A note about the TGAs worth remembering as this Future Class story unfolds: it’s a marketing beat, consumer-facing, and voted on by media/influencers. Developers are, by design, not included or considered in the structure. Which feels bad! www.polygon.com/explained/49...

It’s the press and fans, not game devs, who vote on The Game Awards

Hey! So this is huge (for me at least), I'm going to my first GDC and I'm doing a talk!

I and the amazing @jessicaroache.bsky.social will present how to advocate for accessibility on your team! I'll be giving the content creator & disabled player's perspective!

schedule.gdconf.com/session/how-...
A screenshot of the GDC schedule page outlining the talk showing photos of Jessica and myself. This is a long group of text, so feel free to skip if you like. But the text reads: How to Advocate for Accessibility on Your Team: A Toolkit For Developers and Marketing Pros Jessica Roache (Sr. Manager, Global Corporate Communications, Ubisoft) Steve Saylor (Accessibility Consultant, Independent) Pass Type: Festival Pass, Game Changer Pass - Get your pass now! Audience Level: All Track: Culture & Sustainability, Discovery & Marketing Format: Other Share Jessica Roache Steve Saylor Marketing campaigns are about building hype – revealing just enough information to pique fans' interest, while saving key details to share at high-impact brand moments. But gamers with disabilities can't look forward to a game's launch until they know whether or not they'll be able to play it. This conversation between Ubisoft Senior Corporate Communications Manager, Jessica Roache, and Disabled Accessibility Consultant, Steve Saylor, will seek to encourage developers and marketing teams that there are clear benefits to highlighting a game's accessibility early – and creating a successful, inclusive marketing campaign. For teams who haven't yet explored accessibility, this talk will provide actionable advice on how to pitch the business case for accessibility to their leadership. Takeaway Attendees will take away specific next steps on how to be an accessibility advocate and drive real change within their organization, no matter their job title. They'll learn tips to deal with naysayers and improve accessibility in their sphere of influence, from creating an accessible presentation to pushing for an accessibility improvement in-game. Intended Audience The session will be directed toward people at any stage of their career, no prior knowledge needed. Content is most useful for those who work cross-functionally on or with business or marketing teams.

I desperately want to produce more TTRPG content. I have a multitude of ideas I want to do, but I'm not doing this full time and I am only one person. If I dedicate the time needed, it would be the equivilant hours of a full time gig, but it would mean putting everything else to the side.

This is the first I'm hearing about this, that should give you an idea of how The Future Class has been handled. I will say for the record, the person (who I'll keep anonymous) who was Geoff's Future Class liason is absolutely lovely. Everything else outside of her role wasn't given enough support.

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.

The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.
The Game Awards' Future Class program remains on ice
Future Class organizer Emily Weir has informed past honorees that The Game Awards has no active plans for the program.

It's soooo expensive but I NEEDS IT!!

I didn't realize this set would be this huge! 3600 pieces?! It's 300 pieces more than my 1989 Batmobile and only 300 pieces less than my Batcave Shadow Box and I thought those sets were big! But, I do love these kinds of sets, makes the price worthwhile.

Gave Citizen Sleeper another go. Definitely not accessible as it has very small text.

However, this time I played it on my Xbox Ally X and because I can have the screen super close it was at least legible for me to play. I now understand why folks really love it. Totally a fun story driven RPG.

Okay, let's give this multistream a try lol.

I'm playing some #TheOuterWorlds2 on both Twitch and YouTube!

A photo of me looking really excited with my hands together in a praying motion. The background is the artwork of The Outer Worlds 2 with the Moon Man character (a body of a person with the head the shape of the moon wearing a top hat) is standing front and center on an alien planet holding a ray gun. A live logo is on the top right.

Y'all I'm so close to biting the bullet and buying a 3D Printer. This isn't the only reason why I want it, but I've been looking at dice set 3D models and thinking, I could make larger print dice that is also high contrast too. There is a severe lack of that in the TTRPG space right now.

Not fun to wake up to an email from Adobe saying "oh hey your subscription is going to go up to $100/month next month." So I then spend all day trying to learn Davinci Resolve to do the editing gig I do to find out 6 hours later the two key things I need are locked to the paid version. FFS.

Woke up and it still hurts. We were so close. So many opportunities to win by mere inches.

But I don't think we could've played any better. If you nit pick sure there's a few adjustments that could've been made. But it was the best World Series in a long time. I just wish Canada won this one.

This may be because the hurt is still fresh but if anyone of my friends or mutuals make fun of the blue jays for losing I will disown you as a friend period.

I’m already seeing meme jokes thrown around and I don’t appreciate it. They both played well. GG’s.
