Heya, it's #HorrorRecommendation o'clock! 👻

Here's 'Burnt Offerings' (1976), featuring Karen Black, Oliver Reed, and Bette Davis (amongst others).

If you like Amityville, The Shining, Legend of Hell House or the ''malevolent/haunted house'' trope... you're in for a nice twisty treat. More below.

Just stumbled upon this gem about the accessibility journey of #CandyCrushSaga! We don't often get insider perspectives from leadership, so I'm grateful that Abigail Rindo (Head of Creative @ King) took the time to have this chat. shout out @neilchughes.bsky.social

The best compliment we could have received this year!

What would have been unthinkable even 5 years ago, is now considered "standard" from us by our audience <3

There is still a ton of work to do to improve the #a11y of our games. Meanwhile, I'm going to savour this milestone over the break
I have no real personal investment in any of the categories this year. I haven't played many new games this year aside from AC Shadows and, while I loved it, I wasn't really rooting for it in accessibility as it was pretty standard for a Ubisoft game accessibility-wise.

Earlier this month, @keywordsstudios.bsky.social joined @netflix.com for their Accessibility in Localization Masterclass in Taiwan, which aimed at making Subtitles for the Deaf and HoH (SDH) more accessible for Traditional Chinese audiences.

Chih-Chung Yung was honored to be co-host of the event.

preach. Also, just... bring back good, beautiful, smart, creative ads that actually make you *feel* something and want to hang them as art posters on your bedroom wall?

Tired of being flooded by billions of AI-generated trash ads.
I want ads to go back to being useful, passive, and unobtrusive image links that are relevant to the website you're on. I don't want a hundred ads on twenty different sites from a store where I already bought the thing.
i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?

Amazing! I’m a huge fan of @makersmakingchange.bsky.social and you should be too.
The GAME Kit is a set of adaptive gaming essentials by @makersmakingchange.bsky.social.

Marijn received a kit with assistive switches and adaptive joysticks for review. While only available in Canada, makers and organizations worldwide can take inspiration from it.

I know, you're sitting there thinking "Damn, why isn't Grant releasing more JOURNALISM?" And the answer to that is SOON! In the meantime, I'm available for work! I cover community and investigative reports, accessibility reviews or previews, or just general disability coverage. JOURNALISM

With the EAA (European Accessibility Act) becoming law in all EU member states on June 28, 2025, it's important that we understand when and how gaming products are impacted.
We've put together a helpful summary on what we know so far.

I don’t know why, but I like to drink milk whenever I’m eating spaghetti (or other tomato-based pasta dishes).

I’ve just always done it. So it’s just how it is.

for example, I eat string cheese by just biting right into the stick

This is so freaking real 😂
More often it's a design director who came in on a Monday morning after playing Elden Ring / Zelda and proclaims to the team that the game is now going to be unique and different by being just like them.

Finally saw #Sinners last night! Highly recommend. Def in my top flicks of 2025, if not the best so far.

Go watch it!

Recently acquired the history of Graphic Design book by Jens Müller. One of my fav bits is the late 1800s German art magazine Jugend. Each cover being widely different in style, colour and vibe. I’m specifically obsessed with the creative typographies. #Taschen

Wishing a happy 10-year anniversary to @shudder.com 🙌🩸

Been subscribed since the first year I think? Sooooo much good stuff, classics and indie gems galore! Especially in the last few years, the catalog has grown SO MUCH.

Not too late to get on the spooky bandwagon 🖤👻

The legal landscape for game accessibility has changed. GPSR requires safety, EAA requires accessible comms & ecommerce. The deadlines are upon us, but many devs remain unaware. If you don't know about these laws yet, you need to! Info:

Propaganda I’m falling for:
– Asking a stranger for their Letterboxd before their number
– Making oddly specific lists no one asked for
– Logging a film the second the end credits hit

Soooooo freaking tired of buying new records that are curved or badly pressed.

Anyone knows which records manufacturers to avoid, and which have a good track record (pun intended) of quality?

Not buying anything new anymore for now, focusing on old records tested by the seller. #Vinyl
