lmao @ that carpel tunnel shit, it's a really pathetic sign of social decline that even in video games we have to make all sorts of accommodations to idiots who give themselves easily avoidable disabilities
Fair, but they were only having me press square fast enough to break free of Electro to make things fun for me in the first place
And I say this as someone who maintains a personal ire over PGA Tour Inc. v. Martin, where in 2001 the Supreme Court invoked the Americans With Disabilities Act to require the PGA to let golfer Casey Martin, who had congenital circulation issues, ride a cart in competition even though the rules of golf, which predate the US Constitution, say players must walk the course and if he can’t handle that it just meant he was not good at golf, like quadrapalegics are not good at basketball but that doesn’t require the NBA to switch to playing bridge
On the other hand, can confirm, all those infomercials where it’s like “are you tired of THIS ::actor fumbles object ridiculously:: ?” and you’re like “who DOES that?”, the answer is people with neuromuscular issues with their hands. I totally do the thing where I intend to open a package neatly and rip it up like a barbarian, that is if I don’t have to cut it open cause the pull-tab is too small to get a good grip

it is amusing to me that Americans are so upset about the thought of gawking at the disabled that we can’t make ads with actual disabled people using the products made for them - theresponseblog liked this
