Today is World Diabetes Day. I have type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease that is unpreventable, currently incurable, and requires constant monitoring and attention for the rest of my life. I use an insulin pump and CGM to do so, which helps, but it still is a lot of mental and physical energy.

I'm seeing a similar pattern that @ruelgaviola.bsky.social identifies in his post, including a step back in color vision accessibility from some publishers that were previously rock stars in this area. Check out his excellent articles!

Living inside Calico's craft room, Knitting Circle is a pleasant blend of breezy and brain-burny, with gameplay closer to Verdant or Cascadia. See my full preview here! @flatoutgames.bsky.social @emilykeepskitties.bsky.social @bethsobel.bsky.social colorblindgames.com/2024/11/03/c...

Bumping this up again, as there are still a few hours of the live conference this afternoon PT. I've learned so much as I've been able to dip into a few sessions. AND the full set of presentations will be available after the event!

I'm hoping to join a few of these sessions live (virtually) this year! #GAconf is a professional conference for the games industry, focused on accessibility. It's run by the IGDA Game Acessibility SIG.

I'm enjoying some solo plays of Apiary - an excellent worker placement game from 2023 designed by @connievdc.bsky.social !! (art by Kwanchai Moriya; published by Stonemaier Games; freelance proofreading by me & several others) If you haven't tried Apiary yet, I highly recommend it!

Great review from @tlance8.bsky.social via @comicbookyeti.bsky.social for Falling Skies! I appreciated Tyler's accessibility assessment as part of the review. I've been able to play it without issues, but other colorblind players could have concerns. Tyler describes this well in the review.

One of my favorite games of all time, Cartographers hits my flip-and-write sweet spot of puzzly decisions and smooth play. I reviewed and scored both main games + all 6 map packs! colorblindgames.com/2023/01/23/c...
