Just curious if anyone else deals with any type of disaiblity and how it affects you whether in everyday life or playing video games.

Me, I'm blind in my left eye and sometimes it slows my reaction time to things or I just don't see things.

So driving can be a chore as I have to turn my head all the way and take my eye off seeing forward, its a harrowing experience at times lol.

I used to love playing baseball but I couldn't play for long because I couldn't catch the ball, my depth perception is all screwed up and hitting was difficult, it was a lot of guessing.

Really the only thing I could do is pitch and even then it was difficult because receiving the ball back was difficult sometimes (catchers like to throw it hard) and when I twisted into a wind up I would lost sight of the plate for a second or two and sometimes be out of position.

It affects me in EIRR a bit but I won't say how cuz then someone will try to exploit that Tongue.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

I'm Red-Green colorblind, but it doesn't affect me that much in EiRR as far as I can tell.

I have a drinking problem in that I've a nasty habit of playing EiRR after I've had a drink.

Does that count?

I mean I know Obama was the first one in EiR to get a card. and tbfh the Race card is pretty OP. but Romney has the K.K.K., those guys seem to camo anywhere. So OP units from both sides.
At the end of the day, however, stormtroopers finally got the anal invasion with a cactus they have richly deserved for years.

Theres a good video out there of a disabled guy in a wheel chair who doesn't have even full control of his hands laying the smackdown on some people in Starcraft 2. It's actually pretty impressive

Now bear makes his own funny thread. It's unsurprisingly not funny.
