If you are in the accessibility space you likely know that the EAA is rolling out and will likely impact any game with communication or micro transactions. Get ahead of this and make your games more accessible today. igda-gasig.org/what-and-why...

I'd love to be included in the hype and AD is a big part of making that happen!
After a successful Pokemon Soul Silver Nuzlocke (hooray!) I will be starting a puzzle game tonight on stream!
@fireproofgames.com are masters at their craft, and I've been chomping at the bit to play the PC release of their newest game: "Ghost Town". Join me in 30 minutes on Twitch! (Link in bio)
Reminder: no stream this evening! I'll see y'all on Wednesday!

Screenshot of a long paragraph of black text on a blue and white gradient background. During Xbox's deep-dive showcase episode, I heard a something that gave me a tiny ray of hope: "That's what we're here for: We want more people to play fighting games". -Mike Willette, (Executive Producer, Invincible VS). In the same show, he'd used "accessibility" to mean "approachability" for newcomers to the genre. But the desire to bring in more players applies to accessibility as well. What better way to appeal to a wider fanbase, than by ensuring it's playable for the world's largest minority? The team is comprised of several veterans from Killer Instinct. KI was widely loved in the blind FGC for its stereo panning, combat pacing, and balanced audio mix. If they can bring these into Invincible VS and add vital accessibility options like menu narration, audio cues, and Audio Descriptions, I believe that would make it the first-ever blind-accessible tag fighter. Let's hope the Invincible VS team are listening, and they follow the examples set by Mortal Kombat 1 and Street Fighter 6!
The 2D fighter genre is one of few which has inherent accessibility for blind players. Here's hoping that the team behind the recently announced "Invincible VS" will build more #Accessibility features in for their fans with visual impairments!

But now I gotta pee. 😑
I did read some of them, but unfortunately did not have time for many!

In sunlight, I'm holding my left hand up with fingers curled toward my palm. The nails extend about 6 millimeters past my fingertip, and are almond shaped. They are partially painted with a natural rosy white, which is lighter than my skin tone. The tips are painted with an opaque black in an exaggerated curve, imitating the white tip normally seen on natural nails. The lines where black meets white are slightly messy up close, and the whole nail is slightly rounded outward with a glossy finish.
My first attempt at a French smile nail polish! Definitely could be cleaner, but I am loving the feeling and durability of builder gel.

On Saturday's stream, I was proud to finally complete my first-ever plathrough of Baldur's Gate III! What a delightful and heartfelt mastercraft of a game.
I do wish it had more #Accessibility options so that more people could play, but I adored the story.
Amazon does indeed offer Audio Description on a lot of their titles! If you ever wanna look up the availability of a movie/show, check out the ACB's master list: adp.acb.org/masterad.html

A 3-tiered shelf display sits on a white table in front of a white wall. Each tier is a 1 foot by 1 foot square of wood, and holds several rows of cupcakes. The top and bottom shelves contain brown cupcakes with pink frosting, a lacy red cupcake holder, and a cherry on top. The middle shelf holds light cupcakes with a lacy white cupcake holder, and the tops dominated by 1 or 2 flowers. The flowers are various shades of orange and yellow, with dozens of long narrow petals fanned around the center. Several more flowers are placed in between cupcakes on the shelves of the display, and loose petals are scattered on the rustic beige table runner beneath them.
A zoomed out photo showing two of the 3-tiered shelves beside one another on the same table. The left one has shelves of the flower cupcakes on the top and bottom, with the red cupcakes in the middle. The right one is inverted, with two shelves of the red cupcakes and one of the flowery ones. Three plastic signs sit upright on the table, showing a diagram of the two differen types of cupcakes. The flower ones are vanilla bean, while the red ones are chocolate. The yellow and orange flower petals are scattered all around the table.
A close up of the cherry chocolate cupcake sitting on a white countertop. The pink frosting is swirled in the center of the dark brown cupcake, with raised ridges. A shiny red cherry with its stem removed sits on top, and a thin line of dark chocolate is drizzled in a zig-zag overtop of the entire thing. Red paper is intricately cut in a lace pattern, and wrapped around the lower part of the cupcake to cover its baking wrapper.
A close up of 2 of the vanilla bean cupcakes sitting on a white countertop. Each has a low swirl of ridged white frosting visible around the edge of the cupcake, largely concealed by the yellow and orange petals of the flowers atop them. Each flower is almost as large as the entire surface of the cupcake, its petals reaching almost to the edge of the intricate lacy white cupcake holder.
Here are some lovely cupcakes that I baked for a wedding last weekend! The flowery ones are vanilla bean, with IMBC frosting and real vanilla beans in both the frosting and batter. The red ones are cherry chocolate, with cherry + dark chocolate batter, and "pastry pride" frosting with cherry compote

A photo of me under a clear blue sky, in full sunlight on a sidewalk. I'm wearing lavender leggings and a green shirt, holding a 3 foot tall plastic sign. Red and blue text printed on the sign reads, "military veteran. I fought for freedom not fascism!"
Today I joined a match with @50501movement.bsky.social in an effort to take back our nation's democracy!
