I'm really enjoying my time in Yotie. The game improves on everything that GoT did. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. Plus the lofi music mode is really fun.

Sourdough practice continues. The latest loaf looks even better than the last

I am so excited to announce that I am joining the Wizards of the Coast team as UX Design Director for Magic The Gathering (Arena)

This is my last one before I start my new job Monday.

Attempt three. This one had less salt and a tighter structure. I still think I can do better, but it cut cleanly and has a nice bounce to the bread (good structure)

A cut sourdough loaf on a marble slab. A knife sits nearby. The interior has a relatively tight crumb indicating a moderate fermentation.

I agree 💯

My sister mailed me a new hat. Do you think I could make this work as formal wear? Or is this business casual?

A pointed wizard hat with a leather buckle strap around the center. A leather holder half way up the center of the hat has 2 potions, a rolled up map and a small pouch attached by loosely tied leather laces

Heck yeah- I can score like crazy

Okay attempt number two turned out way better. I got the cold proofing down and the folding and shaping dialed in. This looks yum!

When you are waiting for your next job to start after a long unemployment there is only one thing to do... Learn a new skill. Today I am learning how to make sourdough

If you are in the accessibility space you likely know that the EAA is rolling out and will likely impact any game with communication or micro transactions. Get ahead of this and make your games more accessible today. igda-gasig.org/what-and-why...

Really cool to see high contrast in FC 26! Excellent work

Mila Pavlin - Accessibility Game Dev @missfire.bsky.social · Jul 19

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with that puzzle. The earlier games are lacking in some of the puzzle adjustments we added for Ragnarok. Since I'm no longer with SMS, I am unable to assist with fixing it personally.

So glad that the Access Controller is opening up more ways to play the previous titles. The importance of developing accessibility in games is highlighted more today than ever. We should all be developing accessibility into the base games however, since accessibility by design is more approachable.

I’m a disabled player finally playing God of War III. I remastered on PS5 thanks to the Access Controller. I couldn’t play when it first came out due to lack of accessibility.

To all my friends and former coworkers who are impacted by the massive layoffs... stay strong, stay positive, and be supportive.

You are valuable, you are talented, you are worth it.

Hold each other up, respect each other, and lend a hand whenever you can.

We are stronger TOGETHER.

Not only is Sinners a good movie, it will now have a BASL version. Really like that there are more movies with Sign Language versions being released. #accessibility

Sinners will hit Max with a version translated into Black American Sign Language

When Sinners becomes available to stream on Max, it will be alongside a new version of the film interpreted in BASL.

My only wish is that there was more attention to accessibility features. I would have suggested adding some navigation assist, text to speech and a high contrast mode, please.
