So in TERRIBLE Nerdfigher form I have only just read @hankgreen.bsky.social 's An Absolutely Remarkable thing and holy fuckballs was that an incredible read. I struggle with fiction reading and maybe do a few books a year. I just read this in 3 days. Literally HOOKED. #AbsolutelyRemarkableThing

@gaconf.bsky.social official merchandise for next year?

Don't talk to me, my son or his south west coastline ever again. @hankgreen.bsky.social @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social petition to start a 'John and Hank in unexpected places' project please. #DFTBA

If you were a video game character, what would your health pick up be? And FYI, those 10-12 plates? All for me. #Cottoms

Hopelessly busy and online-absent as I get into the thickets of PhD work at the moment but we always try to make time for @gaconf.bsky.social ! (spot the @projectforawesome.com tee creeping in 👀) #GAConf #GameAccessibility

Currently vibe coding, but if vibe coding was making coffee in your favourite mug, putting on your favourite chill album and turning off the big light while the birds chirp outside. Channeling REAL vibes.

Pleased to finally be able to reveal my participation at this year's conference! Can't wait to see what everyone else is talking about too. Will you be joining us?

The Game Accessibility Conference @gaconf.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Absolutely blessed to have seen Raye last night. Genuinely might have been the best gig I've ever seen. She and her band are STUPIDLY talented. #Raye

I thought it was a pivotal British experience to have a scrappie come round in a van with a tannoy on it according to some chats with friends this is NOT universal???

Paying homage to @coollike.gay 's P4A segment however by only using the BEST ingredient and 100% less mushy peas. Would recommend. We're counting down to the end of P4A now! Time to smash last year's figure! 🦒 #P4A #ProjectForAwesome

P4A starts NOW! projectforawesome.com/live #P4A2026

Spring has got me feeling soft and colourful, so please enjoy ANOTHER redesign of my website. Complete with some nice flowers and a bit of whimsy: citesandsounds.com

Xbox Research wants to hear from anyone who plays video games! Tell us which settings and accessibility options, like text size adjustments, single-input options, screen readers, you use in our survey! survey.alchemer.com/s3/8671308/X... #Accessibility #GameAccessibility #InclusiveDesign

I guess we're back on Overwatch then... #Overwatch

Found the perfect bathroom to show off #Pizzamas merch #DFTBA

Will be playing guitar and singing for students to record tomorrow in a lectorial... Taking song requests!

Will you be our valentine? Don't forget to add the P4A livestream to your Valentine’s Day plans! Now is the perfect time to start swapping P4A-themed valentines💌 #P4A2026

Alt text all the time, emojis occasionally.

One of the double-edged swords of being neurodivergent and a lecturer is when you passionately teach a topic for 4 hours, but also talk and tangent enthusiastically like it's going out of fashion. Actively taking recommendations for vocal soothing lozenges...

Probably my biggest flex this year. Just need to commit to more prep lol. #Chess

Bristol Patchway station with a nice BSL installation at the moment! An alternative message might have been 'Together we are soaked and fed up of this dreary weather'. Might not fit on the fence, mind. #BSL

Spent the day converting my control mappings to be single inputs only! It was previously clunky and less accessible with a series of dual button presses, taps and holds. Now though, much cleaner, easier to understand, and navigable with single, slower interactions. Success!

Just updated my PhD Unity Project to 6.3 and had exactly 0 errors on upgrading... Should I go and buy a lottery ticket? #Unity #GameDev

A moment of solidarity to all my January birthday friends. At least the sun is out! #29

While chatting to a stranger in a crowd waiting for the Edinburgh cannons to fire, I unknowingly asked an undercover Adam Brody if his son wanted to sit on my shoulders as his were occupied and I'm taller and could see over the crowd My partner was in SHOCK, and I politely had no idea who he was

Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie Please Quote this with your most minor celebrity interaction

Gamer friends, I got a £20 Steam voucher for Christmas (yippee!) What's good? What are your top secret 10/10 picks for a good game? Bonus points if the game has fun/unique customisation, cool magic systems, a nice compelling story or incredible sound design.

Signing off for the festive season and 2025! ⛷️ If you're celebrating it have the most wonderful Christmas! Otherwise, take some time to contemplate and relax, tell your closest people you love them and be a little bit whimsical while the weather is glum. Catch y'all soon! #JingleBells

‪ UK friends who are sole traders/have experience with accountancy for it: how did y'all find/choose an accountant??? There are so many options that all look super familiar...

I tried Gleam for Advent of Code, and I get the hype. AoC was only 12 days this year (24 parts). The easy days were tougher than usual, the hard days were hard but fun. Rust-like compiler errors, pipes everywhere, echo is great, fold_until feels like cheating. blog.tymscar.com/posts/gleama...

I Tried Gleam for Advent of Code, and I Get the Hype

A 12 day Advent of Code year convinced me Gleam is the real deal, thanks to Rust-like errors, great pipes, and surprisingly ergonomic FP.
