Opinions are my own. Profile picture description: Black on white pictogram with a D20 showing 20 for a head and a game controller for a body and arms, holding a white cane.

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.
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
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.
Cool, I hope it’s all really useful.
Yes, congrats @rumster!
I’m playing Dishonored these days. It was highly recommended after I said I was loving Prey.
Is it OK if I’m not loving it? Hahaha.
The no kill limitation was really shoe-horned in there, so I think I’ll only really have fun on the second playthrough. Shame.
Prey limits you quite a bit for the good ending, but it’s still complex, broad and fun.
Pinning this for a while to get people’s attention. Please notify us when you close the survey.
[raises hand] Yeah and it keeps getting better and better with improvements to mainstream videogame accessibility.
[feverishly applauds]
Looks perfect to me!
It’s a very different vibe. I remember my first seg fault in C - kids days are missing out!
The cool thing to do now is to write it in Rust, only using the standard library.
[checks personal website]
Yes, shame on them!
Measure once, cut 38 times.
Chances are, right? At least it’s the first thing I’d check.
Yes! Hahaha, it’s so good.
Number 2 needs to flick the little switch on the SD card.
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.
