Thrilled to learn that Insomniac posted the list of #accessibility features for Marvel’s Wolverine alongside the gameplay trailer that also has audio description! Now that’s how you announce a game! Lots of great features for #blind gamers, so here’s hoping the game will be accessible because I’ve been wanting a more mature Marvel game. The game itself even lists it will have audio description in several languages!

Big thank you to Netflix Games for inviting me to speak for #GAAD yesterday! It was such a pleasure spending the day with the team.
Speaking of #Netflix, the official trailer for Season 2 of the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender dropped yesterday, and I had the honor of providing the audio description for it. I’m really proud of how it turned out, and it has me even more excited for the new season.

In other news that has me emotional 😭 I'm so honored to be part of this group and to be working alongside this amazing group of consultants. I truly believe this is the start of something great.

I created the Accessible Gaming Wiki, a wiki where people can create and share pages surrounding all aspects of game accessibility. This has been a huge passion project of mine because while there’s a ton of info out there, much of it is fragmented or lost to time. The goal of this website is to be run by the community and for the community. Check out my next post for some of my favorite pages I’ve made so far and feedback welcome!
When people online accuse me of faking my blindness, all they’re really doing is telling on themselves and the moral judgements they fail to make.
First Microsoft absolutely destroyed the accessibility of the Outlook calendar, forcing most Blind people to switch to a different alternative. Now that I’ve gotten comfortable with Google Calendar, looks like they’re on a mission to do the same as Microsoft. Can we please not right now 😅💀
About to go live to play my very first Final Fantasy game as a blind gamer, thanks to this new accessibility mod!
