Games do have incredible power: to entertain, comfort, educate, bring people together, and even heal, both physically and mentally.

Thank you @pocketgamerbiz.bsky.social for this article! ✨

I truly do believe that there's far more people on the side of inclusion than against it, and that gives me hope.

We recorded a new @konsolifin.net podcast episode with a dear friend, games industry legend and guest of honor @davidbfox.com, and always wonderful @nikender.bsky.social! 🫶

Didn’t have a functioning webcam so here’s my ✨hey hi hello✨ photo greeting to make that up!
Tarja wearing Garfield beanie and smiling at the camera. She wears glasses too, and there’s a text “hello” as a sticker in the image. On the walk behind here are a guitar, sword, Skyrim, DnD and Back to the Future posters. David B Fox and Tarja in a Discord call. Tarja’s camera isn’t on. Niko is there too put the image clips so that we can’t see him.

It's #PortfolioDay and I'm a senior environment artist of 11 years now

I'm currently available for employment and freelance opportunities.

I consider myself an all rounder but I love to work in foliage

Alruna: End of History on Steam
Alruna; now in wide-screen! A different kind of Metroidvania, a tour-de-force of game design, with world-class temples and dungeons. Dead men yearn for Heaven, but Elysium remains out of their grasp.

Again, if you're a games publisher/investor scout (or do scout work for relevant funding sources), let me know.

It felt near cathartic to share with Grant how being disabled affects my everyday (games) spending. People don’t often understand how much it costs to have health struggles.

Thanks @supercrip1994.bsky.social for doing important reporting. Cool read, as always!

With the continuous rise of prices for games, systems, and tech, and as companies like Xbox announce further increases for services like Game Pass, some disabled individuals are choosing to forgo AAA gaming altogether. Read my latest Access Granted report here:
