Bueno, tampoco nos podemos precipitar: ¿y si quiso que lo apuñalaran y luego se arrepintió? ¿Qué hacía allí a esas horas? ¿Cómo se demuestra que no se apuñaló él solo? ¿Por qué no llamó inmediatamente a Desapuñala? Es que se viste como apuñalable. Sigue poniendo fotos en Instagram y muy apuñalado no parece, la verdad.

"While some developers complain about the cost and time that accessibility features require, smaller teams are already proving that even without AAA-studio resources, accessibility can and should be an integral aspect for every title." wired.com/story/indie-studios-…
in reply to The A11Y Project

Aside: did this article pop up an inaccessible "special offer" modal for anyone else? It grabbed my NVDA focus. Couldn't escape, couldn't tab, couldn't even navigate with object nav. Ultimately I closed the window without reading more than the first sentence, but either something's broken here or I got locked out of everything and couldn't even accept the offer if I'd wanted to.

Anyhow, I'll pipe down now. Just thought that was a fun experience to have in an article about accessibility. :P

@jaybird110127 I read that article earlier today. Now I see that an ISO of the software was posted to archive.org. Going to download it, peek inside, and see if the customized DECtalk engine that the article talks about is a DLL, or statically linked into the executable.
