I’ve never once known how to use photoshop or do edits or contribute to art in any capacity.
But I do have a fundamental understanding of the Chrome DevTools and HTML, which means I can take any post on my dash and make tumblr render whatever I want
Which is, in my opinion, a lot more fun. Because I can tell tumblr to put this on my dash.
And it does
Job Interviewer: Why do you think you’d be a good fit for this position?
me: I have experience with the fundamentals of full-stack development, with a strong C background in university and some professional experience in Javascript, React, HTML, and CSS, plus the necessary skillset to debug using the Chrome Devtools
Job Interviewer: Can you give some examples of your work?
Quick Depression Pro Tip™: not terribly hygienic but still. keep a thing of dental floss on your bedside table
(and a dry toothbrush if you’re feeling ambitious. and toothpaste if you want to challenge the gods)
Quick Depression Pro Tip 2™: put on socks. your home probably isn’t super duper clean. socks will at least help you feel clean.
A Continuation: this also goes for changing into fresh pajamas! especially useful when your sheets aren’t clean/there are crumbs in the bed.
Quick Depression Pro Tip 3™: wipe your face w/ a wet washcloth. or towel. wipes. whatever. just something to make your skin feel a little cleaner.
if you don’t brush your teeth often, scrape your tongue on the cloth when you’re done, to get rid of buildup.
Quick Depression Pro Tip 4™: Granola bars. Granola bars. Everywhere.
Granola bars spilling from your backpack. Granola bars bursting from your drawers. Granola bars dripping from your faucets. Granola bars haunting your nightmares. There is nothing but granola.
It’s so odd when a stranger understands exactly what you do and what you’re feeling. It makes me feel less disgusting and alone. Thank you.
we’ve all been depressed and grody at one point or another. forget love, hate, lust, anger, this is the one true unifying human experience
I started to play the new Spider-man game on PS4 and it’s quickly becoming a special interest of mine. I was so pleasantly surprised to see an “accessibility” menu in this game.
A menu that allows you to have bigger subtitles, to put them on a black background so that they’re more readable, to disable QTE if you can’t mash buttons (because if you keep it activated, yeah, you mash buttons pretty hard), a background for the HUD to make it more readable and the possibility to skip puzzles…
I might forgot some stuff, but the point is that they created this game while keeping in mind that disabled people might play it and might need some features to be turned off or displayed differently. And it’s great.
I turned on the subtitles, put them in a bigger size and on a black background and it does wonders for me. I can read them easily, even when I’m playing, and I don’t have to focus so much on what everyone’s saying. It allows me to fully enjoy the game.
It should be normal, honestly. But when we still have video games with no subtitles at all, I think we still have to compliment video games teams that actually make the effort to be inclusive and to simplify their mechanics for disabled people or people with various difficulties.
