A groundbreaking 2026 study has found that the overlap between LGBTQ+ people and disabled people is growing at an unprecedented rate, with especially strong correlations among polycules that include at least one disabled member and autistic people rejecting the gender binary.

It has been increasingly disappointing to see him defend AI for a while now, both very tone deaf and unnecessary. But also his vibe coded games and sites. He has great ideas and the funds to hire people to (help) create them, rather he chose not to.

Without my glasses I misread this as "Libertarians deserve the worst", and I support both the actual statement and my misread one equally.

Both my neurospicy deviations and the physical impact of cancer three decades on make speech expensive for me. In person? That works fine enough, if the surroundings are quiet enough. A phone? Difficult to hear and make myself clear. That's why I move most communication to email and text messaging.

Jamie And Lion (aka, SpacedOutSmiles)@jamieandlion.bsky.social · last wk.

‘Expensive’ is such a great word for speech. In many situations I can make words work, but the energy cost can be catastrophic. Places with loud background music or other people talking nearby are good examples. Zoom meeting with audio lag etc.

As a tech creator, how do you expect me to: a) believe you have the knowledge b) respect your experience c) return for other videos When your tutorial or advice includes using AI to look things up. That is and should be your added value. If I didn't want to know something, I'd use AI myself.

The best time to start thinking about and talking about making a website accessible is at the very beginning, before any content or code has been written. But the second best time is right now.

Luckily, those higher up can't snuff out the awareness and intent of developers at every step before, during, and after development. Lots of people are aware of what can be done to make games more accessible, and I'm certain they'll keep doing what they can, no matter their job title or position.

Aside from the folly of wanting to reach a billion players daily, aiming to reach any substantial number of players means you also need to to include people with accessibility needs. A large and ever growing group. Any cuts in accessibility and user research shows it's not about the players at all.

Much like a red card, it should be a disqualification from the next one.

This would be the funniest outcome

Once again terrible news for the game industry. Our thoughts are with all those affected directly today and in the coming year. For disabled players it's particularly concerning to learn of layoffs among accessibility and user research roles, essential to ensure everyone can play (and win).
