I do a monthly round-up of accessibility news at work, and going straight to Can I Play That? as one of my sources is invaluable every time.

A brilliant team doing brilliant work, go give them a follow, and if you can, support with a donation!

Y'know, when people have asked me about my dream game, I've always said a runaway slave + Underground Railroad project or something set in or around the Haitian Revolution.

Someone somewhere is already taking this on and infusing the work with all the courage that the subject matter deserves.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

The nice thing about the Tron Ares premiere party being an unending loop of extremely loud Nine Inch Nails music is that I can't hear the consistent whine of the El wire in my outfit LOL

Jay standing on stage at the Tron Ares premiere. The stage is made up of a stack of large black flat triangles red neon light outlining them. He is wearing a black and red outfit with red el wire along the lapel of the jacket with a black miniskirt and black thigh high boots

You may not be paying attention to this story,

but a white police officer was caught on camera tampering with a witness and other evidence for the express purpose of framing LSU football player Kyren Lacy for a vehicular manslaughter he had NOTHING to do with.

Kyren took his own life in April.

So, I'm making a video game based on Palestinian folklore. It's called Thursday of the Dead, and you can talk to a Palestinian ghouleh. It will have branching narrative, and art all made by a human (me). I need exactly $100 to launch it on Steam when it's finished.

if you care about comic book sales, then understand that you need to care about the public library before any other outlet

Selling a graphic novel to one library is worth more than selling to ten individual people

For most people. Some people have involuntary movements or tics but for me it's a conscious action (bc my joints hurt and I've probably subluxed something in there & I'm trying to fix it 🙃)
