Hello fellow nerds! I've got a hypothesis about the intersectionality of gamers and disabilities I'm trying to test. Even if you're not a gamer or disabled, please take 10 minutes and fill this out!

MasterCard is marketing its new MasterCard Threat Intelligence platform to issuers & acquirers. A source familiar w/ MasterCard’s internal operations told me MTI is flagging anime, VTubing, adult content, tabletop, video games as potentially “high fraud risk”

Conflating machine learning tools with GenAI and LLMs are such a favorite of these bad faith arguments, too. Like, machines studying X-rays to better understand cancer is not the same thing as Open AI swallowing all my books via piracy to regurgitate sentences that sound similar. It's just not.

ALT Text benefits everyone

Alt text helps with accessibility, identifying/explaining elements you might not get to in your posts and makes your posts/work more discoverable - Make sure to toggle it on to “require alt text” in your settings

I’m really glad that SQUEX is strongly considering accessibility, but let’s talk about why this email is… not a great idea. I’m not trying to be rude to any specific company, but this shows a lack of understanding. Let’s dive in. 1/?
Email from the FanFest committee about accessibility. It reads: “Welcome to Final Fantasy Fan Fest 2026! Upon your ticket purchase you requested ADA accommodations, we will reach out to you by phone to start this process we will need the following information: Name of Attendee receiving accommodations and pronouns: Best number to call: Best time to Call (with time zone): Any comments:…”

The best way journalists can support indie games is to cover more than whatever the current indie hits/darlings of the moment are. Games like Hades, Blue Prince, and Silksong do not need help with visibility, but discoverability is the biggest challenge facing many indie devs today.

As a blind person and accessibility advocate, finding long term employment has been near impossible, often times, companies trot us in at the last minute, long after anything we suggest could actually be fixed, pay us for an hour or two, and send us on our way. 1/7

@fisherfruity.bsky.social new board game where you explore an exoplanet... and fishing is one of the ways to win the game (along with exploring, or personal growth, etc).

FISHING WIN CONDITION.

I went to the grocery store for the first time in a wheelchair and at the beginning I was marveling at the fact that it’s the most accessible place I’ve been to in my chair so far, until I realized that I was just benefiting from an accident of a building being made *shopping cart* accessible.

Context is everything.

Steam Machines originally launched into a space with poor support up against the relative strength of Windows.

The new one drops into a space occupied by the Steam Deck's strides in compatibility, Big Picture, and Windows flailing.

Grats to all of you with FanFest tickets!

I know this will sound like sour grapes as someone who didn't get them this time, but I really hope SQUEX took our accessibility concerns to heart. Vegas was miserable.

also worth noting that the game was removed from PC stores (stores that sell Steam codes) last month. Not sure anyone else noticed at the time

Kaye @kaye@cathode.church Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. A vital shift is underway in juicing. The Juicero is no longer optional. It's tomorrow's future, today. 40% of jobs are impacted by the Juicero. The Juicero isn't the future, it's a present necessity. Nobody hand-juices anymore. To hand-juice is like an impairment. Everyone must now focus on the delegation and the verification of a juice. We become less juice producers and more juice enablers. Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. We are burning every forest and poisoning every river to produce more Juiceros. You will become obsolete if you don't get on the Juicero bandwagon. Students must not be taught how to hand-juice. 80% of jobs will be lost to the Juicero. Students must be taught to exclusively focus on how to collaborate with the Juicero. Education must focus on orchestrating agentic Juicero systems. The Juicero is inevitable. Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. Adapt or risk becoming obsolete. As the Juicero rapidly advances toward automating up to 90% of juicing, the skills that will matter most include juice design, Juicero fluency, juice delegation, and juice quality assurance. 110% of jobs have been replaced by the Juicero.
