Like, I want to be clear I've not done so yet, but I can't ignore the thought that jailbreaking the system would likely open up some accessibility options not currently supported on the console, and that does feel notable enough to be worth discussing.

Looking at topics for future Access-Ability episodes, and debating how much trouble I might get in if I made a video about jailbreaking the PS5 to use third party accessibility controllers on it. Might maybe tie it into "Platform publishers should really let A11Y controllers work multiplatform"

Steam Frame VR Accessibility Review At its best The Steam Frame feels like a nice step forward, but certain aspects I consider essential are pricey add-on purchases on top of an already expensive base device. access-ability.uk/2026/10/05/s...

Steam Frame VR Accessibility Review

Up front, I want to say thank you to Valve for sending me a 2TB Steam Frame for review. They also sent their Ergonomic Accessories Kit and 2.5M Charger Cable with the review unit. Additionally, tha…

I'll have video coverage on Ctrl, Alt, Access going up this week, and have discussed the headset in length as audio on Podquisition, for anyone who would prefer those formats to an in depth 5K word written piece.

Looking likely I'll finally have my Steam Frame accessibility review live this week. It's going to be without a doubt the longest review I have written so far this year. It's quite the beast.

I also bring buffalo. I do snail first as I find the other thing easier to solo than try to do mid other fight while it's spewing electric

I don't think board 3 actually gives beast XP though? I have beaten the first fight in it a few times, and my beasts gain zero XP. I've taken to redoing board 1 and 2 because they actually give XP to my beasts.

Laura Kate Dale - LauraKBuzz @laurakbuzz.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Oh, trust me, I am trying haha IO have all 50 beasts already, and am trying to follow guides, I am just not good enough at it to make progress.

Laura Kate Dale - LauraKBuzz @laurakbuzz.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Yep haha. I know logically it's not a hard roadblock, but it still feels like an incomplete task I am failing if I don't complete before moving forward, so yaaaaaay haha

100

Laura Kate Dale - LauraKBuzz @laurakbuzz.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Getting mentally stuck because the next thing on my to do list is a thing I for whatever reason cannot complete is one of the most common points of stress and frustration I experience as an autistic person. I can see so clearly that I'm fixating, but that doesn't make getting around it easier haha

Laura Kate Dale - LauraKBuzz @laurakbuzz.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I know logically there's no reason I CAN't just get back to the main story, but in my head completing this silly solo mode challenge thing is the next task I need to do on my mental to do list, and as such oops can't get on with anything else haha

I swore up and down for about a week that this was a great episode of Deep Space Nine, only to realise I was thinking of another episode in which Kai Winn negotiates a treaty and this is, in fact, the episode in which Jake and Nog go on a date and Vedek Bareil just really loves his job.

There's parts of it I like, parts of it that are a very hard sell, parts that feel cheap despite the price, places where it doesn't stack up to competitors, benefits that not everyone will agree are worth the money, and use cases I'm learning the more time I spent with it.

My Steam Frame accessibility review will be the next episode of Access-Ability, but may end up pushed back from this week to next week due to needing a little extra time to work on it. Not been an easy device to come to a firm opinion on, so taking my time and not rushing with writing my review.

For those curious, the Steam Machine works out the box with the Xbox Adaptive Controller, Xbox Adaptive Joystick, Hori Flex, and Byowave Proteus Controller. The PS Access controllerbwas the only major accessibility controller not to work correctly with the system.
