It's me, I'm Dutch and sleepy. Go follow @caniplaythat.com where I try to keep up on the news and more all year. #GAAD is ironically very inaccessible for neurospicy folk like me, with everything happening all at once.

Hospital vampires struck blood in just two attempts today, kudos to them. You can't just stab me and expect I bleed.

The 24 hour race on the Nürburgring is absolutely fascinating, and a great way to spend your evening not watching the genocide song festival.

Huge project coming together to help disabled gamers! my charity, thecontrollerproject.com , will be releasing a big project to make sip and puff gaming more approachable and affordable. #gaming #disabledgamers #disabled #videogames #disabledgaming #quadgaming #quadstick

Apparently it's leg day, as by 11am I've already relocated a spooder and a centipede from the house to the garden (close to the shed so they can choose their preferred biome).

I can accept XBox instead of Xbox, as the capitalization makes some sense like in PlayStation. But I'm not going to change to all caps for something that is not an acronym, and readability overrules corporate folly when it comes to accessibility.

Have you seen this Game Jam that's running over on itch 👀 The team behind r/myrpg put this together to help us bring accessibility conversation to more people in the tabletop space! If you're an indie dev who wants to add your project to the Jam, be sure to do so before the deadline of May 23rd ✍️

Today's 3D design and print: a small bracket to hold the 2.4G dongle for the mouse I'm reviewing.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight releases next week, and publisher WB Games have released an impressive list of accessibility features that will be available at launch (and mentions screen reader support is planned for a later patch). caniplaythat.com/2026/05/14/w...

Supermassive Games released their latest game Directive 8020 a few days ago. On the same day they shared details about the accessibility features available to you in this latest entry in The Dark Pictures series. caniplaythat.com/2026/05/14/d...

I'm asked if I agree to share medical records with other medical professionals if requested. For several reasons I have no issue with it, most of them are selfish as doctors need to be able to make sense of my medical history. But AI is a hard line, especially for things that have non-AI solutions.

Mike found that the horrors in Resident Evil Requiem are (mostly) limited to the zombies and not its accessibility. Especially for players with limited mobility the customizable controls and aim assist help you survive your return to Raccoon City. caniplaythat.com/2026/05/11/r...

I maintain that the starting years of "millenials" is years too early, and this list of songs I probably recognize when heard but not by artist / title only only strengthens that belief.

Accessibility features of Wax Heads were shared by the developers on Xbox Wire this week. A lot is intended to be accessible by design, with some options to help people make the most of the game that released on Steam and consoles this week. caniplaythat.com/2026/05/08/a...

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced releases on July 9, and Ubisoft is once again quick to share accessibility details in a spotlight. It's a huge list with new, returning, and improved features that will help many players experience this remake. caniplaythat.com/2026/05/07/u...

As of today, I’m a published author! Find out more in the quoted thread and at accessibilityethics.org #DigitalAccessibilityEthics

Warning! You might see posts in the wild claiming "Hogwarts Legacy is free right now!" but this is malware, if you try and run it, it'll install Hogwarts Legacy on your PC.

If there are any media, PR, journalism folks looking for more disabled creators to contact and include - over the years I put together a database with names, links, channels, disabilities. Please feel free to peruse and use! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

If Sephiroth can give us those gas prices over here I'm willing to hear him out. Converting today's average price is 10.50 USD/gallon. But then again it hasn't really been much below 9 USD/gallon since the start of the year.

“Sometimes you stumble into a game with just the right amount of heart and message that you know will stay with you for a while. Something with a bit of representation that is a rarity and hits close to home. Find Your Words is one of those games.” caniplaythat.com/2026/04/27/i...

I would have died several times, so probably not much.

The playground today, helping wire in some additional lights on not-my-car. These newfangled cars have absolutely zero space to do anything, as evidenced by my arms which are so scratched up like I stuck them in a nest of angry cat-bee hybrids.

Been quiet on work for ages BUT big news! I wrote the chapter The Future of Game Accessibility is Grounded in Ethics for a brilliant book providing a framework for ethical accessibility Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech is out May 6th #DigitalAccessibilityEthics

Blue Prince Patch 1.7 released for Steam on PC today, very appropriately called the accessibility update. It finally adds remapping to the game, but also color assist options to help colorblind players, and motion assist options to avoid motion sickness. caniplaythat.com/2026/04/29/b...

Rollick N' Roll by @crayonixgames.com turns a simple concept into an intriguing challenge: Guiding vehicles along a track safely. Manipulating obstacles on time gets tricky, but the game's accessibility features help you manage that challenge. caniplaythat.com/2026/04/29/i...

Find Your Words is a lovely short experience that revolves around non-verbal communication and has a good bit of accessibility baked in. As usual there are a few things that could improve, but as it is available for free, there's no risk trying it out! caniplaythat.com/2026/04/27/i...

What is the "close call" part of someone shooting a fed in the padding and getting arrested?

The Game Accessibility Guidelines have been put together by game studios, specialists and academics. While they are not an official set of standards or documents, they are a collection of tips and techniques to help developers make games more inclusive. gameaccessibilityguidelines.com

Carousels are notoriously inaccessible, this hides photos, and in general introducing horizontal scrolling segments in a vertical scrolling interface is a bad user experience. Just keep the grid, it works for many reasons. To see a photo in all its glory, you still need to click it.

Unauthorized access would be very strange as the outage was self inflicted. Also, the status page seems to be down right now...

I don't partake, so feel free to take my portion today / everyday.

White men have gone abroad to find women to oppress for centuries, this is nothing new. The Venn-diagram of these men and those that blame everything on everyone not like them is a circle.

Tiny dashes of color, and a small leggy friend.

Coming to you live (albeit tired) from Eurosky, I hear I'm in good company.

"U.S. suggests" hasn't been followed up by anything credible for a while, but I guess U.S. lies isn't quite a click-worthy "scoop" anymore. Also, is he sprouting cat ears or the worst horns in history?

#interfaceX26 is a new event/sale on steam starting Apr 27, all about games with fake/simulated interfaces! my triple-award-nominated game "an unplayable game?!" is a part of it, but it's free so I can't really discount it lol but if you like the concept, check out all these cool #fakeos games!!!

Encountered another instance of tech excluding those with a facial difference. I don't know which identity verification provider this was, and as it wasn't for an essential service I didn't think to look further. But what if this was an essential service?

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment. Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here: www.inprnt.com/gallery/phin...
