For me it’s too much sound input makes everything resemble the Peanuts adults talking.
One person talking is ok, two people talking is harder, three is pure white noise.
Drop music or environmental sounds on top of it and I can’t understand a damned thing.

I’d prefer text over audio, so long as I can skip the text when I am done reading. (Grr argh to the games that have both, but won’t let me skip because the NPC isn’t done speaking.)
Being able to choose either as the primary information delivery would be fantastic.

I’m a muted game player as well. Music is the first thing I turn down to negligible, followed environmental sounds. If I can’t control those, buhbye all sounds.
In the murder hobo games, I don’t really need to listen to that anyways.

Launching a new game shouldn’t shake the house. I shudder to think how loud it would be if my system volume was above 30%. I made the mistake of having a headset on when launching a new game, and the headset learned to fly.
A couple games are still loud even after setting game volume to less than 10%… They get the full mute treatment, I no longer care of they have the most amazing soundtrack, I value my ability to hear.

In a similar vein, games that have sounds for everything. I have to play with sounds off in games I enjoy, and some sounds are used to foreshadow dangers that I end up unaware of because I can’t deal with the sound of crickets or bees or a random humming that are always present. (Shout out to Satisfactory for the incredibly granular sound control, overwhelming at first, but once it was set up it is great.)
Remapping keys. I have function (and not always voluntary) but no feeling in part of my left hand, and an essential tremor that appears randomly. I need to disable some keys because I will find my character suddenly crouching/running/attacking or whatever at really inconvenient times, and with some games the controls are so touchy that I can’t aim or move in a straight line.
Not colorblind, but some games have some very headache inducing colour choices, I have sympathy for those who can’t see colour A font on Colour B background.

Turning the Stream shader feature of was the only way I could get Dune to run without a shader error crash. Good Enough is always problematic.

I was in danger of having sympathy for lawyer, then this brought me back.
Way to take a serious matter and make it comical.

Fair enough. The creative modes are definitely worth considering, you can set build cost to zero, eliminating the waiting and farming. Survival aspects can also be tuned, so you can stand in storms and feel like a god.

Why not?
(It’s not really something I’ve ever thought about since I started using the term. It kinda just is.)

I prefer Neo-Liddite. There’s a few aspects of modern tech I eschew - AI/LLM bring one of them.

I learned to type on one of these. I still can’t unlearn the habit of having to use actual force to type - my neighbours can hear my typing on my mechanical keyboard. :D
I did unlearn the two spaces after a ‘.’ so that’s a win at least.

Origami and handmade cards are very thoughtful. :)
Keep trying with the folds, one day you’ll forget to check the videoguide!
- Comment on How was your valentines day weekend? 9 months ago:
I have, many times, and nothing changes, hence why I have completely given up trying to plan anything. Like talking to a brick wall. Things only happen when I take the initiative. Special days, house repairs, appointments…
- Comment on How was your valentines day weekend? 9 months ago:
Dud. After years of having to remind, plan and remind the other half again and again, I gave up and said nothing last year. Nothing happened. Nothing happened again this year. Next up - Mother’s Day, which I expect to be equally nothing, just like last year.
I can’t wait for the complaints that I planned nothing for birthdays or Father’s Day.

- Comment on have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work? 1 year ago:
First I was asked politely to not swear, even if I was not a customer facing employee.
Second time I was cautioned was because I’d switched to swearing in another language. Manager thought it was hilarious, but they still knew I was swearing.
I spent the next five years being increasingly creative with how I swore. A temporary (and loud) revert to English swearing when I was in a workplace accident was kindly ignored due to circumstance.
There was no third warning.

There was a place like this in Vancouver, no idea if it is still there.
The Elbow Room. “Food and service is our name, abuse is our game!”
They weren’t kidding. One of our group asked for water, he got told his legs worked and he could get it himself. The food was amazing, although we did get told off for not finishing our plate.
