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

Considering getting either an #xbox or #ps5 for the family as a #gaming platform. Any opinions as to which console has the best #accessibility setup for #blind game players?


To #blind users, does anyone play #browser #games or open multiple tabs on #Firefox without the browser slowing to a crawl? I was thinking about switching from #Edge to Firefox, but games that run well in Edge or other Chrome-based browsers make Firefox extremely slow, and it's the same way if I open even a few tabs. My computer is a #BeeLink SER5Pro #miniPC with 32 Gb of RAM and #Windows11Pro.

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)…

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.

Okay y'all, Retroarch is now accessible on iOS! You *will* need a keyboard or gamepad to play and use the user interface. PSP games work great though! Just download all the core updates and needed core files for PPSSPP, if you plan on playing PSP games, and you're good! #accessibility #RetroArch #blind #blindGaming #emulation #emulators #gaming #iOS Link to the App Store page: apps.apple.com/app/id649953943…

#StopKillingGames.com aims to delegalize game publishers thanos-snapping games you've paid real money for when they feel like it. Exactly what Ubisoft recently did with The Crew.

MattKC has a great short video about it:

Well ...that teaches me to go to sleep right after dropping an announcement like this :-O I did not expect even a tenth of the response this received, thank you all so much for that.
I realize the channel's looking kinda bare at present. The idea to do this os only a day or so old, so 🐻 with me while I set up an initial stream and such. If people are curious, the YouTube channel over at youtube.com/@blindlycoding has a number of archived game streams from my gaming channel, where I tackle #accessible #gaming, as well as a playlist on last year's Advent of Cyber on the TryHackMe event where I go through the challenges with a screen reader, critique the accessibility of a lot of them and overall trialed the format I want to pursue on the IC_Null channel. If people need a preview, that's where you go :)

Thomas Was Alone PS3 review


Read the review here. This was my highest rated game review ever. Everybody loved it and even though I am no longer doing gaming reviews these days, this was in my trunk so I thought I would share.


Doom 1 and 2 are now officially licensed under the #GPL, no longer dual-licensed with the DSL :)

By the way, #PortalRevolution is reaaaaally good! It's pretty much more of the same if you have played #Portal 1 and 2 but it is quite impressive for a fan project. There also is a native #Linux version. Grab it for free (you need to have #Portal in your library: store.steampowered.com/app/601…

This article by Levi Winslow is both a touching personal story of loosing sight in a meaningful capacity and about accessibility in games. It also shouts out @superblindman for the great work being done for sight impaired people in gaming.
But there’s still a long way to go by many devs and console makers as well (Nintendo has no accessibility controller).

Accessibility isn’t just a nice to have, it has to be the standard!

In an hour, we'll hop on ye olde stream machine once more and take a thorough look at #hearthstone. I'll go over the efforts that were made to make the game work for a #gamerWithoutSight, and we'll play through various modes while trying to have fun and answer any questions anybody might have about the channel, the game, its accessibility, or stuff in general! :) Come find me over at twitch.tv/game4access #twitchStreamer #gaming #accessibility #gameDev


Many folks seemed to like my demonstration of the mod for the #gothic #game by #piranchaBytes that allows #blind players to play! So now we have a little follow-up, maybe not something as exciting as the previous time, but no less important. The Smart Map feature allows the blind player to observe the 3D game surrounding in a 2D environment. Since the world of Gothic is pretty complicated with all kinds of polygons living inside it, we needed to make the map a bit simpler but no less functional. And so the Smart Map feature was born; it cuts the world to little squares, 500 X 500 in size, which can be navigated by the player allowing them to see what is going on in nearby sectors. Since Gothic uses the so called Waynet which is used for NPCs to know where we're going, we have a seemingly free pathfinding as well which, thanks to the limitations of #ZenGin is not as simple as I initially thought. Spread the word about YAGA! Thanks the great modders who contributedt his feature. #gaming #accessibility #a11y #gothic #rpg


PlayStation's Project Leonardo Accessibility Controller Reveal | CES 2023 youtu.be/wMD5Nq_4Il8 via @YouTube #a11y #gaming


Really glad Sony is finally making an accessibility-focused controller for PS5.

It’s overdue, especially considering all the accessibility work Sony’s been doing on the software side.

Hope they sell it for a reasonable price.

#GoodMorning adventurers!
How are you?

I survived the hump day and this is all I'm going to say about yesterday and how it went.

Today it's #thursday, meaning I'll be #live #streaming on #twitch this evening at 10 PM CET, don't miss it!
I'll be chilling playing some #WorldOfWarcraft #Dragonflight, leveling up the new hero class, the evoker, with drops enabled!
And maybe, a few games on #DivineKnockout, also with drops enabled!

Click the 💜 on twitch.tv/the_gamer_tavern to be notified when I'll be online :dragon_happy:
