    Enjoying #BigWalk so far, except for the game&#39;s high difficulty. And by this I mean: Finding suitable dates for co-op play sessions among five busy adults is an absolute nightmare.

    I&#39;m currently working on additional backgrounds for &quot;Learning the Ropes&quot; and spent the last couple of days experimenting with different colour schemes for the waiting room of the BDSM studio. Let me know which one you like best! #GameDev #GameArt #VisualNovel #SexWork

    Heute um 14 Uhr geht es bei den German Dev Days um #Sexarbeit: Katharina Ziolkowski und ich stellen unser Projekt &amp;quot;Learning the Ropes&amp;quot; vor und kontextualisieren es in der Spielhistorie, die geprägt ist von Stereotypen und Stigmata.

    My best friend surprised me with a couple of birthday gifts today, all of which are awesome, but my favourite part is this little hand-drawn Lae&amp;#39;zel on the envelope. I love her so much. #BaldursGate3

    I&amp;#39;ve been spending a lot of time on trains lately and decided to use this opportunity to work on a new #embroidery piece. Something more light-hearted for a change.

    There is only a single volume slider, changing the master volume. This is far below current industry standards, which highly recommend having at least sliders for music, voiceovers, ambient sounds, and SFX. People who cannot hear subtle audio cues or who experience overstimulation, for example when the metal detector items keeps beeping, are simply out of luck. That’s unacceptable.

    Von einer Verkürzung zu sprechen, wäre maßlos untertrieben: Zelda selbst war Schriftstellerin, Künstlerin und sogar Prima Ballerina – doch ihre Karriereambitionen wurden von Scott gezielt unterdrückt, um ihre individuelle und finanzielle Eigenständigkeit zu verhindern. Ihr Debütroman wurde von Scott und seinem Verleger radikal gekürzt, seine Veröffentlichung hinausgezögert. Schlimmer noch: F. Scott Fitzgerald machte seiner Ehefrau das Leben auf allen Ebenen schwer und verfolgte das Ziel, sie wie...

    I started playing #BluePrince a few wheeks ago on a whim and it turned out to be one of the most engaging games I&amp;#39;ve experienced in years. I love it to bits. Still, I hesitate to recommend it. Why? It&amp;#39;s an #accessibility nightmare. Let me explain.

    So many riddles and basic mechanics in the game rely entirely on colour perception. Take for example the billiard room riddle: It will present you with a series of mathematical equations you have to solve in order to get valuable resources. However, the mathematical functions are only represented through colours, which people with colour vision deficiency will likely struggle to identify. There are no other channels to fall back on, like symbols corresponding to individual colours, a solution...

    This is an incredibly specific request, but I&amp;#39;m hoping for some Fediverse magic: Does anyone here own a Nintendo Hands Free Controller AND could take a photo of it for a CC-BY-SA 4.0 licensed OER project? Any help would be much appreciated, boosts included! (Edit: I already reached out to a few users on Reddit as well as two museums, thanks everyone for the suggestions!) #OpenEducationalResources #Nintendo #Accessibility #Gaming #RetroGaming
