Como no puede fallar cada vez que hay elecciones, antiguas amistades que yo tenía en buena estima están mostrando sus verdaderos colores con mensajes de odio (velado y directo) y bueno, si lo de BioWare no era suficiente ya tengo más cosas por las que hacer duelo hoy.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

Brace yourself for a new era of slop, coming to steam and other storefronts in 2027

The video advertising Unity's ew AI-driven autocomplete game maker has 'Mari' who has a game idea they "always wanted to make" and that idea is "Space Corridor" and it looks like this, and that's the strongest argument I can think of for keeping game dev out of the pro-AI crowd's hands.

Que a Atlántica Wrestling le esté yendo bien me toca las partes adecuadas de mi corazoncito ❤️

Algo estamos a facer ben. Soamente nos falta crear a conta oficial de Bluesky e quizáis poñer un maldito TPV...

Tough but important read. Though accessibility is the responsibility of everyone, without meaningful dedication, things will inevitably fall apart. Grant outlines the new risks introduced by recent Xbox a11y layoffs well here. We need accessibility standards, testing, design reviews and workshops.

Grant Stoner@supercrip1994.bsky.social

With layoffs at Xbox, sources indicate accessibility efforts have also been affected. What was once a champion of accessibility is now a shell of its former self, unsure if accessibility even has a place at the new Xbox. Read my first report for @aftermath.site here: aftermath.site/xbox-layoffs...

God, it looks like a LOT of Accessibility specialists were hit by today's layoffs at Xbox, inclusing some of their most senior accessibility folks. This feels like a REALLY bad sign for accessibility at Xbox going forward. A huge amount of skilled talent being thrown out as part of this "shake up".

Yay! AGI Accessibility Tags are now on some of our ea.com buy pages — more to come later. Long in the making and I am happy this will help our players make better informed purchasing decisions. For deeper details of how our games are accessible, always visit ea.com/accessibility ♿️✨

Wait what @momoxmia.bsky.social there are AGI tags on the EA site?

We're trying to help make Skate. more accessible to disabled users. If you have been struggling to play it in any way, come over here and let us know! 👇

Sure, the game looks impressive. But I can't help but watching this clip and thinking "oh wow, those are going to be some inaccessible controls". And then it gets EVEN WORSE

I am loving this!

Hoy vuelve Biotopía. Realmente nunca se ha ido, porque es una historia que lleva acompañándome desde que hace seis años empecé a imaginar la vida y aventuras de esta comunidad científica, pero tras más de mil días de pausa regresamos por fin con su tercera y última temporada.

Pues hoy fui a ver la peli de Super Mario Galaxy. ¿Os creeríais que había una familia que le cambió el pañal al bebé en plena sala? Con lo que me gusta ir al cine, con lo caro que está, hay que joderse que PARA UNA VEZ QUE VOY

Y cuando le llamamos la atención de decirle “Oye ¿no puedes hacer eso en el baño?” NOS INCREPA que “antes de llamar la atención a la gente deberíamos entender que hay niños con necesidades especiales e historias”??????

¿Os acordáis de cuando las consolas bajaban de precio con los años, en lugar de subir? Qué buenos tiempos, jaja.

No tengo pruebas pero tampoco dudas de que la idea es cultivar FOMO para la nueva generación, y que la gente pase por el aro con un coste desmesurado para el lanzamiento de la PS6

Fuera de coña que este consejito de Benko me cambió la vida también allá en el otro lado y día a día se lo recomiendo a todo el mundo

Estas cosas me hacen mogollón de ilusión 🥲 PD: Haced sofrito y congeladlo en cubitos!

I made this image as a joke but my friends said that it was (mostly) reasonable enough to be taken seriously. So: Indie devs, what does your game need to do for you to see it as a success? Note: except for the top tiers, most of the games shown do not relate to their tier. #indie #gamedev

Bob Morate reposted

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.

🧵👇 Each year I help run a little #gamedev community conference we call GMDC, which has a 10-minute lightning talk format. 2025 featured talks on retention, marketing sound, alt ctrl, accessibility, directing, using git, puzzle design, pixel art, and existential crisis. youtu.be/x41eA2IAizI

¿¿¿¿La cantidad de gente que he visto hacer el trend de "Pídele a la IA que haga una caricatura tuya con lo que sabe de ti y con lo que haces" y su reacción sea "Jaja es clavadito" en lugar de ASUSTARSE MUCHISIMO????

Bob Morate reposted

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."
