I uploaded the VOD of me playing Spider-Man 2 for the first time with the new mod that adds TTS and ! This is without a doubt the most accessible Spider-Man game yet!

While packing and traveling to SXSW, I almost forgot to mention that As Dusk Falls , a game I was a consultant for, has been released on PS5 and includes audio descriptions! Cannot wait to play the game in its entirety when I’m back home! Audio descriptions absolutely have a place in gaming, but especially in in narrative driven games where the choices you make matter. Really hope to see more of this in the future :).

So excited to announce that I am one of five honorees to be granted the 2024 SXSW Community Service Award! This was something I simply wasn't expecting and I'm absolutely floored to be recognized for my work in accessibility :). If you're attending and would like to meet up, please let me know and maybe we can figure something out! More info and link below:

The live action for Avatar: The Last Airbender dropped today on @Netflix and I can finally announce that I provided the audio description for the show. ATLA is my favorite show of all time and this was a dream come true!

@objectinspace Sorry, this reply wasa directed at my live announcement? did you respond to the wrong post or is TWBlue/Mastodon being weird?

@RossMinor@mastodon.social avatar

If everything goes according to plan, I will be streaming the Plants Vs Zombies accessibility mod tonight at 5:00 pst! I’ve always wanted to play this game and now I’m finally able to :)

Restarting my computer just now freed about 11 gigabytes of storage.

This seems like an abnormally high amount of temporary data.

What's more obnoxious is that I can't track down what is writing it.

Does Windows let you monitor a drive for most recently added files or something?

RossMinor,
@RossMinor@mastodon.social avatar

@objectinspace Have you used the search tool Everything? I believe it has a function to sort by recently added.

Announcement time!

Last night it was announced that As Dusk falls will be coming to PS4 and PS5. Not only that, but it will have audio description! Honored to say that both SuperBlindman and I were consultants for this game 😊.

Guess who got their hands on a PlayStation Access Controller? You can check out my unboxing here and my review will be coming next week 😊. Thank you thank you to for providing the controller!

I will also be linking other disabled creators in the video description so you can get some other perspectives on the controller. I realize this controller isn’t really targeted towards me, so I want to try to highlight other creators that this controller will appeal to more.

Never thought that one day I would be doing a sponsored stream for an accessible game, but here we are!

Join me tomorrow at 4:00 PM PST as I play the demo for the new music based audio game, Rocococo - Audiogame Fantastique, created by Speed of Dark Studios! This game is intended for both blind and sighted players as well!

For the past month I've been working on a game jam game with a group of friends from the IGDA program I was in. We're wanting to conduct some live playtests of people playing the game. Right now we're looking for specifically blind/low vision players. The playtests will most likely be conducted on the 9th. If anyone is interested, you can fill out the form below and someone will be in touch.

@objectinspace So tentitively, I have an engagement at 3:00, so we were trying to keep them before then. However, if you're talking like 5:00 or 6:00, I'm sure we can make that happen :).

RossMinor,
@RossMinor@mastodon.social avatar

@objectinspace No pain at all! Go ahead and sign up and we'll followup if it doesn't work out :).

From the latest release of NVDA. This is going to be so helpful for gaming:

NVDA can now periodically refresh OCR results, speaking new text as it appears. This can be configured in the Windows OCR category of NVDA’s settings dialog.

Looks like I'm gonna have to wait with a lot of these Forza events until this annoying curve announcement bug gets fixed. :(

RossMinor,
@RossMinor@mastodon.social avatar

@talon Yeah, was playing career last night for one of the first times and noticed the bug as well. Made it pretty difficult at some points.

    @talon I love this, you've gotten really good. It's definitely taken me a bit longer to get the hang of things, although I've only been able to play like an hour a day or so. Currently using partial assistance for steering/breaks, but definitely not at the point where I feel comfortable racing haha.

    RossMinor,
    @RossMinor@mastodon.social avatar

    @talon i usually just leave the defaults and just convert to MP4, already saves a massive amount of space.

    RossMinor,
    @RossMinor@mastodon.social avatar

    @talon For sure. I know people on /r/Handbrake get really into the figuring out the best script to compress videos, you may be able to find something useful there.

    RossMinor,
    @RossMinor@mastodon.social avatar

    @objectinspace @talon If you want more hand holding, I would definitely try full steering assist, and partial breaks if you still want a little challenge. That alone doesn't allow you to just hold RT and win, you still have to steer and break. Another great way to learn when to best speed up, break, etc, is by turning on all assists and just hearing when the car breaks, stops accelerating, etc.
