I'm really excited about the new roleplay I am starting. Hope you all check it out. It should be up this week.
Yep. That's a true story from my childhood
They were from a box though. Don't care for them otherwise mind you, but the box stuff is nightmare fuel for me.

Ooh, what kind of game you playing?
It's up! I hope you'll consider joining us in this exciting new roleplay! Collaborative story-telling at its best.

Whatever the origin, it wasn't passed on to cats!
Besides carbs, dogs and cats rule.
Started the Mass Effect Trilogy remaster. It was huge at a time when I wasn't really playing games, and everyone seems to think it's the bee's knees. So far so good, but the first few hours have been excessively info-dumpy. I am sure there will be much more action coming soon.

It's a pretty good character-focused experience. The combat elements are a little bit clunky and not up to scratch, but they're really more of an afterthought to the story and characters. Just... maybe don't play Andromeda immediately afterwards. While that game improves the combat immensely, it kind of drops the ball on the story aspect. I hope you enjoy the original trilogy though!

Close to KOTOR? I spent quite a bit of time on KOTOR not so long back and loved it, so if Mass Effect isn't dissimilar I'd like to gamble on playing that.
I like multiple choice questions better than fill in the blank.

Goddamn it... I wrote my entire history fiction book with my blind main character in 1775 using… a method of cane moving (y’know, how the blind would swing their cane side to side or tap?) that wasn’t introduced until the 1940s.
Meaning… Amos would either be holding it at an angle in a straight line, or upward like a staff. Not using it like blind folks today. He wouldn’t be ‘tapping along the floorboards’ or ‘swinging my cane side to side in an arc’.
I surrender my history degree. I surrender it all. Now to go soak my head in a basin.

I think using a cane like that is probably intuitive and predates even the 18th century.
The cane might not have been white - as was introduced about a hundred years ago - but I don't think it's a stretch to think that blind people used canes that way for much of history.

That is possible. Honestly, if I were a blind man in the 1700s, I’d be doing it anyway to help me navigate the world better. I suppose I can still keep it — just don’t call it the Hoover method (the terminology for the tapping/swinging in an arc you see blind people do.)
Where is your story set?

1775, Dunbrooke, just an hour or so from Boston proper, at the start of the Revolutionary War.
Ooh, one of my favourite periods of history. Are your main characters Loyalists or Rebels?

A blend of loyalists and rebels, with some neutral.
