Especially when I have the same disability (I see as being different/a strength) and it feels like it makes me better at the game and video games in general.
I feel it makes me really good at analyzing data and resolving problems. However, yeah, I struggle a lot with social cues, but this isn't what Manusya confuse is.
I struggle when some random lala slaps my bottoms in gridaniaIt happened yesterday, I first interpreted it as the lala having something against me, but they were just being a brat rofl.
Lala probably liked what I project, and being a brat to me is his way of saying that and getting my attention ?
Perhaps my experience of this differs from his though, in all honesty.
Like, I don't want to disparage anyone, but I don't think it's reasonable to use things like this to say "I can't do this because of X factor I can't do anything about, the game should accommodate me", especially when we're talking about leaving a lot of other players behind. (not saying the person has, but disability seems to be brought up often to like, try to strongarm change, not just in ffxiv, but in just about every game)
Sometimes, it's okay to acknowledge one's own limitations (disabled or not) and leave the areas where you are limited to the people who aren't, or find clever ways to adapt. The people around you will be happy for it, and they themselves will probably come forwards to accommodate you. Karma is pretty strong on the internet, empathizing with people and not imposing on them often leads to much more positive consequences than demanding they accommodate us.
I was pretty shocked lately, some guy I got paired with had recently lost a hand, he was super forthcoming when we got into the dungeon.
He didn't do as good as us 3 others, but he never imposed on us, just warned us of the situation and assured us he will try as hard as he can, and he really did, and we got through the dungeon without any problems.
Like, I'd help that guy again any day, though I will probably never see him again due to the nature of roulettes. :P
It's laudable when devs put efforts to accommodate people, as long as it doesn't affect other players significantly, imho, but then again, we probably all have different definitions of "affecting other players".
Lots of people in these discussions seem to assume that if a change someone is demanding doesn't affect them, it doesn't affect anyone else, especially when there's this added virtuous component of catering to a disabled person.
Also like, in that person who mentions a disability's post, he mentions that those of us that can clear this content quickly get rid of it to do extremes, savages and ultimates.
I struggle with that, first because I'm not very good with social and playing with strangers, and second, because I'm almost 40 years old and I really don't want to commit to wiping 360 times on an ultimate, I have better things to do, no shade to the people who do these things, y'all are really skilled and patient. I'm decent enough at the game for sure, I have tried raiding uwu in a static, and I was the best performing member. It isn't about being unable to do it, it's about being unable to commit and not wanting to commit. The content I do is leveling/experts/normal raids, even if I'd be able to do more, more doesn't appeal to me. Am I then to be left in the gap between experts and savages when there was content for me in that gap prior to EW ? I think my situation represents a majority of people who play this game too.
Notice that at no point I've been asking for savage and ultimates to be brought down to a level of commitment I can manage. I'm happy to leave this to the absolute chads who can commit and clear it, and am not even gonna touch on the fact that these people who do savages and ultimates still need and probably want to farm casual content.
