Showing Squirtle their new home next to a pond with a fountain is nice. A lovely little escape from a world without Squirtle.

I color match my (often already muted) clothes to the occasion, but I don't owe anyone the sensory hell that is a suit.

Hoping to be less mentally frazzled tomorrow, and time to be less fractured, so I can finally sit down for Pokopia.

I'm really excited for it, but I know starting a new game with depleted mental reserves does not equal a good time.

PlayStation shuts door on studio and PC ports, raising accessibility concerns - Can I Play That? Closing Bluepoint Games and canceling PC ports raises some concerns about the accessibility of PlayStation titles past, present, and future.

Remakes, remasters, and ports are opportunities to improve the accessibility of (older) games.

This is why the closure of Bluepoint Games and canceling PC ports raises some concerns about the accessibility of PlayStation titles past, present, and future.

High on Life 2 highlights importance of accessibility in menus - Can I Play That? High on Life 2 features a bunch of accessibility features, but the menus can make it difficult to find and adjust them.

Busy backgrounds and other design choices can make navigating menus more difficult than it needs to be.

Despite a bunch of accessibility options, High on Life 2 also set an example of the importance of making sure the menus themselves are accessible too.

Rainbow Gate accessibility review - Can I Play That? Rainbow Gate has subtitle support for many languages but missing remapping and difficult visuals hold back the game's accessibility.

Rainbow Gate struggles with accessibility despite a Story Mode difficulty and subtitles in many languages.

No remapping, dark visuals, and a lack of colorblind accessibility can make this game more horrifying than it intends to be.

How nice of Starmer to invite Trump's illegal war to EU territory while sitting cozily on the other side of the continent.

Updates do tend to get through reviews faster than the first time it's published (Firefox's checks can be ridiculously quick)

The fact that they had to label it like that shows it isn't even obvious to those who might see the colors.

Not to mention how difficult the buttons are to read / no Braille (and assuming no audible feedback).

But hey, there's a wheelchair icon *checks box*

It tells me Anthropic is the only one of the AI grifters that doesn't have Trump-aligned leadership. And / or a good sense of PR trying to cash in on this tiny ledge of moral high ground.

The Pitt's back to analog is giving me flashbacks to mid-90's hospital fun times when there was hardly a computer in sight and everything worked out pretty well.

Pneumatic tube mail was a hoot though. *Floomp*

If you're a fan of games like Portal or The Talos Principle, ChromaGun 2 is right up your alley. There are also a few fun Easter eggs, but I kept those out of my spoiler-free review.

Its colorblind mode is helpful for anyone, and overall the game should be very accessible to most people.

ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard accessibility review - Can I Play That? ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard has a cleverly designed colorblind mode and cognitive accessibility. Still there's room for improvement in a few areas.

Having played through the whole game, Marijn found excellent colorblind accessibility in ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard, and clever cognitive accessible design as well.

There's also room for improvement, especially for text sizes and a few tricky transitions.
