The simple version is that color blindness is caused by a physical problem with your eyes. If you don't have the parts required to detect certain colors then no glasses are going to fix that. They're just tinted glasses, the guy in the video tries three different pairs from different companies and all they do is tint the world a hideous shade of pink/magenta.

As someone else said above, what they can do is change your ability to differentiate between objects of slightly different colors. You might have a really hard time telling the difference between red and green, but find it easier to tell the difference between hideous vaguely reddish magenta and hideous vaguely greenish magenta. They don't grant you a greater range of color vision, but they do change what color is actually hitting your eyes. Mostly into hideous magenta.

FWIW the guy in the video points out that in his experience it generally made colors harder, not easier, to differentiate.

I wish you the very best of luck getting all the issues sorted out! I love hearing about accessibility in tech, whether that's in web browsing or gaming or whatever, so I'd love to regularly lurk your communities

I'm disappointed I missed the chance to get one of these. It seems like such a cool thing. I'm holding out hope that they'll revisit the idea someday.

That's, uh, literally the exact thing I explicitly said I don't want to do

I don't want the games all in my library. Retrodeck is one non-steam game addition in your library and then you launch it and all the emulated games are browsed through the retrodeck UI.

Lots of emulated games, mostly. Retrodeck is kinda jank but when you figure it out it's such a convenient way of using most emulators you'll need.

What do you mean "now?" Always been like this where I am.

They're communities. And the different servers/sites are instances.

the way it is cited

The way that it isn't cited*

[–] Venus@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That's just not how citing sources works lol

[–] Venus@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Where in the article did you find that link?

[–] Venus@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just saying that someone said something is not citing a source. They taught us this in elementary school.
