Strange thread this.

I have a few disabilities (LOL) mostly around my MS. However I still try to game. Due to my sight being affected I am limited in what I can play without getting overly frustrated. I play games that don't have text boxes with small fonts, Ickle icons or shed loads of flashing screens (that would be a bad thing) Kerble, city skylines etc. My games of choice are GTA, (not PvP as I can't judge the radar with out sticking my face against my monitor) Elite dangerous and various simulators... Question is, are there any other gamers out there with disabilities and what do you play? Also, how have you adapted in order to continue gaming...

How would you get on with a flight sim? Fairly steady paced and not a huge amount going on at once?

I have thousands of hours on flight sim, including yoke and throttles, (as well as my X52) it lost it's attraction though due to the need to keep an eye on dials and loss of fine detail. (should add my MS was not diagnosed until I was i my late 30's, so before that I was fine with any game) I now use the steam refund function to try games out. However ATM GTA takes up all my gaming time. Just interested in how others have adapted to continue gaming...

Cheers, all

That story is amazing BTW...

I was just interested to see how others overcame their limitations with peripherals and displays. Mine is to sit really close to my monitor with as little light as possible in the background. I cope OK with my keyboard, however in game text chat in GTA can seem like a garbled mess when I type and I absolutely can not see any messages if I am driving/flying/shooting etc as I have to get close to the screen to read it LOL

However Elite is HOTAS and I have macros set up for most other things so there is no need to stop looking at the screen....
