Tomorrow's going to be a very fun day, diving into both @marveltokon.bsky.social (thanks to a free review copy) and #GearsOfWar E-Day's beta, looking at their #accessibility as a gamer without sight! #A11Y

Whilst I wait to play #GearsOfWar E-Day's beta, I've been plugging away at #RhythmHeavenGroove. Almost at the end of unlocking actual new levels/remixes, I think, but this game never ceases to challenge. Surprised Lil Miss Reeds doesn't have her own merch (from what I've seen). #Accessibility #A11Y

I've registered. Have you? Excited to see what this year's edition brings!

The Game Accessibility Conference @gaconf.bsky.social · 5d ago

GAConf USA date is set! Two days of accessibility talks and networking, October 19th & 20th. Fully online across Zoom and Discord. FREE registration open now at www.gaconf.com. Speaker announcements coming soon!

Not long now until I get to record footage of E-Day and see just what #accessibility is available as a gamer without sight. As someone who put countless hours into Gears 5 with regulars, I'm curious but nervous as well given I've seen no official article on the subject for E-Day yet. #A11Y

That moment when you load up a game and it just speaks, with no need for you to enable said narration. Still relatively rare I'd say, but always appreciated. #Accessibility #A11Y

Saw Spider-Man: Brand New Day recently! Really enjoyed it and was great to be able to see this long-awaited movie event with everyone else, even if I needed to get two #audioDescription headsets so I had a backup. Definitely go and see this on the big screen if you can! #audioDescription #SpiderMan

Schedule update Due in part to work commitments, there will unfortunately be no streams from me this week. However, I hope to publish some no commentary footage of the #GearsOfWar E-Day beta once it releases, showing off any #accessibility in action. #A11Y

Are you a #GameDev who has added #accessibility for gamers with no sight whatsoever in to your title? If so, I’d love to hear about your game! Leave info on your game and links etc in the replies so others can find your titles too! #A11Y

Honestly can't quite believe I'm playing Final Fantasy VII! Yes it's through an #accessibility mod, yes it's still in testing and has some... "pain points", but I'm playing #FinalFantasy 7... Finally! Funnily enough, there's a second creator getting ready to release their own mod for it too. #A11Y

Was great to see friend and industry colleague @radderss.bsky.social talking as part of @manycatsstudios.bsky.social's #ImpactDay. Openness and transparency around challenges of being a disabled streamer/content creator is definitely something I'd want to see more of and be a part of sharing too.

Had another brilliant, fun and insightful session as part of my @limitbreak.co.uk mentorship with the wonderful and knowledgable @kigarland.com! Was great to get feedback on practice I did prior to attending #Develop, learn why it worked and how to take those elements forward. #VoiceActing #A11Y

In a change of plans, live now... With a new #RhythmHeavenGroove setup! Let's see if we can get this working! Twitch and YouTube are SightlessKombat #Accessibility #A11Y

As a quick update, there's been a reshuffling of streams as DB is unavailable later today. Today's stream will be #RhythmHeavenGroove and, as a result there'll be no stream on Saturday. Apologies for the last minute change of plans and thanks for your understanding.

With sighted assistance, for @developconference.com, I 3d printed a QR card for my socials, meaning no carrying around loads of business cards. All I had to do was hold up the code and invite people to scan if interested. Probably the most useful thing I've printed so far. #A11Y #Accessibility

This week's schedule, UK date format, times BST: 28/07: #Doom The Dark Ages Revelations W/DB 01/08, 19-21:00: Testing Rhythm Heaven Groove with new setup! #Accessibility #A11Y

Have been trying to get YouTube chat to read automatically during my streams for a while, but thus far haven't been able to. Any content creators multi-streaming and including YouTube in that got any advice/tips/recommendations for what to use so that I can have YT chat read on its own?

Shoutout to all my friends, industry colleagues and anyone else putting alt text in your posts and using it correctly, you make my social media experience so much more fulfilling and informed. Any accounts or individuals who provide good alt text who I should be following if I'm not already?

Live now on Twitch and YouTube! Join me for a very chill, casual #RNIB stream where I take a look at #MarvelTokon's open beta and show off the narration! #A11Y #Accessibility

Enter the afterlife of the gods when God of War Laufey launches on PS5 February 16, 2027 Available to wishlist now: play.st/4wYKQ0N

Would people be interested in an article or something around the life hacks and frustration points of editing content (particularly vertical format) without sight? Have recently improved my workflow and started trying to post more regularly, would be happy to share #accessibility

So pleased to have started up the @marveltokon.bsky.social #OpenBeta to find that it has a screen reader that's read everything I've thrown at it so far, including the tutorial, move lists etc! Though it still has some quirks, this is a massive win for fighting game fans! #Accessibility #A11Y

Thanks to a free review copy, I got to try Halo: Campaign Evolved. It is, unfortunately, not an accessible remake for a gamer without sight. Read my review here: www.sightlesskombat.com/halo-campaig... #A11Y #Accessibility #Halo

This week's schedule, UK date format, times BST: 21/07: No stream (want to make sure my voice is fully rested) 25/07, 19-21:00: Impressions of #MarvelTokkon Open Beta

Pleased to say, after ordering an #Elgato 4kX capture card and chat link pro cable, I've managed to seemingly finally get a #RhythmHeavenGroove setup that lets me play lag free! Also, the Elgato Studio software was relatively accessible for me as well, letting me change the card to analogue audio!

Hiya pals! If anyone has any feedback or experiences with accessibility at this year's Develop please drop me a message! I'll be emailing Tandem at some point in the next couple weeks with accessibility feedback post-conference and want as many opinions and experiences in there as possible

Just to let you all know, my originally planned stream tonight won’t go ahead as I want to try and rest my voice post-Develop. Definitely looking forward to streaming again ASAP though of course! Thank you for your understanding.

After 3 amazing days of #Develop, filled with fantastic insights and connections old and new, I’m returning home to continue my quest for greater #accessibility. there are so many ways to open up your game to even more players and I would love to tell you how! #A11Y

Had a fantastic #developBrighton day 1 yesterday, including chatting #accessibility and #voiceActing with so many wonderful people! Now for day 2! Come and find me and let’s talk! #A11Y

Excited for Day 1 of another Develop Conference in Brighton! Always cool to hear the insights and knowledge being shared, as well as of course chat to people about #accessibility. Who else is going? #A11Y

Currently on my way to Brighton for this year's #Develop Conference! If anyone wants to chat with me about #accessibility and #gaming as a #GamerWithoutSight, please do let me know! #A11Y
