My god, what is happening to science? www.sciencedirect.com This is so deeply upsetting and troubling! What can we do as scientist to resist AI slop polluting, and ultimately destructing, our fields of study? Please join me in telling @sciencedirect.bsky.social that we do not want this!

I can’t say that I’m surprised but still… it’s a bug FU in the face of employees and the large majority of us plebes 🙄

I really enjoyed my time at #DigitalDragons and was happy to talk about #GameUX as a strategy in the game industry. The talk is now online if you’re interested. Hopefully we can advance #UX maturity in our industry for more efficient #gamedev and more fun & ethical games! 😉 youtu.be/yWfaQ4hfcQE?...

I heard Gotan Project playing in the airport right before I was boarding for Buenos Aires to go to #EVA. Weird as I’ve never heard Gotan Project played in the US before but I’ll take it as a good sign ☺️. Btw it would be fun to take a tango class while in Buenos Aires if anyone has tips 😉.

My #GameUX masterclass in #BuenosAires is on Nov 4! You can still sign up for a full day of learning about cognitive science, & #UX practices & framework that I've been using with #gamedev (incl. on Fortnite) that covers how to make a game both usable and engaging. ☺️ app.tikzet.com/events/maste...

Pensando en mis amigas y amigos de Argentina hoy. Espero que los resultados de las elecciones sean buenos. 🤞🏼

Wait?! 13 years since @lucasartsmemory.bsky.social was closed and we were all laid off? Damn… time flies. Very selfishly I wish that George Lucas would have waited a few more years before selling to Disney, so that #SW1313 would have been the last game shipped by LucasArts. 😔

Ok this is starting to drive me nuts: how the hell can I disable autodubbing on the non-English youtube videos I watch? It’s a great feature for a lot of people but I don’t want it when I actually speak the non-English language thank you very much 🤬 #ux

I wonder what @astrokatie.com thinks about this..

Via Ubisoft, j'organise une game jam sur un thème d'impact social. Cela débutera le 17 novembre, sur 10 jours pour gérer son temps tranquille. Join the Volunteer Week Game Jam: forms.office.com/r/QGB9CWwz0u Et si ça vous parle, partagez cela auprès des vôtres svp. Je gère ça quasi solo

Thank you so much, April. We’d like to write an update too—so much has happened in a mere five years—but I think we have to tackle the bullshit machines first.

Kudos to @aeromexico.bsky.social staff for letting me seamlessly opt out of facial recognition during the boarding process. 🙏🏼 (Of course, ideally you would not use facial recognition to begin with 😉) #dataprivacy #ethics

Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog. Patients with brain fog may have disrupted AMPA receptor (AMPAR) expression—key molecules for memory and learning. Imaging of Long COVID patients showed elevated AMPAR density tied to more severe cognitive impairment.

Such a beautiful voice that goes out. I will miss her guidance.

If find Jane Goodall’s passing particularly sad. What an amazing woman and role model she was. May many of us have her strength, courage, and determination to make this world a better place for all, animals and humans. 🖤 www.npr.org/2025/10/01/4...

#Darkpatterns (deceptive design) is not only anti-UX, it can also cost your company a lot of money. #ux #ethics www.ftc.gov/news-events/...

This is catastrophic. Many of my #gamedev friends working in the US are concerned by this decision.. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

'Sensitivity reading' is not about forcing DEI, censorship, judging, or woke/broke. It is about immersion, being memorable, avoiding backlash, and a virtuous cycle. It is about creating quality content. Like you would with historical projects.

First session of the afternoon at the #GameUXsummit: Colleen Macklin and Ben Van Buren, coming all the way from New York City (Parsons School of Design)! They talk about “Perception in Virtual Worlds: Psychology and design students collaborate to study user experience in videogames”.
