Mod post
This post is for people who want to play more general roleplays, I'm leaving this unstructured, to play please comment with who you play (even if you think it should be obvious from your icon/username) and what sort of interaction you're looking for.
If someone wants more structure/to take over handling general roleplays please ask and I'll be happy to add at least one mod for this.

I found this from the RNIB, there's one there that says it was specifically designed for blind people, and it has info on the accessibility settings on other ones. But yeah I imagine having to rely on voice commands would be annoying. There are features on the iPhone like you can set it to read the text on the screen if you swipe down with two fingers, and it comes with VoiceOver, which is the screen reader software in the Mac, but a different version. The only issue is you'd have to get a sighted person to actually turn on the accessibility settings in the first place. Though and subsequent upgrades would just copy your settings across from the previous phone along with your contacts etc.
Apparently some Android phones (which I'm sure someone said Matt has) support refreshable Braille displays, which is cool, but he doesn't do that in the show that I've noticed, and apparently Android aren't the best.
Of course, that's now. Back in 2007 things were much less advanced.
With Matt's temper, I bet he's broken a few phones in the past by introducing them to the wall!

I'm like, it's already out? ... Nope. I blame you. :p Guess we don't get it until tomorrow...

Oh, I imported my LJ to dreamwidth. While I was at it, I added you. We'll see if I actually update them, but I figured, why not? :)

I'm going to try to write another bit of the story now, because I'm out tomorrow and at some work course on Monday. If I don't manage it now, I'll try and get it done in between all the stuff.

Date: 2016-05-06 03:33 pm (UTC)Maybe I'm wrong, this is pure guesswork.
Weird about release dates. When I was a kid we'd often not get new movies for months after the US release. Now they tend to be around the same time, maybe a day or two earlier or later sometimes, but a whole week earlier seems strange. It explains the lack of spoilers though. I didn't see it till the Tuesday after it came out on the Friday. I was sure I'd be dodging spoilers the whole time, I've only come across a few. It came out even earlier in some other parts of Europe. I don't get why they don't release things at the same time everywhere.

Date: 2016-05-06 06:15 pm (UTC)Yeah, I don't get why they can't do simultaneous releases. My SO figures there's some movie the US distributer didn't want to compete with on opening night or something. (I haven't had time, anyway, so it's no loss to me. lol.) Maybe I'll have time this weekend. Depends on how my final group project is looking.
Re: Where Matt has a real identical twin named Mike who is sighted and is Daredevil
Date: 2016-05-06 06:36 pm (UTC)Could be that, but I don't think there are any other movies out that would be competition for Captain America. A google search suggests they release it elsewhere first to build up hype in the US, and that announcing how much it had made elsewhere does that. This makes no sense to me, but I know very little about marketing! Also something about assessing the reaction so they can make changes if necessary? But this can't be that, no way they could do it that fast.
Maybe they were just waiting for you to be less busy :-)
