this is what solarpunk means to me. You find a printer. You fix it. You ask someone to please take it off their account and then they do and let you know. Beautiful. 100/10, wish printers didn't have to be tied to accounts in the first place but this is nice.
A lifesaving injection given at birth to prevent severe bleeding has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.
talk to your coworkers about this. remember that the "taking advice from everyone except the experts" thing cuts both ways. you can be the non-expert guy at work who isnt an expert and gives someone advice they decide to follow based on vibes, but your advice can be the right advice instead. this is something we can all do.
the vitamin k shot has zero side effects, it is literally just a vitamin that does nothing except prevent babies from bleeding to death internally. its one of those things that does absolutely nothing except what it's supposed to do, is cheap, and has drastically reduced infant mortality this century and the last

I made this post because I am disabled and no matter how much I practice there are some games I will never be able to play because I physically cannot move my fingers the way you have to and the responses to this post from other disabled people, people who grew up unable to play video games, and people who just aren’t very good at them has been extremely enthusiastically positive, while people who apparently can’t conceive of the idea that some people will never be good at gaming condescendingly comment, tag or send me asks telling me to try easy mode or to get good despite the fact that the feature I’m describing already exists in some games and mods. if you’re part of the latter group, consider that some of us can not ever be good at video games and we still deserve to be able to participate and have fun
Ok, real talk, if you play PC games I use a program called Wemod that has settings for almost every game ever and you can change them to suit your needs
Unlimited health? one hit kill? unlimited items?
They can’t mod multiplayer games, but every genre of game imaginable is on Wemod so I use it for everything from stardew valley, subnautica, hades, farming sim and more!
It mods the games to your level of ease without needing to mess with any files or get deep into webpages for mods yourself
It is a life changer
One, this is older siblings who watch younger siblings play erasure, two that’s not the point. People deserve to enjoy the experience of playing a game for themselves. Watching someone play is fun. Playing yourself is a different kind of fun.
There are so many reasons why someone wouldn’t want to be challenged by a game, and it’s ridiculous that people can’t fathom someone requiring a different gameplay than themselves.
Back in the dark ages when I was a kid and we got our first computer, my dad noticed that I was sad because I wanted to play computer games like him, so he would let me play his games in god mode. Should a five year old have been playing Ultimate Doom? Absolutely not. Did I enjoy the shit out of it, particularly the part where I couldn’t die and could just wander around aimlessly machine gunning demons to death with no real goal in mind? Hell yes.
Also, no one should have to explain the reason they want to play the game in god mode.
That is absolutely none of your business, if someone wants to play the game with max items, weapons, armor, money etc., whatever reason they’re playing that way for. YOU, the anon on the internet have no business knowing or shitting on how they play. It’s THEIR game, and THEIR gameplay experience. and I hope OP was able to play their game the way they wanted to without being stymied by the games mechanics.
Can I Play That provides accessibility focused game reviews and news. For Disabled Gamers, By Disabled Gamers.
Can I Play That? is a fantastic resource for fellow disabled folks who want to play video games, as well as non-disabled video game devs who want to make their games more accessible. I highly recommend checking it out!
Okay, I actually had a chance to go look at the WeMod site I linked above and discovered that they’ve actually kind of upgraded to Wand: https://wand.com/news/introducing-wand
Basically, WeMod started with the goal to make it easy for anyone to mod their games. Wand’s mission is to make gaming magical by removing obstacles to having fun - which in practice means providing the infrastructure to make every game accessible for anyone, which means options because accessibility means different things to different people!
From their website linked above (transcription under image):
From Mods to Magic
Accessibility in games is often misunderstood, and the definition is often too narrow. Everyone needs game help of some kind, whether it’s looking up an item location or playing on easy at first.
Accessibility isn’t about getting rid of the challenge; it’s about adding choice. The ability to decide what experience is meaningful to you. WeMod excelled at making games easier, harder, or changing mechanics to make them more fun. But to build a complete game accessibility tool, we were missing one crucial element: game guidance.
To truly make games accessible, we had to fix game guidance. You shouldn’t need to leave your game to search ad-riddled wikis and dodge spoilers just to complete a quest. We want to recreate the comforting joy of a glossy strategy guide filled with lore, art, and tips. An optional assistance layer for your game that doesn’t break immersion while it helps you get more out of your game.
We decided to build tools to address both sides of game accessibility: assistance and guidance. When we saw it all together, in one easy-to-use app, it felt like something new. Something that felt… magical.
Introducing Wand
Wand makes gaming magical by removing obstacles to having fun.
We provide challenge when you want it, assistance when you need it, and guidance when you’re stuck. A seamless layer on top of your game lets you access the exact kind of help you want without breaking immersion.
Wand makes gaming magical. Have more fun in thousands of PC games with game customization and in-game guidance.
So yeah, I’m really looking forward to playing with this! So glad it exists!
