Hey everyone! I just launched a Patreon where you can support what I do to improve visual accessibility in board games for the blind and visually impaired. RTs appreciated. https://t.co/AaFS0HdUCh #Accessibility #blind #BoardGames #bgg #tabletop #a11y #Alexa

Probably not what you were waiting for, but here's an important update regarding #HearthstoneAccess: https://t.co/yHV3kOgFSp

@RonaleneHI @BlindTemple @WNGGaming @brailleknights I'm not a braille reader myself, but perhaps @loravara can provide some additional information that might have been missed in the thread.

@redmeepleryan @LiamErven If it helps, my Deep Space Dice project is publicly available here: https://t.co/dpcoJKJtkR
Developed using C#, hosted as an Azure function, and storing game state was ahndled by DynamoDB.

@Loravara Haha, sure! I'm up for that!

[GuideDev @guide_dev]

A new version of #HearthstoneAccess has just been released. From now on, you can always find the release notes here: https://t.co/CGQOEdsBk2

Great work so far! Really enjoy the mod!

[GuideDev @guide_dev]

For all of those who have been asking for this: I've just released a new version of #HearthstoneAccess which allows you to fully play the first Book of Heroes adventure: the story of Jaina Proudmoore. Have fun!

This looks like a promising start to makeHearthstone accessible with screen readers. #accessibility #a11y https://t.co/XMQMz2RIXi

@izrodoT @RadioMOF @cacus81 No worries! Thanks for sharing it! This is a great step forward.

[Sightless Fun @SightlessFun]

@izrodoT @RadioMOF @cacus81 Yes, I was one of the two members representing the Union of the Blind and worked closely with the company that developed it as a consultant :D

@EuroGamerGirl Clone Wars is a must watch. Look for the official chronological order.

[Sightless Fun @SightlessFun]

@Loravara Do you still have the xr?

[Sightless Fun @SightlessFun]

@zkline @redmeepleryan @Loravara Is this similar to Timecrest?

[Sightless Fun @SightlessFun]

@Loravara That was pretty fun, glad we discovered that game!

[Sightless Fun @SightlessFun]

Oh look, it's the quarterly @Facebook @Messenger redesign that destroys accessibility for screen readers! Having Table HTML elements for the messages must be a brilliant idea. Also, nobody cares about Landmarks, so they're all gone now. #accessibility #a11y

@mehgcap Spectrum access has AD tracks without the movie audio for a handful of titles and that provides the best experience. Wish all of them had AD tracks without movie audio.

[Sightless Fun @SightlessFun]

@Loravara @CultOfTheOld Yeah, enjoyed that game quite a bit! Great job on the zero bids!

[Sightless Fun @SightlessFun]

As a Clone Wars and Rebels fan, today was an amazing day! Looking forward to the future of Star Wars. #TheMandalorian #CloneWars #StarWars

@meeplelikeus Amazing! Congratulations!
