I don't know if anyone reads my tweets, but Cyberpunk 2077 not having an accessibility option for players with epilepsy is a perfect example of what I mean when I talk about players with disabilities being "left out" of trends because of careless design.

FINNISH TWITTER I NEED YOUR HELP. The city of Pori and Porin Linjat have decided that blind people and their assistants are no longer entitled to free bus rides, in a city that isn't at all blind-walking-friendly. This move will HURT PEOPLE. PLEASE SHARE.

@ContraPoints Can a blind girl give her two cents? This helps me. I can't see you. I need your voice to be the indicator and that is rarely a good metric. I understand this is probably hard for trans people but i don't want to misgender anyone because of the pitch of their voice.

#AnimalCrossingNewHorizions isn't always the most accessible, & I was getting very frustrated about feeling like my blind self would never be able to play the way everyone else does. So I teraformed my (almost) entire island into a rainbow., leaving designated spaces for fossils

HEY FINNISH TWITTER. The City of Pori is still SILENT on why blind people and their assistants suddenly need to pay for the bus. Porin Linjat is on our side but the city is refusing to take any responsibility for their shameful action. Please keep applying pressure +retweeting!

When I talk about accessibility, I don't just mean making considerations for blind people like me. Designing for players who are prime to seizures is a perfect example. Even Pokemon removed the episode of their cartoon because it caused a few viewers to experience seizures.

The average blind person in Pori is a PENSIONER who does not have money to pay up to €3.50 for themselves + 3.50 for their assistant BOTH WAYS. That's €14 just to go to the store! This will only lead to more ISOLATION OF OLDER PEOPLE.

Being jump-scared by tarantulas is difficult. When you're a disabled gamer, you are forced to always be thinking and always be trying to engineer ways to make the gaming process more balanced.

About @ianhamilton_ last post Far too often the discussion of harassment in gaming communities focuses solely on what women experience. While women do face abuse, disabled women, women of colour, disabled women of colour, and other groups, as well as non-women from those groups🧵

Hey #gamedev , this is standard. I couldn't begin to count how many times I've had abuse & death threats for daring to talk about accessibility. They often think they're doing it on behalf of / in defence of devs. Devs need to take a strong vocal line on it with their communities.
