Video games: Visually-impaired players call for better inclusion - BBC News

A group made up of blind and partially sighted people say more needs to be done to make them feel included in gaming.

I play computer games all the time more needs to be done to make them accesible for everybody

here’s a reminder for all you abled fucks bc apparently it needs mentioning again!!

Only 15% of all blind people are completely without sight.

a lot of us, not all, but a lot of us, have some vision. we are still blind. fuck you and your assumptions.

So Myrvin has a burn scar that goes over his right eye, but what if that burn also affected his eye as well?

So I did a bunch of research into eye injuries and how fire can affect eyes and this is the result!

When Myrvin got into the fire accident at his theater it caused a corneal abrasion and cataracts in both of his eyes, his left eye was able to heal on its own while his right has permanent damage. Leading to significant vision loss.

He’s still able to see shapes and colors but it is extremely blurry so he got himself a white cane to help navigate through unfamiliar places. Or on the very rare occasions will just loop his arm with Jackie’s and he helps out

Along with the eye injuries he now also has photophobia-extreme light sensitivity so he just kinda hates the sun for making things even harder to see. Also hates the night because all of the colors are just dark shades of colors and can’t really see that well either. So his vision is if someone put a high value of blur filter on and a high value of exposure if it’s bright outside

honestly though being blind is so expensive. do you have any idea how often I need to replace cane tips? it's an extra £15 minimum per month and it's so bullshit. like sure I can make a cane tip last two months but that thing gets constant wear and it's no longer a joy to use. in fact, I think it's actually almost harder for me to get around with a worn out cane tip than without a cane completely. like if I don't have a cane I'll stare directly at the ground so I don't fall over anything (even though I walk into people and chairs and poles and doors and stuff) but if I have a worn out cane tip I don't look at the ground and just end up trusting faulty information (which usually leads to me falling over and spraining something or aggravating my torn cartilage)

So I’m visually impaired and I straight up FORGET that some people can see if people in cars are letting them cross the road??? It’s not a death-defying sprint in attempt to not get run over???? What?!?!?
