This is a great question. I am totally blind, so I usually use a feature on Windows 10 called OCR to read game menus if they aren't read by the game, also, I play games that I know other blind people are playing successfully. I have my own YouTube channel called Leo Cantos with 28 subs if you want to check outeahow I play.

I code websites by hand using TextEdit in plain text mode. When I write CSS, I show it to my sighted partner or friends with vision to have them double check that what I'm visualizing is what is coming out correctly. I use VoiceOver with an activity set that alters the way the voice feedback calls out punctuation, tab counts, and characters to make it easier to understand the code audibly.

I do much the same thing when programming games. Coding in TextEdit, writing Python, and running it with iTerm or Terminal. When my apps and programs get rather large, I'll jump into Xcode to make use of the code editing tools available within it.

Very closely, and not without breaks.

I have a large monitor at work. Large, but not high pixel density, so that everything is displayed larger without having to zoom in so much. My face is still within a foot of my screen all day though, so I need to take a lot of breaks or I'll strain my eyes pretty quickly.

It's kinda reversed for video games. I can't play on the big TV in the living room, I need to sit too close and can't see everything. My 24 inch monitors are perfect since being close means I still see most of the screen. It's not easy to play games after work because of the strain from work, or at the end of the day because they're usually fried regardless of what I've done during the day.

Maybe this will help http://ceiling.ddns.net/guides/A%20guide%20to%20playing%20video%20games%20without%20sight.html

I have a lot to say about web dev here:

I use an iPad with safari to test my sites most of the time, connecting to my local server most of the time of course. I tend to ask people about the various specifics of css and layout, but larger layout things I can usually see myself. I use VS Code, which I believe is literally the most accessible code editor, at least for windows (unfortunately not so much on macOS and linux has no accessibility support at all). On other platforms other than windows I usually use a command line text editor: vim or GNU Nano. And I also use NVDA on windows or VoiceOver on the mac when accessibility testing: I think they tend to pick out more problems, particularly NVDA, than VO on my iPad would.

with my fingers. how about you?
