Hiya and happy #portfolioday!

Top left icon is a pen, top right is a potion, bottom left is a slingshot, and bottom right is a sword Game HUD screen with a pop-up that says "you've equipped [item]!" and X continue. The Hud has a purple marbled boarder The title screen of a game that reads "Fairytale Gothic" there is a purple gradient background and the silhouette of some mountains and a tower. In the bottom right of the screen text reads "New Game", "Continue," and "Settings", New Game appears to be selected Item card for a mana potion.

Changing the narrative on suicide requires systemic change, shifting from a culture of silence & stigma to one of openness, understanding, & support.

For #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, we're sharing resources for anyone who needs them. If you or someone you know is struggling, there is help available.
A blue background. The top two thirds appears to be in a large speech bubble. Text inside reads "World Suicide Prevention Day. 10 September." Beneath the bubble is the logo for the International Association for Suicide Prevention, their website (www.IASP.info/WSPD), and a World Suicide Prevention Day orange and yellow ribbon.

to the game devs that may see this: please give us the option to turn off motion blur as I'm sure there are people like me who cannot play a game with motion blur as it makes me feel sick and not having the option is a super bad feeling

We first reported on Steam's accessibility tags in April, when it was available for developers to add to their games.

Now, Steam users can filter their search results by accessibility features. The tagged features are also visible on a game's store page.

It's time to PONDER fellas!
Redraw of the "Pondering my Orb" meme (featuring the art of illustrator Angus Mcbride for Middle-Earth Quest: A Spy In Isengard, a role-playing game based on The Lord of the Rings from the 80s.) The redraw features Crow Time characters looking at a blue shining orb.

Given recent conversations in the industry, I wanted to highlight some amazing organizations, resources, and community-driven groups working hard to advance accessibility in gaming. There’s a lot of great work happening — and it deserves more visibility.

One of my mentorship fellows @percivalkish.bsky.social pitched their capstone project: Accessibility Dungeons. A ttrpg dungeon crawler where making the dungeon more accessible (via IRL accessible design) is how you escape!

Note taking for games is something I've been fascinated with for a long time, both as a copious note taker irl, and a UX professional who has worked at studios making video games inspired by their more note heavy tabletop RPG cousins.
