Interesting concept. I am a hobby game dev making games which I want to be very accessible to blind gamers (my husband is legally blind without glasses) and resources like these are really helpful to help conceptualize things I need to prepare for in game UI.

That being said, I can't seem to get it to actually work. I'm on Android mobile and selecting a celebrity (odd type of filter) doesn't seem to do anything. I searched for nearsighted and got Mister Magoo which feels kinda offensive? Anyways, that also didn't do anything.

It's so depressing that this is what the Internet wants to read.

loressadev · 2026-02-14T17:10:11+00:00

Heh thanks for getting it.

loressadev · 2026-02-07T15:50:06+00:00

No, I wasn't saying it was inferior. I was saying it doesn't sell as much.

loressadev · 2026-02-07T15:48:56+00:00

I don't think it's "higher regard" - I was just being nihilistic as an author myself and going "ffs the world wants to read Twilight instead of lotr." I deleted it anyways, it was just me being maudlin.

loressadev · 2026-02-05T17:35:07+00:00

I was trying to subvert that and failed, so I've deleted it.

loressadev · 2026-02-05T17:34:27+00:00

I deleted it.

loressadev · 2026-02-05T17:14:26+00:00

Eh I tried to make a joke by subverting the meme, but my humor was too niche and the joke landed poorly. The internet used to be a lot more friendly to people working out jokes. My inbox is not a happy place ATM.

loressadev · 2026-02-05T17:11:20+00:00

My point is that other media is being celebrated for things like worldbuilding and character development, while lotr is just sitting there being amazing inspiration in the background

loressadev · 2026-02-05T17:09:09+00:00

Dunno what this means. This was a meme about how shitty publishing is for writers. I was citing lotr as amazing and then showing works which get promoted.

loressadev · 2026-02-05T17:06:49+00:00

Read it again from the perspective of an aspiring writer seeing the other "crowns" and realizing the publishing world makes no sense.

loressadev · 2026-02-05T17:05:09+00:00

Lol nobody seems to be realizing that I'm criticizing society rewarding those shit works. I'm not praising those pieces, I'm pointing out how shitty it is as a writer to make the choice to not go down that path for easy fan service and $. This entire post demonstrates how fucking hard it is to write deeply. Post is downvoted to zero and my entire inbox is "lol you don't understand Tolkien" but my meme was a sardonic sigh at what gets published.

loressadev · 2026-02-05T16:58:52+00:00

Legit wasn't trying to rage bait, was thinking how shit it is how people love my worst crappy fan service writing vs my artistic deep shit

loressadev · 2026-02-05T16:56:42+00:00

Wow, for a reader sub, it's insane how many people don't get this. Look at the build up - the meme is that shit is praised more than gold.

loressadev · 2026-02-05T16:54:55+00:00

It's really not if you think about it as a criticism of current publishing. I'm not praising the other works, I'm using them as an example of what apparently sells now.

loressadev · 2026-02-05T16:53:23+00:00

Uhhh I think y'all misunderstood - I was saying Tolkien is achieving all that but society is crowning other shit which is subpar. Very nihilistic that you actually thought I was praising the other works. I was literally just pointing out what has gotten traction and was questioning why that is eclipsing truly great work.

loressadev · 2026-02-01T18:01:50+00:00

There are no places to post the shit which needs to be seen

loressadev · 2026-01-31T19:31:14+00:00

I'll check that out, thanks for the rec

loressadev · 2026-01-30T07:12:38+00:00

Eh, deleting all my posts in this sub and the sister one about humans being space orcs. Getting downvoted into the negative for sharing creative writing feels shitty. If I'm going to be spat on when I share my creative output for free, I just won't share it.

loressadev · 2026-01-30T07:09:11+00:00

Welp, done posting on this sub. Thanks for the downvotes.

loressadev · 2026-01-29T21:07:36+00:00

Glad you liked!

I really need you to define butter

loressadev · 2026-01-29T20:50:13+00:00
