Estoy en la sierra con mis sobrinas y una de ellas mira a las montañas y dice con total admiración: “¡Hala, mira las montañas, parecen hechas con inteligencia artificial!” 🫠🫠

Vaya. No sé si es cosa mía, pero me ha parecido que algo se movía en Biotopía.

Esta es una pérdida muy significativa para la industria. La mayor motivación de Vince era hacer juegos con mayúscula. Juegos que gusten a la gente. Estaba súper ilusionado con el trabajo de Battlefield 6. Tristísimo.

Voy a soñar viejísimo pero ¿alguien me puede explicar que tiene de especial el chocolate Dubai para que esté en todas partes y a precio de oro? Porque lo he probado y la verdad es que no me ha parecido nada del otro jueves, pero igual se me escapa algo.

Esto lo he contado alguna vez pero las cosas táctiles son un retroceso de accesibilidad enorme.

Gente ciega que conozco ha tenido que colocar pegatinas rugosas en los botones de la vitro porque literalmente se juegan tener un accidente.

Lo táctil es muy bonito y tal pero nada accesible.
Si si, por ejemplo en correos en salamanca la pantalla está altísima y los números super lejos. Y para sacarlos la pantalla es táctil, que ya me dirás cómo puede una persona ciega o con visión reducida saber dónde pulsar. Yo ahí no entiendo que no tengan un sistema más inclusivo.

The Plants vs Zombies: RePlanted team has been working hard on making this version stand out from the original, and one of those aspects is adding new accessibility features! Kudos to The Lost Pixels team, thrilled to see their advocacy and efforts pay off!
Update 1.4.0 for Plants vs. Zombies Replanted adds a high contrast mode to the game, as well as game speed options which can lower or increase the game's speed.

Other accessibility improvements include a screenshake toggle and a Sun Vacuum feature.

La verdad es que da gusto ver. Ojo los equipos se implican con la accesibilidad, toman en serio tus sugerencias y van más allá de hacer un simple port. The Lost Pixels se lo ha currado y se merecen éxito ❤️

FC 26 is nominated for the Innovation in Accessibility Award! Congrats to everyone at EA SPORTS for this major recognition.

Ubisoft, Rebellion, Bethesda, and Compulsion are champions for accessibility, and to be amongst them is an honor. But real winners here are gamers with disabilities ♿️✨

Es un plomazo ver que la gente con más talento que conozco siempre está al borde o por debajo del umbral de pobreza :[

Y que pasan los siglos y no terminamos de arreglar esto, oye. Que el dinero lo acumulan charlatanes, enteraos y papanatas, y a la gente que aporta bien al mundo le dan por saco.
