Hi all, currently transitioning over in between work shifts. Will probably be reposting a few of my old tweets to pad out my profile and show I’m not a bot to folks. Just a heads up. :)
Hope to find people again soon!

Please tag me if you see any anime that appears to plainly be using AI transcriptions for closed captions. That's CLOSED CAPTIONS (SDH) for ENGLISH DUBS, not subtitles for Japanese audio. I wanna publicly keep track of some of these and start holding platforms accountable.

Carlos is back with another Indie Spotlight, this time about Dispatch.
He found that the game has accessibility options to help players with QTEs and colorblindness for example, but timed dialogue choices are a barrier for players with limited mobility.

So, fun fact: licensors are notoriously protective of their brands, and will take literal months at times to ensure that every single aspect of a title is being presented properly. You can't even SNEEZE without telling the licensor.
