This Friday. @thewobblygamer.bsky.social finally understands the difference between Silent Hill and Resident Evil. Join us as we look at the accessibility of Silent Hill #TownFall. www.twitch.tv/manycatsstud...

Monday. A big bag of no.

Channel 4 has done (soon to air) a show called The Experiment. I will watch but already there's an undertone of this is just for ableist to go "well, I'd never be thatttt bad". And secretly agree disabled folk need 'sorting'. Are you going to watch it?

I would have liked to worked on a Mass Effect or Dragon Age. 😩 Lets work on a spiritual successor then?

The industry is very wrong when at work we chatted about people laid off and seeing months as "no time at all" for not finding work yet. 💀

A great Northern games event! Thanks to @gamerepublic.bsky.social for creating/running/hosting the amazing New Horizons event in Middlesbrough! Looking forward to next year's already. 😺

The NextFest hasn't started yet, but Half Grip is already my game of the show. First person combat racing in which steering, shifting, aiming and reloading are all done via a single hand, controlled by your mouse. It's SO DAMN GOOD!!!! store.steampowered.com/app/4163270/...

Noticed a small cool thing at work. Not Mathew. A thing that makes Harri cry. Again, not Mathew.

People of this side of world. Remember @gaconf.bsky.social talks are pretty much released for free online, straight after the conference. So don't worry if you can't make it because of the timezone. 🫡 #accessibility

Another networking session with this year's Impact cohort. Amazing to hear about their work and what they are achieving.

Dawnwalker added more accessibility with latest update. The subtitles needed some TLC.

Up in Boro, connected with Eagle Labs as a disabled business owner. I never do that enough. 🙃

That picture of me is not edited, thats how I look before my fibro meds!

The main aim is to scare @thewobblygamer.bsky.social

Halloween Special! This month join us as we examine Silent Hill Townfall for accessibility on Fri 30th Oct. Follow our Twitch to stay updated - www.twitch.tv/manycatsstud...

Some spooky plans for this month's Community Day... Find out this afternoon (UK time) the games we are bringing.

Not overly impressed with the new DLC for Two Point Museum. I'm biased against theme parks as I worked in one, one summer. Where's the British-ness of theme parks in this DLC? 😞

I believe @topher.io knows something of Bird Law.

The speed of English village coffee places makes me irrational mad. (They slow) This is what living in London does to people.

The morning call was basically pitching a comedy sitcom of Mat and Cammy Bear as airport baggage handlers called Plane Sailing. XBOX TV arm, yours to fund with me and Harri as the writers.

Was fully prepared for @krismcgee.bsky.social Traitors spoilers. And he posts nothing. 🤣

I'm a simple boss. I just want to hire an accessibility person called Bruno so I can plague Mat by singing We Don't Talk About Bruno at him.

Been really enjoying playing Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. An accessibility thought I had while playing - I can't name another AAA budget kids / family game that supports audio described cutscenes and high contrast mode. Some indie examples for sure, but very little in AAA.

Off to London for Ukie meeting. First time going to this so I better be wow'ed or I'll annoy @geekybaking.bsky.social at work. 😆

An Accessibility Cat vs 'What Most Industry Think Is An Accessibility Cat'. My cats always win. 😏

It's October 3rd.

@thewobblygamer.bsky.social was in his safe space showing accessibility in FC27. youtube.com/shorts/pROm9...

Last month was looking at new release FC27. Interesting to look at an annual game for it's accessibility! @easportsfcde.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/pROm9...

Why do “PDF remediation specialists” constantly target accessibility specialists on LinkedIn? Surely we’re the least likely people to need that? In other news, are there any electricians on here, who would like to pay for my new plug rewiring service?

Properly looking at agenda / talks at @gamerepublic.bsky.social New Horizons event in couple weeks. So many good options, I'll have to split myself in 3 to attend it all. 😆

My DLC pitch for Two Point Museum. War museums! And not like real world horror, but play into the puns of 'War of Roses' of country's history. Two rival gardening places wanting to have a very best British Flower Show. Come on, you know it works @twopointstudios.bsky.social 🌹

Game Nights are never safe. Want to join in? Join the Discord. discord.gg/5vvBR4hYS youtube.com/shorts/_oQ_a...

Chris does take his rage out on staff in healthy ways... youtube.com/shorts/r1jiF...

Landlord pooping himself. Mat pooping himself. Who is next in my life to get this curse going across the land??

Both @thewobblygamer.bsky.social and @hfrayling.com learnt a lesson.

Full lineup announced! 📢 The full schedule for GAConf USA 2026 is now live, including lots of previously unannounced talks! gaconf.com/schedule Oct 19th - 20th, online, FREE registration at gaconf.com #gamedev #indiedev

Streaming "Stunt Boost" and the devs at @bytinggames.com not only added a One Handed mode using the mouse so I can play while I recover from surgery, but they also added a Battle Athlete skateboard skin in the game featuring art from my best friend @dsloogs.com

Oh hey artists, is this YOU? LMK 🌱

Walking to York. Should get bus or drive but global warming gave an unnatural warm day to enjoy.
