#blind gamers

[unbfacts]

In the 1990s, game designer Kenji Eno learned of blind fans who played his visually rich games with great effort. In response, he created "Real Sound: Kaze no Regret," an audio-based game accessible to both sighted and blind players. He partnered with Sega to donate 1,000 Sega Saturn consoles with the game to blind individuals, promoting inclusivity in gaming.

There is something wrong with gamers. They made a new quiet place game, and the main character is pregnant and has asthma. Now, Any reasonable person should be able to think about A QUIET PLACE and realize that having asthma is a GAMEPLAY FEATURE they designed FOR GAMEPLAY!!! Like, remember the Amnesia series?

(tangent) Amnesia Rebirth is an entire game where all of the horror is built around that concept from bloodborne where a woman is impregnated (against her will) and is giving birth to a demon basically. also the demon is in her body so shes like possessed and shit. COOL! Pregnancy is amazing for horror!!!!

Asthma? AMAZING for horror where you have to be quiet. it is game design MAGIC and is so cool! they managed to turn their difficulty feature into a diagetic and logical system. like, needing to find refuels for your inhaler is just automatically going to succeed in making scrambling stressful scenarios that will have you shitting the bed.

Remember Amnesia: the bunker? the famously increadable design forces you to put yourself in time scrambles where you know you'll run out of light, you know you need more rations, and you know you're almost out of fuel. Just to EMULATE that franticness and the FLUIDITY and rapid pace of gameplay is an acheivment.

Especially with the rigidity of A quiet place's near parallel world, you can't add too many fantasy elements outside of the apocolypse and the monsters (shreikers?) so turning corruption/insanity/fuel/ammo into Inhalers turns those fantastical, hard to explain systems into something so Inherently realistic and basic, that anyone who picks up the game will be able to understand the objective. V VV You have to breathe -> rasping will get you killed -> use your inhaler-> Uh oh ur out of charges -> you have to go on an adventure and find more -> that means you have to go on a crazy mad dash avoiding making sound and a single error will get you killed -> your getting closed in on OH FUCK THER IT IS -> take your inhaler -> you survived! NOW YOU HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN What did every youtube comentary slop farm say? OMG? a PREGNAT WOMAN WITH ASTHMA?? thats so UNREALISTIC. SHe would die IMMIDIATELY. Fucking forced diversity! I want to have microphone integration and play as a white guy WAHHHHHHHH!!! I can't critically think for 2 seconds and realise that this game is designed to be realistic, and be a similar experience for all players and alsot to avoid metagaming by just fucking MUTING your mikE. Like they solved a fundamental flaw with an Audio based horror game in such an elegant and story driven way. They aren't even trying to get diversity points. its purely for story and gameplay.

I've had the SMT IV neutral theme going through my head for a majority of the day.

Listening to it before bed probably won't help in getting it unstuck from my head, lol

SMT IV's soundtrack is amazing~~~

As is other MegaTen games. Fantastic soundtracks~~

I'm now imagining a rom hack or something of pokemon scarlet and violet where you'd need to negotiate with the pokemon like the demons in MegaTen; or the samurai or hunters from SMT IV being isekai'd into the Scarlet and Violet world.

How would they get on in each others worlds, do you think?

Samurai from the Eaastern Kingdom of Mikado trying to stop the big bad of Pokemon scarlet and violet, while the pokemon trainers from the game try to combat SMT IV's plot

or something idk...

I've been up over 24 hours, lol. and have probably made a very similar post in the past tbh...

reminds me of a previous post where I queried whether aside from white/black kyurem, what it would be like if you could fuse pokemon like the demons in MegaTen and what the results would be. or whether it would be looked down upon cause we see pokemon moreso pets and creatures to care for rather than outright demons.

all these thoughts simply from a tired "i have a song stuck in my head" post, lol.

Have SMT IV on 3DS but text too small for my legally blind butt to play. Someone brought it up in a similar post I complained about this.

Sucks that nintendo killed Citra I'd guess.... Why nintendo???

*uses magnifying glass to tediously play a megaten game*

hope too that maybe some day we might end up seeing a port of SMT IV for the switch and I think if they do it right that it'd be pretty neat~~~

Just give me a bigger interface to read T_T

wish I'd discovered it before nintendo killed it. I was into the emulation scene for gba games and a bunch of other games in high school but then slowly fell out of doing it cause theft is bad. and now the paranoia if I even torrent something isn't worth it anymore.

anxiety go brrr

but I haven't got in trouble yet.

I'm tired and I pray to YHWH that this is coherent...

One of the people on chilled's team is one of the top mc event players (places an average of 1st in a very similar event) and a lot of people are ranking the team higher bc of him (he is also new to this event though so people are not placing the team as high as they would otherwise)

Right and I get that. And granted idk how good Oli and Kara typically do, or how much one players point count can affect the entire team's placement.

But I mean. This is Chilledchaos we're talking about. Team TIES consists of people who play minecraft for a living.

I don't know if you've heard, but Chilled said yes to participating in this event despite not even knowing what type of competition it is. He has absolutely no clue what happens in MCC. I watched this man ask chat what the second C stood for. I watched him look at his calendar live on stream and put his hands on his head in distress as he goes "It's in eight days?!"

So yeah y'know I wonder if it can really make enough of a difference that they breach last place. Red can do okay point wise but it means nothing if the other teams do even slightly better cuz all 4 of them know how to play the game.

Like I said, we are in for a fun time not a winning time lmao

Things I’ve learned today:

A closeout is more than a sale but only if you write it in all caps bracketed by other all caps words

Blind people can’t take screenshots. It doesn’t matter how often they say they’re blind and couldn’t access your site, only competent sighted people take screenshots!

1 or 2 years later and I unintentionally framed a Gamer Angel scene EXACTLY the same way as I did in Blinded S2 Episode 16. Different context but like... damn XD

spoilers about the last bits of the 1.0 Xianzhou Loufu storyline (HSR as a partly-blind gamer)

you have been warned

ok ok ok so i just finished this and omg

(also we're gonna ignore the....errand running i guess. I have my thoughts on it, and I'm not completely "yeeaahhhh awesome!!!" but at the same time it does give a lot of context to some parts of the main story. It's less of a drag if you do it all in one go or you do it in parts, by the way. I see it like the Dan Heng storyline- you could do it, or not, but it really helps if you do it because it's kinda cool)

okay first off- I love that we got a disabled person as a villain. Uuslaly those kinds of characters get put to the side as a kind of token character or they're the hero. Dan Shu, a blind Xianzhou Loufu native, as a villain? I'll take it. Plus, she became chief alchemist. Bonus points.

anyways moving on

dan shu is just really interesting to me. I just finished that part of the story (i took the medicine. I tried not to but I misclicked. Natasha's lesson about "don't take weird medicine" didn't stick I guess). But anywyas, her outlook on life is kind of interesting, and I'm rambling but I'll sort my thoughts out at some point. Maybe. I was an idiot and didn't record the whoie thing so I"m going off memory here.

but anyways

dan shu's talk with the little girl. I kinda feel her- she's trying to make her way through life (impressive that she's able to run around the place by herself by the way, and also let's not think about the whole "girl went to the freaking Commission right after we left it having just defeated a crazy deer" thing). On one hand I get dan shu's point. You do have to rely on yourself a bit, especially if you want to achieve certain goals. But at the same time, having company along your journey is a good thing- because yes, there wil lbe times where you can't depend on yourself alone. Which is what we kind of see with Dan Heng. He was running for years, and it's only with the Express that he really gets to sit down, breathe, and start making those connections that make life worthwhile. Also screw those idiot kids, someone tell that third kid that didn't play alogn with the cheating comment that they need better friends.

and then dan shu's search for a cure, a cure that eventually wouldn't work. Imagine how painful it would be have no sight for your entire life, then get sight, and then have it ripped from year a few years, maybe months, later. I had an opposite experience- had some sight, lost it, then regained a little- but it's definitely a change. I can't explain it, but it's like finding out that you're colorblind and trying colorblind glasses for the first time, or finding out that you needed glasses. That's the closest I can get to describing it. THen imagine those glasses are ripped from you. It's hard to go back, even if it's familiar.

and dan shu has a right to be angry. she's descriminated against in a place where not being perfect is a problem- look at all those stairs, those who aren't able-bodied must have a nightmare of a time. she has a right to want a cure, to have her views. She's not right to give out weird medicine, but I guess the rage had to go somewhere....

and that's really all the thoughts I have at the moment. this probably seems all over the place and rambly but i'm still getting it through my mind. but seriously, love the little shot ot acknowledging the unspoken in the social hierarchy from Mihoyo. Really epic to see that in my new favorite game!

(Also, yes- i am visually impaired. Let's jsut say Genshin is....a bit of a struggle when it comes to combat , haha-)
