The gaming industry is one of the world's greatest success stories, with players and customers only spending more and more on this highly profitable industry every year. As new developments and updates are made to the range of consoles, games, and equipment that are currently on the market many are questioning whether there needs to be more inclusivity for those who suffer from disabilities. Although many people are able to overcome the issues they face when gaming, this often takes a while and could deter them from wanting to play games regularly. Rather than having them overcome said problems and symptoms it is my opinion and the opinion of many that gaming companies should be looking at ways to accommodate their issues. The short answer to the question of whether or not game consoles should be made more disability accessible would have to be yes, if those who said conditions think that there is a need for changes to accommodate their requirements then why should the multi-billion dollar companies in charge not fulfill this need. Most of the required features would be small changes that would cost little for the companies to include, but mean the absolute world to those who do not feel included within the industry. This article will be looking at the many ways people with disabilities are not properly taken care of within the gaming industry, as well as making suggestions on how to overcome these issues and potential changes that could be made to gaming consoles and equipment. If you are someone who is suffering from a disability that is affecting your ability to game then I would highly recommend that you continue reading for some of the best advice. How You Can Help Make a Change If you want to help make a change then encouraging your fellow gamers to reach out to the companies in charge of designs and development would be a great place to start, if they get enough requests to consider this then they would be stupid not to listen to their paying customers. Although it could be argued that the gaming companies who have control over the latest releases should have included some of these features already, you may find that once enough attention is brought to an issue they do seem to listen and try to accommodate the needs of those who invest so much money into the industry. Controllers One of the biggest issues to be faced by those with disabilities in the gaming industry is the lack of accommodation with the release of new controllers. Even with the latest releases, it seems that the controllers are only getting bigger, which for people who suffer from mobility issues in the hands could be a big problem for comfortable usage. One recommendation I would make in order to make the gaming world more inclusive would have to be releasing controllers that have smaller sizes, comfortable hand grips, and maybe even customizable features where the customer can tailor the… Continue Reading

For the last couple of years, people were asked to stay at home to work in order to protect the general public from the spread of covid. However, in the last couple of months, people that are able to have been returning back to work. The majority of people that work in manual labor or similar practices have now returned to work, but people that can work in an office or do computer work have been given the option to work from home. A lot of people prefer going into the office, as it gives them a chance to get out of the house and communicate with people that live outside their household. However, some people have got used to working from home and it works around their lifestyle better than going into the office. If you were working from home during the pandemic, then it is likely that you were guilty of working from your bed. Not only does working from your bed have a negative impact on your physical health, but it can also get in the way of your productivity. In order to be able to work from home successfully, you need to have your own at-home office. This may mean converting a bedroom or a spare room. If you have never made your own office before, you may not know what you need to include or what you need. Here is how to set up the perfect office when working from home. Large Desk A big mistake that a lot of people make when they are setting up their home office is buying a small desk. When you are setting up your office, it can be tempting to get a small desk that does not take up too much room. As humans, it is a normal habit for us to focus on aesthetics before practicality. You may think that you only need a desk for your laptop or computer, but once you start actually working, you realize that a lot of other items take up space too. Though businesses operate mainly online these days, it is likely that you will have to deal with some paperwork or files, which you will need to be able to access when you are on your computer. If you do not have space for your computer and other materials, then you will likely get frustrated or start to lose things. For this reason, it is worth getting a large desk to work from. I would recommend an L shape desk. This way you will be able to work on your computer on one side of the desk and then do paperwork on the other side without any confusion. Good Desk Chair When you spend a lot of your working hours sitting down, something that you will notice is that you… Continue Reading
