In the wake of @superblindman's passing, I wanted to share the experiences of @UnsytedRadio, one person out of many that Brandon's work helped over the years. Brandon's work will live on in those he helped, and those who will undoubtedly attempt to carry on his work.

As Justice Sotomayor explains, today's Supreme Court decision on Trump immunity transforms America from a land of "no more Kings" to one of "no, more Kings."

"With fear for our democracy, I dissent," is about as bedrock and terrifying and vital a statement as you're going to get. That's a line you spraypaint on walls, that you ink into your skin. And it's chilling that it is necessary to say at all.

Yeah, sorry, wish it weren't the case, but we don't make the rules. Maybe Nintendo will make a game with a male protagonist again some day ;)

The DLC? Nope lol. Someone started but didn't finish NG+ so needs to do that instead.

Come keep me company as I relearn the game.

Fully agreed! OpenDyslexic is great, but it isn't THE answer, it is but a possible answer. Options here are key to accessibility, no font is perfectly accessible.

Will Veilguard have any asexual or aromantic companions? Corinne is Grey Ace. Shares that none of the companions this time are Ace. Would love to have an Ace relationship in the future in the series.

Corinne also implies in the Q&A that when recreating your inquisitor, you can take advantage of the new pronoun and gender options. So your inquisitor can be Non-Binary when they show up in Veilguard. No microtransactions, battle pass, online account login needed.

Confirmed in Discord Q&A by Corrine Busche RE: Dragon Age Veilguard. "You can select Rook's pronouns, but also gender, because those are not necessarilly the same". So, sounds like he/him or she/her pronoun non-binary player character is possible.

Informal poll for an AA episode. If you're dyslexic, could you respond to this post with the font you find easiest to read (or font aspects that are useful for you)? I am looking for specific personal experiences, not generalised advice or outside assumed perspectives.
