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.
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.
No surgery could fix that?
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
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.
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.
*tactical advantage
I hurt my wrist playing that damn game
What game is this?
It’s hard to say, but it looks like Counter Strike
CS:GO
Definitely looks like CSGO. Probably csgo 1
csgo 1
🤨
There’s a csgo 2 now that’s why
No, that’s Counter-Strike 2, aka CS2.
Fuck. You might be right I was just playing the other day and I think the latest update introduced fps and tick rate or something at the top right corner though so I was going based off on that.
i went through a few mice
Took me a couple glances to notice the second keyboard. Is that comfortable?
I thought that phone charging was a harmonica, and I was so confused why that was charging.
Fucking keyboard turners.
