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?

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.

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.

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

Something I didn't write but should've:
A no-barking toggle (or Barking audio slider haha) -- because I need to mute any game that has dogs/wolves in it, or else my rescue freaks out and cries and shakes.
It's so specific, but would make my life (and my dog's) so much easier 😅
devs, get on it.

On Global Accessibility Awareness Day (#GAAD) last week, we asked for your go-to accessibility options and settings that you look for when playing a new game.
Here are just a few of your responses. Thanks to everyone who commented!

On PC I look for input remapping first.
My needs are simple, swapping from WASD to QWES, but you would be amazed how many games I skip because even this isn't possible in the game.
There are workarounds, but I'd rather spend my time on more accessible games.

I always look for a way to resize text! My TV is mounted far away from my couch on the wall, and I have poor eyesight so it's quite crucial otherwise I get eye strain very quickly and will quite literally give up on the game.
And remember folks... subtitles are for humans, not ants. 🐜 #GAAD
