Edit: now with Estonian subtitles!



Today on /r/gaming on Reddit this video has been getting massively upvoted, and for good reason: it's a video made by askacapper, a quadriplegic gamer, who is gathering signatures for a petition to make custom button remapping the norm. Sometimes button configurations can be changed, other times only a few layouts are offered, and not every layout meshes well with everyone. Individual gamers may also prefer to change button layouts for whatever reason. He wants the video to be reuploaded as much as possible but instead of just doing that I also added captions, and rephrased it a bit in order to make it easy for both Google and people to translate. Here it is with the slightly modified captions, and don't forget that the cc button needs to be red to display them:







If you feel like translating it into your language, just copy and paste the following, translate the English parts, send it to me, and I'll do the rest.



1

00:00:00,001 -- 00:00:04,000

Hello, internets. My name's Chuck, I'm also known as askacapper, and I'm a quadriplegic gamer.



2

00:00:04,001 -- 00:00:06,500

And I need your help.



3

00:00:06,501 -- 00:00:09,000

I've been doing the custom button remapping petition,



4

00:00:09,001 -- 00:00:13,000

and for that I'm asking gaming developers, instead of just shipping their games,



5

00:00:13,001 -- 00:00:19,000

which nowadays have four, five presets to choose from in the button configurations,



6

00:00:19,001 -- 00:00:22,000

to allow custom button remapping.



7

00:00:22,001 -- 00:00:27,000

Which is the ability to change the button layout to your preference.



8

00:00:028,001 -- 00:00:31,000

This is important because, as a disabled gamer,



9

00:00:31,001 -- 00:00:36,000

some button layouts for games that I buy can't be changed,



10

00:00:36,001 -- 00:00:38,500

thus I can't use the layouts, and I can't play the game.



11

00:00:38,501 -- 00:00:40,000

And it's just not enjoyable.



12

00:00:40,001 -- 00:00:45,000

So it really would help every disabled gamer if this is a standard feature in all games.



13

00:00:45,001 -- 00:00:50,000

And it would really just help any gamer in general who just doesn't like the standard buttons.



14

00:00:51,001 -- 00:00:59,000

Here's a little clip of me playing. This is just an example of horrible aim.



15

00:01:02,001 -- 00:01:10,500

People call me "only use me face" because that's how I roll (that's my method).



16

00:01:15,001 -- 00:01:19,000

I faceroll in real life.



17

00:01:21,001 -- 00:01:26,000

Here's what I will do: I will go to Pax East, the Penny Arcade Expo, in 30 days.



18

00:01:28,001 -- 00:01:32,000

I will go there, talk to all the developers in the place, explain the petition,



19

00:01:32,001 -- 00:01:36,000

I will bring the petition to them, show it to them, show them your comments,



20

00:01:36,001 -- 00:01:40,000

and I will explain the benefits to disabled gamers, and every gamer.



21

00:01:40,001 -- 00:01:45,000

because most gamers at one point or another want to change the buttons.



22

00:01:45,001 -- 00:01:52,000

So I have 24,000 - 25,000 signatures at the moment. Can we reach 30,000? Can we reach 40,000?



23

00:01:52,001 -- 00:01:56,000

Well, that depends on you guys, if you'd like to help.



24

00:01:56,001 -- 00:01:59,000

This also affects computer gamers. Garrett, a gamer in the UK,



25

00:01:59,001 -- 00:02:06,000

recently couldn't play Dead Space 2 because he couldn't remap the buttons.



26

00:02:06,001 -- 00:02:09,000

Even on a PC.



27

00:02:09,001 -- 00:02:12,000

And I will be talking to PC developers also.



28

00:02:12,001 -- 00:02:19,000

So to help you can download the video link below and upload it to your YouTube account,



29

00:02:19,001 -- 00:02:23,000

you can post it on Facebook, show the links to the petition to people,



30

00:02:23,001 -- 00:02:25,000

you can read the FAQ on my website to learn more,



31

00:02:25,001 -- 00:02:27,000

and we'll see how many signatures we can get.



32

00:02:27,001 -- 00:02:29,000

And remember, this will help every gamer.



33

00:02:29,001 -- 00:02:32,000

New gamers who are learning a game can pick up a control,



34

00:02:32,001 -- 00:02:35,000

and instead of you just telling them which button is jump and which button is shoot,



35

00:02:35,001 -- 00:02:38,000

you can ask them: what button do you prefer for jump, and for shoot?



36

00:02:38,001 -- 00:02:41,000

So that's why button remapping is simply a good idea for the video game industry,



37

00:02:41,001 -- 00:02:44,000

and for accessibility for disabled gamers.



38

00:02:44,001 -- 00:02:47,000

So thanks for your help, guys, I really appreciate it.



39

00:02:47,001 -- 00:02:50,000

It will really help everybody, and I thank you so much.



40

00:02:50,001 -- 00:02:55,000

So game on, gamers. Rock it.So game on, gamers. Rock it.
