This so much.

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

This week we are holding a focus group with @rnib.bsky.social on Thu 29 Oct, 7pm GMT. We are looking for visually impaired or blind 18+ females open to discussing in a small group interest in gaming and professional games careers you have. Fill form for interest: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/xmw4V6BaSV

I'm enjoying Silent Hill: Townfall but WHY do horror games keep having off-screen ringing phones that aren't captioned? If I had $1 for every time I've encountered this, I could retire. I literally called this out in a talk YEARS ago. THE PHONES ARE STILL RINGING. 😭 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXo_...

It's time for you to get to know your 2026 Jingle Jam charities - starting with @specialeffect.org.uk, who we're so glad to welcome back to Jingle Jam this year. With your donations, they'll be able to continue to level the playing field for physically disabled gamers across the world.

Developer @icepicklodge.bsky.social released a big update for Pathologic 3 last week. Among others, the Great October Update includes changes that improve the accessibility of in-game text and visuals, as well as adding two new difficulty modes and a photo mode. caniplaythat.com/2026/10/26/p...

As we don’t have a car after the accident, I’m desperately trying to make ends meet while also trying to find money to buy a disabled friendly vehicle. ko-fi.com/tarja_pk/goa...

If you use ai generators, I hate you.

Du kannst übrigens noch so gute und hilfreiche Accessibility in deinem Spiel haben - Wenn es im Fenstermodus meine Maus gefangen hält und ich nicht auf Bildschirmtastatur oder andere virtuelle Eingabemöglichkeiten zugreifen kann, dann kann ich es trotz allem nicht spielen.

Twitch and OpenAI are unfortunately teaming up to see what users can build for Twitch with AI. To vote against this happening, vote on this UserVoice post: twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338...

Going to do an accessibility review of Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. I'll touch on every sport separately, as well as the overall accessibility. I'm open to any questions you'd like to see answered in the review, whether it's for yourself or others (looking at you, OTs).

🎙️Friday: first of a double barreled podcast release, I had the pleasure of talking with Shell Little Fireside a few weeks back. @shellelittle.bsky.social is a #game #accessibility worker. From a place near Canada. rss.com/podcasts/fir...

Developer @fusegames.com released an update for Star Wars: Galactic Racer yesterday. Among other features, it includes new keyboard presets and a promise of remapping in a future update, addressing a common accessibility barrier for the high speed hit. caniplaythat.com/2026/10/23/s...

Meet Footloose, the Eurasian collared dove that often comes by to ask for food. They've lost one foot, but are still quite nimble on their nub.

We are happy to share our latest Community Voice: Tarja (@tarjapk.bsky.social)! She’s co-founder of Raze and Rebuild Studios, and you may know her from her advocacy and community work. She shares her experience dealing with often changing accessibility needs. caniplaythat.com/2026/10/22/t...

The Saros: Zenith update released yesterday, and with it several new accessibility features along with new content. Adjustable game speed, auto-fire, a high contrast mode, and new modifiers all help players experience the action in Housemarque's shooter. caniplaythat.com/2026/10/20/s...

Don't miss it, @gaconf.bsky.social happens today and tomorrow!

Made another keyring today, this time for my daily driver. Creating the design was easy, unannounced laser action sent the rest of the household in a temporary panic, the stitching sent my fingers to hell.

Ok, the Olivia Rodrigo x Chappell Roan collab is a good time.

Sports Interactive is including several accessibility improvements in Football Manager 27. Not only that, but you can also choose for your manager to use an electric wheelchair. A lovely bit of representation, especially as it affects the in-game world. caniplaythat.com/2026/10/16/f...

Xbox announced the Xbox Nano Controller, a small and light controller for players with small hands (like kids) or people on the go. Naturally, a smaller size and lighter weight also bring accessibility benefits to the otherwise fully featured controller. caniplaythat.com/2026/10/15/x...

Ubisoft and Riot Games both have expanded their use of the Accessible Games Initiative tags. Ubisoft currently has 80 games with tags on their product pages. Riot Games has recently changed their accessibility page to list games with their tags. caniplaythat.com/2026/10/14/u...

The sad state of affairs right now is that the Repulsives could win the midterms by a landslide and a lot of the world would not be surprised one bit. Not to mention the Dems seem all bark and no bite, aside from a handful of hopefuls.

He seems confused about clothes.

I'm appropriately loopy from the jab (happens every time), I'll either have a poopy night, or I'll sleep well (only happens when I half pass out from being sick). Still had a moderately successful day fighting with custom WordPress blocks.

Despite the Dutch government's best efforts to hide the vaccine for everyone younger than 70, I once again got my covid jab today. If you're Dutch, go to planjeprik.nl to make an appointment. You have every right, and perhaps a moral obligation, to protect yourself and others when you are able.

For players with low or no vision, narration can be essential. Not just for dialogue, but especially to make menus and UI understandable and navigable. Without it, many games aren't just unplayable, but impossible to even start. Making games' text accessible allows many more players to enjoy them.

It's World Sight Day today, what better day to call attention to the readability of text in games — one of the most mentioned accessibility barriers for gaming on any screen size. Text is more accessible with large default sizes, clear sans-serif fonts, and colors that contrast with the background.

Instead of blaming others, they could stop stuffing low earth orbit full of their satellite slop. www.pcmag.com/news/spacex-...

TOEM 2 really is an absolutely lovely experience, and a great sequel to the original. It makes me hope for more TOEM in the future. If remapping could be included in an update that would fix one of the biggest real barriers the game has. Once again thanks to @popagenda.co for the code!

That "decompiled" Adobe suite is nothing more than vibe coded AI slop that's "made" to look like real deal, but doesn't work like it.

Can a player find your settings before the first cinematic and gameplay, understand what they do, and change them without losing progress? We've seen teams invest in genuinely useful features then hide them behind unclear categories, tiny text or an inaccessible set up flow. What games do it well?

TOEM 2 a very accessible experience for most players thanks to its monochrome contrasting visuals and cozy gameplay without time limits or fail states. A lack of remapping is its biggest accessibility sin, and some text could benefit from more contrast. caniplaythat.com/2026/10/07/i...

I'd love to have my neck snap into place and relax the way my hips do after laying down. Truly one of the best parts of the day.

Accidentally read Steam reviews for Star Wars: Galactic Racer and negative ones that stood out nearly all mentioned the lack of remapping. And the controls on keyboard being tricky enough for people without mobility issues. I really hope @fusegames.com has plans to address this accessibility issue.

Carlos enjoyed his experience with Onimusha: Way of the Sword, but struggled with the game's accessibility. Especially for players with limited mobility, the lack of control customization and inability to avoid rapid presses are big barriers to play. caniplaythat.com/2026/10/06/o...

Pink Pony Cluck

Just finished TOEM 2 (thanks @popagenda.co for the code!). Definitely a lovely experience I recommend, but there are a few spots where the accessibility can be improved. Expect an indie spotlight on @caniplaythat.com the coming week.

There's way too much software in these F1 cars. If all these different cars stalling is once again an "AI" being confused about the car's position on track it's time they cut that shit out. The driver needs to know where they are, the car needs to listen to the driver.

Fellas, posting or reposting obvious content farming "we are all Jane Doe" AI slop isn't the support you think it is, it's less than the least. Especially when that imagery appropriates symbolism used specifically to speak out against the violence and abuse endured by indigenous women.

"The most common shape of a 4-sided die is a pyramid of pure malice." I might have gone on an anti-pyramid D4 tangent in the middle of this article and will not apologize. You're welcome.

Sirius Dice released a Disability Pride themed dice set, with a digital equivalent also available for D&D Beyond. The dice set features an accessible design in the colors of the disability pride flag, with easy to read numbers, and an arch style D4. caniplaythat.com/2026/10/02/s...

Happy Spooky Month! Today kicks off our #AccessibilityIsntScary fundraiser which promotes the idea that meeting access needs isn't a scary thing to do. This event is hosted through @tiltify.com with @crowdcontrol.live integrations to fundraise your way! Join us for #AiS2026 👻

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Haven't heard of the man or the show, but I'm guessing others have and need to be aware. Bluesky is luckily less drama driven than the bad place, but that doesn't mean these guys get to fly under the radar.

Every year at the end of Craniofacial Acceptance Month I repost a piece I wrote 5 years ago, about gaming with a facial difference. Not much has changed, but luckily I can't say things have gotten worse either. caniplaythat.com/2021/09/30/g... In the meantime, as faces mature they keep changing...
