hi there, i am new to the forum but i already recognise a few people off the forum PC Gamer, hi.
im a physicaly disabled, wheelie (wheelchair) using gamer, i also am severley classic autistic ,i live in adult care and communicate threw typing text or makaton or AAC.
PC gaming or gaming in any form has never been smooth for me as both my autism and my ID affect my ability to process visuals and information well, but i will chose a PC game over a console game any day as i love the fact you can adapt so much of the game to suit your wants/needs.
i started off in the late eighties-since the comodore64. and rather funnily the special school i went to let us play doom, canon fodder and other games seen as gory if we had shown a good behavior-keep in mind this was the raging era that led to parents (and jo frost- ever so slightly late,in the next centurey) doing a pitchfork waving karen over the extremely abstract 8 or 16 bit gore in mortal combat or doom.
i curently have a beasty windows 10 based gaming laptop and added bits and pieces like 32GB of dual channel kingston fury sodimm RAM and a western digital P50 external gaming SSD-1TB, a toshiba portege business end laptop with windows wiped and arch linux installed over the top, ive also got a rasberry pi zero w, a steam deck (512GB) and a nintendo switch with lots of estore and hard copy games.
my favurite PC games right now (many of which i cycle threw every day in the same order on the steam deck) are meadow, forza horizon 5, descenders, stray, final fantasy II, nIGHTS into dreams, project cars 2, r-type dimensions EX, skateBIRD, GRIP : combat racing (if any of you remember rollcage on the playstation 1,you will especialy love this-such a great racing game)
i enjoy making music using my studio software, i enjoy building websites, i also am a profesional mixed media artist in the intelectual disability field,my work sells and a chunk of it- some of it gaming based (i think) is currently in a museum exhibition in manchester right now though it finishes on 11th of september.
sorry i waffle a lot because of my epilepsy as it damaged my short term and workingg memory when i was very young.
