2·
1 month agoI got pretty severe tinnitus after getting in an accident last year and it’s by far one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever experienced. However, what really saddened me after i got it was learning how relatively little research is going into developing treatments despite the overwhelming amount of people who have to deal with it every day. The idea of living with this the rest of my life is extremely depressing.
I used to have a friend who was born with his left hand disabled and could only really play videogames on easy unless they had heavy accessibility options. Whenever i see these weird “dark souls needs to be hard” people i cant help but think about him and how he’s barred from playing these deep, visually impressive games because the community starts sending death threats at the mere mention of an easy mode.
