This week on AA I learn seven video game specific BSL signs. Come learn why this glossary is important, and maybe learn some BSL signs with me.

Yeah, Ubisoft definately is U and the ubisoft logo blooming, and Nintendo is N and the logo oval shape. I personally really like the Joycon being inserted for Switch.

for clarity this is not officially "coming from sony", the creator just happens to also work at PlayStation. He's Deaf, and this is an outside of work passion project of his own.

But yeah, really glad to see this being worked on :D

If you're in the UK gaming accessibility space, the BSL Gaming Glossary is a really awesome resource to keep an eye on.

If you can BSL Finger Spell a lot of the terms so far on the glossary are going to be really easy and intuative to learn, and be memorable if you've got existing gaming knowledge.

The bBlack Parade was 100% written there, even if Sleep is the only track that has artifacts from that period RE the night terrors recordings

This story's got it all - An album recorded in a haunted house, illicit trading of scrapped music, me playing tambourine with Gerard Way, conspiracy theories that one artist repurposed a lost song for another project, and comparisons between a children's TV song and a track about an atomic bomb.

On the third export and upload I got YouTube to approve my MCR video!

It can't be monetised, but it'll be publishable!

Kiryu spent a sdecade in prison for a murder he didn't commit. Will his sworn brother still be chill?

We'll be publishing our full report from the hearing tomorrow afternoon (UK time), but needless to say, there's an awful lot of additional context to understand about what happened here.

This is a really tough outcome for the union's members, especially those who were in the UK on work visas.
BREAKING: A UK judge has *denied* interim pay to the 31 employees fired by Rockstar Games last year, saying she "was unable to conclude that it appears likely that the tribunal will find that the principal reason for the claimantsโ€™ dismissal" was union organizing www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Fired Rockstar Employees Denied Pay by UK Judge
The 31 staffers argued they were dismissed for unionizing. Rockstar said they were fired for leaking information in an online chat group.

Recording Thurs or Fri next week. No idea how long it'll take to edit into something reasonable, but if people enjoy it there's no end to how many of that series I could make :P

Wish me luck getting this MCR video approved to go on YouTube with its occassional few seconds of music video clips haha

No joke, I have scheduled in a day this month to finally make a train / video game related video I have been thinking about for well over a year.

You're not ready for by far the most autistic video I am caipable of producing!!!!
January 12, 2026 at 5:44 PM
2026 is the year I give myself more space to make videos on topics that are not at all timely, or tied to existing things I cover, but that my brain is bursting to tell people about on repeat :P
January 12, 2026 at 5:41 PM
So, I've been thinking about new content to start putting out in 2026, and I think the first new series (maybe?) of the year might be 30+ minute autistic infodump videos on specialist interest topics.

First one written / recorded today - A 30 min exploration of the scrapped 5th MCR album.

Hopping on Twitch tonight to try and predict 2026's video game review scores.

We're going to be beginning the 2026 Fantasy Critic Draft, selecting our initial picks and trying to grab unnoticed gems.

Who's gambling on risky picks?

the ICE officer calling a woman he just murdered a โ€œfucking bitchโ€ is visceral, but imo the most material new information in the latest video is that she very clearly turns the wheel away from the officer right before it happens

I'm not sure if our Dune episode it up yet, but we recorded a Dune episode right before the winter holiday break!
