Rate Delvers Folly by Joozey, UnsytedVoices, Will, foamswords, Jennissary2 for Games for Blind Gamers 5 Delve into the manticore's dungeon and lift its curse

"Delver's Folly" by @rpgpapercrafts.bsky.social. You have arrived at the ruins of Breezecave. An underground city that was lost long ago. No room ever stays in place. No path ever remains the same.
I wrote most of the dialogue!

PSA for any blind/VI fans of markiplier: Unfortunately, the new Iron Lung film does not appear to have #AudioDescription or Assistive Listening available.
It's such a shame, because it was an excellent film, and I loved it! But I just can't recommend it without AD. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿฉธ

According to my local theater, #IronLungMovie does have #AudioDescription, #ClosedCaptions, and #AssistiveListening available! I will be watching the premiere this Friday, and will post about the Audio Description!

It's my favorite time of year: watching all my required tax documents become available, well after their deadlines, whilst I desperately try to remember which ones I need to chase down this year!

Almost everything is covered by insurance, thankfully. Very few expenses that I need to pay for myself. But god damn, I'm upending my life annually at this point. I'm gonna develop a phobia over the sound of dripping water, I swear.

Rant: I am proving rather unlucky with home ownership. My condo is now in its 4th instance of major water damage in the 3.5 years I've lived here. 2 times has been my upstairs neighbor's fault, 2 times it's been the building's fault. ๐Ÿ˜’

Just to follow up on this post of controller hunting woes: my answer turned out to be the @asusrog.bsky.social Raikiri II! No disconnects, no missed inputs, and no mandatory wired requirement for Xbox.

We just bought the ROG Raikiri 2 for our Xbox and it's been an absolute dream. Might have to look at more of their products tbh

And my personal favorite, "Tides of Annihilation" included gameplay of a full boss fight. It had a distinct narrative flow through the fight's phases, and I think I really nailed it!

During the Xbox Partner Preview a couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of writing the #AudioDescription for the trailers that were included. Below is a thread with a few of my favorites!
Tip: Enable the AD by selecting the Settings Cog, then set "English Descriptive" as the audio track!

Traveling pro tip: travel sized deodorant and toothpaste is usually unnecessary when flying in the USA. The regular sizes for these are typically below the limit of 3.5 ounces. No need to buy a whole separate travel size!
