“You’re deaf? But you’re so pretty!”

The fact this has happened to me several times is mind boggling. Ableism is weird.
What would someone have to say to you for this to happen?

Today’s Community Soapbox highlight features @sightlesskombat.com, an award winning, multi-credited accessibility consultant and gamer without sight.

Unsurprisingly, his biggest barriers involve gaming independently with no sight at all.

As promised we’ll highlight each of our Community Soapbox guests separately this week, starting with @mellymaeh.de.

She’s an activist, speaker, and author focused on accessibility, inclusion, and of course gaming where mobility is her biggest barrier.

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.
