My grief is a bruise
Technicolor surfacing
An ache over time.

To be human is
To steep oneself in feelings
Speak your tender truth.

Having a lot of fun with Forza Motorsport right now and that once again made me realize that there are people out there who actually care. I'm pretty sure none of this was actually necessary to do, but whether it was PR or employees that actually care or both, the fact is that even while it's not perfect, this is a huge, huge step in blind gaming. This is incredibly fun, even if it's ridiculously difficult and has a very steep learning curve. I'm not actually sure when I felt like this for the last time. I've played the last of us but somehow I feel like this is even bigger. I imagine that implementing blind accessibility into the last of us was less work than getting a fast paced racing game playable, but I'm also sure that one might not have happened without the other. And I'm pretty sure that this wasn't some kind of business incentive either. I can't imagine that adding blind assist features to Forza would be the thing that made or broke the games sales, and I can't imagine that outside of a pretty niche player base, anyone would care if Forza did have these features or not. But it does. And I'm very grateful for it. This is actually incredible. Very, very difficult and hard, but incredible. I wouldn't fault anybody for getting frustrated and giving up - hell I got frustrated too. But then I close the game, step away for a few hours, and find myself opening it again and trying again. The amount of settings you can tweak to get the most out of the accessibility features that are there is actually quite surprising and by all the gods I want this trend to continue. I can even play fucking multiplayer with other people! Sighted friends if I wanted! How friggin' cool is that shit?
So yeah. Are there things that could be improved? Of course. When isn't there? There's always room for improvement. But considering where we came from, basically a game where you held and released one button with the previous Forza, to this? This is amazing. I can only imagine what they could do if this accessibility mindset continued. And I really hope it does. And not just for racing games. For all games. Sorry now I'm seriously just rambling.

When the words don't come, I turn to art.

This was originally a glass painting tutorial that I followed using my #fabercastell Polychromos coloured pencils.

Critical voice roars
Dimming the spark that is truth
Keep that pen moving.
