Every year at the end of Craniofacial Acceptance Month I repost a piece I wrote 5 years ago, about gaming with a facial difference. Not much has changed, but luckily I can't say things have gotten worse either. caniplaythat.com/2021/09/30/g... In the meantime, as faces mature they keep changing...

Gaming with a Facial Difference
Video games are a great escape from real life, but having a facial difference is something you don’t escape while gaming.

@joedolson.bsky.social I encountered an error in the latest WP Accessibility plugin version, where font-size toggling doesn't works when logged out. In wp-accessibility.min.js two instances of c.contains(t) break when c (the admin toolbar) doesn't exist. Did a quick fix with: (c && c.contains(t))

Found this 20+ year old low-ish poly 3D model of an A-Wing during digital cleanup. This one never got as far a the N1 Starfighter I modded into Battlefield 1942. The program I used back then was MilkShape 3D, which somehow still works!

Esp when so many of them never even cared about the trail and were just looking for reasons to dunk on the game because woke/SBI/PS/no disc etc, hence all the vile comments left in reply to the patch announce. There's a legitimate issue in there somewhere, but the current patch is feeding trolls 😔

Making excellent navigational aids less visually accessible to appease a vocal minority of Gamers™ is not the way. Unlike the scent trail, this stinks. If you can adjust the visual intensity, by all means allow players to do so. But give them the choice to keep the most accessible option for them.

Do not rely on the A.I.-generated alt text in Facebook or Instagram. The result is vague and useless, like "may be an image of food and text," and "may be an image of outdoors." These do nothing to give users the context and content of an image.
