This weekend, the #SentoShowdown returns with all the blind gaming action you love. To bring our tournament further to life, we present Season IV’s commentary team: @KHRattlehead, @Captain_Earshot, and a very special guest, the wonderful, illustrious, @kevinmcolon! #MoreThanABlade

I’m so excited to participate again in this tournament for blind gamers organized by blind gamers. Props to the @SentoShowdown team for raising the bar once again. Thanks for all the hard work you put into making this happen.

I was delighted to find out that the website 1 million checkboxes is accessible with screen readers. Now go forth and check some boxes everyone!!! The public version is closed but you can at least play alone. #a11y onemillioncheckboxes.com

@MrTBlaze Sunday and Tuesday work best for me

📢I mentioned this yesterday: I’m down to host a #MK1 tournament for as many members of the #blindFGC as are able to participate. I know people are looking to get some practice in, so Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday are available. We could do something on just one of those days, depending on people’s availability. It could be a large tournament on one day or smaller ones on each of those days, as long as there are at least four players. Everyone is welcome! The time would be after 6 PM EST. I’m flexible with different schedules, so let’s get this going! @blindbuddah81 @BlindPress @KHRattlehead @BlurrySito_ @BarrenSunBFGC @BlindsightBlue @vision_KV @Captain_Earshot @Tjtheblindgamer @jeffreypalacios @No_Vision69 @blindtoes @CorruptedSight @RC_Cashflow @KonnorRose @Your_Sins @michaeljohann_ @ThumblessKonbat @cmdnseenoevil Apologies if I missed anyone, feel free to repost, and tag.

It's Global Accessibility Awareness Day! Adding descriptive transcripts to videos helps Deafblind people and others who process information through text. Share this tip. Happy #GAAD! #Accessibility #a11y 1/6

There’s still plenty of work to do in digital accessibility but it’s always good to recognize the wins.

This year I am grateful of the accomplishments in mainstream video games. Because of accessibility consultants and advocates, people like me have multiple titles to play including mortal kombat 1, the amazing Spider-Man 2, as dusk falls and of course the last of us part 2.

I totally missed it yesterday so happy #gaad! Every year I like to post this clip of pinky saying Egad brain! Brilliant! #a11y. getyarn.io/yarn-clip/81a8…

@BGFH79 That was a great listen. Thanks for sharing. It took me way back. Papa Sangre and audio defense were such awesome games. I was so disappointed that there wasn’t anything comparable afterwards. Too bad Sony shut the whole thing down.

This was a great episode, and I'm excited at the possibilities they talk about here for the future. Also, with all the visual games getting remasters, I think it's only appropriate that all of the Somethin Else games get a remastered collection.

@mikedoise You can try to revive this old one. x.com/i/communities/…

So I am working in digital accessibility now, and I am surprised that there aren't bigger X communities related to accessibility. Should we all create one? #a11y

@kraykray Hey! It’s been forever.

do i still know anybody here?

@KHRattlehead There’s also braille uno. shop.mattel.com/products/uno-b…

Fellow blind gamers in general. I’m doing research on basic games like Uno and monopoly. Those are accessible in braille and large print. Are there other games like that accessible? Say poker, blackjack, or other table top games?

Oh snap. The voiceover label on my Home Screen has changed from twitter to X. RIP twitter

@jessmmatthews @ssrc_just_tech Amazing. Congratulations!!!

We've released a new update to the WAVE accessibility tools with numerous improvements and bug fixes. This version now informs users that accessiBe and UserWay overlays may manipulate page content to suppress detection of accessibility errors.

Happy #GAAD!!! Cheers to all the #a11y folks out there celebrating their wins today. AD: clip of Pinky from Pinky and the Brain saying “Egad Brain! Brilliant!” #GAAD2023 getyarn.io/yarn-clip/81a8…

The organizers created this fun audio flyer which you can listen to. My favorite part is the X-men theme song at the end. It brings me way back to when I was a nine year old immigrant watching my first American cartoon. drive.google.com/file/d/1SaDQ8b…

If you love audio fiction as much as I do, you’ll want to catch this virtual event on May 5th. Five teams will showcase their accessible comic projects that are full of voice acting, music and sound effects! #a11y #audiofiction tinyurl.com/InnovationsInC…

I performed a WCAG review on a single page manually, and with axe DevTools, ARC Toolkit, WAVE Evaluation Tool, & Equal Access Accessibility Checker (all free tools). I gathered the results of each: adrianroselli.com/2023/01/compar… I show my work so you can judge (me or the tools).

They are spread throughout the platform so theoretically you can jam with another passenger while waiting on your train. Which I’ve always wanted to do.

My favorite is 34 street Harold square. There is an interactive audio art installation on the NRQW platform that I’ve played around with many times before. If you wave your hands in front of motion sensors it will play some music and animal sounds. amny.com/transit/new-yo…
