If you’re still on Meta first best thing you can do is get off of it. But since this is not always an option you can take steps to de-monetize your data (Also yes the URL is very silly, thanks John Oliver) johnoliverwantsyourraterotica.com

Dice trackers inspired by the 3D printable lap and gate tracker (by @cariwatterton.bsky.social) for Rebellion Unplugged's board game Joyride! Compact trackers to securely hold dice, with labels in Braille (or visually readable text) so anyone can keep them apart. www.printables.com/model/117464...

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

This video was three years in the making. It would mean a lot if you checked it out. I’ve been working with the team at #CallOfDuty to help make #BlackOps6 accessible. It’s got a long way to go but this is the first step in a long process. youtu.be/iIKHoBxewag

From Player Research on Twitter: Game devs & academics: how far are you in the journey of making accessible games? We want to hear from you—no matter how familiar you are with accessibility. Take our survey and discover the results at GAconf Oct 9-10 2023. Boosts appreciated!

Today Player Research announced the launch of their new accessibility initiative. The initiative, called Advancing Accessibility, aims to support developers and publishers wherever they are in their accessibility journey.

Reviewing Stories of Blossom was an absolute delight. It truly shows the dedication to accessibility from the start. Compliments to Soft Leaf Studios! I felt it ticks all of the necessary boxes and then some, with only a few issues I expect may be fixed with a future update.

Also repost from @tarav.bsky.social from Twitter: Report accessibility issues through the Bethesda support! Design struggles, missing features, questions. Nothing too small. I can testify that at Rebellion reporting this way makes a huge difference! help.bethesda.net#en/home/prod...

I'm doing an accessibility panel at EGX this year with the amazing Little MoTAC, The Wobbly Gamer, and my colleagues Adriaan and Edd! Excited for an awesome cast talking about advocacy and accessibility at Rebellion and beyond 🥳

Sea of Thieves will soon include a new accessibility feature called Aim Assist Audio. This aim assist, using a clicking sound, will help blind players independently use their guns, adding to the already impressive accessibility of Sea Of Thieves.

Sea of Thieves continues to grow accessibility. This is really a great effort to improve over the long term. It is rare for developers to provide this level of support for accessibility in an ongoing game. This should be the example for all devs of how to improve over time. Great job

After many years of waiting, #SeaOfThieves introduction of aim assist audio cues means that I can finally snipe skeletons from a ship, without assistance to find my target! Here's a demo from a test voyage I went on with some regular crewmates: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQQe... #Accessibility

Sadly another year, where a potential "game of the year" did not prioritise accessibility. I love #BaldursGate3 a lot. But for a lot of disabled players, it's another game they have to struggle to play. My review: https://youtu.be/_siz72wI03A

Sony’s PlayStation Store page for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 reveals several new accessibility features. Features such as screen reader support, audio descriptions and captions for cinematic scenes, and the ability to slow down the speed of the game!

Mortal Kombat 1 announced they are partnering with Brandon Cole and BlindFGC_Rattlehead on sightless #Accessibility, truly a great sign for WB Games. Embrace accessibility!

I’ve noticed folks here like alt text but sometimes I don’t think the alt text provided is helpful. If you’d like to include helpful alt text on your content, I recommend reading this article. https://webaim.org/techniques/alttext/

For GAAD we had the amazing @black1976.bsky.social give a talk on Motor Accessibility of Sniper Elite 5! His insights were so valuable that we wanted to release the talk publicly so more developers can learn too! Motor Accessibility Review of Sniper Elite 5 by Antonio Martinez | Rebellion
