Accessibility

When you can’t write the code and you can’t find the tool you need, AI is the only way the thing could exist at all.

An audiogame is spatial audio by definition. For a brain that can’t parse sound location, that’s a wall, not a ramp. Text games are a real medium, and for some of us they’re the only games that work.

The anti-AI crowd keeps saying AI users aren’t using their brains. For multiply disabled people, AI is the accommodation that makes thinking possible.

AI isn’t a writing assistant for me. It’s infrastructure. It’s the difference between thoughts trapped in my head and thoughts that become articles, code, advocacy, and community. And watermarking that can’t tell the difference between replacement and enablement threatens all of it.

NukeFire is a post-apocalyptic MUD with screen reader profiles, GPS navigation, and a crafting system that stores your materials between sessions. It’s the most accessible MUD I’ve played since Erion, and it does several things Erion doesn’t.

Christian ministries for the chronically ill keep building events and platforms that exclude the very people they exist to serve. Live-only conferences, video-based content, paywalled recordings, and inaccessible websites aren’t just oversights. They’re choices.

Most MUDs are technically accessible because they’re text-based, but Erion is the only one I can actually play. Here’s what it does that every other MUD gets wrong.

I spent thirty years believing I hated writing. The problem was never writing. It was the barrier between my thoughts and the finished words, and the mom who saw that before I did.

The ultimate goal is an organization for multiply disabled people. But most of us were taught we can’t contribute before we ever got the chance to try. The school rebuilds what the systems took.

Apple disables touch accommodations when VoiceOver is active. Disability services prescribes dictation for someone who can’t use it. Both come from the same assumption: that disabled people have one condition, one accommodation, one box to check.
