I have been playing Ghost of Yotie non stop after work. Feels so good to be back in that world, and explore the new stories. Excellent work!

Attempt three. This one had less salt and a tighter structure. I still think I can do better, but it cut cleanly and has a nice bounce to the bread (good structure)

My sister mailed me a new hat. Do you think I could make this work as formal wear? Or is this business casual?

Okay attempt number two turned out way better. I got the cold proofing down and the folding and shaping dialed in. This looks yum!

If you are in the accessibility space you likely know that the EAA is rolling out and will likely impact any game with communication or micro transactions. Get ahead of this and make your games more accessible today. igda-gasig.org/what-and-why...

So glad that the Access Controller is opening up more ways to play the previous titles. The importance of developing accessibility in games is highlighted more today than ever. We should all be developing accessibility into the base games however, since accessibility by design is more approachable.
I’m a disabled player finally playing God of War III. I remastered on PS5 thanks to the Access Controller. I couldn’t play when it first came out due to lack of accessibility.

To all my friends and former coworkers who are impacted by the massive layoffs... stay strong, stay positive, and be supportive.
You are valuable, you are talented, you are worth it.
Hold each other up, respect each other, and lend a hand whenever you can.
We are stronger TOGETHER.

Not only is Sinners a good movie, it will now have a BASL version. Really like that there are more movies with Sign Language versions being released. #accessibility

Sinners will hit Max with a version translated into Black American Sign Language
When Sinners becomes available to stream on Max, it will be alongside a new version of the film interpreted in BASL.

Expedition 33 is exceeding my expectations in every way. I am 2/3 of the way through and loving every min. It is shocking and emotional, tragic yet joyful, hopeless but hopeful, overwhelming and yet personal... This is some incredible story telling.

Having a great evening playing some Cthulhu boardgames with friends. We might lose all of our sanity points soon but at least we will do so together

Strangely, this is the product of eight months of rooting around and only really half the story of what's going on. But for @theverge.com, I dug into the current accessibility slowdown, specifically how industry collapse is impacting progress. Big thanks to @andrewrweb.bsky.social for taking it in.
