Below are some game accessibility resources ⬇️

1. Game Accessibility Guidelines: gameaccessibilityguidelines.com

2. Xbox Accessibility Guidelines: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming...

3. Accessible Games Initiative: accessiblegames.com

4. SpecialEffect Devkit: specialeffectdevkit.info

Per @ianhamilton.bsky.social — there is a talk that promotes using WCAG for game accessibility. This is an incredibly dangerous sentiment. Those guidelines are not created with video games in mind and are instead oriented to solve web accessibility solutions. Saying otherwise is misinformation.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

I've been issued a court summons from a debt collector seeking repayment for medical debt dating back to 2022, before I was laid off from my last FT job. The required repayment plan is very aggressive (TOO aggressive), so I'm asking for help. Shares appreciated! 🫶

14) An Autobiography - Angela Y. Davis

📚 Finished? ✅

This book taught me a lot. A remarkable life of a remarkable woman, and it only covers her younger years. If you’re unfamiliar with Angela Davis and her work as an anti-racism activist, this is an excellent place to start. Powerful as hell.

13) Dirty Pretty Things - Michael Faudet

📚 Finished? Regrettably, yes

This might be the worst erotic poetry I’ve ever read, and if I never read the word ‘panties’ in creative literature again, I’ll be profoundly grateful. It’s not often I’m so blunt, but this was just bad. Not a fan.

wow, a rare depiction of the coolest guy who ever lived.

✨ the game preservation gods are blessing us ✨

game preservation - any media preservation - is so important and I’m really, really glad this step is being taken.

I had hoped things would be markedly better in 2026 but it’s March and we’re sliding backwards. I’m so tired. I can barely look after myself let alone another person with severe mental health needs.

I wanted to be able to move out, but that’s not happening. I feel like I’m drowning.

a thing they never tell you about being a 24/7 carer while disabled yourself is that everything important seems to slip through your fingers & pass you by while you scramble to keep on top of things every single day

if you’ve been waiting on me for a reply, a task, an email, anything, I’m so sorry.

I'm in the midst of booking games for this year's AA Summer Showcase. Now's the time to get in touch.

Thor's Helmet, taken from my balcony

Thor’s Helmet (NGC 2359) is an emission nebula in the Canis Major region, visible only for a short period during the winter season. It also remains quite low on the horizon, right in the middle of the light-pollution belt. These are nearly 21 hours of integrated exposure. 🔭

Hey. Psst. Y’all are rad. Hydrate your skeletons. Take your meds. Check your posture. Have a snack.

Whatever you need to do today/tonight, I believe in you. No matter how big or small it may be. I hope the week brings joy, relief, laughter, success, coziness. You got this.

11) Things We Say In The Dark - Kirsty Logan

📚 Finished? ✅

This is a suitably horror-filled collection of dark short stories, and each one left me with lingering unease in the best way. I always enjoy Kirsty Logan’s stories, and this collection was eerie as hell. Big thumbs up.
