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 :)

BlindlyCoding

Programming, hacking, gaming, composing music. These are all things a fully blind person using a screen reader can do, given enough technical know-how. On this channel, I show you how it all works. Come stay a while :)

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.

Thomas Was Alone (PS3) - DarkZero

There's a definition to many different words tucked away in a video game dictionary somewhere. The definition is overlooked because it's an indie title developed by one man with a mission to bring so many workable elements…

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!

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

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!

Highly suggest this method of using Steam. Soooooo much better. Works best with a controller.

Like this is usable good, more than just useable, this is decently manageable.

Please Valve, if you ever read my toot, please keep going with this!

So there's a way to get the Steam app to play nice with screen readers.

Go to your desktop and highlight your Steam icon. Open your applications menu, go to properties and add -gamepadui to the end of the string. Make sure there's a space between the quote marker and the dash or it won't work.

You might have to login again, but this throws the app into a beta of the Steam Deck UI which fuck me sideways is very NVDA friendly. There's some bugs here and there, but this is lightyears better than what we had to deal with before.

During Global Accessibility Awareness Week this year, I was invited to give a talk for Eidos Montreal / Square Enix West, all about how disabilities often intersect, and needs can overlap in unexpected ways Devs need to consider.
