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.

PowerWash Simulator 2 accessibility review - Can I Play That?
PowerWash Simulator 2 continues the relaxing gameplay of the first, but missing remapping and message logs leave a mark on its accessibility.

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.

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.

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.

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.
