As blind people, we do things differently than sighted people. Sometimes, our methods might be considered super weird, to a sighted person. But really, it's just us surviving in a world not built for us.

What things do you do differently, that a sighted person might consider weird?

I'll start... I have my own toothpaste tube and rather than trying to put it on the toothbrush, I just squirt some in my mouth. No fuss. Also, since I don't look in the mirror to shave my face, I always shave in the shower instead.

How about you?

Hi all, I hope you are having a fantastic day.

I am a legally blind gamer and I just picked up this game on a whim, because it was on sale, and came with a metric ton of DLC.

I have some usable vision, but honestly, I need all the help I can get. So, having said that, here's my question:

What mods or add-ons exist that make it easier for a visually-impaired player? Like, font scaling, Text to Speech, Narration, Audio Navigation, etc.

Forza seems to do that sort of thing well, and I was hoping I could approach that level of accessibility, if possible.

Hello, all you fabulous creative types.

I'm having fun with the Move and I'd like to hook up a better mic, for catching random sounds from the environment. I know the Move has onboard mic, but I would like something in stereo and a bit better quality.

I see a bunch of mics on Amazon, but how would I know if they're actually any better than what's in the Move itself?

I can spend around $25 or so.

Any recommendations?

Hi all, hope you're having a fantastic day!

I was thinking about the different consolation prizes life gives us, as blind people. Like... Sometimes I can get concert tickets upgraded to box seats. Also, I used to be able to skip the line at roller coasters, and go in through the exit. Oh and once, when I had a guide dog, they bumped me up to first class for free, just for the dog really. LOL

Not to mention also, the IRS "65 or blind" exemption.

Oh and one more thing, and this is a weird one: In Virginia, where I'm living, it's apparently free to fish. Meaning, I don't need a fishing license, as a blind person. I'm not quite sure why, but it's there if I need it.

What are some of your favorite booby prizes?
