Happy Black History Month! It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. These compression gloves are great quality and have helped so many people reduce their hand pain and swelling. It allows them to do things longer! Store: Bibipins.com

I’ve spoken to so many non-male friends recently who have been Going Through It because of *gestures at everything.* I’m going to try and keep sharing support resources. Today, here’s a thread of orgs specifically for and by Black women. 1/

Kids, if you're making a game and want to run it on a steamdeck or switch your text size needs to be bigger no, bigger c'mon coward, bigger! what is this, A GAME FOR ANTS? BIGGER

Tip from a UI Designer: Test in context 👏 Don’t have a Steam Deck? Zoom out on your monitor until it’s approximately the size of one and pretend (put your face closer/further as if you were holding it comfortably) Same deal with a TV 📺 At least chuck an image on there via HDMI and sit on the couch

Todays additions - sort functionality, a-z, release date, price, switched to check boxes so you can select multiple tags to search at once, pagination, responsive results table so it works on mobile, started work on screen reader accessibility and set up a worker proxy for a faster response time.

this temple called my body

I'm very proud of myself, working on a personal project that lets you search and count the amount of games using accessibility tags on Steam. I got the base version working today and I feel like a big lad now for learning how to use API calls.

Pegases nominees are up - congrats to the finalists for best accessibility! Les Murmures du Soleil - @biscuitfactorygames.com Sheepherds - @ultimodisco.bsky.social Wednesdays – @thepixelhunt.bsky.social www.gamesmarket.global/nominees-for...

Top tip from Big Sister Harri Do that crochet, make something, hold a flower, pet an animal, spin on your office chair for 20 mins. Live life and love hard - it is the only guaranteed rebellion against the cavalcade of fuckery in the world, and those who games the system lose when we're happy.

First and foremost, alt text must always be informative and descriptive of the content in the image. It can have character and humor, but it still needs to be informative and descriptive. Alt text is not a place to add easter eggs or jokes for sighted users.

So, you have a logo. I want you to run it through these tests, to see if it's an effective logo, or just a nice illustration. Because I see so many people who reveal logos for their new, exciting thing ... and it's not fit for purpose. And you'll learn that hard way if you don't check.

too many of you guys are entirely too smart to be posting baby pictures of yourself on here when you know these photos are being fed to these ai bots

artists on bsky, don't be afraid to repost your art. there is no shame in it. if you feel shameful for it, that's either learned behavior or secret fake rules you made for yourself. repost it several times a day, for several days. then again a month later. people aren't gonna see it otherwise.

Sadly my position has been made redundant and I'm on the lookout for a new role. If you know of any current or future opportunities that may suit me please let me know. Portfolio linked below: gamesmegan.wordpress.com

Got some hefty 46mg CBD gummies to try and raise my seizure threshold, don't know if it will do that but my ambient pain is better so 🤷

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

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

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.

Truly, the social media ban we need is for the over 60s.

Feeling better after sleeping a lot, still a bit to go before brain is recovered. I was diagnosed with epilepsy as a kid, absolutely terrifying. Having a specialist doctor say to 8yr old me that I was going to die if I had a seizure didn't help 🥲 In fairness I was having them 3 times a week then 🫠

going outside to get the mail and taking cold damage like ough augh ugh ough augh ugh agh ough

Had my first epileptic seizure in 3 years. The things that lowered my threshold? Late nights gaming over the weekend, testing games in development yesterday and two social media videos that had strobing flashes, chromatic aberration and heavy motion blur without warnings.

Check out our binder! It’s the best

The update is interesting but I *beg* store fronts to be consistent, it makes it harder for players and devs alike to understand what the tags mean...

Last week Steam updated their accessibility tags. One name changed to improve clarity, but adopting the name from its Accessible Games Initiative counterpart would be more helpful. Three new tags should be helpful for players to find games they can play. caniplaythat.com/2026/01/26/s...

The UK videogames sector seems to be facing a duality: On one hand, it is trying to convince investors that it's a high-growth, low-risk sector so that it raises financing. On the other hand, it is trying to convince government that it's suffering from market failure, so it receives funding. 1/9
