Just finished Taria & Como for the #Playdate- an amazing physics-based platformer w/ an all-Black cast w/ characters who have disabilities and tics prominently & proudly addressed! So glad to see #indie #games represent a broader, #inclusive audience in ways AAA games fail to again & again. #gaming
