an over-gilded doorknob

I have a bunch of health conditions that, stacked together, make me shit at playing most games. But they may have a compelling story or beautiful art and I want to experience them, so I watch gameplays.

just some examples: my hand-eye coordination and reaction time are piss-poor, so most platform games are a struggle. I had to abandon Hollow Knight in the second area bc I simply didn't have the skills to get past. So, I watched my boyfriend play it.

Staring or focusing my sight for long periods makes my retinas HURT and my eyes water like crazy, so I couldn't complete The Witcher, with its low contrast and sucky camera, but the story is GREAT. So, I watched my boyfriend play it, and some yt gameplays to see the alternate routes.

First-person anything is a huge NO, I only last 10 minutes before either getting so dizzy I throw up or getting a full-head migraine. Not ideal. But most horror games (which I love) are in first person. My bf hates them, so gameplays it is.

I also don't have the money to be spending on games and consoles all the time.

So, yeah, not all of us CAN play every game we want to, but we still have a right to experience them, and gatekeeping only showcases you're an infantile loser who is desperate to feel special. Which is honestly sad.

the one on the right is probably first, but I’m pretty sure the one on the left is still a mystery right? he reminds me of legend a bit for some reason

children of any species are very good at being annoying and very cute while doing that

You Are On Native Land collects stories and art donated by some of comics' biggest Indigenous creators such as Jon Proudstar, Maria Wolf, and Steph Littlebird. Tales of Native resistance; family and kinship; love and grief fill this beautiful collection, which includes a special reprint of TRIBAL FORCE #1, credited as the first comic to feature a superhero team made up entirely of Indigenous heroes.

But brushing your teeth for 30 seconds is better than not brushing them at all when that 2 minutes seems exhausting.  Doing ten minutes of yoga is better than 10 minutes of sitting when 30 minutes of cardio sounds impossible.  Changing my clothes is good when a whole shower is impossible.  Standing on the porch for a few minutes is worth it after being in the house for three straight days because I don’t have the energy to go anywhere.

3 half months to finish, very very happy with result. Bag good and sturdy. Take bit of figuring out to make. Strap piece wrap all way around bag so more support for heavy AAC. Strap long enough for wear cross body.

full list of symbols & words: - happy, sad, tired, surprised or anxious, angry or frustrated, overwhelmed. - safe, unsafe. - too loud, too bright, too many people, too many choices. - lift, toilet. - love, stop - i need, to lie down, help, space, to leave, company. - I don't understand, please explain what's happening.
