Re: Adaptive technology

I'd imagine that Lilly could get some semblance of her vision back, although, full turnaround isn't something I've heard of, and I probably would've if it did. There's a couple vids and tech demos out there claiming it, but they all look hideously expensive and a bit intrusive for my standards. (Cy...

Re: Shizune's favorite restaurant?

Isn't it better (since more precise and hence meaningful) if you can show she would like it because she's Shizune? :) That's emmjay's point, she's not defined by her disability but by her personality. There isn't much in the way of fried stuff on the menu there, but there's plenty of greasy-spoon s...

Re: Shizune's favorite restaurant?

Interesting. I'll have to show that video to my mother sometime, she knows AMSLAN and has done some interpreter work. But I don't know if that would be Shizune's favorite restaurant. Do they have enough fried things on the menu for her tastes? AMESLAN? Wow, it hasn't been called that in over 40 yea...

Re: Shizune's favorite restaurant?

I was invited to O.Noir a few weeks ago but at short notice so I couldn't go. I'm not so sure why anyone wouldn't just do it at home anyway: I can turn all the lights off and put something over my eyes. I did learn during intervenor training that something they use serving food to people who are dea...

Re: Shizune's favorite restaurant?

I took a co-worker out for lunch today, and can assure you that servers who are both hearing and sighted will also fail to notice you waving and saying "excuse me!"

There is also a restaurant with staff who are blind, called O.Noir. The proprietor of Signs doesn't think much of their concept.

Re: Shizune's favorite restaurant?

She's probably already going to Mozzeria . The Deaf community here is buzzing, it can be very hard for people who are Deaf or HoH to find good jobs, so this will raise awareness and provide gainful employment. My friends and I are trying to find a compatible space in our schedules to go for a visit....

Re: How long did it take until you started your second path?

Right away. Ended up with Emi the first time, finished, went for the one who had interested me most (Shizune).

Re: Have you donated to a charity after playing Katawa Shouj

Anybody know of any good charities for that sort of thing? In Canada we have The War Amps , I don't know what the equivalent in NY would be. I won a fun little contest on another forum where the prize was some DVDs. The problem was UK forum, Canada me, so in lieu of the DVDs I asked the equivalent ...

Re: Hanako's Broken Heart Club

I mean the LGBTQ community... where I live there's a number of neighborhoods where the community likes to hang out and socialize. Bars, clubs, cafes. Places to meet people and socialize. I'm in a Facebook group for LGBTQ gamers and went along to one of their social/mixer nights in the back room of a...

Re: Hanako's Broken Heart Club

@LilyKitsune: I don't intend to preach to the choir, but is there a big LGBTQ community where you live? There is about two hours away. A little less by train but train costs add up quick. Also, that wouldnt be where to find someone for me. A lot of people equate transwomen with gay guy, but that's ...

Re: Crippling phobias

I wonder if they could make a horror game that worked for blind people based on something similar to that concept. Like, it was totally pitch black, but there were some freaky noises around and you only had those and your tapping to rely on to navigate. And sometimes, that would fail and you'd have...

Re: Katawa Shoujo Made It To The Front Page of Reddit!

He did a video of indie zombie game Unturned. Apparently the game became pointless as a PVP thing overnight as his army of followers swarmed in with hacks.
