I’m playing The Outer Worlds. Pretty cool so far!

Lots of dialog options for stuff, as I’d expect from Obsidian, interesting lore, hard choices. I wish the slow motion mode also highlighted enemies with V.A.T.S. That would make it much easier for me to play.

It’s weird how big of a deal he made about the noise and I barely heard it.

Oh, I get the business side of it. I don’t get people wanting this, but I guess I’m just not into showboating, like you said.

I know he also didn’t want a bigger one, you’re “supposed to” use the bypass method. Which works really well, in my experience.

The good cheap brewer, but expensive. I don’t get it. Help?

Right, as an instance admin, I’m very confident I can avoid Facebook’s mistakes. I don’t have the same motivations.

The roasters nearest to me were all out by the time I watched the announcement video, so I won’t be joining in. I think it’s a neat idea though, and I hope everybody has a great time.

Interesting, thanks for the tips. I’ll try to get something halfway decent, if for nothing else than to be able to say “you’ve tried it, now go get some actually good coffee.”

Yeah, you make a good point about familiarity. Even if it’s not the optimal technique, I’m likely to execute it better than a technique I don’t know.

My guess is it’ll be fine, maybe a little funky. My friend has tried my Ethiopian espresso and won’t be blown away for no reason - not the way I expect a lot of people who go from Nespresso to this stuff would be.

One Prime95 later, you are absolutely correct.

Hm… So it could be “we haven’t needed to allocate swap space” more so than “we don’t know what swap is?”

I guess ill try hammering it hard to see what happens.

That’s fair, I’m just kind of flabbergasted.

I’d like to know:

1. Has anybody else experienced this?
2. Why would swap be disabled?
3. How do I enable it?

You can add captions to images inside text posts - those are used for alt text. You can’t add alt text to image posts though.

Trust me, I would know.

Incidentally, they’re automatically adding the subreddit and post title together for the image’s alt text, which still doesn’t include OP’s name.

You saved me a click, thanks.

Importing esthetic preferences over accessibility tells me a lot about the content…

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.

Think of it as an indie album that went mainstream. The people in the scene weren’t exactly mesmerized, but it’s still a big deal.

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.

Right, making it look like you know what you’re doing is a great way to advance to the point where you cause real damage. I’m glad you don’t have to do that, and aren’t getting trampled by the people who do.

Oh, uh. I’m wondering if I laid the irony down too thick. I think the comment you originally replied to is probably correct. I think your questions are typical escape hatches for men to be blameless in any situation. I can imagine you didn’t mean them that way, but that’s what’s usually meant by them.

You’re absolutely right. The most likely scenario is that the person with first-hand knowledge misinterpreted the situation. These poor men and their sensitive feelings…

Irony aside, I’m sure it’s a complex situation with different relevant points to any perspective, but the events as told line up with my own experiences.

I’ve witnessed many of the kinds of situations described here and I think the proposed mechanics adequately explain them.
