Kickstarting Braille RPG dice

Emily writes, “64oz Games is working once again to improve Braille accessibility in popular board games, this time in tabletop RPGs. This kickstarter will allow them to purchase a high resolution 3d printer to produce a polyhedral die set (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20 & Percentile) with Braille as well as print numbers. This will also allow them to continue to produce high quality Braille teaching materials that improve Braille literacy world wide.”

There’s more to this than just putting Braille glyphs on the dice – they have to remain balanced! $10 gets you one die, $50 gets you a whole set. The rewards are danged cool, too, including Braille dice earrings!

y’all i’m crying and totally off my rocker right now. i’m so stressed and upset. i fucking hate being an abuse survivor. i am not surviving. i am dying. i am being killed. i have no money - i keep hoping donations will pour in and i’ll be able to leave this town full of abusive and shitty people. or be able to afford a safe reclusive place to rent, able to afford healthy food, and maybe make my art and do more political projects.

instead, i’m stuck living in a garage that’s literally falling apart and i’m barely getting enough to just pay for food and medical things. my diet is horrible, mostly bread and rice. it’s sucks to have to eat that while trying to maintain a healthy enough body so i can go out in the world and access medical transition things. trying to pay for medical transition expenses that are not covered by my insurance. i have no job history, no GED, i don’t pass as the gender i am, i have debilitating panic attacks every day, i’m getting tons of hate mail on tumblr but it’s also my only income source. people who have hurt me in my past are creeping on my tumblr too and i want to delete it but as i said, i can’t.

my situation is getting more hopeless by the day. i’m being manipulated and mistreated at the place i live. i can’t keep up with the projects i want to do - like creating trans/queer support groups, doing my artwork, or applying for grants for larger political projects for queer/trans folks. i feel so stifled and lost and, frankly, suicidal. i’m angry that my death would just become a flicker in the growing list of trans women who were killed, in one form or another, in recent years. i haven’t been able to sleep more than three or four hours a night and when i do sleep, i have really terrible dreams about all the people that physically abused me, i won’t go into details but suffice it to say they are the scariest things ever. i’m so fearful of nighttime now it extends into my days, so i’m already fearing the next night from the first break of morning.

i need to raise at least $1000/month to cover my basic living expenses (food, medical, utilities). please donate here &/or here. and please keep reblogging til this hits at least 10K notes please.

This tiny man inspires me. He has pride, charisma, and joie de vivre. He’s going places in life. We should all strive to do the same.

Look, everyone is excited about Cr1tikal being a cutie jellybean but please please respect his boundaries and please please don’t be gross. Some people go to far sometimes and we don’t want him to be uncomfortable right after he shows his face. Yes he’s a cutie, but please respect him.

hi. uhm,,,, i feel terrible for doing this but here we go. im jude and i have this super cool gf fern @stpdmulder. but i live in brazil and she lives in the us so we have never seen each other and would love to meet.

the problem is im a disabled teen and i dont work right now and i live with my brother and his wife, that are both deep in debts. i cant go alone and have to take one of them. im going to economize as well, but anything would help. especially because each dollar is worth 3,76 reais right now.

my paypal is [email protected], im sorry, and if you could donate or signal boost that would be great and id thank you forever :-)

paranoidscully-remade-blog

ok so here’s the thing. there’s this legislation on brazil so people who are trying to donate are getting an error, but i managed to get around it

here’s what you have to do if you want to donate. you have to send me your paypal email and the amount in us dollars you want to donate in my ask. again, anything helps. i’ll then make a requisition and you’ll get an email with a link. through this link, you’ll be able to donate. thank you all so much and please reblog this version instead

paranoidscully-remade-blog

we only got 5 dollars until now. like if every person who reblogged this donated one dollar we’d probably have like 1000 reais bc paypal takes some money

paranoidscully-remade-blog

there have been no more donations like you dont need to get intimidated just because you have to send an ask. if you want you can do it on anon and i’ll just post @anon email***redacted when ive sent you the link. please dont be discouraged, everything helps, really

Lumpy old Kodak digital cameras? Yeah, they run Doom.

This port was by a bunch of folks who also ported MAME to Digita OS, a digital camera operating system used in the late 90s/early 2000s that apparently had such an impact on the world of computing that not even Wikipedia seems to have an article about it.

If you’ve had the (mis?)fortune of messing with this, lemme know how it went!

A follow-up on this one, some personal experience with this oddity courtesy of Chris Bly:

I worked at a Kodak repair center and played around with Doom on a DC290 and DC265 camera. I was a printer tech and we had one there that I loaded Doom, Donkey Kong, and Dig Dug onto. I used to bring the camera to some of the camera techs and ask what was wrong with it. They were usually shocked that a camera could run something like that. They worked on them every day and never imagined it could be used for something other than taking pictures. As for the game play, the controls were awkward. I think the shutter button fired the gun, zoom button for the lens strafed left and right.

Thanks, Chris!
