What’s up bluesky, 2 weeks ago I had pretty major surgery but I’m doing surprisingly great 🦾 I worked super hard physically to prepare and it paid off. Mississauga has been good to me! I got the most beautiful autumn for the toughest part of my recovery. Time to leave today and it’s rainy af

NEXT WEEK - Grab your tickets!

Me stuck on a train: 🥲 My phone:

X axis/Y axis as an adult is like left and right as a kid for me… I’ve been working in game development for over 10 years at this point and I still have to double check I’m setting or referring to the right axis… EVERY TIME 🥴

Everyone playing the latest games… me: boots up Lies of P finally

Why is Donald Duck trying to fight me?

I’d probably actually get haircuts on time if I wasn’t forced to make a phone call to book an appointment in the year 2025 but here we are and I am SCRUFFY

Only allowing fans access to an album as an album behind a paywall of… wait… buying hair dye??? Is a supremely Hayley Williams thing to do

absolute joy

It’s another Clafoutis! This time we baked one together 😋 @strongbadam.bsky.social

My brain is Nightreign rotted

The cruel thing about summer is it being both clafoutis season and it being 30C indoors

mascot for the 2026 commonwealth games in glasgow is a bisexual unicorn with a traffic cone for a horn

Elden Ring Nightreign is so much my jam in every way. I platinummed it last weekend and I just completed all the lore/story quests (remembrances) for every character. I’ve been on teams that have beaten every boss including the everdark sovereign upgrades (except one 🥲) and it’s just SO good!!

I have covid for the 5th time……. Just fuck this shit. Every day there’s people logging onto social media, Reddit etc. going “nasty summer cold/flu this year!” and then just walking around without testing I’m supposed to have surgery in October… I can’t afford to get long covid again 😞

ADHD is making a post you say you’re going to delete and then remembering you did that 18 days later

lmaooooooo

Doing a thing for a Pride thing

and it's not like trans youth are without agency or strength everywhere, I see young trans people building new ideas of who they are, resisting cis-normativity, fighting for their own rights the least we can do as adults is match their resolve and courage

we need to fight for trans youth on every front through the courts and legislation, by supplying hormones directly, by dispelling the idea of "passing", by showing the rich and valued lives of those who transitioned post-puberty, by celebrating transness we need to help them survive no matter what

On the Amtrak Cascades for the first time in years and I’m SO EXCITED for some good old fashioned comfy train reading time

Testosterone is so powerful… out here offering to move a 20kg bag of rice for an older lady and before I have time to think about if I’ve made a huge mistake I’m lifting it and done moving it for her like it’s literally nothing

Anyway there’s a lot to be excited about too… I’ll probably have the energy and time to play exactly 3 of these games over the next 2 years 😅

Thank god everybody hates that one guy on stage today. I was worried for a second no one else felt completely taken aback… It wasn’t even just his hat… everything he had to say was just toxic af too

Mario Kart World without remapping sets the worst accessibility example for launch titles. It tells others that system level remapping is enough — a fix for incomplete games, not a feature for games to rely on. Games have unique remapping needs, and in-game button prompts must match actual inputs.

live, weird, interactive theatre from disabled, neurodiverse and chronically ill queers the next live performance is on the 15th June and you can watch previous eps online things are rough for trans and disabled folk right now. our art matters. please share post.intrapology.com/about/

It’s nice to be able to pay bills and have any kind of disposable income but I sure do go through periods of missing the freedom and creative sustenance that came from being a full time artist.

HOLY SHIT for the first time in my life I managed to write a long piece of documentation with ZERO passive sentences. Big decade long technical writing achievement unlocked 🫡

I made the mistake of agreeing to write a chapter for a book when I could write at least half a book on the topic, maybe even a whole one… this is more painful than I anticipated 💀

Hit me up if I know you and you’re looking for Nightreign games on PS5!

HAPPY PRIDE :D lol

sick that they're going to let us be gay for an entire month

Fashionably late to the party as always, but platinum Elden Ring bb!

Been having an extreme hard time on a personal level - just feel completely knocked down/defeated… so I’ve been playing a LOT of Elden Ring and … my husband (@strongbadam.bsky.social) keeps referring to me as Malenia Slayer after I beat her last night and there isn’t a sweeter way to hype me up ngl

This waitrose packaging isn’t colourblind accessible so I’m just going to pretend this means the gingerbread man is not bad for me

Yesterday marked 5 years since I started at Ubisoft as the first hire on the accessibility team! It’s also been 10 years since I started in game accessibility and it’s cool that this is now an actual discipline and pretty much everyone has heard of it.

Me to my American husband: the price of Flumps has gone up SO much I couldn’t justify it they’re like £8 for tw- …. My American husband: starts rolling around the room dying of laughter

He really wanted the salmon. He did not get the salmon.

My trip to London is now complete… over hearing a posh older English guy in his 60s (??) talking about “the vibes” Amazing.

This is a bit of a self own for this shitty central London holiday inn 🤣

Amazing to actually feel comfortable and myself at a conference… turns about 50% of my “social anxiety” over the years was dysphoria lmaooooo

Timezones man

It affects MORE than 1 in 3 people. 1 in 3 is just the number of people who likely experience it every time they play! It potentially affects ALL players. No one knows the prevalence of who is experiencing motion sickness at any given moment. For some games it’ll be very high, others lower.

Why am I cursed with people that want to make my life hell by keeping me awake at all hours… what have I DONE Everywhere I go

Ubisoft released a color blind simulation tool today, called UbiChroma. The free and open source tool enables developers to test for color blind accessibility issues in real-time. Fitting existing workflows, it can help catch color blind issues early. caniplaythat.com/2025/04/14/u...

Been kinda intense being back at @gaconf.bsky.social in person for the first time in 6 years… So many new faces, but a bunch of old friends too. Lots of good chats, and the BANTER no one does the bants like the British

Hey London, Thanks

Despite technically still being British I know I’m officially a foreigner when I come back because the double decker busses look so fucken weird man

Can’t believe I’m married… I was so insistent I’d never marry anyone and people were all “oh you never know until you meet the right person” and I’d be all “fuck u u obviously don’t know me.” Never been so happy to be so wrong 🧐
