  1. Any accessible games for IOS that work with a controller?
    I recently started using a controller to play games on my computer, and I now want to try some mobile gaming with it as well.

  6. I've just installed RetroArch and enabled its accessibility on one of my macs, as I've been wanting to play games with this thing for a while.
    Anyone have some recommendations for some accessible games and cores on it?
    I haven't set up any of its AI stuff, as it seems a bit complicated to me, so I'm only using standard accessibility in there.

  13. Lately I’ve realized that most of the games that really keep my attention are text-based ones.
    Right now my two favorites are EmpireMUD and Stellar Aeon.
    EmpireMUD scratches the classic MUD itch: exploring, crafting, character progression, and a world that feels alive and constantly evolving. It’s the kind of game where I can log in, explore a bit, discover something new, and slowly build my character over time.
    Stellar Aeon is very different but just as satisfying. It’s a text-driven space exploration and management game where you discover systems, expand influence, and watch a simulated universe unfold. It really hits that “systems interacting with systems” sweet spot that makes me want to keep experimenting.
    I also enjoy incremental games (things like Cookie Clicker, Trimps, ComputeClicker, etc.), but lately a lot of them feel very similar once you’ve played a bunch. I still enjoy them, but they don’t hold my attention the same way they used to.
    I’ve also looked at programming games and automation games, which seem like they should be perfect for me, but most of the ones I’ve found so far aren’t very accessible with screen readers.
    For context: I’m totally blind and use a screen reader, so text-based games tend to work best for me.
    Interestingly, a lot of audiogames actually don’t work well for me either, because many rely heavily on spatial audio or reaction timing.
    I’m definitely open to games that normally rely on audio if they have mods or modes where most information is available in text.
    Navigation can also be tricky. I can handle spatial navigation if a game provides helpful tools like:

    • coordinates
    • compass directions
    • map commands
    • “find” or “locate” commands
    • clear text descriptions of the environment

    Some MUDs do this really well, but many games unfortunately don’t include those kinds of tools.
    So I’m curious:
    If you enjoy text-based games, MUDs, incremental games, simulation games, or anything similar, what are you playing these days?
    I’m always interested in discovering new worlds to explore.

  28. 🌟 Introduction Post 🌟

    Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Lanie Molinar Carmelo (she/her), and I'm thrilled to join the amazing community here on allovertheplace.ca! Here's a little about me:

    🧑‍💻 Who I Am

    I'm a #UsabilityTester and an aspiring #AccessibilityConsultant, working to make technology better for everyone, especially those of us with disabilities. I'm most passionate about helping those with multiple disabilities, as it's an area that doesn't get enough attention.

    🐾 Meet Squeaker!

    I'm also the proud human to my 10-year-old Miniature Pinscher, Squeaker, who is the best little companion anyone could ask for. 🐕💖 He drives me nuts sometimes, but I don't know what I'd do without him. My profile picture features me with Squeaker, and my header shows him wrapped in a blanket with just his adorable face peeking out!

    📚 What I’m Studying

    I'm currently learning:

    • Digital Accessibility through the BIT Accessibility Analyst Course
    • Literary Braille Proofreading via the NLS
    • Programming on platforms like freeCodeCamp and Codecademy

    My goal is to develop accessible apps that empower people with disabilities, contribute to open-source projects that promote inclusion, and just do what I can to make the world more accessible.

    💡 What I Do

    I run or co-lead several online support groups for people with multiple disabilities. These groups provide safe spaces to connect, share resources, and talk with others who "get it." You can find them here:

    • Facebook: Multiple Disabilities Peer to Peer Support Group
    • Discord/Mailing List: MultAbilities
    • Clubhouse: People with Multiple Disabilities

    Right now, my focus is on growing these groups and making connections with others who are passionate about supporting multiply disabled individuals. If you're interested in joining or collaborating, feel free to reach out or check out my website at laniecarmelo.tech, where you'll find links to all the groups!

    🎮📖🍴 My Interests

    When I’m not advocating or studying, you can find me:

    I also love swimming 🏊‍♀️ when my health allows it.

    🛠️ My Goals

    One day, I hope to found a nonprofit organization to support multiply disabled individuals. The nonprofit would:

    • Provide peer support groups
    • Help fund assistive technology
    • Advocate for education and employment opportunities
    • Collaborate with disability-focused organizations to improve accessibility

    For now, I'm focused on running my support groups and building connections that could help make this dream a reality. If you have ideas or resources—or just want to chat—let me know! 🤝

    🤝 Let’s Connect!

    I’m always happy to chat about:

    • Accessibility in #tech or tech in general
    • Disability advocacy
    • Programming (#HTML, #JavaScript)
    • Braille
    • Books
    • Or just life in general!

    Feel free to follow me here or check out my website at laniecarmelo.tech.

    I also love swimming 🏊‍♀️ when my health allows it.

    🛠️ My Goals

    • Provide peer support groups
    • Help fund assistive technology
    • Advocate for education and employment opportunities

  30. 🌟 Introduction Post 🌟

    Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Lanie Molinar Carmelo (she/her), and I'm thrilled to join the amazing community here on allovertheplace.ca! Here's a little about me:

    🧑‍💻 Who I Am

    I'm a #UsabilityTester and an aspiring #AccessibilityConsultant, working to make technology better for everyone, especially those of us with disabilities. I'm most passionate about helping those with multiple disabilities, as it's an area that doesn't get enough attention.

    🐾 Meet Squeaker!

    I'm also the proud human to my 10-year-old Miniature Pinscher, Squeaker, who is the best little companion anyone could ask for. 🐕💖 He drives me nuts sometimes, but I don't know what I'd do without him. My profile picture features me with Squeaker, and my header shows him wrapped in a blanket with just his adorable face peeking out!

    📚 What I’m Studying

    I'm currently learning:

    • Digital Accessibility through the BIT Accessibility Analyst Course
    • Literary Braille Proofreading via the NLS
    • Programming on platforms like freeCodeCamp and Codecademy

    My goal is to develop accessible apps that empower people with disabilities, contribute to open-source projects that promote inclusion, and just do what I can to make the world more accessible.

    💡 What I Do

    I run or co-lead several online support groups for people with multiple disabilities. These groups provide safe spaces to connect, share resources, and talk with others who "get it." You can find them here:

    • Facebook: Multiple Disabilities Peer to Peer Support Group
    • Discord/Mailing List: MultAbilities
    • Clubhouse: People with Multiple Disabilities

    Right now, my focus is on growing these groups and making connections with others who are passionate about supporting multiply disabled individuals.

    Even better, if they aren't available, suggest them anyway where the constituent words of the hashtag are dictionary words.
    #Accessibility is a great example, if I type #Accessi then the only screen readable hashtag in a veryyyyy long list is #AccessibleGaming
    The very first suggestion even turns my initial capital into lower case!
    You can do better!

  40. Hey everyone! 🎲✨

    I’m super excited to share that they hit their goal for the TTRPGs for Accessible Gaming Charity Bundle! Because of your amazing support, DOTS RPG Project can now team up with Die Hard Dice to create awesome braille dice for the visually impaired and blind community.

    This is such a big win for making tabletop gaming more inclusive, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m really looking forward to snagging a set of these dice myself! I'm not in anyway involved other than a supporter but you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this.

    This is just my personal huge thanks to everyone who chipped in and helped spread the word. You all rock! 🌟🙌

  41. ‘Overjoyed’ is released to the Microsoft Store after its start as an open source adapter for game controllers available only on one of the developer’s site. It’s only got a 100 users at launch but it seems like something the Mastodon gaming community would want to take a look at.

    CBC has a report on the codevelopers De Virgillo and Monaghan’s journey.

    “Overjoyed, which is now part of the non-profit Our Odyssey, has presets for gaming with a mouse and keyboard, playing Xbox or PlayStation titles, and for Nintendo Switch. For Switch, they partnered with controller maker 8BitDo so one of that company's devices could act as a wireless relay from the software to the Nintendo console.

    The virtual joystick can also be controlled using eye-tracking if a user has the tools for that. . .

    . . . Monaghan adds that the pair is also open to any developers building Overjoyed directly into their games.“
