PSA for any blind/VI fans of markiplier: Unfortunately, the new Iron Lung film does not appear to have #AudioDescription or Assistive Listening available. It's such a shame, because it was an excellent film, and I loved it! But I just can't recommend it without AD. 😥🩸

Today is the day! The ceremony for the 2025 GAConf Awards airs 10am PST / 1pm EST / 6pm GMT, celebrating accessibility excellence across 20 categories. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqV_... Also showing on IGN! #gamedev #indiedev #accessibility

According to my local theater, #IronLungMovie does have #AudioDescription, #ClosedCaptions, and #AssistiveListening available! I will be watching the premiere this Friday, and will post about the Audio Description! Currently the film is only available in the US. #A11y

We have the details on when and where to watch the GAconf Awards 2025 (@gaconf.bsky.social), with captions and separate streams with BSL, ASL, or audio description. Spoiler: tune in January 29, at 10am PST (6pm GMT) to find out who came out on top this year! caniplaythat.com/2026/01/14/w...

It's my favorite time of year: watching all my required tax documents become available, well after their deadlines, whilst I desperately try to remember which ones I need to chase down this year!

Rant: I am proving rather unlucky with home ownership. My condo is now in its 4th instance of major water damage in the 3.5 years I've lived here. 2 times has been my upstairs neighbor's fault, 2 times it's been the building's fault. 😒

Unfortunately stream tonight is cancelled. I am yet again having to deal with water damage in my condo. Cheers to getting a bit of my ceiling ripped out tomorrow!!

Live now for my final stream of 2025 with #BaldursGate3, alongside the fantastic Jenna! Join us on Twitch and YouTube to see how Eir and company get on after the events of the previous episode! #Accessibility #A11Y

Rip and tear, until the presents are open! youtu.be/483jgECM1YU?...

Just to follow up on this post of controller hunting woes: my answer turned out to be the @asusrog.bsky.social Raikiri II! No disconnects, no missed inputs, and no mandatory wired requirement for Xbox.

Heads-up gamers! 🎮 @thegameawards is premiering TONIGHT December 11, at 7:30pm ET/4:30pm PT on @YouTube with #AudioDescription! Take part in the fun by going to the link below! youtube.com/live/RzwMieh... #TheGameAwards #gaming #a11y

During the Xbox Partner Preview a couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of writing the #AudioDescription for the trailers that were included. Below is a thread with a few of my favorites! Tip: Enable the AD by selecting the Settings Cog, then set "English Descriptive" as the audio track!

Traveling pro tip: travel sized deodorant and toothpaste is usually unnecessary when flying in the USA. The regular sizes for these are typically below the limit of 3.5 ounces. No need to buy a whole separate travel size!

The American Council of the Blind (ACB) and its Audio Description Project (ADP) hosted the 5th Annual Audio Description Awards Gala last week. Descriptive Video Works is honored to have taken home the Award for "Live Events." For more information, please visit: www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

terribly sorry, but I need to cancel tonight's stream! 😞 Sorry. It's been a draining day and I'm exhausted!

This week's schedule! UK date format, times GMT: 13/11, 19-22:00: #RNIB) Baldur's Gate 3 (session 0) W/Jennissary! 16/11, 16-18:00: #Gears5. Stream with DB to be confirmed. #A11Y #GamerWithoutSight #Accessibility

For #VeteransDay today, how about a little good news? Since the VA started tracking homelessness among veterans in 2010, their actions have led to a 55.6% reduction in homeless vets (as of 2024). To my fellow vets, make sure you're getting any and all benefits you're entitled to!

If I could distill the main theme song from the Great British Baking Show into a draught, I would carry it on me at all times. #GBBO

I have unilaterally and impulsively decided to play some #Helldivers2 tonight, with my lovely husband Ben! Come join us on Twitch!

I sat down with Angeles (blind gamer and beauty streamer) and her husband Hominid Digital (gaming YouTuber), to chat about the #AudioDescription industry, our pet peeves, and gaming accessibility! Warning: it gets a lil bit spicy near the end!

My internet white whale is the UK Audio Description version of "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves". There is, apparently, a version where the AD is narrated by the fabulous Sue Perkins, and I cannot find it anywhere. It's not on any US-based streaming services. It's not on the UK DVD. 😖

This is apparently relevant for next week… But what could it mean? Incidentally… What class would you want to see me play out of these? Credit to @jennissary.bsky.social for the image! #Accessibility #A11Y #BG3 #RNIB

Been a bit since I've streamed (sorry!!) but I'm back on tonight at 8pm pacific, 11pm eastern! I'll be playing more Talos Principle II, a philosophical puzzle game, to unwind and have fun. Come along to hear about my Halloween costume, and see the cool Fallout merch I got!

Next Tuesday is gonna be fucking wild, man. #governmentshutdown #SNAP #veteranmemes

Me, when a cloud service I have no control over is running slightly slower than usual.

Am I doomed to purchasing a new Xbox controller annually, or is there a durable brand out there? Currently I have an Xbox pro elite, whose grips have torn off after 10 months of heavy daily use. Currently held together with rubber bands and duct tape.

Home from a lovely Twitch Con, and as always the highlight was the drag queen makeup showcase! We were lucky enough to go home with an incredible haul of @trixiemattel.bsky.social makeup, and loved getting to see how to utilize it to it's fullest!

I will be attending #TwitchCon this Saturday!! I can't miss the Drag Queen makeup tutorials, the speedruns, and of course the Accessibility community meetup! HMU if you'll be there, and we can say hello in person!

Not me frantically researching how to make BIOS security changes, so that I can install Windows 11 on my gaming rig the day after W10 support expires... 👀

Sorry for all the inconsistency with schedule changes! Here's when my streams will be for this month:

Another delightful #GAConf, thanks to the incredible dedication of Tara/Max/Ian, volunteers, the Archer hotel, speakers, and everyone who attended. Thank you all so much for ensuring this event remains easy and fun every year!

Happy #GAConf US Day 1 everyone! Whether you're watching live or catching up later, I hope you all have another great Game #Accessibility Conference! If you want to discuss gaming without sight (having never had any sight whatsoever), feel free to reach out and let me know! #A11Y

Woohoo! Yep, that's us! 🥰

They make my breath so stinky but I can't stop.

Instead of the usual lovely Talos Principle II tonight, I'll be playing @helldivers2 ! I just unlocked an exosuit, and I am LOVING it! Live now! (link in bio)

New nails for New nails leading up to spooky season!! These are gel nails over Apres tips that I did entirely myself.

Fuck yeah, Justice Department! I feel like every service dog handler I know has an Uber service denial story. And it is absolutely exhausting to have to consider whether a lawsuit is a probable outcome, every time you need a ride somewhere. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justi...

Unity is expanding support for native screen readers, making it easier for developers to implement screen reader support for blind accessibility on more platforms. After Android and iOS, starting with Unity 6.3 it supports Windows and MacOS as well. caniplaythat.com/2025/09/05/u...

I am having WAY too much playing #Helldivers2 with Ben, so tonight's stream will be a surprise change to some bug hunting! Come help this newbie out! Link in bio, live in 30 minutes!

Ready for day 2 of the xbox at gamescom broadcast, with #AudioDescription by @dvworks.bsky.social ? Here's the link! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pINP...

Mild Pokemon Go rant: I currently have 6 Pokemon that I can't evolve because they need Sinnoh stones. I've been trying for months lol. I always hit my 7-day streaks on Pokestops and Research breakthroughs, which give evolution items. But it's never a Sinnoh Stone! 😞

Reminder: No stream tonight! I will resume playing The Talos Principle II this Saturday at 8pm Pacific (11pm Eastern)!

The Xbox at gamescom broadcast from the show floor starts in just 1 hour! Watch it with #AudioDescription at the link below! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MATR...
