Two words: “Donald Trump.” Any moron can be President.
Oh, Picard said in “First Contact” that they don’t use money. No back pay for you, volunteer!!
Ageism much?
New Lucy show: “My Life Is Jedi.”
Ideally, TABs (Temporarily Able Bodieds) would boycott them in solidarity with us PWD (People With Disability) until they complied and were usable by all of us. I’m pretty sure that ain’t happening. Otherwise, PWDs just not using them is exactly what they want so they can say, “Look, no one with a disability is trying…
You didn’t get an inkling of the wheelchair/scooter accessibility of any of this, did you? One of the cruelest ironies of The Magic Kingdom is that Pirates of the Caribbean is not accessible, but It’s a Small World is.....ugh
“People With Disabilities” instead of “Disabled People.” People First Language, please.
There is apparently a Firefox version as well.
Marina Sirtis and I started a “Fuck the NRA!” chant at Gen Con 3 years ago. Glorious.
Not ironically, I think the first show they added AD to was Daredevil. (AD was initially developed for people with vision issues, but, like many accessibility options, AD is useful for sighted people, too!) Disney adds AD to many of its movies including reissues of Star Wars, etc., I think.
See Manning, Peyton
+1 to authenticity. Agree with your point. Screw the haters. Cheers.
Agreed. To use a nerd metaphor, there’s a reason that Intelligence and Wisdom have always been two different stats in D&D..... :)
I have CP with muscle weakness. I play PS or Xbox games with stock controllers, badly, but the accessibility options in the PS4 really help. I can remap every button except the touch/click pad. (Which means I call random timeouts in Madden.) I’ve loved AbleGamers from afar. Perhaps, I should contact them.
Video/PC games mostly like Madden or World of Warships. Or, OLD shows like MASH, Star Trek, Hogan’s Heroes, Get Smart, Space: 1999, etc. When my boy was like 7-8 we binged animated Star Trek. He’s 12 and we’re working our way through Young Justice, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, etc. Need to get him to…
Starting in 1997 or so I got Sunday Ticket to watch my Cowboys from Illinois. (I know...I know...) A couple years later I set up 4 TVs, 2 sat boxes and 2 antennae to watch 4 games at once. A few years ago, we got a projector and the added NFL Game Mix so I could put up to 8 games at once on my wall. For two decades…
As a person with a mobility impairment, I consider it a great safety tool and easier than holding a phone. Plus, it’s my alarm. I, also, bothered to learn the UI. It definitely feels first gen, tho, and for most people it’s not a need. I used to have Lifeline (“I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”) 20+ years ago. I prefer…
I didn’t have a clue about him until the band Tesla. I know I know. Seriously, the album’s Mechanical Resonance and The Great Radio Controversy have some nice Tesla nuggets in them. And, “Edison’s Medicine” on Bust A Nut is a classic to me. (BTW, saw Tesla last summer. The band is still kickin’ ass.)
