"TLOU Accessibility"

Fuck me, I hope this blind faggot goes deaf.
I really hope Brandon (and by extension his dumpling of a significant other) have plans for the future because consultancy work regardless of industry is sustainable only if one remains on the bleeding edge of innovation. For every developer he works with on a game there are several dozen paying very close attention to what the leaders do and then finding ways to work new techniques and ideas into their own titles, making the need for a consultant redundant. He’s not going to be able to pitch himself to any AAA developer with “I worked on The Last of Us Part II” if all his ideas are over five years old, and that’s presuming the trend of pursuing accessibility in gaming persists, rather than most developers deciding that wheelchairs get enough breaks with handicap parking spaces and assistance animals and federally-subsidized monthly income, and electing not to put their budgets toward making sure quadruple amputees can play their games.

I am not exactly sure what he consults as a blind person. dude walks with a blind stick, what exactly does he offer for a regular game?
anyway, I searched a bit around for this brandon guy and there's a picture of him with a cane

and the cane looks like that fake fork from a very funny /ck/ post

I am sure he enjoys the snorts, the phlegm noises, the lip-smacking. It's Super Blind Retard ASMR party time in the AM and the PM.
I mean, he picked to most descriptive gaymer to follow with the most soothing voice.
 
I know it's giving Dave way too much credit about long-term thinking and higher-level reasoning but do you think there's also an element here where he's possibly trying to create a new "State of Decay 2" where he's trying to position himself as one of the first and only people who ever saw the truth about a game outside of the idiot morahn journo or blue haired muppet streamers' opinions?
The whole situation was more about people getting early copies of games than the opinions spouted by them. He's always been focused on reviewers and streamers getting games early and only mentions the opinions to accuse them of being shills.

I highly doubt he wants to recreate that whole dumpster fire of a situation though. He was reminded directly of just how little people actually cared about him, that all he did was make an ass out of himself and he hated every second of it. He shat out his opinions and just expected everyone to agree with him, instead he managed to piss off several reviewers and streamers. As far as he's concerned, he lost with that.

I think this time around it's more like his BK or Oscars tweets. He's trying to ratio someone and go "viral" yet again. Only he's trying it now with Vidya and failing, hoping that he can power through with the advantage of no one being able to call him out.
 
I am not exactly sure what he consults as a blind person.
I don’t either, considering screen readers, subtitle size and visibility sliders, and image alt text have been around for fucking years, but I’m a retard and wouldn’t claim to know more about it than he does.

I still don’t understand how “I’m blind so you should make your game this way so I can play it” equates to being an accessibility expert writ large, but considering he’s also a pissy bitch and isn’t going to show up here to explain it to me I’m just going to continue believing he watches Phil because he’s a fellow grifter who got lucky.
 
Isnt the lore on SuperBlindMan's ''consultancey'' is his OxHeadedWife kicked up a fuss about accessability on twitter so Brandon was inviting to the office for a pat on the back and a free copy?

Or am I mistaking that for the time his OxHeadedWife kicked up a fuss on twitter about SBM not having a twitch partnership because he didnt meet the minimum criteria of views and subs?
 
IMO SuperBlindMan is just considered valuable for accessibility consultancy because he's a blind gamer who plays games a lot. That's basically it. Think about it, how many blind people are there who play a lot of video games and are willing to sell themselves to companies on that angle?

On one of his public profiles he says himself that he got into gaming more as a byproduct of "playing any game once" just to see if he could while blind. Do that enough and even a massive retard will have a back pocket full of suggestions.
 
I have nothing against SBM personally, I kinda feel bad. Accessibility is the new diversity pandering for NA devs/publishers and Naughty Dog just used him for a poster boy for pandering. GoW:R was a new tier in accessibility pandering, but I'll save time by skipping my thoughts on that.

Companies who do this nu-pandering have inflated SMB's ego like a 4th place win at evo and now he and his wife run around and use his handicap to get what they want. It's not he didn't qualify for twitch partnership and got turned down like so many other people, it's cause twitch, the faceless company singled him out and denied him cause he's blind.

anywho, I'm going to take a stab here and see how predictible piggy is.

- Ignores Forespoken leaked release and demo dates, I mean it's a female and she's black after all, OR at the very least "Forespoken, no one has talked about that game in like a billion years, yeah no one on social media has said anything. heh did you know it was even still a game? *chat says yes or doesn't respond* see I know no one remembers so great I guess"

- Street Fighter 6 release date leak, sony is stupid for doing this now they're stupid mahrans who are idiots cause they're stupid. why would you screw up so badly, bankrupt burnell will tell Sony how they should run their business but also calls it fake cause he can't see the listing that only appeared on the PS4 version of the PS store and has probably been taken down by now, oh his ps5 or phone. jumps on the FGC-tard wagon and complains capcom is taking too long which then becomes a SFV hate power pound where ,while just complaining capcom is taking too long with SF6, he'll complain how SFV was rushed out.

- Barely if even a mention of MS leaking Diablo 4's release date but will slob the MS nob about them bringing CoD to mulitple platforms, but skipping the gaben reaction that was pretty much "k thnx, i guess"

- Oh and MR Fighting game, who tells it like it is won't care or mention that there's a Tekken 8 announcement coming tonight.

Why should he? When it comes out he'll ragequit it the same week he starts playing online because King's Ali kick spam hasn't worked since mall arcade machines in 1998. Then he'll rant about how Tekken was never about combos.

Pretty sure he gets free government money for not having eyes. He's never going to be rich, but he's taken care of for life.

Here is an example of what he does as a consultant
edit: Imagine going to a professional business meeting with Ubisoft looking like that.

This being the case Phil should absolutely become an accessibility consultant for people with sub-average intelligence. He has years of firsthand experience.
