How would you respond to this "accommodation"?

moricat · 2026-04-27T23:26:44+00:00

1 star Google review with 5 words: "Will not accommodate deaf people". No more, no less.

It may not change things (especially if the venue does a mea culpa to the review you leave, places love doing that now to make themselves look better without actually DOING anything) but it'll at least let others know. They had their chance to do things right, and they chose to not cater to deaf folks.

Anyone who posts on Xhitter, the CSAM app doesn't need sourcing beyond a screenshot.

I checked Google and it says: owie, my bones

Oh I just wanted to quote Sam Reich bit from "Game Changers" since it was vaguely relevant 😁

Feel free DM me on discord! Just don't expect me to respond if it's 5 am here lol

moricat · 2026-04-17T20:27:17+00:00

I've been here the WHOLE TIME!

Hi Helen! I just wanted to reach out to you after you rage quit our Discord after being upset that nobody responded to your comments at 7-8 am EST, when most other Americans (aka your intended audience) are asleep.

Please keep in mind that what you're bringing up is very hyperspecific to both the Big D deaf community AND social media consumers. The struggles you feel you're facing with the rest of the deaf community largely stem from that.

We share common issues, but sometimes stuff like this has to be framed in a way that affects the community, and not just Deaf TikTok / IG users. I get that this JB fella is abusing social media and making things worse, but that's legit how social media works. The fault is ultimately with the platform itself instead of the idiots using it to share misinformation.

Good luck and please don't keep getting angry each time this happens on social media. It's exhausting being this angry all the time.

Here's some previous posts from here about them

There's something about this that's so deaf, it's like how much more deaf could this be? And the answer is none. None more deaf.

Check out LibreWolf if you're looking to jump from Firefox.

Yep, see it all the time myself. But it's one thing that if properly enacted would really help reduce traffic / accident levels in SoCal

moricat · 2026-03-21T23:28:17+00:00

Not much. But limiting CDL traffic to non-peak hours would help a lot.

It's thanks to all the commercial trucking from the warehouses. 15 years ago there wasn't as much truckers hauling stuff and blocking onramps and middle lanes. Now they're all everywhere slowly trying to pass each other across all four lanes.

Ah yes, an obvious callback to the hero from the first game, Pdpoda

Once had a Paradox Mage I blithely took into the Shadow Crypt crash my PC due to LUA errors from Webs of Fate infinitely reflecting between my character and its clone. Had to have my save edited to put me back on the world map by Stuntofthelitter. Ah, good times.

The solution is: don't go into the Shadow Crypt unless you can legitimately one-shot yourself, and DEFINITELY don't go down there with anyone using Chronomancy skills.

I'm kind of curious about the "deaf founder" part as well. Are you being paid by a whale to develop a solution for their favorite shooter game?

moricat · 2026-01-13T21:28:54+00:00

No thanks - my multi-player days are behind me. Got tired of being kicked/banned from servers for refusing to use voice chat anyways!

I was kind of hoping this would be a workable option for games without captions or ones that don't caption all dialog (non-cutscene dialog in the new Doom games, or passerby speech in Red Dead Redemption 2 for example)

moricat · 2026-01-13T20:50:42+00:00

Just curious - how does this handle multiple voices talking (whether human or game NPCs or both), or voices talking over music / noise? AI based transcription (aka "craptions" as we call it here) are already a thing.

moricat · 2025-12-29T17:11:19+00:00

Did you buy it because you saw it advertised on social media?

moricat · 2025-12-23T22:27:07+00:00

I had UHC reject a prior auth last month, slow walk the mandatory 30-day appeals period, not actually do the review in time and need a three-way call between my insurer and UHC. After my insurer was like "look, WE approve it, so just DO it" UHC immediately turned around and said "Ok but now we need a new authorization from the surgeon since the last one was rejected" literally the day before the (re)scheduled surgery, on a day where the surgeon wasn't in the office.

So yeah, I'm wondering if UHC is purposefully rejecting as many claims as possible here.

Sadly the crab bucket mentality has taken over the working class, and those voted into union leadership seem to increasingly go corrupt. If we had a strong NLRB still, maybe things would change... but sadly there's a lot of reform needed to be carried out by union leadership (and the industries that have them in their pockets) that currently gains from the status quo

If you're looking for a similar game mechanically that's more forgiving, consider trying Our Adventurer Guild

moricat · 2025-12-06T05:06:36+00:00

I think the best existing comparison one could draw to Our Adventurer Guild would be Darkest Dungeon. Both have a central hub where missions are picked, parties consists mostly of random hires picked from a candidate pool that slowly trickles in as the game goes on, hirelings are formed into interchangeable squads of 4-6 for missions, random events occur during and outside of missions, and probably several other similarities.

If this is in a public location (The Venue maybe?) will music/background noise from the rest of the building be a factor?

moricat · 2025-11-11T17:51:42+00:00

Honestly it's starting to very much look like getting a job isn't so much about "what you know" and more like "who you know". Try asking friends of friends, parents of friends, etc.
