My favorite game ever probably "technically" fits in this category, except is really a music rhythm game and for VR: Pistol Whip! Love, love, love <3

How about you, see any games on here that look cool? They come highly recommended 😉

I played in VR, which was rad, but it's also available non-vr for Switch & PC. It's one of those games (and stories) that has stuck with me long past finishing the game. The visuals of the terrain rise up out of the table is wild and honestly the bird is maybe one of my top 10 fav GMs of all times 😂

Do you add boardgames to these lists? Root and Everdell seem like great fits and are both in the DB as board games. As a bonus they both have great digital versions as well

Everdell even has a big tree that stands in the middle of the table! :)

My favs are Pawnbarian, Shotgun King, and King of the Bridge. Potentially belongs on this list is a chess-themed Roguelike Tower Defense game called Defend the Rook. It uses chess-themed pieces to not play chess :)

...When you quit a game without playing it because you can't adjust a setting and aren't willing to work that hard....

(just me?)

You know you’re an accessibility specialist when half the things you love or hate about a new game come straight from the options menu.

You know you’re an accessibility specialist when you go from “cool feature” to “why isn’t this standard everywhere?”

Dawncaster: Mobile-only deckbuilder that's VERY good. I play so many games in this genre and this one just hits the sweet spot. Variety & challenge, unique card mechanics I haven't seen anywhere else, good story, so much to unlock, A++

Loot Plot is a current obsession!

It's an interesting twist on "a whole game build around organizing your inventory", hits somewhere between Ballionaire and one of those factory/automation games, with wild combos and lots of discovery

Exactly.

And fwiw, you know you're working in accesibility when you comment that something on social media might not be inclusive and the author comes back the next day asking for ideas to change wording. 😉👍

A few other ideas based on shared experience trends:

“If you ____, you might be an accessibility specialist.”

“Tell me you work in accessibility without telling me you work in accessibility.”

“A11y bingo: what’s on your card this week?”

“What hill are you dying on this week? (A11y edition)”

Thanks for being open to considering other options!

One easy shift might be changing “you aren’t... until” to “you know you are... when.”

It’s subtle, but I think the first might read like a list of standards for legitimacy, while the second feels more like a checklist of relatable experiences

Yeah, I get the framing device. However, in a field people come to through varied paths and lived experiences (and where folks often already have their credibility tested, especially in gaming spaces), it’s worth considering who this invites to share… and who it doesn’t 🤷‍♀️

Idk, the undertone of “you aren't good enough to do this job if you haven’t met these standards…” feels like a weird way to flex credentials in a field built on inclusion.

There’s gotta be a way to invite shared stories that doesn’t involve drawing lines around whose experiences are valid?

(had this in my saved drafts for weeks, oops! Lmk if you are still looking!)
