10+ year games industry vet here: Do not blame yourself for what is a record-low job market. Majority of people I know (self -included) are doing what they can to make ends meet. Eventually, things will bounce back and get back to normal. Do not take the market as a reflection of yourself.
He has a Guinness world record, has raised over half a million dollars for charity, and runs a successful YouTube channel. You done those things in the last 14 years?
Was a pleasure to host!
Thank you so much for having me! Was awesome being able to host and talk to some cool people about cool things :D
Was an absolute pleasure to talk with you and hope to do so again in the future!
In Flames or Opeth! Likely the latter
I am so excited to go! This will be my first time going in-person.
Made a brand new game prototype the other day that I am really happy with. Looking forward to sharing more in the future!

Unity is expanding support for native screen readers, making it easier for developers to implement screen reader support for blind accessibility on more platforms.

After Android and iOS, starting with Unity 6.3 it supports Windows and MacOS as well.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a great update overall, with accessibility that has improved across the board.

Mouse mode is innovative, but may be tricky to use. The screen reader is a welcome addition we'd love to see more widely supported on the system.

Nintendo Switch 2 accessibility review - Can I Play That?
The Nintendo Switch 2 itself is a great update, with accessibility that has improved compared to the first Switch across the board.

Still not as bad as Sky News basically calling a child a loser for his incredible Tetris achievement.

This game is phenomenal and more people need to know about it.
Maybe they should care more about keeping people’s jobs safe.
Well said. While I definitely intend on continuing in the indie space, we all still have bills to pay so this is tough.
Heart goes out to all affected by the recent Microsoft layoffs. Our industry is broken and needs fixing.
I start hitting my stride on my game project then Steam is like BAM SUMMER SALE! 😆
