I figure an introduction might be in order! 👋🏽 Hey there, I'm Arman. Earlier in life I kicked cancer's ass, used to build tech at Google, and went on to make games.
Now I run a studio focused on accessibility! We're building a new way to find accessible games called @abletoplay.bsky.social 🧡

Hi folks, this is again a plea for help. There still is no cleared donor. People working through the system but again-if you're at all interested in trying to help, it takes months to get cleared as a donor. There's a lot of delays/appointments.
So please consider and spread it around, thank you.
So please consider and spread it around, thank you.
I am afraid I have absolutely terrible news. I need a lot of help now, from everyone. I currently have NO CLEARED DONOR for transplant and we only have a short period of time to get this done. Please SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE AND PLEASE TRY TO DONATE!
