That is the Xbox Accessibility controller! Its a easily remappable single thumbstick controller that were recommended to us by @arevya.bsky.social ๐Ÿคฉ We use it mainly for developing Vikings On Trampolines, but now totally works with Owlboy too! ๐Ÿ‘

An excerpt from one of King Harald V's speeches. This is the kind of leader a country should have.

Today we lost our King, a man loved by so many, also known as all of Norways grandpa โค๏ธ A man who used the power he had to promoted inclusion and acceptance when others stayed silent. May he rest in peace, and may his words live on forever โค๏ธ

note that even if you opt your channel out, your chat messages will still be used to train twitch/amazon's generative AI models if you chat in someone's stream who hasn't opted out. my advice is to be annoying about asking. any streamer who's opted out will be glad to tell you so.

Twitch now uses your channel to train generative AI by default. You can opt out of some training here: www.twitch.tv/settings/sec...

Thank you for the write up on accessibility in my game :) itโ€™s a very fair write-up! The flashing particularly from things like mortar guns is something I hadnโ€™t really considered before. If I think of a good alternative solution to indicate which tiles are hit I will implement a setting to toggle

There is also an impressively complex difficulty setting system in Palworld. I have found over 40+ settings that you can customize to get the perfect playthrough for you and your accessibility needs.

I downloaded Palworld today, and here is a quick look at the accessibility settings that are available in the game so far! ๐Ÿญ Sadly, none of the setting are explained, so hopefully this post can help more people play the game. Please share with anyone that can benefit from knowing this โค๏ธ

UPDATE: Sony has come out and said that the release of the FlexStrike wireless fight stick is delayed "due to unexpected production delays" and will launch at a later date. No news on when that is ๐Ÿฉต

FlexStrike has been annonused to be available for pre-order starting June 12 for a recommended retail price of $199.99! It will launch on August 6, and I'm so hyped, as this is something that can be SO GOOD for people struggling with motor issues. This can be a REALLY cool tool for accessibility!

Heaving a very weary sighโ€” NEW: I spoke to those impacted by layoffs within XBOX's accessibility teams to try and understand the scale of those cuts and what they mean for accessibility going forward. It's all pretty bleak, but there *are* tiny shreds of hope.

Ah yes, why not let AI guide you on how to do CPR?!? What could go wrong?! Everyone knows you do chest compression ON THE STOMACH?!?! As a previous certified Red Cross search and rescuers, that has been the first responder to many serious cases, this hurts my soul ๐Ÿซ 

The rig I'm on has put up first aid guides that were made with AI. Wouldn't bother with CPR there, would be more concerned by the fact is head isn't connected to his body

OH this is disappointing! The visual audio wheel is my go to example of the coolest audio accessibility in games ๐Ÿ’”

Well, this is a MAJOR blow to accessibility. Fortnite has nerfed the Visual Audio wheel, which was designed for deaf and hard-of-hearing players. It makes the game almost unplayable for those players. Plus it helped a ton of other disabled players, including myself www.linkedin.com/posts/cdspow...
