The 40th anniversary of Zelda is all the excuse you need to submerge yourself in classic Katsuya Terada art.

You're absolutely right – this actually *isn't* a place of honor.
* I thought esteemed deeds were commemorated here, but that was wrong.
* The message wasn't about treasure, it was about danger. That's on me.
* I won't sugarcoat it – the danger is still present, and now it's in your body.

The Access-Ability Summer Showcase is a fantastic celebration of all things accessible. Games of all size have something to offer and I love to see what's been going on!

Love to see this returning - amazing stuff by Laura here :)

Thanks Shell! Your feedback was invaluable and has helped informed many decisions we're making.

Hope all is well and you've managed to transcend the senior/staff/principle titling issue and go straight to "Accessibility Raccoon" 🦝

The curse has finally been broken!

It was a fantastic suggestion, and appreciate the courage and vulnerability when you shared it! We make better games when we're all involved :)

I will write something proper somewhere but the emetophobia toggle is SO special to me I can’t thank the team enough for their support on getting this set up 🥺 and to know this was on the list makes little me (and current me!) so happy 🥺💗 #gaconf #seaofthieves

Congrats @rare.co.uk!

Working with these folks was always the best - @topher.io and the crew did great work. Helping game teams with accessibility, I'm often building foundations, but with Rare, it was about helping maintain maximum speed and discovering new places off the map. 💖

honored to have worked on this game with lots of other amazing people! huge cograts to this team for their ongoing accessibility work!

So glad to be able to be a part of this event (presenting an award) and enjoy it along with you all. Let's start things off on a positive note and continue it throughout 2026! #A11Y

You're telling me Terraria released their "Bigger and Boulder" update on this national holiday?!

Tab groups. You won't have any less tabs, but you might be able to convince yourself they're deliberately organised

It's a new year and you know what that means: it's time to replace all the houseplants you forgot to water in 2025!! 🪴

Your downfall with Balatro was forgetting about hyperfocus

(I've still not got to South Of Midnight, glad to hear you enjoyed it!)

And a happy new year, ya filthy animals

Wake up babe three brand new birds just dropped

A hooded merganser on the water. It is a duck with a dark body, a small orange bill, and a fabulous orange "hood" coming out of the back of its head.

So anyway I saw three brand new birds today including this rare hooded merganser. Successful 2025 imo

So gorgeous 😭 Have a wonderful Christmas you crazy kids!!
