June 14, 2023 35. Accessibility Settings Developers Should Use in Their Tech and Games
Accessible technology started to become more common after the Disability Discrimination Act was signed into law, with Microsoft’s Windows 95 and Productivity Work’s pwWebSpeak starting the trend in the 90s.
As we moved into the 21st Century, Microsoft released Windows 2000, which came with an on screen keyboard.
In recent years, technology has grown even more accessible, even to the extent that disabled people are now able to play video games, and settings now exist for them to use keyboards and trackpads easier.
In this episode, I give suggestions on what accessibility options should exist to me technology and games even more accessible.

June 10, 2023 34. How Home Automation Makes Taking Care of Homes Easier for Disabled People
The term ‘home automation’ was coined in the automobile industry about 1940, to describe the increased use of automatic devices and controls in mechanised production lines. Like many other things, it has continued to grow since the 1990s and the 2000s, and while the creators of some films that have premiered in the last 40 years didn’t get everything right, some noticeable films that have came out which feature home automation include the likes of ‘Back to the Future 2’ and ‘Despicable Me’.
In this episode, I summarise the ways home automation makes it easier to complete day to day activities.

June 04, 2023 32. How Streaming Services, Gaming and Video Chat Software Made it Easier for Disabled People to Shield During the Coronavirus Pandemic (DHM2020 First Ep)
No one was expecting the 2020s to start out like they did, after the Coronavirus Pandemic decided to pay us too long of a visit, that saw us all longing to throw it out of society by the end. During this time, every government around the world (apart from Sweden) decided they couldn’t trust the human race with anything, and as such, we were all grounded until further notice, and told we weren’t allowed to meet up with friends.
But during these times, we were in encouraged to meet up with friends via digital means, such as through gaming, through inline video chats, and by streaming the same content as each other into each other’s homes.
In this episode, I outline the ways that streaming services, online gaming platforms and video chat software helped disabled people to self isolate.

May 30, 2023 30. The Manfrato Variable Friction Arm / Should You Buy It or Equivalents?
Based in Northern Italy, Manfrotto is a company that designs, manufacturers and markets camera and lighting support equipment for photographers / videographers. But while their tripods and arms are helpful with photography and when you're shooting videos, they're also helpful when it comes to helping disabled people to game, who often need help holding down more than one button at a time.
In 2021, I loaned in one of Manfrotto's mounting arms in from the Special Effect Gaming Charity. In this episode, you’re going to hearing another part of the Experiments of Adaptive Gaming series, as I tell you whether or not a Manfrotto Variable Friction Arm helps disabled gamers hold down two buttons at a time.
