QAuDHD Weekly

A weekly mini podcast detailing my experiences as a QA professional working in videogames, with both autism and ADHD. Each week I"ll be discussing some neurodivergent-related topic followed by a games quality topic (which I always cover in exactly 500 words... mostly). These are based on my own experiences and opinions, research, discussions with other professionals and neurospicy individuals, and are intended to provide insight, guidance, thought provoking ideas and a little bit of venting

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.

The last QAuDHD of the year is here!This week I talk about "Gamergate 2", representation and unconscious bias in what I hope doesn't come off as too much of a rant...

Thank you all so much for reading and listening to QAuDHD over the past few months - in a year of highs and lows it has been right up there with the best things I've done in 2024, and I plan to continue next year and beyond; for as long as I feel like

QAuDHD #30 - Different, But Not Really

QAuDHD Weekly ·

2024/12/02

Happy first Monday of December!Working from home makes it all-too-easy to just "power through" those days where you're feeling rough, because you figure you can still sift through emails and Slack messages, hold it together enough for a 15 minute meeting, and generally get a few bits done while you relax on the sofa (pretty much my normaly working day anyway). This week I talk about why I'm proud of myself for calling in sick (sort of) last week, and the sorts of things you should be analysing

QAuDHD Weekly ·

2024/11/18

Good Monday, everyone! Looking forward, I imagine we'll look back on recent events and wonder how far back things went wrong.

QAuDHD #27 - Bad Advice From My Number Two

QAuDHD Weekly ·

2024/11/11

Last week was... intense, huh? This week, I'm focussing on some bad advice and straight up lies we're told as kids. Then in a less-related-than-I'd-like main topic I'll be giving a brief overview of Compliance in videogames, why it's important and why, despite how important it is, it's often left to the last minute.

This week I'm talking about how things can get easily lost in translation, both at work and in general, following a particulalry akward encounter with a member of staff at the hotel I was staying at last week.
