ok since i kinda doubt we're seeing a #QueerGamesBundle this year before #pride ends, i rearranged my #itchio page so my most pride-flavored offerings are right at the top!!! everything is free, some things are pay-if/what-you-like.

but enjoy!!! birds, dragons, fishes, gay angsty aliens and furries and MORE!

Steam just added screen reader support in the latest Big Picture Mode beta. On the Deck. On SteamOS. On Linux.
Not hacked in. Not community-patched. Built-in. From Valve.
There's an accessibility tab. There's a screen reader. There's high-contrast mode, UI scaling, color filters, reduced motion, and more.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I need a Steam Deck now.
Accessibility isn’t just coming to gaming — it’s here, and it’s official.
Let’s make some noise so they keep going.

ironic that we live in a time where everybody owns a computer with a mandatory button that spawns a supposed "magical genie", except for computer witches & wizards who specifically do *not* have such a button anywhere, nor do they wish to have one
