There's now a VR game review podcast for visually impaired / legally blind people. (self.Blind)

Cross post from /r/vive.
Hi guys. I am a legally blind VR enthusiast, and I do a lot of VR gaming - even compared to my sighted friends. I sometimes run into unique problems that only someone with a visual impairment would encounter, and I sometimes run into aspects of VR game design that work really well for someone with a visual impairment.
Anyway, I got to thinking that since I am essentially taking a gamble with every VR purchase, that I am privy to information that could be useful to others (granted, likely a very small group of others).
Pair that with my love of discussing VR and having no one around me willing to listen, and you get VIVR - Visually Impaired Virtual Reality, a weekly review podcast for low vision enthusiasts of VR (specifically the Vive).
There are no ads and I benefit in no way financially for doing this, it's just something I am passionate about - so if this interests you at all or if you know someone who might find it interesting, please pass the info along.
It is on iTunes, Google and YouTube and the following link is a page with links to all 3:

Thanks, and if you have questions you can ask here or message me.

Hey, I'm in this (admittedly small) group of people. Will subscribe, looking forward to listening! And hope you review Super Hot.

Hi! Man, I actually played that at oculus connect a year or so ago right when they were prepping for release - I haven't played it on Vive yet but when I do there'll definitely be a review!
And thanks for your interest!

The slow time is a big help for us VI...I actually had my partner tell me where to point to hit a really far off target, which obviously woudln't fly in a real-time shooter.

That is awesome - yeah, stuff like that is what initially turned me off to PSVR, actually (I own that, too). It was fast paced and probably a lot of fun, but with no time slow or ability to approach targets - short of having someone tell me where to shoot, I was stuck.

Saved! My SO is legally blind, but wants to play games. This will give her some insight into games instead of us just shooting into the dark. Thanks!

That is exactly the type of audience I was hoping for , since I was essentially shooting in the dark with my Vive purchase as a whole! Thanks for your interest, and I hope you guys enjoy it!
