how to decide on a programming language, a small guide

javascript: this is supposed to run in a browser

php: this is supposed to run on a webserver

c: you like to feel pain

java: you are doing this for money

bash: sheesh, we get it, you really like linux, please shut up

perl: no

rust: you are trans

c++: you don’t even care anymore

pascal: you stopped caring in 1985

excel: i don’t know what you are trying to accomplish but you should stop

Dear Fediverse:

I'm wanting to reach out to #gaming fans who have personal challenges that make some - or many - games difficult to access for them.

Visual acuity issues. Hearing loss. Dyslexia, or missing limbs or anything else.

I'm planning an article on accessibility features in video games, and would love to hear stories from people for whom those features aren't merely a convenience, but necessary for them to be able to participate in the hobby.

I'd appreciate help reaching out on this.
