I have been MIA from social media recently for many reasons, but primarily because Dixie actually had to have surgery :(. She’s doing well so far, but she had to have four teeth removed. It was honestly pretty hard seeing her distressed after the surgery,

Here's an article I have been wanting to write for a long time. Shout out to @wired for the chance, and to @rossminor.bsky.social for letting me tell some of this story.

Ross Minor lost his eyesight at 8 years old. Today, he’s a hardcore gamer who runs YouTube and Twitch channels and consults for big studios.

@rossminor.bsky.social's ultimate goal? To make it so blind people can play any game.

Wow, this takes the cake for the most unhinged comment I’ve ever received. And no this is not an invitation to one up them lol.
Instagram comment that says: damn bro, that’s actually crazy. I hope you get the absolute best titties in your face on the regular, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

Here's the video of me unboxing the #Switch2! This is the first time I've opened a #Nintendo console on launch day and it was a blast to do it on stream. I'll be uploading a separate video detailing the setup experience for #blind gamers.

I spent time with @rossminor.bsky.social, who was already helping other blind people play videogames back when he was training for the Paralympics. Now he's got a foot in the door and is taking what he learned from mentors to take games to the next level - for everyone www.wired.com/story/ross-m...

The Eye Play Blind channel banner. It features several blind characters from popular franchises. From left to right, the banner features Hawk Eye from Dark Souls, a Clicker from The Last of Us, Kenshi from Mortal Kombat, Daredevil, and Ross in the middle with the Eye Play Blind logo above his head. The Eye Play Blind logo is a white controller surrounded by a blue glow with sound waves emanating from it. The words “Eye Play Blind” are below it.

Booting up my ROG Ally for the first time in months. So many updates! The fans are blasting haha. It will feel good to casually play some games again.

Went orange picking across the street at my new college campus! This is paradise and I think Dixie agrees!
Ross, a man short wavy brown hair, a mustache, and sunglasses, is standing in front of a lush orange tree filled with ripe oranges. He is smiling and making a “hang loose” (shaka) hand gesture with his right hand while holding a cream-colored reusable tote bag. He is wearing a navy blue t-shirt featuring a vintage-style Ba Sing Se design, gray shorts, navy blue sneakers, and a black watch on his left wrist. Sitting in front of Ross is Dixie, a black Labrador Retriever with a shiny coat, floppy ears, and a calm expression. Dixie is looking directly at the camera with a silver chain collar around her neck. The ground is covered with wood chips, dirt, and scattered fallen oranges. The setting is an orange grove, with more trees and a brick wall visible in the background under Ross has sunglasses on his face and is bending down to pet a Dixie, a black lab. He is wearing a navy blue t-shirt, light gray shorts, and navy blue sneakers. He is holding a cream-colored reusable tote bag in his left hand. Dixie stands on all fours with her tail slightly raised, looking up at Ross. Her ears are perked, and she is attentive to Ross. They are standing under a lush orange tree full of ripe oranges, with many fallen oranges scattered on the ground. The setting is an orange grove with wood chips and dirt covering the ground. In the background there are more trees and an open outdoor space with natural light.

Moving to a new place seems so easy, especially when you don’t really have a bunch of things. But doing that when you’re starting up school again, juggling work, dealing with family members, and receiving multiple amazing opportunities, it’s difficult to not let things slip through the cracks 😅.

Guy next to me in my economics class: Do you know the answer on the board?
