For this Indie Spotlight Marijn played An Unplayable Game?!

Limited controls and a few assists turn this free game into a thoughtful exercise in accessible game design. Showing that accessibility isn't about removing challenge, but making it possible.

Was getting excited seeing an update for PowerWash Simulator 2 today, but sadly no remapping (yet).

Read my review to learn why I've not been playing it as much as I'd like.

Gave my tiny backpack of a car a smol, relatively cheap, but noticeable audio upgrade. These speakers give a much fuller and more clear sound than the default paper cones.

As much of the world bends towards machine-made slop designed to keep you scrolling so they can serve you ads, there is something very healing about going outside, wearing a costume that I made with my own hands, and working together with an artist like @worldofgwendana.bsky.social to tell a story.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Just realized it's been about 5 years since I got rid of my homegrown teeth.

It took a year of doctors discussing and planning before they went ahead. It would be another year before I had my implants and final prosthetics.

One of the best decisions of my life, well worth the risks.

Sunk cost fallacy investors and brain rotted tech bros are not everyone.

The bubble / pyramid scheme built on stolen property and empty promises can't collapse quick enough.
Everyone is obsessed with artificial general intelligence—the stage when AI can match all feats of human cognition. The guy who named it saw it as a threat.

Recently SensePilot, the app enabling users to control keyboard and mouse inputs using head and face movement, added voice recognition to its features.

Other new features since our preview include dwell clicking and mouse movement using facial gestures.

Ableism, racism, sexism. The response to a photo tells more about the recruiter's personality.

Autistic ways of saying “I love you” (that you might miss):

- “I researched your problem. Here are your options”

- “I made a spreadsheet/ list/ plan to help you”

- being ourselves around you (infodumping, not masking etc)

- “Here’s a meme that I think you’d like”

One of the most casually insulting things LinkedIn does is implying CEOs are somehow inherently intelligent.

Compare me with the weird nerd in the mailroom whose work benefits a company more.

Developer @triangularpixels.com highlighted accessibility features of their VR title Unseen Diplomacy 2, currently in early access.

It includes features to more comfortably play with limited mobility, or with cognitive, audio, and visual accessibility needs.

Windows might actually start doing the shut down bit of the update and shut down option.

If they stopped trying to shove copilot down our throats every time we look away, that would be nice too. Shut down that nonsense for once.

Well, tone of the ttrpg writing/designing contract gigs I was on just went up in smoke for reasons outside of my control. So, yeah if anyone has leads on a full time job; HMU in DM's?

In the meantime throwing means of support out. Again. JFC

I think Sauron and Boromir fundamentally agreed on the dark realm’s accessibility problem, which is the great irony of the orcs thinking he was naming it Mordor when he was in fact asking for more doors, so one could simply walk into it.
