one of the funniest things about my interactions with Ross is that every time I talk to him, something like this happens ME: working on anything cool recently? ROSS: ...uhhh yeah like five things but I can't tell anyone about them yet incredible news man

Now that #WolverinePS5 has dropped, I can announce that I consulted on the #blind #accessibility! Join me at 4:00 PM PST where I will be playing the final product for the first time! I truly believe it's a step forward for blind gaming :) www.twitch.tv/RossMinor #Playstation #Gamedev

A group photo of five people standing in a recreation of the Princess Bar from Wolverine. All are smiling at the camera. The bar sits under a wooden pergola frame. Hanging from the top beam is a large glowing pink and purple neon sign reading 公主酒吧, Chinese for "Princess Bar." Red paper lanterns hang around the frame, and string lights and pinned-up paper cover the dark ceiling. Behind the bar, backlit shelves hold rows of glowing blue and green liquor bottles, with a small white beckoning-cat figurine on top. Tall wooden bar stools stand in front of the counter, which is partly covered by a red and white plaid cloth. Sam is wearing the Wolverine claws and holding them up to Ross on his left, where Ross is holding his fist up to the claws. Brian stands next to Ross and has his arm around him and Brianna is at the end.

Speaking of #Netflix though, yesterday the official trailer for the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender dropped yesterday and I had the honor of describing it! I thought it came out really well and it has me pumped for season 2! Check it out below: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJtf... #ATLA #Blind

Big thank you to #Netflix Games and Tara Voelker for inviting me to speak for #GAAD yesterday! It was such a pleasure spending the day with the team. And to any studios looking for a speaker, feel free to reach out!!

Ross smiling and laughing slightly from the side on the same balcony where he rests is hand on the railing.

A large Demogorgon statue with a flower-shaped head stands indoors.
The head has five thick, red petals, each covered in many pointed, cream-colored tooth- or seed-like shapes, all surrounding a deep black center that looks like an open mouth. The creature’s body is fleshy pink with a muscular, sinewy texture. It has long arms ending in three large, clawed fingers and thick legs with big toes tipped with pale claws, standing on a round black base. Next to it Ross stands and smiles while giving the shaka gesture with his right hand.

I created the Accessible Gaming Wiki, where people can create and share pages surrounding all aspects of game accessibility. This is a huge passion project of mine because while there’s a ton of info out there, much of it is fragmented or lost to time. More info 👇 www.accessiblegaming.wiki #GAAD

First Microsoft absolutely destroyed the accessibility of the Outlook calendar, forcing most Blind people to switch to a different alternative. Now that I’ve gotten comfortable with Google Calendar, looks like they’re on a mission to do the same as Microsoft. Can we please not right now 😅

Went orange picking across the street at my new college campus! This is paradise and I think Dixie agrees!

Ross, a man short wavy brown hair, a mustache, and sunglasses, is standing in front of a lush orange tree filled with ripe oranges. He is smiling and making a “hang loose” (shaka) hand gesture with his right hand while holding a cream-colored reusable tote bag. He is wearing a navy blue t-shirt featuring a vintage-style Ba Sing Se design, gray shorts, navy blue sneakers, and a black watch on his left wrist. Sitting in front of Ross is Dixie, a black Labrador Retriever with a shiny coat, floppy ears, and a calm expression. Dixie is looking directly at the camera with a silver chain collar around her neck. The ground is covered with wood chips, dirt, and scattered fallen oranges. The setting is an orange grove, with more trees and a brick wall visible in the background under

Ross has sunglasses on his face and is bending down to pet a Dixie, a black lab. He is wearing a navy blue t-shirt, light gray shorts, and navy blue sneakers. He is holding a cream-colored reusable tote bag in his left hand. Dixie stands on all fours with her tail slightly raised, looking up at Ross. Her ears are perked, and she is attentive to Ross. They are standing under a lush orange tree full of ripe oranges, with many fallen oranges scattered on the ground. The setting is an orange grove with wood chips and dirt covering the ground. In the background there are more trees and an open outdoor space with natural light.

Moving to a new place seems so easy, especially when you don’t really have a bunch of things. But doing that when you’re starting up school again, juggling work, dealing with family members, and receiving multiple amazing opportunities, it’s difficult to not let things slip through the cracks 😅.

2024 has been one of my best years in a long time. It can be easy to forget the things you’ve done over the year, so I decided to create a list of my accomplishments. It’s a great feeling to know all my years of advocacy are paying off. #Blind #Accessibility #GameDev

Ross and Connor Dewolf stand in front of a large sculpture in a large, modern looking building. The sculpture is of Young-hee, a famous children’s book character in Korea, and the murderous doll from the Netflix Series, Squid Game. The sculpture stands several feet taller than the two men, Ross being on the left in an open blue button up, white t-shirt and black jeans. He holds a leather leash holding Dixie, his black lab seeing eye dog. Conor stands next to him, in a grey button up and jeans. The both of them smile.

In front of Exhibit Hall A of the San Diego convention center, a small group poses on a clear day. From left to right, Ross holds up a "hang loose" sign while holding a tote bag, and Dixie's leash. Dixie sits in front of him, looking off camera. Drew tips his head back with a huge grin. Jenna also wears a huge grin with an arm around Drew and Steve. Steve smiles and wears a black and pick palm tree shirt. Tee smiles slyly with one hand on Mike's shoulder. Mike, in his manual wheelchair, smiles and wears a white beanie that has "quad squad" embroidered on it.

Ross wears a long sleeve blue button down and stands on the left of Tess, who wears a black sweater, black face mask, and jeans. Ross smiles and holds up his hand in a “hang loose” symbol while Tess gives a thumbs up. In the background, Halloween decorations are hung near a large screen has a slideshow projected.

#Ad I recently discovered a website that uses AI to find the best deals, but get this, they also make it a goal to be completely accessible for blind users! More info below! www.innosearch.ai #Blind #Accessibility #BlackFriday #CyberMonday #Christmas #AI #Shopping #InnosearchAI

A price history graph from innosearch.ai. The graph is labeled "Price History" and tracks the price of a product on Amazon over time. The vertical axis represents the price in dollars, ranging from $260 to $420. The horizontal axis shows the timeline from December 2023 to December 2024. The graph line fluctuates, indicating changes in price over the months. Below the graph, there are images of sunglasses with a label indicating "FREE delivery." There is also a red banner at the top of the image offering a $10 credit for sharing Innosearch with friends.Ross sitting in a chair and holding a smartphone in his left hand. The phone screen displays a webpage from Innosearch.ai with a red and white theme, featuring a banner that says "FREE DELIVERY AND RETURN" and "Cyber Monday Deals.".
