I'm in this!! I was interviewed by the WONDERFUL @snakester95.bsky.social on why GenAI in game trailers is a horrible idea and a waste of everyone's time. I ended up having way more to vent about than what's included in this article. So if you want to read more of my thoughts, look at the replies!

Fortnite's Audio Visualizer was an accessible mainstay. In April, Epic removed the crucial feature from Competitive, and in June, heavily nerfed the option in standard. Now, disabled players are left struggling to play. Read my latest @mothership.blog story here: www.mothership.blog/fortnites-au...

Fortnite's audio visualizer is gone, leaving disabled gamers in the lurch

The visual wheel became popular with disabled and non-disabled players

An unexpected beautiful thing post top surgery is that I can now feel and actually see my heart beat

Losing games journalists is as bad as losing devs, we need a strong culture of critique to continue to make better games.

Still three weeks left to get your submissions in! I've already gotten a many responses which is good, but unfortunately they echo what I feared (and sadly expected): Black Game Developers are being hit harder on practically *all* fronts despite making up a smaller portion of the industry.

In my psych appointment for a top surgery referral, they asked about my family and I made a joke about how my brother took it really well and that he’s woke now. Just got the report back and what do you mean my literal medical report says the quote “my brother is woke” omg

Text reads ‘ in regard to family, they told their brother and mother about their plans to undergo chest surgery. Their brother was accepting (“my brother is woke!”) and their mother focused mainly on logistics such as travel.

the saddest thing is when cis people learn Celeste is a "trans game" and feel cheated or like it has lost value to them. What a depressing view of art and the world

Sick time at new game plus, incredibly tired and need that tshirt someone wore about sleep and sleeping and sleeping? My highlights were @waxheadsgame.bsky.social @spellgardengames.com @nostalgicat.bsky.social & Nippets

Monitor showing the game thrifty business. A shop scene in pixel art with bright purple and pink colours. Customers are looking at items on shelves and clothing racks

Monitor showing the game Wax Heads. On the left there’s a customer with pink hair and a tshirt. Next to her is the shop scene with a person flicking through records

Monitor showing the game Museful. There’s a dark gloomy forest background with a cute small character wearing a big pink bow and a dialogue box

Monitor showing the game Nippets. It’s a beach scene with lots of towels laid on the sand and a beach umbrella. There’s what looks like a small pier and a pretty blue sea

It really frustrates me that we continue to nominate and give awards for queer content to big AAA assholes doing the bare minimum with their eyes rolling and lips curled when there are so many queer indies out there putting their hearts on platters that get ignored because they don't have the budget

Acknowledging these award nominations on X, Vávra says that he's "really proud" of receiving both of them, but that he believes the romance was handled "without shoving it down anyone’s throat or trying to re-educate them like so many titles that are rigtfully (sic) called 'woke' these days".

Vávra, who also opened his post with the phrase "TRIGGER WARNING!", also says that despite his game's nominations, he still finds "the abundance of forced “woke” nonsense in the entertainment industry annoying" on a personal level.

Not everything that breaks is technically the fault of vibe coding but the kind of culture that would foster vibe coding is the kind that produces a lot of shit that breaks.

Alongside being on @limitbreak.co.uk committee I’m also getting involved as a mentor for the first time! I’d really like to mentor an early career programmer who is either self taught, a career switcher or from a non traditional route - as there’s not enough of us!

Bristol trans pride march yesterday was emotional and exactly what I needed 💕

We’re back! Apply to be a mentor and make a real tangible difference, they likely need your support more than ever with the absolute state of everything. Even if you don’t think you have much advice to give, I bet you do! Don’t let imposter syndrome trick you out of doing great things
