I know it's -wild- to link to LinkedIn from here but hear me out, I think @abletoplay.bsky.social is a massive step for accessibility in games and I would love for you to read about it. There's no fundraising or anything here, just a good thing you should know about www.linkedin.com/posts/ramiis...

Mila has been a major part of some incredible accessibility and UX efforts! The folks I have talked to who have worked with her have had only good things to say! If you're a studio thinking you could be doing more for accessibility, hire Mila!

I rarely post here bc I don't want to share the doom and gloom f*ing my brain. But days like yesterday with the @gaconf.bsky.social Awards are priceless. Seeing it grow exponentially every year. The work that @ianhamilton.bsky.social and @tarav.bsky.social do deserves all the awards and more!

Before the awards I got the opportunity to talk with @tomrjourno.bsky.social about accessibility & being nominated. It's really fantastic to see the awards being covered more widely each year - it just goes to show how much accessibility matters and it's impact. 🖤 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
