Trigger sensitivity caught me off guard.

Went away to answer the door. Came back to continue listening. Accidental double jab.

Tried to show as much of my new @stevesaylor.social tee.
Ben, scruffy brown hair and black framed glasses at an angle, one hand holding the camera, the other in and pulling the neck of the tee, stretching the chest to reveal the graphic that reads: "Stop using tiny text in games" the tiny text part smaller than the rest. On the cuff of the sleeve, a cartoon emoji of Steve.

Highly tempted to get an insight into @topher.io's world by purchasing these diary parts in Fallout 76... 👀

Fallout 76 is fun.

A horrific Furby + Xbox controller hybrid creation. Purple fur with green furry edges and pink furry bumpers. A Furby mouth for the D-Pad. Both sticks replaced with Furby eyes. Haunting.

The moon was nice tonight. (Slightly manually edited for HDR details)
A deep blue twilight sky with thick, soft clouds beneath, and obscuring a rising glowing moon.

Hello to everyone following me!

I'm Ben. Formerly an accessibility-focused video game journo. Now an Associate Production Coordinator: Accessibility at R*.

I chat about video games, accessibility, photography.

Welcome to all the new Bluesky newbs.

I hope you enjoy my skeeting when I skeet.
A warming sunrise paints the sky amber. A solitary wave travels over ripples.

Tiny Glade is wonderful.
An autumnal scene of a home amongst orange trees. Grass is lush, a wooden arch outside with a path leading to the woods. A dark house at night, somewhat a mix of home and church. Large arches below arched windows on the left side, then the right side a curved exterior with a small balcony. Lights inside the home lit green, lamps outside purple. A dirt path ribbons down off frame.

The Scottish haar consistently looks majestic.

I adore it.
The morning sea fog, known as haar, sits atop the sea, Engulfing a bridge. The distant land faintly seen. A sea fog, known as haar, engulfs a road bridge. The sun glows behind, adding a golden hue.

Sharing my blue sky yesterday evening on Bluesky.
A blue sky, with few, small and fluffy clouds painted peachy sunset hues.

Hello new Bluesky folk!

I'm Ben, an Associate Production Coordinator: Accessibility at Rockstar.

I talk about accessibility, I'm Deaf, a music lover, photographer, writer, and enjoy games.

Had a lovely catch up with the ever-growing Video Game Accessibility Coven of Dundee.
From left to right, Bea, Cari, Me, and Searra. We are seated in a pub surrounding a candle in a red glass vase thing.

One of those mornings. Again 🥶
A heavily frozen car. Behind it is clear dark blue morning skies with the faint yellow glow of a soon-to-rise sun.

She mew.
A grey and white cat looks at the camera with attentive eyes. She lays in her bed as snow falls outside in the window behind her.

Winter Beach.

Grateful to be a walk away.
A beach, the low bursting winter sun over the low, cold looking tide.
