They all have massively lost the plot, investor money gives a weird high I guess. That, or they're all freaking terrified of their ceasar.

Moderation tools are great, for safety and peace of mind on a small, personal, scale.

To foster a safe and welcoming platform, consistent moderation at a platform level is necessary. It should not be in the hands of extremely privileged people. They don't understand what makes a space safe or not.

Smaller controller might help a lot! Finding the shape that allows your fingers to be in a more natural position is key.

For me the PlayStation layout is often more tiring, the offset sticks (Xbox/Nintendo) allow my fingers to rest. On keyboard I remap to QWES to let my fingers rest on the buttons.

He isn't worth the dirt under my shoes, and those so called dollars are Monopoly money valued at the whims of a stock market that divorced itself from reality, much like Musk's wives divorced themselves from him.

Replying from my personal account, as this is my personal experience: compression gloves really help my hands on bad days with a controller.

Also really helpful has been resting my hands and controller on a desk or in my lap during play, to avoid tightly gripping the controller, and (short) breaks!

The Accessible Games Initiative shared guidance aimed at anyone interested in implementing the tags on their storefront, website, or other platform.

A presentation at GAconf this week explained how to go about checking games against tag criteria.

Currently writing an accessibility presentation and tried categorising a bunch of features into "needs" verticals.

Quickly realised none of them fit nicely into a single category, the whole structure has collapsed, and I've rewritten the slide simply as "Everything Is Accessibility"

Exciting news - a US Patent has finally been granted for our #BrailleDice! By protecting our unique design we can require anyone who manufactures them meet our strict quality control standards, ensuring readable dice every time. Another huge win for #AccessibilityInTabletop 💜
Photograph of acrylic and metal 7 piece braille rpg sets atop scattered pieces of paper. The documents are details of the US Patent 12,415,127 and include pages with illustrations of the DOTS RPG Project braille dice having specific areas of the dice tagged with reference numbers and multiple pages of text explaining the unique design and function of each element of a die.

About 4 years ago I wrote my first piece on @caniplaythat.com for Craniofacial Acceptance Month.

I usually post it again each year as the message is still relevant. People with a facial difference are more than the harmful trope of a scary villain or sad backstory.

Gaming with a Facial Difference
Video games are a great escape from real life, but having a facial difference is something you don’t escape while gaming.

When your social media is not accessible, you risk excluding players.

Five quick tips:
1. Provide alt text for images
2. Avoid flashing in videos or gifs
3. Provide subtitles for videos with dialogue
4. Provide videos with audio description
5. Use #camelCase or #PascalCase in your hashtags

It's very rude of them tbh, and damn if I can remember which axis needs to be rotated 90°... It's like plugging in a USB stick three different ways of wrong

Everyone should be anti-colonialist and anti-zionist. It's a decency baseline.
