As a disabled Nintendo gamer, this conversation is personal. Access isn’t abstract, it’s lived.

PUBLIC NOTICE: Upcoming CtrlAble Interview Announcement

Hey everyone,

I’m excited to officially announce that I will be sitting down with Becca Lory, an autistic mentor, speaker, researcher, and author, for a special conversation here on CtrlAble.

If you’ve been following this channel, you know that CtrlAble exists because gaming should be accessible, welcoming, and inclusive for everyone, including disabled gamers. But accessibility doesn’t stop at a settings menu. It connects to culture, work, identity, and how we navigate the world.

This upcoming interview continues a series of powerful live conversations on disability, access, and culture.

Recently on CtrlAble:

Energy Is Access | Live with Sierra Grandy (Questify Your Life)

We explored gamification, neurodivergence, burnout, and what it means to live life on “hard mode,” and how reframing life as a quest can foster self-compassion rather than pressure.

Disability Is Culture | Tiffany Yu on Pride, Access & Power

We talked about disability pride, intersectionality, economic justice, and why access is more than compliance; it’s culture.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyXCO...

Now, we take the next step.

With Becca Lory Hector, we’ll dive into:

Late diagnosis and identity

The dangers of “high functioning / low functioning” labels

The disability tax (financial, emotional, systemic)

Mental health accommodations and workplace access

Why accessibility must move from policy to culture

As a disabled Nintendo gamer, these conversations matter deeply to me because access isn’t theoretical. It’s lived.

If you care about:

Gaming accessibility

Neurodiversity

Disability advocacy

Inclusive workplaces

Or just building a more humane culture

This is one you won’t want to miss.

Interview Date: Tuesday, February 17

11:00 AM ET / 10:00 AM CST

Live on CtrlAble (Zoom interview streamed to YouTube)

If you have questions you’d like me to consider asking, drop them below.

We are building something intentional here, not just content, but conversation.

Accessibility is not optional.

Disability is not a side topic.

And gaming culture should include all of us.

See you there.

LIVE AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR / STREAM REPLAY

Today’s conversation on CtrlAble isn’t about hacks, grind, or “doing more.”

It is about something way more fundamental:

What if accessibility is about energy, not just features?

I sit down with Sierra Grandy to talk about sustainable productivity, burnout, disability, and what it actually looks like to design systems that work with your limits instead of against them.

We will explore ideas around:

Energy management as an accessibility issue

Burnout vs. bad system design

“Questifying” life without toxic productivity

What disabled gamers and creators can teach us about sustainability

Building identity around capacity instead of comparison

This is what CtrlAble is really about.

Not just “Can you play the game?”

But “Can you sustain the way you’re living, creating, and engaging?”

If you care about accessibility, disability culture, energy, or intentional living, this one’s for you.

Question for you:

What drains your energy the fastest in gaming or in real life?

CtrlAble = accessibility first gaming analysis, culture, and lived experience.

We’re live in ONE HOUR (2:30 PM CST)

Accessibility isn’t just about ramps and settings menus.

It’s about culture, power, and who gets considered in the first place.

In one hour, CtrlAble goes live with Tiffany A. Yu, disability advocate, founder of Diversability, and author of The Anti-Ableist Manifesto.

We’re talking about:

Disability pride beyond “inspiration.”

Why access is cultural, not just compliance

Performative inclusion vs fundamental power shifts

Paying disabled people for their labor

AI, tech, and whether innovation actually reduces barriers

Why games and studios need to design for access from the start

This conversation matters deeply to me, and it’s one of the most important moments for this channel.

If you’re disabled, an ally, or someone who wants to understand how systems quietly exclude people, this is for you.

Join us live in one hour.

Drop in the chat: What’s one accessibility feature you wish every game had by default?

Accessibility first. Always.
