I knew a guy in college who had to do this, he had a degenerative eye disease or something that no amount of glasses, hard contacts, or whatever could fix. It seemed like it royally sucked, but he always seemed in good spirits.

Except I vaguely recall he impaled his own leg on a sharp branch while jogging because he couldn't see it. That would suck.

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 34 points 6 months ago

Yeah, it does sound like it wood suck.

Sorry.

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Wood stuck?

[-] Alk@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

No, some doctors got it out.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I'd just leave that one alone.

[-] ccunix@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Had project manager at previous job the same. Worked about 3" from his screen. He was the proof that a good project manager is worth their weight in gold though. Guy was absolutely brilliant.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

No surgery could fix that?

[-] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

I know a guy with what sounds like a similar condition - in his case most of the colour receptive cells in his retinas are fucked, it's a genetic thing that ment they didn't form correctly in the first place. Not really anything you can do surgically, it's not like cataracts or stigmatism where the retina is ok but the light isn't reaching it correctly.

He wears highly tinted sunglasses cos it turns out that those colour cells are also really heavily involved in adjusting your iris to ensure you get the right amount of light, so his eyes adjust to changes in brightness much slower than normal which can be physically painful if he (eg) turns on the lights in a dark room

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

Ah, he got the Lorca eyes but took a pass on the whole “I’m from an alternate universe full of psychopaths” bit, gotcha.

I knew this guy when I was a kid, who could only play SNES and Sega games with the control upside down. This was before mapping and being able to toggle things how you want them, was a thing.

He'd hold the controller upside down and always sat sideways to the tv while looking at the tv from the side. He said it was the only way he could play.

Bro needs new glasses

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 31 points 6 months ago

Those 500x500 pixels must be very important.

And that grip reminds me of Hypertapping on the NES controller.

[-] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 10 points 6 months ago

The half rolling technique developed by the Tetris community has proven to be more effective/easier.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

Awper

This Island Earth?

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

This Island Earth can be yours if the price is right!

By being this close to the screen, he reduces the latency created by the photons traveling between the screen and his eyes, therefore giving him a significant strategic advantage over his opponents.

[-] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

*tactical advantage

[-] dmalteseknight@programming.dev 14 points 6 months ago

This guy looks like an anime character

[-] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

The keyboard just needs to be 6ft long and have nonsensical shit hanging off it like skulls on ship chains.

Also the keyboard keys would not be enlarged. There would be about one thousand regular size keys on it.

[-] fishbone@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

"Hand forged in the deepest basement, this keyboard has ultimate compatibility! Every key from every language, at my fingertips! 38 usb cables with the raw power to transcend operating systems and control multiple computers simultaneously... Oh ho ho, but that's not even the true power of this keyboard. See these skulls? These are all that remains of the former owners... Lost souls, desperate for minimal latency, all lost their minds, and lives, by using the forbidden Synaptic Link. The one I will use to defeat you!"

And then he plugs a cable into his brain or some shit and they play a round of starcraft. Feel like I started in a corner and wrote myself into a different corner.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

This made me chuckle.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Def looks like a toaster on the side of his head

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 8 points 6 months ago

Build a Corne split mechanical already

[-] WatTyler@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago

Would you have any recommendations for a split board that's perhaps a little larger than the Corne? I can't help but feel it'd be too small for me.

[-] curiousPJ@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Took me a couple glances to notice the second keyboard. Is that comfortable?

[-] sadeiko@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Fucking keyboard turners.

[-] masinko@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I thought that phone charging was a harmonica, and I was so confused why that was charging.
