Accessibility features in games aren’t just for ‘other people’, you’re probably using them without even realizing it. Key mapping, subtitles, brightness adjustments – these are accessibility options. So next time someone says, ‘I don’t need accessibility features,’ remind them they already do.

I’m happy to have found a little spot to learn and talk about games, GRUX, and other random things! I’d love to connect with as many people in the games/UX/accessibility sphere as I can, so please feel free to say hello!

Some fun facts about me:
- I’m a newlywed
- The first game I fell in love with was LoZ: The Minish Cap (maybe the most underrated Zelda???)
- My career is research but my hobby is art! I love to crochet, paint, write, etc
- I have three kitties that I am obsessed with

Excited to have gotten some followers on Bluesky so I thought I’d introduce myself!

My name is Amanda, I’m a student at University of Michigan studying information science with a focus on UX research. My primary interest is in games user research, particularly relating to accessibility.
