A countdown for the game "Gears of War: Reloaded" with text saying "Available In: 00 H 43 M 15 S"

Almost time!

An in-game render of Ozzy Osbourne, with the logo for Brutal Legend and text that reads, "Free for the next 666 minutes" and the itch.io logo in the bottom right corner

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend

But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night...

Quote tweeting with Alt Text because on top of trying to hand wave their use of AI, clearly the devs aren't bothered about Accessibility

(Bonus cat picture so I can continue the Alt text)

A purple image with white text which reads: "Li Brady, they/them. Everyone Deserves to be scared: accessibility in horror games". A circular headshot of Li is to the right.

Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI Duolingo is making some AI-focused changes.

I left Duolingo when they set out in this direction. Language is the way humans communicate, and I want to learn from humans, by humans, about humans. AI should have no place in this as far as I'm concerner.

It's been a while, having fun in the new biome with a whole lot of artefacts (only the Dishwashing Elemental is canon to this biome, though!)

I had a fun time playing Fall Guys during the @safeinourworld.org Ambassador Game Night and we even won a couple of games! Thank you @novanathangd.bsky.social for organizing the event.

Me stood in collage green, Bristol holding a sign featuring Sauge from Caravan SandWitch and a slogan reading “Sisterhood not Cis-terhood”

Very tired after a long day, gave a speech about how a lot of the hate reviews for @sandwitchdev.bsky.social didn’t talk about the queer characters, because they don’t recognise realistic queer people, but the flags because it’s all they know of us.

Wednesdays - Safe In Our World From writer Pierre Corbinais (Haven), Wednesdays raises awareness around child sexual abuse via a hopeful story told from many perspectives.

"A great deal of attention was given by the development team towards safeguarding, messaging and empowering players to opt out of any uncomfortable experiences."

Big thanks to ambassador @novanathangd.bsky.social for covering this game. 👏

That was a great Nintendo Direct! I'm certainly looking forward to the new Rhythm Heaven, Tomadachi Life, and Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon Z-A!

What did everyone else think of the direct?

What's everyone's thoughts on Assassin's Creed Shadows? I've been debating about whether to get it or not!

That's incredible! I hope more games start doing things like this!

Oh shit, Assassin's Creed: Shadows has tone tags in its subtitles for non verbal subtext?!?!

Apparently called soemething like "Emotional Indicators"

I have been advocating for game devs to try this as an autism accessibility option for YEARS!!!

I can't believe someone's finally doing it!!!!

Finances are looking really tight due to some unforeseen circumstances so I'm reopening my commissions full time.
