Thank you so much for joining my workshop! It was incredibly fun!
Look at these cool, customizable controllers that let you put any button anywhere! Great for players who find regular controllers uncomfortable or impossible to use.

Why is so called "friendslop" games bring more accessibility to the table than AAA-games?
Just checked out R.E.P.O again, and that game has brilliant text to speech, photosensitivity mode, arachnophobia mode, toggle to hold, button remapping and so on! What are AAA-games excuse?

And playing with a different controller doesn't make you any less of a gamer, but if you want to be the BEST, you got to master them all! Thank you so much for agreeing to this!

Since some people seem to not get what the problem for me is, let me just clear it a bit up: There is no problem having QTE in a game, is the way they say the game has no timed input, even having that as a tag on steam.

Back at @theverge.com to point out that, cool as the suite of accessibility options in Kirby Air Riders is, suggestions floating around that this might be a turning point for Nintendo on accessibility are not only premature but ignore the weight of recent history – which is significant.
Kirby Air Riders’ impressive accessibility features are a rarity for Nintendo

Nintendo shared an hour long Kirby Air Riders Direct which included a lot of insights to its accessibility.
Director Masahiro Sakurai demonstrated a focus on player choice and comfort, and showcased exemplary accessibility features for a Switch 2 title.

Oooh I spoke too soon 😬 Even with QTE off, this is the first thing that happens in the game...
This happens twice, tho all the fighting QTE is off.
I REALLY hope this is just a honest mistake, because if not, this is not cool @adhocstudio.com , we do not mess about with accessibility info

WHAT DO YOU MEAN Dispatch by The Ad Hoc Studio has a pop-up BEFORE you start the game where you can choose if you want quick time events or not! 😭
Cognitive accessibility is so often forgotten, but here it is, so simple and yet so impactful for gamers like me🖤

Figured out, since this is not something that others can catch, it was more fun to be sick in Japan than being sick at home!
