Several years ago I bought an XP Pen monitor with the hope I’d get better at digital art, I didn’t. Last week I gave it to my daughter and she did these within 2 days. I quit.

@KenneyNL 2 very happy girls, thank you. #MakeRoom.

[Tim Wood @thalumas]

@KenneyNL Looks great. I have 2 13 year old girls who have been asking me weekly for a year now when this is going to be released, any ideas yet.

@SkySportsF1 Only if he waves his magic wand and make Lance Stroll disappear.

@TheLastLeg So long and thanks for all the “Bullshit!”. #TheLastTweet

@reduzio I come from a Java background so untyped just feels wrong.

@JustusThom92653 @BobVR @SkySportsF1 There is a big difference between being an engine supplier and owning the team. When was the last time you saw a Haas driver not turn up to the stewards because it benefitted Ferrari.

[Tim Wood @thalumas]

@anthonyec @godotengine Nice one, something like this should really be there by default.

@greatesthitsuk Week off work well spent. Complete Spotify playlist for #GHRTop500. https://t.co/CXEAaE7cx2

@digitalfoundry I know you do mainly graphics tech but can you do a video highlighting the amazing work @Turn10Studios and @Xbox have on the accessibility options in #ForzaMotorsport, they have really set a high bar for other developers.

[Tim Wood @thalumas]

@Xbox and @ForzaMotorsport I am absolutely blown away by the effort you have made to make Forza Motorsport accessible for visually impaired gamers. Thank you so much. ❤️#accessibility

@CanIPlayThat @SeaOfThieves On one hand this is fantastic news, as a visually impaired player I never felt free to just enjoy the experience as there was always someone who’d ruin it. On the other hand, it’s still sad to see this is capped at level 40 for trade company locking away part of the PVE game.

@eurogamer Really glad I gave up on Unity a few years back, @godotengine all the way now. If I am ever successful. at least I won’t be looking over my shoulder.

By Microsoft's standards, Starfield is a giant leap backwards for accessibility - on this front Bethesda has a lot of catching up to do. https://t.co/eCC2n4r5pq

Finally something approaching good news about Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 https://t.co/LSL35rrbOq, looks so good. #SaveStarTrekProdigy

@eurogamer As I’m nearly blind anyway, doing that was a piece of cake as I do most stuff by touch. Adding the extra 32Gb of ram was a pain though, not much room to feel around those sockets.

[Tim Wood @thalumas]

@larianstudios A friend has just made me aware of Baldur’s Gate 3, yes apparently I’ve been living under a rock, and I was wondering, will there be any accessibility options such as text to speech. As a visually impaired player I worry there will be a lot of reading.

There is so much bitching about the #Diablo4 1.1 patch you’d think nobody was going to play. So why can I not log in because it’s so busy, guess it’s just that noisy minority again.
