I still fondly remember how inclusive the minimalism of games like NetHack actually were. NetHack was the first game I played after moving to Linux, roughly 1995. I say inclusive, because I played it with a Braille display. Many aspects of the simplicity of the 90s led to unintentional accessibility. I also used to read guitar tabs in plain ASCII when they were still exchanged on NNTP groups. These days, every guitar tab site I find is "polished" and therefore no longer accessible.
- sourcepluck 2y agoThat's so terrible to hear! Is there no nice tool out there that converts guitar tabs from ultimate guitar or whatever to ASCII? Maybe scraping there big clunky websites is hard... Hmm. A Braille display - it converts any ASCII characters to Braille, but struggles with non-ASCII stuff, is that it?
- snackbroken 2y agoThis[1] bookmarklet strips everything that isn't preformatted plain text from a page. It seems to work on both gametabs[2] and ultimate-guitar[3] and probably others that don't try to get fancy with their typography. Hopefully it is of some use.
