@BobServo1 It truly shows a lack of quality and care on the part of the company. There have been many crunchyroll anime that boast audio description but you can immediately tell its written by AI. I've encountered the wrong audio track sync on an episode. Companies that use AI don't care

@claudioPsanchez I caught the incredible show you all put on last night in Ottawa. I've been a fan for 20 years. In that time I lost my vision, And I can't really tell what the artwork on the vinyl album cover is. It feels wrong to use AI, do you think you could describe it?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: #RhythmHeavenGroove is the most accessible Nintendo game without sight I've ever played.

Just curious for all of those who are angry at the Sony news that they are going digital by 2028. For those who pre-ordered Wolverine digitally, are you cancelling it and pre-ordering a physical copy?

Reviewing Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced was so much fun. I was hoping for something good, and I ended up getting something special. My favorite AC game is back! Read all my opinions about its accessibility!

[Mike Krupp @K9Audio]

Such great news! I'm very happy to know that I will still be able to explore the wild imaginations of this team!

[Mike Krupp @K9Audio]

Wonderful news! It truly would've been ashamed to see this team broken up and spread to the four wins. Although it may be a while, I look forward to reading about your future awards and successes!

@easysurf_ca is looking for gamers with protanopia or tritanopia to participate in a remote playtesting session for an unannounced AAA game.

The session will be recorded and last approximately two hours. Participants will be paid $140 USD or $200 CAD

[Mike Krupp @K9Audio]

@Victor_Lucas I certainly won't be an early adopter, no backwards compatibility and the suspected price point definitely aren't filling me with too much excitement. I love Sony and what they do for accessibility is amazing but I think they could safely delay the PS six for a few more years.

[Chad Michael Bouton @UnsytedParasyte]

Both Art of Fauna and Art of Flora are such wonderful games. Their blind accessibility is fantastic, and I would love to see more cozy games for blind players like these.
I have always enjoyed games that let me learn while I play, and these do that so well.

[Mike Krupp @K9Audio]

@UnsytedParasyte Well unlike in the world of game development, it appears that pizza still has some AA companies. Because Lord knows dominoes is far from AAA and they are nowhere near as interesting as indie companies out there

[Mike Krupp @K9Audio]

You know if it weren't for the taste, it's comments like this that would have me ordering their pizza

BREAKING NEWS

[Mike Krupp @K9Audio]

With the blind features recently announced in rhythm heaven groove, I decided to buy myself a Nintendo switch 2.
I believe with the growing demographic of Japanese seniors playing more games, Nintendo is going to have a vested interest in accessibility.
Fingers crossed anyway!

2026: Shareholder asks Nintendo's board about accessibility. President of Nintendo describes it as a main function of the console, Nintendo's #3 talks about history of blind people playing the Rhythm Heaven series and tackling accessibility from early in dev for the newest one.

@UnsytedParasyte Thoughts and prayers are heading your way my friend, I'll be praying for you and your family. And don't hesitate to call if you'd like someone to talk to or talk at.

[Mike Krupp @K9Audio]

@UnsytedParasyte I'm lucky to have supportive friends like yourself to celebrate success and give guidance and insight

One year ago today I was paired with my second Seeing Eye dog, Lupin. This amazing pup picked up where my first dog left off and House guy around obstacles and towards new adventures. The past 12 months have been a roller coaster,

This must be a sign from above, or at least the excuse I'm going to use to justify my purchase. Not only has Nintendo shown off its first game with blind accessibility features but @SVegvari said I should! Guess I'll just treat myself to a switch 2 as an early birthday present.

BUY ALL OF YOUR TECH NOW. ANYTHING WITH A CHIP.

Xbox, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, iPhone, Galaxy S, PC...

Stop waiting if you can afford it now. We're comically underestimating how bad the market is about to become

[Mike Krupp @K9Audio]

From being one of the jury members of the @cgameawards, meeting the man who pulled back the curtain of the games industry @Victor_Lucas to starting my own business. I count myself blessed that I live in an age where a blind man and his dog can do whatever he puts his mind to.
