Who’s blind now!? Hehehe.

I personally don’t, because I still play mainstream games and have been lucky with accessibility improvements to a lot of the ones I’m interested in. The Last of Us parts I and II are incredibly accessible, for example.

Then again… I think A Hero’s Call is relatively well regarded, as something that’s also on Steam.

You could check out audiogames.net to get a broader selection, but be mindful that a lot of the discussions get quite unsavory. I don’t frequent it.

Think of it as an indie album that went mainstream. The people in the scene weren’t exactly mesmerized, but it’s still a big deal.

It’s awesome that you enjoyed it that much!

The gameplay mechanics and basic concepts are very well established in the audiogame space, so this game was by no means revolutionary within the blind community.

What’s really cool about it is that it’s approachable for sighted players, such as yourself, and the voice acting is pretty good indeed.

I also really like that the main character is a strong disabled female lead. A lot of things just happen to her, but she still *does * a lot.

Right, making it look like you know what you’re doing is a great way to advance to the point where you cause real damage. I’m glad you don’t have to do that, and aren’t getting trampled by the people who do.

Oh, uh. I’m wondering if I laid the irony down too thick. I think the comment you originally replied to is probably correct. I think your questions are typical escape hatches for men to be blameless in any situation. I can imagine you didn’t mean them that way, but that’s what’s usually meant by them.

You’re absolutely right. The most likely scenario is that the person with first-hand knowledge misinterpreted the situation. These poor men and their sensitive feelings…

Irony aside, I’m sure it’s a complex situation with different relevant points to any perspective, but the events as told line up with my own experiences.

I’ve witnessed many of the kinds of situations described here and I think the proposed mechanics adequately explain them.

He grows more powerful by the day…

I can’t watch yet, but I have to know: how angry is Steve?

You may still want to go to an ophthalmologist though. Hehehe.

I gotta say, they really should mention the weight. The fact that they don’t only suggest it’s way heavier than the camping crowd would accept.

It’s word marketing, but 40% the size of other models is pretty impressive.

Anecdotally, I’ve found camping people to be into the practicality of pods. I think it’s a smart move.

The extra small size is also good, but light weight would be even more important.

I don’t know about the second part of your question, but there’s no hits for “weight,” “lbs” or “kg” in that page

So you’re saying I shouldn’t go get four keyboards using the same specific custom layout and should instead find ways to use other keyboards? Too late! Hehehe.

Yeah, that’s a risk to consider. Not just in accessibility, but other areas. There are people setting up old Macs just to use Aperture, a photo management and editing suite that was discontinued 15 years ago.

Definitely worth keeping in mind.

You need to get out more. I totally get that you would think that’s the case, but only if you’re not exploring parts of the internet outside your bubble. It’s absolutely written.

I think their normal intake was 4 or 5 coffees. I’d expect to feel **something ** cutting down from that to 0. Maybe the decaf placebo really worked for them, most days?

I’ve been curious about them for a little while, but I don’t think I’m their target audience.

I can’t answer your questions, but I’m also looking forward to the discussion.

What I can add though, is that they’re called Ray-Ban. They’re sunglasses, they ban rays. It’s the only brand I know of whose name is a pun.

Maybe? I was surprised to hear James saying he hadn’t had any caffeine on multiple days.

One coffee a day? Those are rookie numbers!

Joking aside, that could mean there’s already significant variance in their intake.

You could maybe work this out from a meta analysis of the studies about caffeine and focusing, where the control group is actually just in withdrawal.

I was surprised by the lack of correlation between caffeine intake and sleep quality, but the takeaway, for me, is that if they were specifically looking into that, they’d need to control for other factors. And n=5 is pretty small.

Interesting stuff.
