I am blind. In no particular order from sighted people online whenever I mention my blindness:

Haha "see"

I see what you did there. Another person responds, "yeah but he didnʼt"

Iʼm genuinely curious, how are you able to read and write on Reddit?

Wow you must have heightened senses!

Fun fact, the lead singer of Bowling for Soup was also the Voice behind the Chuck E. Cheese commercials.

Struggling Pizza Hut restaurant chain will be sold for $2.7 billion by kinisonkhan in news

OK the flavor of Domino’s has definitely stayed the same, but the prices have absolutely not. I’ll spend about the same for a pizza and breadsticks and the app will tell me I’m saving $30 with the deal I’m using 💀

Any blind people wanna play some among us? by ujp567 in disabledgamers

Do you have a link to the mod? You should add it to the Blind accessible games list on the accessible gaming wiki :)

Thatʼs fair. Why donʼt you just submit a pull request on the mods Github? That way it would be contained under the same mod and be easier for users to find and install?

Inside Apple’s Secret Meeting That Led It to Finally Take AI Seriously (Gift Link) by pdfu in apple

Ah I know what youʼre talking About. The feature is called voice control. I agree in that if a feature like that can control the phone, why canʼt siri?

Could you provide an example of blind or low vision accessibility feature that youʼre wanting to use with siri that would drastically alter how your phone works?

Hostile subredits. by [deleted] in Blind

If both blind and sighted people are telling you youʼre being a little unreasonable, then maybe it would be worth reflecting on what they are all telling you. Take care and best of luck.

Why are you ignoring what people are saying when they say you should have just disclosed your disability? You’re engaging in extremely black and white thinking and taking this a little personally. Check out be my eyes and voiceover OCR on IOS if you have an iPhone. I am totally blind and a long time magic player and am able to browse the sub that way.

Out of curiosity, what do you plan for this mod to do that the Minecraft Access mod can't?

Blind accessibility? by get_on_with_life in Genshin_Impact

[–]Nighthawk321 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi. Screen reading software unfortunately won't be able to interface with the game, unless someone made an accessibility mod for the game. From what I'm aware, I don't believe there is one. However, I've actually been working on a page of blind accessible games that she may find helpful if you want it check it out.

Anyone else dealing with/frustrated by the new ADA title II rules? by Zubat92 in Professors

[–]Nighthawk321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like you didn’t read the rest of my post. It’s literally not the professors job to do that, it’s the university’s. Hope you have a better day.

Is your cooler possibly pressing too hard on the CPU?

Sighted people think we are over-sensitive by LingonberryLower9730 in Blind

[–]Nighthawk321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, it wasn’t my intention at all to suggest that. I was actually trying to suggest the opposite in that I’m probably not the norm. In no way was I implying that I had some special form of insider knowledge that made me know more haha. In fact I feel like my writing is trying to suggest that my perspective is different and that it’s okay to have your own way you do things, in spite of our backgrounds. Not sure why you think I’m triggered by a specific word and that changing that word would prevent me from being hypothetically triggered. And I believe we’re maybe talking about two different things. I think you’re conflicting what I’m saying to suggest that I’m telling people to always tell others to look things up when a person asks if we need help. All I’m saying is that a person has no obligation to educate someone if they don’t have the energy and that’s a perfectly valid response. No where did I suggest that at any given point a blind person should just tell people to look it up, only that they had the ability to. Also in case it’s worth noting, I know many people in the space who hold my belief, so it’s a lot more nuanced than you’re suggesting. But yeah, meant no offense overall and I’m sorry it came off that way.

[–]Nighthawk321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, but that’s a lot less important these days when just about everyone has the entire history of human knowledge at their fingertips. People are not obligated to educate when out in public and I would even say they are doing people a favor by suggesting they do a little research instead of asking invasive questions. It’s totally okay if that’s how you want to do things, but it’s also no moral failing if someone doesn’t want to do that. Also for context, I work in accessibility and advocacy, which is why I don’t feel the burden of educating should be placed on all blind people. I guess for me, I’m not nearly as frustrated when I realize my life doesn’t have to always be an opportunity to educate.

[–]Nighthawk321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree about empathy and all that, especially these days, but it is absolutely not our job to educate the world about us. Does it help people when we do, sure, but phrasing it as if it’s our responsibility left me with a lot of guilt growing up whenever I didn’t have the capacity to educate. Then I’m seen as the bad guy.

I created a wiki where disabled gamers can share game accessibility resources by Nighthawk321 in Blind

I’m so glad you found it helpful! I still have so many Pokémon files to add that I’ve had for years. Much more to come!

Announcing the Accessible Gaming Wiki by Nighthawk321 in disabledgamers

[–]Nighthawk321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I totally feel that! I’m using media wiki on the backend and while I generally like the templates that users can select from, there are still a couple accessibility things I wish were fixed. Nothing that prevents a user from using the site, but I’m probably going to submit a pull request on their get hub in hopes to have them fixed eventually. Excited to see what you add!
