congrats to all of the winners! Info on all the finalists & winners: www.gaconf.com/gaconf-award...

EXTREMELY WELL DESERVED!!!

An enormous amount of work and effort went into this - I’m so incredibly proud and humbled 🖤 To me there are so many puzzle pieces that make up holistic accessibility, and one of those is actually informing players how your game can support them. More accessibility trailers please! 👏

Just how many games there were across all these award categories and the fact a AA category was viable just proves how much work studios are doing for accessibility! Huge congratulations to everyone, and yes this has made my year a little bit 😅🖤

This makes me happy in all sorts of ways. 🥹

Excellent news, well deserved.

You deserve to be celebrated! It’s so nice to get a break from all the stress and hard times to celebrate each other.

@gaconf.bsky.social I cannot believe I won 😭❤️ Thank you so much everyone!

Here is to another amazing year! Congrats to all the winners! ✨

What an amazing line-up! And these are just the winners. All the games, publishers, studios, people, and their work nominated are worthy of your time (and not just because I was a nominee 😅).

Congrats @rare.co.uk! Working with these folks was always the best - @topher.io and the crew did great work. Helping game teams with accessibility, I'm often building foundations, but with Rare, it was about helping maintain maximum speed and discovering new places off the map. 💖

The @gaconf.bsky.social 2025 Accessibility awards show just went live on Youtube earlier today. Tune in to see all the great work people are doing to make games accessible to all - and the ASL translation is performed by yours truly! = ) www.youtube.com/watch?v=beWF...

A major team effort by everyone on the accessibility team and our many champions at EA. Congrats everyone 🙂

standing on the shoulders of giants here

Love @gaconf.bsky.social bringing the Awards again for another year. We have to celebrate the wins loudly as the rest of the industry still needs teaching.

Holy, I cannot believe this actually happened! I won?! Thank you everyone! I have had one of the hardest year in 2025, but the focus on accessibility, something so much more important in the big scheme of things, have kept me afloat and happy <3 But I'm standing on shoulders of giants

It's such an amazing honor to see the games teams' (and our!) efforts to be recognized in such a way. And with such an amazing competition, too! I bet it was a really close call! Congratulations to all winners! ❤️

And that's a wrap for the 2025 GAConf Awards, congrats to all of the winners! Info on all the finalists & winners: www.gaconf.com/gaconf-award...

Hello hello! For Access Granted, I'm looking to speak with disabled couples on how they play games. How do you and your partner(s) play with your disabilities? What games/accessibility tools are best for you and your partner(s)?

I'm honored to be presenting the Game Accessibility Conference award for best cognitive accessibility. The awards start soon at 10:00 PT so be sure to tune in! #GameA11y #GaConfAwards #GameAccessibility #GaConfAwards25 #CogDis

HUGE congrats to @black1976.bsky.social for winning the Best Journalism award!!! Absolutely well-deserved! Also, selfishly speaking, I'm FINALLY FREE! Somebody else won the award!!

The GA Conf Gaming Accessibility Awards 25 winner broadcast is happening today. I'll be watching live to find out the winners (including finding out if I won either award I was nominated for this year). Live now! www.twitch.tv/laurakbuzz

Huge congrats to @arevya.bsky.social!!!!!!!!!

A HUGE congrats to @lissanna.bsky.social for winning the GAConf Award's MVP Award for Unsung Hero! I've had the pleasure of working with and meeting Elisabeth on many occasions and can wholeheartedly agree the award is WELL deserved. Keep kicking ass Elisabeth 💙

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.

Thank you so much @gaconf.bsky.social 🐭!!!

I won an GAConf Accessibility Award with Art of Fauna!!! 😱😱😱

First of all, thank you so much to everyone for this award. I was happy with the nomination, so you can't imagine how I feel right now 😊. Everyone who was nominated alongside me was equally deserving, and it's an honor to be among them. Thank you so much.

Congratulations EA Sports FC26!! ,

honored to have worked on this game with lots of other amazing people! huge cograts to this team for their ongoing accessibility work!

Huge congrats!

Very well deserved! So many people have worked so hard to get EA here ❤️
