I have a midrange AMD GPU from '21 and it does whatever it needs to do. There's been zero reason to pay inflated Nvidia prices for years.

It's been a busy awards season already. We take a look at the growing number of accessibility awards in the games industry, and what we have to look forward to next year. Congratulations and thanks to all the winners and nominees for making a difference! caniplaythat.com/2025/12/31/a...

PSA for folks spending New Year in the Netherlands: this is likely the last year people are allowed fireworks so expect a lot more property damage and injuries. Stay safe.

Today's quick project, a knitting fork (or lucet) for my mom. She showed me a few pictures and I whipped up this design for her to try out. I know there's probably loads of models to find, but where's the fun in that? Just a quick vector drawing, some refining of the extruded model, and a 3D print.

Did you know The Disabled Content Creators Collective (@thedc3.bsky.social) have a Disabled Creators' Award? Well now you do! And you still have a chance to vote for your favorite nominees today and tomorrow! To cast your votes, go to this handy link right here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The Roottrees are Dead (@roottrees.com) is an excellent puzzle / logic game to play during the dark days of winter. While certainly not accessible to all, cognitive accessibility is where it sets a standard that many others in the genre can (and should) learn from. caniplaythat.com/2025/12/29/i...

One positive about genAI is that more educators find there is little to no value left in homework assignments. It might accidentally finally rid education of the perverse capitalist normalization of taking work home.

Here’s to 2026

I'd do a welcome Twitter users post, but my profile is different enough to be difficult to find and people won't remember me anyway after this time. But also, I honestly fail to care for people who thought Twitter was still a good or safe place to engage, other than promo cross posting (#nuance).

Never let these people find rest, like the Nazis and collaborators that get confronted with their past even after 80 years.

Christmas cookies incoming 🍪🎄

Pretty sure I'd get in trouble if I brought in falsified statements and / or theatrics in court.

I just posted the final STL file to Printables. It's an easy to print fidget clicker / ring, perhaps a nice stocking stuffer for your neuro-spicy pals. You'll just need to add your own choice of mechanical keyboard switch for that satisfying clicky action. www.printables.com/model/151699...

Mike recently played through Gears of War: Reloaded. With a colorblind mode, QTE customization, a screen reader, and other quality-of-life options helping many disabled players, Mike found the remaster to be the most accessible Gears of War title yet. caniplaythat.com/2025/12/22/g...

Happy solstice, witches!

Summary-shaped text is a great way to describe what is auto-complete gibberish cosplaying as truth.

This dock is really neat. I would've preferred the power cable to be at the rear, but that's about its only drawback. It has fully replaced both Switch docks on my already crowded desk and it's so easy to pick up and take somewhere else.

The j5create Omni Side Dock packs a compatibility punch in a small package. This tiny dock works with the Switches, Ally, and many others. It has some unexpected accessibility benefits as well thanks to its size, ways to connect, and choice of colors. caniplaythat.com/2025/12/19/j...

Waiting for the Christmas miracle of both the Blue Prince and PowerWash Simulator 2 releasing their patches including remapping before the holidays. But also, hope those devs take / get the time off they need.

Do the disabled people who can walk but are required to use a wheelchair when getting assistance "game the system"? Do people who need a wheelchair occasionally? If you saw someone "skip the line", no you didn't.

Congratulations to the teams at @landfall.se and @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social for winning the Achievement in Accessibility award at the Indie Game Awards!

After his initial review, Mike revisited Silent Hill f to see how the combat balancing and new casual combat difficulty mode improve the accessibility for players with limited mobility. These changes were introduced in patch 1.10 last month. caniplaythat.com/2025/12/18/a...

Shit on every company using genAI, no matter how little. "Everyone does it" is no excuse. Do we have to break out the "if everyone jumped off a bridge would you?" that made us roll our eyes at our parents? Need placeholder text? Lorem ipsum. Placeholder art? Stick figures. Need more? Hire artists.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Congratulations to @supermassivegames.bsky.social for Little Nightmares III winning Most Accessible Horror Game at the Horror Game Awards! (@horrorgameawards.bsky.social by @lostincult.co.uk) #HorrorGameAwards

When your first print of your first prototype is nearly perfect... I'm designing and making this simple fidget toy as a Christmas present for my nieces. I'll also share the STL file when it's done.

This is a great idea. Escape rooms can be cognitively intense, and you want to make sure your guests can tackle the challenge in a safe and accessible space.

Congratulations to the teams at ID Software and Bethesda for winning the Innovation in Accessibility award at this year's @thegameawards.com!

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Thank You update (patch 1.5.0) includes new content, but also accessibility features like controller remapping and HUD scaling. There are also new ways to manage your Pictos and Luminas, as well as more supported languages. caniplaythat.com/2025/12/12/c...

My awards prediction is that someone got a lot richer today, while the industry is still in the shitter.

In case you missed the update last week: Keeper now has an adjustable high contrast mode and a Noir Mode. The high contrast mode joins the accessibility features already in Keeper, like remapping, a screen reader, and adjustable text size and weight. caniplaythat.com/2025/12/11/k...

Please share this. My mother has been missing since December 7th. She has severe dementia and we are just praying that she is found safely. www.norwoodnews.org/wakefield-po...

I only just saw the Coca-Cola Christmas commercial and wow. It looks way worse than I expected. Ignoring the dodgy trucks — the animation is inconsistently choppy and there's a bunch of blotches that look like blurred compression artifacts. Imagine having that PR gold and drenching it in AI shit.

The Glydr (@glydrgg.bsky.social) and the Foot Keyboard by Varmilo (shipping soon) have very different approaches to foot control. With benefits for competitive play and accessibility, there's more choice than ever for players looking for foot controls. caniplaythat.com/2025/12/08/n...

Started building a little crimmus build I got last week. Spreading it out over two short sessions because it's just fun to make the process last a bit longer even with small sets like these.

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. caniplaythat.com/2025/12/05/i...

The latest company to screw over consumers in the AI Grift is Micron, which is shuttering Crucial, its excellent bang-for-buck brand of RAM and SSDs. Not that you'd want to buy PC components with the current prices, but still an entirely dick move. For a bubble that can't burst fast enough.

I've never seen the industry so reluctant to spend. I had a company with 9 figures (yes, in USD) in revenue turn down a low five figure quote for a custom solution that would be revenue generating. As a side note, if you're looking for a web swiss army knife, your gal is free in Q1~

Just a few shots of my trip to a Christmas market in Germany (Oberhausen to be specific) last Saturday. It's always a good time, but Essen remains undefeated if you're looking for a great city and Christmas market in that part of Germany.

Mike enjoyed playing through GOTY contender Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. He found the game has accessibility considerations for motion and vision, but despite some options to help with QTEs they can remain a barrier for players with limited mobility. caniplaythat.com/2025/12/04/c...

Last of our first batch of Community Soapbox guests is @radderss.bsky.social, a Twitch Ambassador, content creator for Nothing Without Us, and accessibility consultant. She tells us about the mix of cognitive and physical barriers she experiences while gaming. caniplaythat.com/2025/11/27/r...

Un beau joystick utilisable a une main, avec un second stick au niveau du pouce et 4 boutons. Compatible Xbox adaptive controller et HORI flex controller. #tousgamers

When the shit hits the ventilator...

Marking International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Electronic Arts adds eight more accessibility patents to their patent pledge today, making them free to use. They also open sourced colorblind simulation filters for their accessibility tool Fonttik. caniplaythat.com/2025/12/03/e...

Today’s Community Soapbox highlight features @sightlesskombat.com, an award winning, multi-credited accessibility consultant and gamer without sight. Unsurprisingly, his biggest barriers involve gaming independently with no sight at all. caniplaythat.com/2025/11/27/s...

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Continuing our guest highlights for our new Community Soapbox series with @shellelittle.bsky.social, a senior digital accessibility specialist and game accessibility consultant. They tell us about the mobility and cognitive barriers they experience while gaming. caniplaythat.com/2025/11/27/s...
