@ThatWelshKaren I was obsessed with this game at one point, it’s surprisingly fun! I usually played as the dwarf haha

[Conor Joseph @scottish_nerd]

@ThatWelshKaren Omg yes! Loved it!

I’ve been playing the new Lego Star Wars game quite a bit and I can comfortably say I prefer the original game. The new game is still great though!

[Conor Joseph @scottish_nerd]

@ImKatastrophe @sightlessKombat I agree with most of these, excellent thread!

[Conor Joseph @scottish_nerd]

Finally got time to watch the talks from #GAconf and was very happy to see such a focus on low vision gaming this year! RNIB also presented some stellar research findings/recommendations for making games more accessible for people with sight loss. Check it out!

@brycej @jameskyle Entirely depends on the touch pad - Apple ones have been great for me as I can use gestures similar to ipad to zoom and navigate but regular non Apple laptop ones suck and I will always use a mouse in that case.

Quality assurance can help make sure video games are accessible for everyone.

In today's video, @LadieAuPair, Senior @Xbox Game Studios Accessibility Lead takes us through the process.

As visually impaired, I just love food 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Lucy Edwards👩🏻‍🦯 @lucyedwards]

I have Covid so I can’t smell or taste anything… as a blind girl it’s so annoying as I sniff everything to clarify what it is!🙈

[Conor Joseph @scottish_nerd]

@KUBIGames @superblindman @ianhamilton_ Yeah as has been said above, there’s better ways to market things and there’s certainly been some great games since TLOU2 - The Vale, for example…

Had a nice afternoon at @EdinburghLeague catching up with everyone and making some trades 😊

[Conor Joseph @scottish_nerd]

Hogwarts Legacy looks…interesting. Certainly has potential to be good but my concern right now is whether it’s too ambitious even after the major delay in release

[IGN @IGN]

New look at house common rooms in Hogwarts Legacy. #StateofPlay

[Conor Joseph @scottish_nerd]

This is SO cool and again we definitely need more of it across the industry. Making games accessible is one thing but also having that transferred into their marketing is next level 🙌 #a11y

[Conor Joseph @scottish_nerd]

@ThatWelshKaren That’s a good start at least, I’ll need to try it this weekend and give an update 😊

[Conor Joseph @scottish_nerd]

The new game called Tunic looks pretty cool, might give it a try since it’s on Game Pass day 1. Does anyone know how accessible it is before I jump in? #a11y #BlindGamer
