i think it's unfortunate that though games like the sims and the new tomodachi life are getting lauded for their lgbt representation (which is great and necessary, don't get me wrong), i haven't seen much discussion about how they severely lack any kind of disability representation. no wheelchairs or other mobility aids like canes or crutches, no amputee options. sims 4 only recently added blood glucose monitors and hearing aids in create-a-sim, but there's no gameplay functionality to go with them. i was trying to make a disabled oc in tomodachi life and i just think it sucks that lots of folks still can't make a character that truly represents them, even in 2026.

nobody talks about how humiliating it is to have chronic fatigue before you know what fatigue is 😭 just going through life constantly miserable & feeling like you are failing everything but you can never explain why beyond saying "i'm too tired" which just sounds pathetic & like you don't care (it shouldn't but it does). tired is what healthy people feel after a long productive day & they restore it with sleep. fatigue is your body never making the energy in the first place
