And for what it's worth, I am always open to questions from other consultants from would-be and newbie consultants, to helping those who had the same feeling I did all those years ago when I first started, watching others do the job I wanted and not knowing how I could get there.

I am so happy to work at a place that doesn't just think about issues, but seeks to solve them or find out why, not just on our own, but with other organisations 😻 I am sure there are folks following or mutuals on here who would be perfect for this - please share too! #GameAccessibility

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

How bad is my pain? Pumpkin won't leave me alone and insists on sitting on me and purring stinky catfood breath in my face. 😻

Can't sleep, so gonna ask for your help I'm trying to get myself into the voice acting industry, but to get agents who can send me auditions, I need a demo. Demos are EXPENSIVE, and I am unfortunately very poor and very disabled. If you can't give, pls share 💕 ko-fi.com/radderss

Just a reminder to all the indie devs: You can just post a link to your game when you mention it. In fact, attaching a link and thumbnail beneath doesn't even add to the character count. This isn't Twitter. You won't be suffocated in your sleep by the algorithm here. There is no algorithm here.

If a menu in a game can be navigated with the dpad, it should ideally in most cases also be able to be navigated with a thumb stick (and vice versa) #Gamedev #UX

Stop trying to upgrade disabled people's body when the problem is your design! @weirdwriter.caneandable.social.ap.brid.gy argues that the tech industry needs to stop trying to sell useless expensive gadgets no disabled person wants, or can afford.

Another networking session with this year's Impact cohort. Amazing to hear about their work and what they are achieving.

and you better believe I am going to try and sell @thewobblygamer.bsky.social for cold hard cash.

That picture of me is not edited, thats how I look before my fibro meds!

Friends, sloppers can already analyze images to see what's in them. They aren't relying on image descriptions or alt text. Doing this is not just deliberately cruel to disabled folk, but a complete waste of time and makes you, rightfully, appear completely uninformed on both ai and accessibility.

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.

A few weeks ago, a couple of Nintendo Switch Reddit communities rallied around a player who said "I'm dying" of ALS, and said the Ocarina of Time remake would be the first game he actually finishes. I spoke to him about his situation and what games mean to him: www.gamesradar.com/games/the-le...

10/10 GOTY - This one way you can do game accessibility without trying to make everything perfect - solve for what/who you know.

Let’s put more accessibility settings in games for photosensitive/epileptic folks eh?

3am bath thoughts Replying to ragebait and trolls online is like picking scabs in public. You're only hurting yourself and everyone else is looking at you disgusted.

Having an editorial team of only cis-men in 2026 is a management failure, and we should treat it as such. There's no shortage of highly skilled, overqualified, funny, smart, and direct women, femme, trans, and non-binary people TRYING to work in games media. We just don't get to most of the time.

I forgot that Witcher 3 is like this 🤣

the idea of games with a single difficulty level is so weird. it just doesn't make sense. how are devs supposed to magically target you, perfectly, sight unseen? people have all kinds of individual strengths and habits and weaknesses and accessibility needs? that's just not how it works.

Oh hey, looks like I got invited to the Twitch Women's Guild! Lovely surprise to get during stream tonight!!!

For those curious, the Steam Machine works out the box with the Xbox Adaptive Controller, Xbox Adaptive Joystick, Hori Flex, and Byowave Proteus Controller. The PS Access controllerbwas the only major accessibility controller not to work correctly with the system.

I got an early look at Rayman Legends Retold and tested its accessibility. There are some promising features, but the platforming and limited customization still need work. Here’s what worked and what I hope improves: youtu.be/Dc3f2j67I74

I long for a world that cares for others, where collective empathy is the default.
