Game accessibility tip: Don't refer to your options to reduce flashing etc as an epilepsy friendly mode. Not only is it a really vague name, but these features don't eliminate all risk and players can still have seizures playing your game. Name your feature after what it does (e.g. reduced flashing)

I have just learned that Bluesky has inbuilt mute and block lists. Yeah, I am not going back to twitter

Game accessibility tip: When making a game, it is most cost-efficient to start working on accessibility as soon as possible. Retrofitting accessibility into your nearly finished game is far more expensive and time consuming than building it to be as accessible as possible in the first place.

I am considering posting daily game accessibility tips. I was thinking about doing that on Twitter before Musk took over and now that I am posting on social media again, I might do that here

My "I am on bluesky" post on Twitter was liked pretty much immediately by someone who runs a blog on UFO sightings. Incredible

Also, I am at NZGDC this year, if you see me then feel free to say hi. I don't know how much longer I will be here, I am exhausted today and the thought of playing video games in bed is currently very appealing

This app is looking increasingly viable so I might start actually posting here. Will do the twitter cross follow thing probably tonight and probably never look back

Have now had a brief look around this place and it atm looks much more like what I would want from something like Twitter than Twitter itself. Didn't quite realise just how much bloat that site had until I joined here.
