Wow I haven't used this thing for a while
A stupid tweet about US politics really ticked me off so I spent an hour writing about it: http://epicrive.tumblr.com/post/160959163973/nazi-punching
This is why accessibility in video games is important. People who are not as lucky as us and have to deal with health limitations need support and escapism of video games more than we do. This is why co-pilot mode on Xbox or screen readers or the fact that 1-2 Switch can be played by blind people with other able-bodied people with little to no limitations or color blind modes are a thing to admire. #important

Writing a script for a video on video game and console accessibility for visually impaired people. What made interested in the subject? 1-2 Switch of all things! Remember the story of a married couple from Reddit and Kotaku a month or so ago (wife and blind husband one)? http://kotaku.com/wife-and-blind-husband-get-to-enjoy-gaming-together-tha-1792992727
I jumped down the rabbithole of audio-only games and accessibility options and things are super complicated. Please look forward to the video!
I want to post something here, but I don't actually have interesting thoughts and time to write anything, sadly.
An amazing video from Extra Credits on Mass Effect Andromeda's animation issues, a must see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qvvmVpS3AA
Shoebill storks are super cool and super weird birds.
I probably should write a story about those creatures.
I have international followers, right?
Time for your Russian Orthodoxal Christian fact of the night!
The traditional Russian Easter greeting is «Христос Воскресе», which means «Christ is Risen», which you answer with «Воистину Воскресе» meaning «Truly, He is Risen!»

Только что обратил внимание, что в Mastodon есть Украинский язык и toot звучит как ДМУХНУТИ! https://hex.bz/media/yJSNTqabZYGoLjm_YQc
My personal culinary revelation this week: multi cookers.
They are the best. Just throw the ingredients in and cook.
Meat tastes great. I am trying to cook meat and rice now, wonder how that will turn out. Hope it's good. Otherwise I'd have to go and eat an entire bowl of garbage rice and meat.
You know what's fun? Video games. You know what's not fun? Show more
Fun fact: Nobody on my Twitter timeline uses Mastodon/GNU Social.
Yet.
@kadybat basically this whole decentralised thing coupled with personal politics of each owner of instances is overwhelming when you haven't had enough sleep, so I hope you have some time to tell me your opinion!
@kadybat would like to hear from you on stuff like Mastodon vs other GNU Social servers/instances, balance of safety & censorship, etc.
Is this open-source Twitter? The layout looks like TweetDeck, no joke.
