Wait how do you go about applying makeup?

I'm not sure about applying makeup to myself. I'm a guy.

Fully blind here. I love cooking and baking, programming, audiobooks, accessible gaming, going to movies, concerts, and audio described shows, Netflix binging, attending hockey games, pub trivia, making board games accessible and hosting game nights.

I love cooking

I've heard cooking described as the only activity where one benefits from using all of their senses. It's really cool how much sound and smell and touch come into play.

singing or just listening to music in general

Boardgames, mostly. There are a lot I can't see to play, but with good lighting, a good magnifier, and a helpful/supportive game group, there are also a lot that I can play.
I also dabble in game design, listen to a lot of audio books, and do a weekly podcast.
Lately I've been dabbling in small watercolor paintings. I have an art degree. I used to be a professional artist. I can't draw/paint like I used to, but I've found that small watercolor paintings allow me to be creative/expressive without the physical burden of needing to try and see something super detailed for long periods of time, and without the mental burden of needing it to be perfect.

Plus one for board gaming and podcasting. What are your favorite games and what is your podcast about?
codeplaysleep 2 points 4y ago
Loosely, it's a podcast about emerging technologies and their impact/potential impact on society.
Games.. it's so hard to pick. Lately I've really been enjoying Dragonfire, Alien Frontiers, and Gloomhaven (we 3D printed a bunch of upgrades for Gloomhaven that has the added benefit of making it easier to see).
We've been doing a lot of Exit! games with friends lately and as far as the escape room/puzzle type games go, they've by far been my favorite, because there's enough parts and puzzles to pass around that I can look at things up close/with a magnifier and not feel like I'm disrupting gameplay for everyone else. They can just work on other bits.

Do you mind sharing your podcast? As for the exit games, have you ever heard of Escape This Podcast? They create text based escape rooms where you need one puzzle master to guide the players in the room and explain what you can interact with. Plays like a tabletop role playing game.

What do you enjoy?
Carnegie89 [OP] 1 points 4y ago
Doing public speaking with Toastmasters. Plan to use that for standup comedy and motivational speaking. Have a few collections, eg. coins, hats, ties. Started getting into making YouTube videos. I volunteer as a board of director for 2 charities and member of about 6 committees and working groups in my city. I'm also a full-time university student.
