QAuDHD Weekly

And we're back! Back again. DJ's back. Tell a friend (OK I'll stop).

This week we're back to our double-topic format, with some scientific justification for constantly re-watching the same shows on Netflix and a few tips on ensuring a positive initial experience for players of your games!

SEX!

Now that I've got your attention, this week marks a half century of QAuDHD episodes/issues (I know it says 49, but ignore that), so I'm doing a special episode all about... well sex, actually. Just not sex in that sense. Unless you've been living under a rock this past week, I'm sure you can figure out what I mean, and either way - the best way to find out is to read/listen!

This week I'll be talking once again about allyship, especially in the wake of recent events in games and the world of entertainment as a whole. I'll also be giving a brief explanation of how to utilise your quality teams as part of any post-launch support efforts for your games!

Happy (belated) World Autism Awareness Day! This week I talk a bit about a show that's doing amazing things for Autism Awareness (at least in my opinion) and I also cover off some of the less obvious stumbling blocks that can affect game submissions for console release.

It's been quite a busy few weeks for me, with a lot to juggle, a lot of change, some highs and some lows. But I've made it through to the other side and (just about) managed to scrape together today's issue throughout it all, so... yay me!

In this week's issue I talk about the legitimacy of games journalism, why "popular opinions" aren't all they're cracked up to be, and just a few examples of how to maximise Audio Accessibility with volume controls and subtitles.

In this week's issue, I give a really positive example of where hyperfocus has helped me to prepare for the arrival of our baby and then, on the topic of fixating on a particular topic, I go into a bit more detail about last week's topic.

This week I kick off with an impression, because why not, before talking about the rising number of autistic diagnoses and the general rise and fall of open bugs over the course of a game's development.

Returning again to a couple of old topics, this week I dive deeper into the best way to delegate or hand out tasks (especially to us neurodiverse peeps) and a few best practices around Visual Accessibility.

Eurika! I had a spark of realisation this week that might almost make it seem like I've planned out my topics in order to eventually be able to tie things together into a single example, but... no. I'm not that organised.

It HAS worked out rather nicely, purely by coincidence, however. So that's good!
