With the continuous rise of prices for games, systems, and tech, and as companies like Xbox announce further increases for services like Game Pass, some disabled individuals are choosing to forgo AAA gaming altogether. Read my latest Access Granted report here:

As Prices Increase, Disabled Players Feel Left Behind

Rising costs of games, systems, and tech forces some disabled players to leave behind their favorite accessible hobby.

One final share for the weekend – Silksong's difficulty should not be the main accessibility critique. Conversations about it are only diminishing real inaccessible barriers. Read my latest Access Designed here:

IGN @ign.com · 18d

There are overarching accessibility problems in the Metroidvania genre, and Hollow Knight: Silksong is just perpetuating and reinforcing inaccessible barriers.

For six years, I've had the privilege to publish countless reviews, features, and investigative pieces across numerous publications. I love what I do, and I think it's time to start a new venture. Welcome to the first post of my new newsletter, Access Granted.

It’s fascinating to think about how disability focused narratives could possibly use inaccessibility to craft a more immersive world

Grant Stoner @supercrip1994.bsky.social · Sep 5

For six years, I've had the privilege to professionally critique accessibility in games. For the first time in my career, And Roger is making me rethink how I should evaluate and reframe things as inaccessible. Read my first byline for @gamespot.com here:
www.gamespot.com/articles/can...

Can Inaccessibility Make A Game Better? This Game Makes A Strong Case For It

And Roger isn't very accessible, but maybe that's the point.

She thinks they’re so beautiful and each time i have to remind them that’s how they kill the native wildlife 😭

can’t believe they finally found ME/CFS to have genetic differences and indicators, if i ever hear the words ‘lightening process’ or ‘graded exercise therapy’ again it’s on sight

I've never been so supported, held, fully understood and enabled to be my true self within a relationship.
I've also never had a relationship propel me to grow, heal and expand in such a delicately beautiful way.
To many more years ♥️♥️♥️

Grant Stoner @supercrip1994.bsky.social · Aug 2

Happy two years of loving @p0ppyfield.com! Every day with you is infinitely better than the last, and I'm so thankful and happy you're in my life. I love you beacon!!

Props to my local pharmacist today who let me know about being able to pay yearly up front for my prescriptions, saving me 2/3rds of the cost. I don't get free medication but prepaying is SO much cheaper! The link for those who might not know is www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/help-nhs-pre...
