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.
Check it out below:
@prism Yup I’ve already been in touch with him :). In general my scope of the wiki is intended by design to be bigger than just that one topic. I think we both check in on each others lists and update accordingly. As for my personal preference, I’m wanting a game to pass a few checks before it’s put on the list. Things like that.
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.
Introducing the PlayStation Studios Accessibility Community Council:

@patricus Currently, the blind accessible games page that I created only lists games that are fully accessible or nearly so. The intent was for people to not have to worry if a game they’re picking is fully accessible or not.
@SwordArtStreamer also sorry, I didn’t see the second half of your post. Yeah we’ve already been in contact and have exchanged resources haha.
Pax Ahimsa GethenGood timing, I just learned that tomorrow (May 21) is Global Accessibility Awareness Day. https://accessibility.day/
@SwordArtStreamer that’s only a single page, I have a page like that, but it’s for an entire wiki of interconnected pages. The two pages can simultaneously coexist no problem.
My favorite pages:
List of blind accessible games: https://accessiblegaming.wiki/BlindAccessibleGames
The entire Pokemon section I’ve been working on: https://accessiblegaming.wiki/Pokemon
Games with audio description: https://accessiblegaming.wiki/GamesWithAudioDescription
Also currently working on a page linking to feedback forms for all the various different studios.
Currently the wiki supports:
Account creation and verification.
Creation, editing, and watching of pages.
A search engine.
Both text and visual editors.
Categories.
The ability for search engines to crawl it’s pages.
File uploads.
YouTube video imbedding.
And always more to come!
