I just played a video game called Vale: Shadow of the Crown. It has a blind protagonist and is 100% navigated by audio. You need headphones to play it. I was intrigued by the premise, but worried that it would be a gimmick that wouldn’t actually hold up well.
Turns out it worked just fine and I found myself really sucked in! I even turned off all the lights and played much of the game with my eyes closed. Though there were a few difficult sections (for me, using the bow was hard), it was mostly pretty intuitive. Honestly, the biggest problem was getting sleepy after a while, because as far as my body is concerned, if I spend that much time with my eyes closed, it’s bed time.
Anyway, it was a neat story with good voice acting and I actually really enjoyed the combat sections. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a novel gaming experience, as well as to anyone who has impaired vision.

[ID: Digital art of Qibli, Winter, Moon and Kinkajou from Wings of fire showing affection. Qibli and Moon kiss Winter on both cheeks from opposite sides. Qibli has his speckled paw on Winter’s and his brown barbed tail intertwined with the icewing’s. Moon is chubby and short, she stands up to reach Winter’s snout while holding paws with him. Winter has a wide grin and intense blush, his icy blue wings stretched around his partners. Kinkajou holds Moon’s paw, while holding pink flowers in the other. She’s midair with her tail wrapped around the nightwing’s, smiling cheerfully into the direction of Moon and her partners. The background is grey with warm pink aura around the dragons and a few small hearts above their heads. End ID]
Here’s some old (from around June 26 2023) ship art for Valentine’s Day <3 (It was yesterday but shhh. I was busy and time’s a social construct)

inquisitor: what is the hero of ferelden like?
alistair: they sacrificed isolde guerrin to save connor. it was fine though because they gave me 24 sugar cakes to keep my mouth shut.
wynne: they called knight-commander greagoir a 'fucking idiot' right in the middle of abominations attacking the circle. I wasn't even mad because they suddenly had The Rose of Orlais and gifted it to me.
zevran: they didn't even hesitate punching caladrius, he was finished before we could even join in. they gave me beautiful dalish gloves.
leliana: they called the revered mother in the lothering chantry a 'greedy old hag'. she got me my favourite flower, andraste's grace, immediately after, how strange :)

The relationship portrayed between Queen Charlotte and King George is so sweet, and has a lot to say about loving someone with severe mental illness.
But every time George is on screen the American in me angrily whispers, "That's him. That's the bitch. Spill his tea!!"

Welp, the Missouri House of Legislatures just voted to defund public libraries.
I’m honestly shocked and dismayed and heartbroken. Like, I knew things were bad, but I didn’t think it was this bad already.
I’m also quite frankly shocked at how small the state budget for libraries was in the first place ($4.5 million). I’ve visited so many quality libraries all across Missouri that do so much for their communities. When I was a social worker, the local library was always the first place I’d visit in the communities I worked in, because I knew they had good services to offer and could help me get connected to other local supports. Like, even from just a heartless financial standpoint, I can guarantee public libraries are worth the money.
I’m just really sad right now.

There's no way they put that 6 foot tall man in a blood covered tank top, handed him a kitten, and expected me to be normal about it
