Red. My eye colour already changes randomly, although less often and more subtly than it did when I was younger.

I’d love to be able to control it and confuse people.

(As a note, I do have APD)

For me it’s too much sound input makes everything resemble the Peanuts adults talking.

One person talking is ok, two people talking is harder, three is pure white noise.

Drop music or environmental sounds on top of it and I can’t understand a damned thing.

I’d prefer text over audio, so long as I can skip the text when I am done reading. (Grr argh to the games that have both, but won’t let me skip because the NPC isn’t done speaking.)

Being able to choose either as the primary information delivery would be fantastic.

I’m a muted game player as well. Music is the first thing I turn down to negligible, followed environmental sounds. If I can’t control those, buhbye all sounds.

In the murder hobo games, I don’t really need to listen to that anyways.

Launching a new game shouldn’t shake the house. I shudder to think how loud it would be if my system volume was above 30%. I made the mistake of having a headset on when launching a new game, and the headset learned to fly.

A couple games are still loud even after setting game volume to less than 10%… They get the full mute treatment, I no longer care of they have the most amazing soundtrack, I value my ability to hear.

In a similar vein, games that have sounds for everything. I have to play with sounds off in games I enjoy, and some sounds are used to foreshadow dangers that I end up unaware of because I can’t deal with the sound of crickets or bees or a random humming that are always present. (Shout out to Satisfactory for the incredibly granular sound control, overwhelming at first, but once it was set up it is great.)

Remapping keys. I have function (and not always voluntary) but no feeling in part of my left hand, and an essential tremor that appears randomly. I need to disable some keys because I will find my character suddenly crouching/running/attacking or whatever at really inconvenient times, and with some games the controls are so touchy that I can’t aim or move in a straight line.

Not colorblind, but some games have some very headache inducing colour choices, I have sympathy for those who can’t see colour A font on Colour B background.

LOL. So true.

Instagram pulls this shit too. Clicking to block an account counts as engagement, so they throw more of that type of crap at you.

No Man’s Sky and Satisfactory keep me coming back. Cozy and itch scratching without being harassed for the latest microtransaction.

That said, if a game does have microtransactions without jamming them at my eyeholes, and I’m not missing anything without them, also acceptable.
