dude we are so f*cked — I just got “excited” to see an advertisement for a product I give no shit about with a real person acting in it going “you go girl! Get that paycheck!” Meanwhile, AI-generated ads are making me actively unlikely to ever buy the advertised product/service.

Blue Prince Patch 1.7 released for Steam on PC today, very appropriately called the accessibility update. It finally adds remapping to the game, but also color assist options to help colorblind players, and motion assist options to avoid motion sickness. caniplaythat.com/2026/04/29/b...

Representation like this matters because it goes beyond access, it creates belonging. For so long, Deaf audiences have experienced stories through interpretation layered on top. This brings ASL directly into THE storytelling, allowing Deaf viewers to see themselves reflected in the music.

In the last month, I decided I would catch up on the Silent Hill games I haven't played: #SilentHill2 and #SilentHillF and wow. I rarely take the time anymore to just sit down and enjoy a single-player experience, letting myself be immersed in a world of both beauty and decay. Strongly recommend.

For Silent Hill 2 specifically, I was glad to see pretty in-depth customization settings for #accessibility -- which made it easier for me to set up controls reminder, show button inputs, resize text and more. As a neurodivergent player, I need as much info on the screen as possible at all times.

Epomaker sent us a Magcore 65 Lite to review. It proved a very interesting keyboard. It showcases the accessibility potential of inductive switches, which allow for responsiveness and customization that traditional mechanical keyboards can't touch. caniplaythat.com/2026/02/24/e...

I'm on the last stretch of puzzles in ChromaGun 2, after which I'll share my complete thoughts in my fuill review. But I can already say the team did a great job with the colorblind accessibility, and also the cognitive accessibility despite the deceptive difficulty of the game.

Can I Play That?@caniplaythat.com

Ahead of today’s launch of ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard, we had the chance to ask some questions about the game and its (colorblind) accessibility features to Ben Lochmann, CEO of developer @pixel-maniacs.bsky.social. Also stay tuned for our full review of the game soon! caniplaythat.com/2026/02/12/c...

I think our country (Canada) would be better if sports bars showed curling (olympics or not) and if everyone there reacted as passionately as when we do during the NHL playoffs. HYPE IT UP FAM 🥌🥌🥌

Hello hello! For Access Granted, I'm looking to speak with disabled couples on how they play games. How do you and your partner(s) play with your disabilities? What games/accessibility tools are best for you and your partner(s)?

Heya, it's #HorrorRecommendation o'clock! 👻 Here's 'Burnt Offerings' (1976), featuring Karen Black, Oliver Reed, and Bette Davis (amongst others). If you like Amityville, The Shining, Legend of Hell House or the ''malevolent/haunted house'' trope... you're in for a nice twisty treat. More below.

In the @letterboxd.social community, many affirm that 'Burnt Offerings' walked so 'The Shining' could run. Don't compare the two, though, because that wouldn't be fair (the latter is hard to top). But noticing the similarities and inspirations is a fun add-on to the watching experience.

All-in-all, definitely give 'Burnt Offering' a watch. It deserves its flowers, and still falls under the radar of many film and horror enthusiasts. 🏚️ Cheers! #Horror #MovieReview

No spoilers. Just some reasons why you should see it: - Karen Black's acting in her slow-and-gaslit descent into madness & despair is something to witness - The anxiety-inducing slow burn pace just... works - Anthony James as a creepy chauffeur is *chef's kiss* - Felt genuinely invested from A to Z

Given how King's mission has always been to make Candy Crush an approachable experience for ppl of all skills, age and backgrounds, it's no surprise that they've evolved into an accessibility-forward leader. While approachable doesn't always mean accessible, it can often be a nice gateway to it.

(meaning that when a company adopts approachability as an important mindset to have, a design-driver even, it makes sense that this can evolve into becoming aware of accessibility as a concept, and eventually dedicate time and resources towards it)

Especially interesting 'cause of how established Candy Crush is as an IP. First came out in 2012 as a Facebook flash game... then became a staple of mobile gaming. Then never stopped moving forward with updates, innovations and efforts keeping up with their audience AND competitors over the years.

The best compliment we could have received this year! What would have been unthinkable even 5 years ago, is now considered "standard" from us by our audience <3 There is still a ton of work to do to improve the #a11y of our games. Meanwhile, I'm going to savour this milestone over the break

preach. Also, just... bring back good, beautiful, smart, creative ads that actually make you *feel* something and want to hang them as art posters on your bedroom wall? Tired of being flooded by billions of AI-generated trash ads.

Marijn - ActiveB1t@abitofaccess.com

I want ads to go back to being useful, passive, and unobtrusive image links that are relevant to the website you're on. I don't want a hundred ads on twenty different sites from a store where I already bought the thing.

Amazing! I’m a huge fan of @makersmakingchange.bsky.social and you should be too.

I know, you're sitting there thinking "Damn, why isn't Grant releasing more JOURNALISM?" And the answer to that is SOON! In the meantime, I'm available for work! I cover community and investigative reports, accessibility reviews or previews, or just general disability coverage. JOURNALISM

With the EAA (European Accessibility Act) becoming law in all EU member states on June 28, 2025, it's important that we understand when and how gaming products are impacted. We've put together a helpful summary on what we know so far. shorturl.at/l7AaS #EAA #Accessibility #GamesAccessibility

I don’t know why, but I like to drink milk whenever I’m eating spaghetti (or other tomato-based pasta dishes). I’ve just always done it. So it’s just how it is.

More often it's a design director who came in on a Monday morning after playing Elden Ring / Zelda and proclaims to the team that the game is now going to be unique and different by being just like them.
