They're probably not for me, and that's okay! More choice is better for players, and (depending on pricing) I can see these being the right choice for a lot of people.

An evening meeting was cancelled (yay), so I'm spending that time in a hot bubbly bath instead.

For better or worse, every word I write is free from AI — don't let my recently discovered appreciation of the em dash fool you!

People often blame screen readers for memes or posts being inaccessible. But frustrations with how screen readers work don't let us off the hook. We should still try. Adrian Roselli has a great resource on what screen readers are (and aren't). adrianroselli.com/2021/10/blam...

The amount of crunch in my neck and shoulder today would make the cap'n jealous.

My best advice for becoming a digital accessibility specialist is to make it your job, regardless of your title. Making a presentation? Putting together a design? Building something in code? In anything you do, be curious about what it takes to make it more accessible

For this Indie Spotlight Marijn played An Unplayable Game?! Limited controls and a few assists turn this free game into a thoughtful exercise in accessible game design. Showing that accessibility isn't about removing challenge, but making it possible. caniplaythat.com/2025/11/11/i...

Alt text on their social media posts. Alt text of quoted tweet: Black text on a white background reading "All video games should have", followed by a line inviting you to complete the sentence.

Was getting excited seeing an update for PowerWash Simulator 2 today, but sadly no remapping (yet). Read my review to learn why I've not been playing it as much as I'd like. caniplaythat.com/2025/10/30/p...

Gave my tiny backpack of a car a smol, relatively cheap, but noticeable audio upgrade. These speakers give a much fuller and more clear sound than the default paper cones.

As much of the world bends towards machine-made slop designed to keep you scrolling so they can serve you ads, there is something very healing about going outside, wearing a costume that I made with my own hands, and working together with an artist like @worldofgwendana.bsky.social to tell a story.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Just realized it's been about 5 years since I got rid of my homegrown teeth. It took a year of doctors discussing and planning before they went ahead. It would be another year before I had my implants and final prosthetics. One of the best decisions of my life, well worth the risks.

Sunk cost fallacy investors and brain rotted tech bros are not everyone. The bubble / pyramid scheme built on stolen property and empty promises can't collapse quick enough.

Recently SensePilot, the app enabling users to control keyboard and mouse inputs using head and face movement, added voice recognition to its features. Other new features since our preview include dwell clicking and mouse movement using facial gestures. caniplaythat.com/2025/11/07/s...

Oh shit, its Mega Mega Meganium

Ableism, racism, sexism. The response to a photo tells more about the recruiter's personality.

Oh shit, its Mega Mega Meganium

Thanks to mods created by Lirin with help from others on the AudioGames.net forums, there are now blind accessibility mods for Hades II. Among other things, the mods add screen reader support allowing blind players to play through the game. caniplaythat.com/2025/11/06/b...

Put the pronouns on shuffle lets goooo

Autistic ways of saying “I love you” (that you might miss): - “I researched your problem. Here are your options” - “I made a spreadsheet/ list/ plan to help you” - being ourselves around you (infodumping, not masking etc) - “Here’s a meme that I think you’d like” #AutismAwareness

Cloud Streaming arrives on PlayStation Portal today, along with a screen reader and adjustable text size in its accessibility options. 3D Audio is now also available for Cloud Streaming and Remote Play. caniplaythat.com/2025/11/05/n...

Huh, looks like this democracy thing might actually work. GG America, keep it up.

One of the most casually insulting things LinkedIn does is implying CEOs are somehow inherently intelligent. Compare me with the weird nerd in the mailroom whose work benefits a company more.

Developer @triangularpixels.com highlighted accessibility features of their VR title Unseen Diplomacy 2, currently in early access. It includes features to more comfortably play with limited mobility, or with cognitive, audio, and visual accessibility needs. caniplaythat.com/2025/11/04/t...

Windows might actually start doing the shut down bit of the update and shut down option. If they stopped trying to shove copilot down our throats every time we look away, that would be nice too. Shut down that nonsense for once.

Well, tone of the ttrpg writing/designing contract gigs I was on just went up in smoke for reasons outside of my control. So, yeah if anyone has leads on a full time job; HMU in DM's? In the meantime throwing means of support out. Again. JFC

I don't know how or why a sports lasted a week... But I do know I was rooting for the Canadian birbs.

I think Sauron and Boromir fundamentally agreed on the dark realm’s accessibility problem, which is the great irony of the orcs thinking he was naming it Mordor when he was in fact asking for more doors, so one could simply walk into it.

Not engaging with the yellow paint article. How it's presented looks like a regurgitation of a drawn out — died and dug up again — discourse that only serves to bait some clicks.

If you are showing something at the Game Awards, please please please make sure your accessibility teams review any video assets queued up for photosensitive triggers and appropriately-sized subtitles, pls & thank u 🥹🙏🏻

I'm both a bit sad, but also relieved that Halloween hasn't been a thing here until recently. It would've been a lot of fun, but with a face like mine I also know I would've gotten annoying remarks leading up to it. A facial difference isn't scary, a costume, or a punchline for an offensive joke.

PowerWash Simulator 2 continues the relaxing and accessible gameplay of the first. But Marijn found that missing remapping and message logs leaves a mark on its accessibility. Updates may add these back in, but they should have been included at launch. caniplaythat.com/2025/10/30/p...

The latest Atomfall update adds phobia safe modes to the game, swapping aggressive animals for savory snacks with a bite to them. There's also a new fast travel system to discover, along with some other smaller improvements and fixes. caniplaythat.com/2025/10/29/a...

Voted for the gazillionth time in too few years, hoping for something that resembles a government now. Hoping, but not expecting. Our system beats the US' two-party nonsense, but 27 parties participating (of which 15 are currently in the house of representatives) is its own brand of ridiculous.

Scopely shared the story behind the Axel skin in Stumble Guys. Axel, who uses a wheelchair, was inspired by a visit from avid Stumble Guys player Fayçal. There, he had one important question: why isn’t there a skin in a wheelchair in the game, like me? caniplaythat.com/2025/10/29/s...

I was invited onto the rad podcast, Design Downtime, to talk about my passions outside of work to fight back against grind culture and slow work burn out. I obviously picked my special interest Minecraft. Huge thanks to @guysegal.com for having me on and for hosting such an important podcast!

Typical Ea-nāṣir, trying to offload his sub-par big bars.

Curious how a man with so little peen desires so much ballroom...

Have I missed something or did @futurlab.co.uk really not include remapping in Power wash Simulator 2?! This is such a basic accessibility feature, and was available in the first one. No game is worth discomfort or frustration, and this is causing both. Really disappointing.

Nintendo shared an hour long Kirby Air Riders Direct which included a lot of insights to its accessibility. Director Masahiro Sakurai demonstrated a focus on player choice and comfort, and showcased exemplary accessibility features for a Switch 2 title. caniplaythat.com/2025/10/23/n...

Mike found that the adjustable difficulty for combat and puzzles in Silent Hill f help players who need a more forgiving experience. Remapping, adjustable subtitles, and other features and design choices improve the accessibility for many players. caniplaythat.com/2025/10/23/s...

Got my flu topped up for the season. 💉

Ninja Gaiden 4 does some things right, but how it punishes players who need to use one or more of its assists overshadows everything. Locking players out of scores and into a single difficulty mode is an accessibility low point that's hard to ignore. caniplaythat.com/2025/10/20/n...

Even just a little bit into Pokémon Legends Z-A I am enjoying it. Nintendo does need to get its remapping act together, as this game too fails on that baseline accessibility feature. The need to hold ZL during fights can be tricky too, as is the real-time battling for those with limited mobility.

This administration is a collection of trolls that can do nothing more than try to "own the libs". This is an easy block, and in so doing, we could make them the most blocked account on this site. That's a fun group activity, right? Journos join us, you know they ain't taking this seriously.

Don’t make me tap the sign.
