We need to stop perpetuating the myth that accessibility is always more expensive.
Accessibility often does not cost any more when it is built in from the start.

Do not cram alt text with keywords just to improve search engine optimization. This will hinder alt text’s true purpose: improving accessibility. Focus on describing the photo's content. Search engine optimization should not be the goal for writing good alt text.

I’ve been playing Rhythm Doctor with a Xbox Adaptive Controller and I feel like this game was made to be played with this controller. The A button on the XAC is so big and clicky, it’s like you’re playing a drum with the soundtrack. 🥁☺️

Picked up a pair of third-party mouse molds for Switch 2, and they immediately fixed our hand cramp issues with playing Metroid Prime 4 in Mouse Mode. With these, playing first-person shooters (and slower strategy fare) on the Switch 2 using mouse controls might actually be viable! Sweeeeeet

I’m concerned from an accessibility perspective with the announcement that RE9’s gameplay styles will switch back-and-forth throughout the game between Leon and Grace. If a player with disabilities only finds one gameplay style accessible, this could lead them to not being able to complete the game.
