FUNDRAISER EVENT Guide Dogs 250 Challenge

From 24th April to 16th May, I'll be taking part in a fundraising campaign for Guide Dogs!

"Every day 250 people in the UK are told they’re losing their sight. It can be devastating. People with a vision impairment are more likely to encounter depression, loneliness, and unemployment. Guide Dogs helps people with sight loss live the life they choose, but we need vital funds to do this. That’s why we need you to be a game changer and take on the 250 Challenge." - Guide Dogs Website

During this time, my Challenge is for streams to be at least 250 minutes long. I also plan to donate an extra £1 for every sub to my channel. And! I've set up a few goals, with incentives to look forward to:

Level 1 Goal £250 : If we hit this, I will sponsor one of the puppies! Level 2 Goal £500 : If we double our 250 goal, I will sponsor two of the puppies!! Level 3 Goal £750 : If we manage to triple our 250 goal, I will sponsor all three puppies!!!

Streaming for 250 minutes (just over 4 hours) doesn't sound like a challenge for most, but for a spoonie like me, who can't regulate their energy levels, it sure can be!

I'll do my best, but in the event I'm unable to meet the 250 minute minimum, we'll have to think of a fun forfeit or something (be gentle).

Regarding the sponsor puppies, the first will be chosen at random, and the second will be via a poll on my fundraiser page.

I was originally gonna include JonTron but he's not TGWTG enough.

X-Box is blocking third party controllers that enable disabled people to play for no reason but the normal corporate go-to: greed.

[thedisablednaturalist]

I screenshotted the ask bc I blocked them bc I don't think they'd listen anyway and I don't need anymore of this shit in my inbox on my birthday

What a dumbass ask. It's not just MY experience. Its MILLIONS of peoples experience. (65 million is the estimate). I don't give a fuck if I can see the pores of a character or if theres perfect physics for trees blowing in the wind. Our wheelchairs are parts of ourselves and it is Devastating when seemingly no one cares about including us while marketing their games as the most diverse game ever made.

I don't give a fuck if the "physics are complicated" EVERYTHING in a video game is complicated. Making a realistic gun that lights up and has every mechanism perfectly rendered is complicated. Video games are complicated. Y'all would rather have 5000 animated clothing options than include 1 wheelchair. I'm not asking for them to include like, something benign and just for me. I'm not asking everyone to put one specific hairstyle that shoots fireworks out of my head in every single game. This isn't a frivilous selfish thing to want. This is something that MANY people are asking for. A dad asking modders if someone could make a wheelchair mod for their young daughter who's in one and wants to play Minecraft as herself. Disabled Stardew valley players who see all the amazing mods on nexus but there's like, I think only one mod that adds wheelchairs? (And yet theres hundreds that ADD A WHOLE NOTHER MAP and NPCS and yes, VEHICLES AND BODY MODS)

Also? I still play video games? I don't boycott any game that doesn't have wheelchairs?? I just get kinda sad and go oh well

Also, I'm not going to learn an entire new field that people literally go to college for years to master to make my own game. I'm out here trying to keep my area's streams from being filled with concrete and sewage. It's insulting to game developers to say "why don't you just make your own game idiot" as if it's that simple.

I'm disabled + chronically ill. I'm already doing too much and you want me to add on making an entire game to that? There's no logic in it. Like you're giving me the choice of "make my own game or shut up"

I do try to make my own content (as well as doing actual outreach and activism in the offline world). And the only games I've called out are ones that rake in millions of dollars and have large enough teams or enough money to bring more people on (I think I've only called out one actually). I support indie creators and boost their games when I am able to on this blog and my main.

Nice way to spend your time going after a minority (oppressed person? Idk) for pleading for representation in gaming. Get outta here.

[imnerdhaveapraxia]

Hey everyone. Today I want to talk about how be twitch streamer is lots harder for me than most people.

apraxia. It’s a speech problem caused by partial tongue and facial paralysis. That causes like unique speech sounds. Making it hard people understand me on stream but some sample words easier to say for me. Side note how my brain works. I can say cuss words clearly than anything else.

How I communicate to my chat. I use my iPhone to talk.

Other thing effect me on twitch people hear about my disability that cause people treat you differently. First can treat me like helpless kid. Can’t do anything. Second people don’t give me chances and take time understanding what I saying. Third people can make comments about my speech disability. I know doesn’t everyone intends to be mean but, I get comments like you are drunk or that fake or I had one person ask me I’m on drugs. I don’t really like that.

✅ QUEST COMPLETE ✅ 🦮 Guide Dogs 250 Challenge 🦮

You guys are AMAZING!! We hit our £750 goal, and as I pledged to sponsor all three puppies-in-training, that means that, together, we've raised...

£1080

I just can't thank you all enough for all your love, support, and encouragement, during this event. It's been a blast, and I'm still completely blownover by the fact we reach even £250, let alone the £750!!

When I say "you guys are amazing", I mean it with every fiber of my being!! 💖 I hope you all understand how very loved and important you are.

Sponsorship money has already been sent, and I'm awaiting the welcome packs. In the meantime, please enjoy all their cutness in the video above.

You'll notice the sponsor puppies themselves have changed, and I did ask Guide Dogs about this (see Discord screenshot below). The jist of it is that new sponsors are introducted in January, May, and September. I had no idea, and I'm so sorry to anyone disappointed that I've been unable to sponsor Hazel, Frank, and Walter specifically.

However, please don't be too disheartened, as all the money raised through the sponsorships benefits the cause, regardless of selected pup. And lets face it, every single pup is adorable and well worth a sponsor. 😉

[lettersfromavalon]

For those that follow me on instagram I have deleted my account (sorry for the lack of warning)

I am done with Facebook Meta and I am done with AI theft as well as the ethical void of Meta towards life in the East and privacy in general for the the rest of us.

I’m really pretty much done with social media altogether actually. Now begins the detoxing process and next year I am going to finally delete my Twitter acc. (never calling it the other thing).

Blue sky is likely the only place I’ll be and Tumblr, going forward.

[brendathewriter]

Sometimes this complex spoonie runs out of 🥄spoons to do cognitive tasks like "use a 🎮 controller to play a complicated video game"... But I still want to relax and play something.

Back in 2020 I discovered Gems Of War - a kind of tongue in cheek, humorous mashup of Android's JewelQuest match 3 game and the classic card game Magic The Gathering.

The first thing I like is that (if I have to) I can play it with only one hand ( but that works best if you velcro the controller to a flat surface ). This is especially handy but I am ignoring all my gastroparesis diet rules and eating the greasy forbidden Margarita popcorn.

The second thing I like is that it has multiple levels of complexity I can enjoy on my good days, but on the days that TBI brain fog or MS cognitive issues are really bad? I can just wait for the game to prompt me with where to move a jewel instead of trying to figure it out on my own. There is even a mini game called treasure hunt that instead of being a strategy battle between teams you just compete against yourself to see how much treasure you can accumulate.

The third thing that I like about this game is that it doesn't take itself all that seriously. There are all sorts of humorous puns and jokes in the descriptions, comic strip type dialogue, and even in the way things are drawn.

I can't show you the HUD (because the only TV we own is broken and doesn't show the top inch and a half on the screen), but it's fairly clear and useful. Gem support is actually a very deep role-playing game with lots of seasonal components so there's a lot more depth to it than just a simple match three game, and there's a lot of the detailed complexity that classic battle card games are famous for. The HUD actually wraps all around the four edges for much of the game which greatly reduces the amount of sub menus someone has to drill through for the more advanced gameplay features.

I'm less happy about the way the most recent update has changed some of the fonts and their sizes, as it may make it a bit difficult on a small screen for those with vision issues, but overall it's an excellent way to spend your free time if you are a casual gamer looking for something different than the usual hack and slash type genres.

I started playing it while taking care of my husband in 2020 and never intended for it to replace my deep abiding love for all things Elder Scrolls related but here I am 4 years later still playing it several times a week!

[Image id: Tumblr message from @manaphy-is-a-coward : "Hi! I saw your post about wanting more good representation for people in wheelchairs. I’m an aspiring game dev who would like the same thing. Currently, I’m making a dating sim and I definitely want to include a character in a wheelchair.

Do you have any tips? It can be for personality, relationships, stereotypes to avoid, anything!

Thank you in advance.

- Manaphy-Is-A-Coward, aspiring game developer

P.S.

I know you wanted playable characters in wheelchairs, and the ability to customise that fact, but for my first game I don’t think I’m going to add customisation. Sorry!"

My reply:

Hm so I would need to know what kind of game mechanics you're planning, like is it a visual novel or something more like stardew valley? Also having more characters in general in wheelchairs is still helpful, my concern is when games WITH customization leave out disabled players. I don't expect everyone to make their player character a wheelchair user (although I'd be nice if some did). Honestly, just treat them like you would any other npc. Don't make their whole personality about being in a wheelchair but don't completely ignore that fact. It's just a way for them to get around. It's okay if they make jokes about themselves (but maybe get feedback on them by a wc user before publishing). Another thing that pisses me off is when they introduce the wc user once and then you literally never see them again (barbie movie). Like they just want the points but not actual representation. Also is it ok if I screenshot this and post it so more wheelchair users can weigh in? I'd be good for you to get multiple opinions from both ambulatory and full time users

Okay, thank you!

And of course you can! I would love more opinions! End id]

📚 amateur history, anthropology, biology, and etymology enthusiast

🍫 chocolate fiend and crazy in love with boba tea, bao buns, olives, and cheese

💡 I'm an atheist (ex-Christian) with an interest in Satanism.

🏳️‍🌈 I am non-binary [they/them] and queer, and a supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community. Anti-terf.

🟰 I believe in and support disability rights and equal access, intersectional feminism, indigenous rights / black lives matter / decolonisation, movements that aim to revive indigenous/endangered languages. Anti-fascist and anti-nazi.

☭ I'm a fan of socialism, anti-corporation, and vehemently against hostile architecture and anti-homeless policies.

My asks are open for respectful messages about pretty much anything; ask me a question, recommend a show or game, whatever ✌️

I also appreciate people fact-checking me or letting me know when I say something inappropriate or short sighted.

I don't share fundraisers, sorry.
