🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦<p><span>While I'm talking about games: </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/stardew" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#stardew</a><span> Access is so, so close to being actually fun, with a good time freeze and autofishing addon. Unfortunately, I just can't get past the way pathfinding fails sometimes, and the way crops that are watered randomly don't update to show they're watered, and the way NPCs run around like pixies when you want to talk to them, so by the time pathfinding finishes they're already gone, and the way getting into bed is still a matter of trial and error. It makes things that would otherwise be fun into a chore. But, like, the mod itself is done well enough that it makes Stardew feel like a native </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/audiogame" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#audiogame</a><span>, if it wasn't for the weird bugs and issues. And the game is fully playable, from what I can tell. I just can't get into the relaxing cozy vibe when I'm trying to figure out the exact direction to approach my bed at night, or wondering why the plants aren't getting watered when I'm using my watering can right on the tile, or chasing an NPC across the map who keeps walking away from me when I wanna talk to them. </span><a href="https://github.com/stardew-access/stardew-access" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">github.com/stardew-access/stardew-access</a><span> </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/a11y" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#a11y</a></p>
🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦<p><span>Ball Bouncer is perhaps the ultimate culmination of a bunch of weird </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/blind" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#blind</a><span> traits in the </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/audiogames" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#audiogames</a><span> scene: random pointless destruction, casual games, 2d audio, and incomprehensible ball physics. Oh, and as with most of these types of games, I brutally suck at it, but feel compelled to keep playing anyway for some reason. For the curious, here's a recording that mostly demonstrates...why I don't have a gaming channel.

Gregarious<p>Ugh, I hate to admit this, but due to accessibility needs I was forced to return to Windows. Of course, first thing I had to do was tweak privacy settings to try and cut down on its tracking bullshit. Just one too many minor accessibility issues with Linux to make it useable for me right now... <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/A11Y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>A11Y</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blind</span></a></p>
David O'Brien<p>Saying "No-one using our service has accessibility needs" is a bit like saying "We don't need a ramp, no-one in a wheelchair has ever come up the stairs".</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/A11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>A11y</span></a></p>

Per AxbomYou can’t say ”it’s not worth making it accessible for only 1% of our users”. That’s a logical fallacy. And reveals a lot about your understanding of the subject area, and your value system.<br><br>If you had made it accessible to begin with, people with disabilities could’ve been 20% of your user base.<br><br>And it would have been better for 100% of your users.<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://axbom.me/tag/a11y" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://axbom.me/tag/accessibility" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a>
