hello everyone, I am redoing my #introduction post. Welcome to my lovely profile, if you follow me, that’s great. But if you’d like to lurk on my timeline, that’s fine too. I don’t really post much, just a few times here and there. I do my best to be kind to those around me. A few of my interests include.. #Gaming, #Technology, #Food and many more. Feel free to get to know me and reach out anytime. The only thing I ask is this, if you do follow me and you do not have a biography on your profile: I will not follow you. It’s not me trying to be rude, but I have no idea who you are. Take care everyone and stay safe!
Excited to share that Bottles has been selected by the NLnet Foundation as part of the February 2025 NGI0 Commons Fund. One of only 40 projects supported in this round. Full announcement here: nlnet.nl/news/2025/20250804-an…
I'm taking ideas for possible web based apps or services (including possible games) that could benefit/entertain blind, partially sighted, or other disabled people. While I won't spend full time on this, I'll spend some time programming. Depending on the difficulty of the project, the resulting product/service may be free. With games, I'm aiming for more casual than not.
Tis done 🎉 My #youtube channel, formerly known as BlindlyCoding, is now named ViewpointUnseen. This allows me to broaden the content on that channel to include a lot more different types of content, from tutorials for the #blind from a #blindness perspective, tech reviews from that same perspective, #gaming streams as well as reaction content when I find sufficient things to react to. I think there's a lot of value I can offer to the world at large with stuff that's currently locked inside my head and having a bit more time during the work week allows me to spend more time on #contentCreation. Screen reader tutorials? Hacking streams? Videogames? Reviewing pieces of tech and supplying #accessibility recommendations to users AND developers/creators? Yes, all of that and more. Stay tuned!

Steam just added screen reader support in the latest Big Picture Mode beta. On the Deck. On SteamOS. On Linux. Not hacked in. Not community-patched. Built-in. From Valve. There's an accessibility tab. There's a screen reader. There's high-contrast mode, UI scaling, color filters, reduced motion, and more. I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I need a Steam Deck now. Accessibility isn’t just coming to gaming — it’s here, and it’s official. Let’s make some noise so they keep going. 🔗 theverge.com/games/689922/stea… #Accessibility #Gaming #SteamDeck #ScreenReader #Linux #valve

With Vigilante audio description written by Robert Kingett, first, you will see regular, in line, audio description. Then, you will see expanded audio description. This particular version was for the Xbox.
A slightly older demo I did of Ear Hockey for Windows wherein I play one game on extreme mode, showing how both blind and sighted gamers can play without sighted people needing the same accessibility features I need to play the game.
Uploaded from my Facebook account, this is a small video of me playing Forza Horizon 5 and starting a mission and finishing a mission. Blindness accessibility features have been enabled.

4 days until our 4th annual jam! Games for blind Gamers!
This is my all time favorite jam, I've met amazing people, learned a lot about accessibility, became a better programmer, and I'm super happy that I'm helping run it this year!
If you have time, consider joining! It's a month long chill jam where if all you can do is an afternoon one Saturday, you're as welcome as anyone and we'd be honored to have you!

Making blind accessible video games has been truly life changing, and it all started with making a game for a blind accessible game jam. I learned so much about accessibility, met wonderful people, was exposed to video games made in new and wonderful ways, and felt inspired in new ways to be creative. So that's why I help a yearly jam all about blind accessibility in video games, and I genuinely hope anyone reading this considers joining. itch.io/jam/games-for-blind-ga… #indiedev #Blind #gaming

I sometimes wonder why all the FLOSS #mahjong #games on Linux are always the boring American "mahjong solitaire" version, never the traditional "street" mahjong, which is 100x more stimulating.
It would be so cool if #GNOME's #Mahjongg game (or a derivative) had a multiplayer-like mode, the one played by uncles in the streets of Hong Kong (youtube.com/watch?v=qzcmCvOM2K…), but with the computer as opponents (like in the embedded video below, or most computer chess games)…
I just learned (from Reddit, of all places) that there is a whole website dedicated to accessible builds for Guild Wars 2, created by gamers with accessibility needs.

While the Linux support of ALVR is still quite rough due to various issues with SteamVR, ALVR is a very promising way to stream VR games to your headset via Wi-Fi and a new release is out now with v20.9.1.
SO when the #accessibility testing, advocating and fixing becomes a bit much it can be rather cathartic to, rather than take " we'll maybe at some point get to this eventually possibly maybe" , you just fireball your obstacles out of existence. I do gaming stoofs too on this tiny little #twitch channel simply called Zersiax, and will be checking out some #diabloIV over there in half an hour. If the new #openSSH vuln is making you sad or the ladybird dev's got you down on your luck, come see stuff getting exploded, it helps, I promise :) See you then, over at https;//twitch.tv/zersiax #selfPromo #gaming #noTechStuffForAChange
Not sure if I've talked about this here, but there are like, tons of stuff here. I'm gonna try that Linux distro through Crostini on my old ChromeBook that I don't do anything else with anymore. The VM's over the Internet are really cool too! The AT Museum is cool. And I'm curious to see if the Windows 2000/XP on **Android** works. That'd be trippy.
Please boost for reach: There's an open issue on Github about adding scripting support to Retroarch. This would enable scripts like the Pokemon Access mod to be ran on Retroarch, hopefully allowing blind people to actually play the game while mobile. I tried it out and am already making a team in Pokemon Emerald, and in the woods in the first few areas of the game! If anyone is good with adding Lua to things, or if anyone is good at modding games and wants to enhance the Pokemon Access scripts, I'd really appreciate you looking into this.
Description New feature: Lua scripting, like other emulators. Provide functions to read/write game memory, display graphics on screen, poll input, control emulator, etc. (Not Lutro! Scripts running...
