And rightfully so. This may end up being one of the biggest steps backwards in disability rights history. Please read, call your representatives, and share with others. www.npr.org/2026/06/20/n...

dude we are so f*cked — I just got “excited” to see an advertisement for a product I give no shit about with a real person acting in it going “you go girl! Get that paycheck!” Meanwhile, AI-generated ads are making me actively unlikely to ever buy the advertised product/service.
If you've been playing Forza Horizon 6, the team is looking for accessibility feedback! The link to the survey was shared in an in-game message, but it's easy to miss (we did too). Click here to get to the survey: aka.ms/FH6survey

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...

Representation like this matters because it goes beyond access, it creates belonging. For so long, Deaf audiences have experienced stories through interpretation layered on top. This brings ASL directly into THE storytelling, allowing Deaf viewers to see themselves reflected in the music.

In the last month, I decided I would catch up on the Silent Hill games I haven't played: #SilentHill2 and #SilentHillF and wow. I rarely take the time anymore to just sit down and enjoy a single-player experience, letting myself be immersed in a world of both beauty and decay. Strongly recommend.
Epomaker sent us a Magcore 65 Lite to review. It proved a very interesting keyboard. It showcases the accessibility potential of inductive switches, which allow for responsiveness and customization that traditional mechanical keyboards can't touch. caniplaythat.com/2026/02/24/e...

I'm on the last stretch of puzzles in ChromaGun 2, after which I'll share my complete thoughts in my fuill review. But I can already say the team did a great job with the colorblind accessibility, and also the cognitive accessibility despite the deceptive difficulty of the game.
Can I Play That?@caniplaythat.com · 6mo agoAhead of today’s launch of ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard, we had the chance to ask some questions about the game and its (colorblind) accessibility features to Ben Lochmann, CEO of developer @pixel-maniacs.bsky.social. Also stay tuned for our full review of the game soon! caniplaythat.com/2026/02/12/c...
Just had to spend $700 on new computer parts, so if any publication wants me to write for them, I would VERY much like some work!
I think our country (Canada) would be better if sports bars showed curling (olympics or not) and if everyone there reacted as passionately as when we do during the NHL playoffs. HYPE IT UP FAM 🥌🥌🥌
Hello hello! For Access Granted, I'm looking to speak with disabled couples on how they play games. How do you and your partner(s) play with your disabilities? What games/accessibility tools are best for you and your partner(s)?
Heya, it's #HorrorRecommendation o'clock! 👻 Here's 'Burnt Offerings' (1976), featuring Karen Black, Oliver Reed, and Bette Davis (amongst others). If you like Amityville, The Shining, Legend of Hell House or the ''malevolent/haunted house'' trope... you're in for a nice twisty treat. More below.
Just stumbled upon this gem about the accessibility journey of #CandyCrushSaga! We don't often get insider perspectives from leadership, so I'm grateful that Abigail Rindo (Head of Creative @ King) took the time to have this chat. shout out @neilchughes.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJMb...

The best compliment we could have received this year! What would have been unthinkable even 5 years ago, is now considered "standard" from us by our audience <3 There is still a ton of work to do to improve the #a11y of our games. Meanwhile, I'm going to savour this milestone over the break
Lacy@lovelyandjubbly.bsky.social · 8mo agoI have no real personal investment in any of the categories this year. I haven't played many new games this year aside from AC Shadows and, while I loved it, I wasn't really rooting for it in accessibility as it was pretty standard for a Ubisoft game accessibility-wise.
