it's not the greasons yet but I realized this wasnt posted with my art tag yet #roseart

I will be the first to admit I couldn’t understand why anyone would oppose Assisted Dying… and then I became disabled and had it “offered” to me. It’s not compassionate when there’s coercion. It’s not dignified when it’s offered in lieu of care. Listen to disabled people.

Youth transitioners being treated as de facto criminals and deviants

Over the next few days I'll be posting clips of my main video doing a breakdown of #TheGameAwards Accessibility category to help explain why each game was nominated. First up today is #Atomfall youtu.be/QB6gh77RwR4

The BBC is absolutely riddled with small but cumulatively meaningful decisions like this, and once you notice them you can't stop, and it drives you insane.

i started this a few months ago (right after the deltarune hype i think, early july) and nicknamed it "amaranth castle", but i don't think i will finish it. i still think it's cool that sgm and other free/stock stuff have so much versatility (when used right)

Epstein was convicted in 2008. This dump of emails shows him *over a decade later* in constant communication with damn near everyone with any degree of power. There are emails from 2019, 11 years later, over decade later.

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Oh my goodness, there's an actual Accessibility menu in a first party Nintendo game?! I really picked the wrong Direct to skip... It uses the Accessibility stick figure icon and everything!!!

did you know they do this so they don't have to hire disabled people

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.

bitch what

I feel like if you wanted to ban stuff in a way to make people less mentally harmed by the internet, you'd ban infinite scroll algo feeds and autoplay videos. All ages, full stop.

When your social media is not accessible, you risk excluding players. Five quick tips: 1. Provide alt text for images 2. Avoid flashing in videos or gifs 3. Provide subtitles for videos with dialogue 4. Provide videos with audio description 5. Use #camelCase or #PascalCase in your hashtags

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:

new social media discourse: should the regurgitation of the easy mode discourse every half year or so have an easy mode

The game in question is Mega Met! Check it out! sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showc...

I just learned that other Mega Man fan games are adding Toggle Movement to their games as well as other accessibility options I helped designed. I am SO hype about this. The community is learning from each other and our games will only be better because of it. SO AWESOME!

proof of concept

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/

This is a really weird comparison, but putting the sonic 3 "WOO!" or "COME ON!" sample in any kind of sonic or genesis remix in general is the chiptune equivalent of "...hes right behind me isnt he?"

A Star So Bad It's Gonna Take Up a Decent Chunk of a Video Essay Someday

Artists! Show an old piece you still love! This is my oldest idle animation that hasn't been redone at this point, but I still love it!

@thatartisan.bsky.social did you know it's been five months since you last posted spike animation

i like sonic ad knuckles alternate... (original song by @johntayjinf.bsky.social) #vgm

i heavily dislike how accessibility is completely ignored or treated as a joke in some games nowadays. pseudoregalia having only one accessibility feature and it be "give sybil pants" that you then have to equip in the inventory anyway left a bad taste in my mouth still. disabled people play games

i've been thinking a little bit about this story i heard of some FPS where one of the guns was supposedly overpowered, and this didn't make sense to the developers because they could see the underlying numbers and knew it shouldn't be, but the match results did indeed show the gun was overperforming

im trying not to evolve into a crotchety old man, but a week of “deltarune fans keep posting their home address with a spamton over it” is making me long for the ancient days of 2008

None of this is permanent. You're building sand castles anywhere you post.

I forgot about posting. Is it fun

It's impossible to describe what it feels like to be disabled in America right now. I have no words.

absolute dogshit way for disability pride month to start here in the uk. desperately need people to care about this in the way they care about other issues

Generations of Disabled Advocacy are now being forcefully contested. If you're wondering why I've been so quiet, this is it. Everything feels heavier. Everything. I still have so many bright moments and things in my life, but damn, if this isn't a perpetual cloud over everything

A lot of times with folks that work in accessibility, you'll see them gently make the correction of "do you mean availability" when discussing this topic in games. But why does that matter? Here's my breakdown on the unintended impact of accessibility vs. availability ⤵️🔗

Wing Mario Won't Go Over The Rainbow, Because of Woke

It's wild to me is so few people who are not Disabled include Disability in their politics at all. Current proposed cuts are based on 3 baseless zombie ideas 1. There is somehow a 'correct' amount of Disabled people who need support 2. Disability can be precisely measured 3. Spending is too high

new mega man style song dropped y'all

But, the fact that you went through this effort when most devs do not is commendable and super noticed. Things like this will make you game more accessible AND marketable. I am now even more excited I'm following this game, because I know you care about accessibility. 😁

Neapolitan Man from the fangame "Make a Good Mega Man Level 2". I like him since he's this big bruiser who also happens to be themed around ice cream. Character belongs to @mickgalbani.bsky.social #MegaMan #MaGMML
