Maybe this is a good reason to play around with Kenney's MakeRoom game thing?

I usually use furniture product catalogues as inspiration, see how they've designed & decorated their show rooms. I haven't looked in a while, though, so I don't know if they shoved AI into those too already :/

Yee, I picked up on thag, I was more just diving off the point to discuss bad signage and other options I've seen in other systems :)

Either way I think the U should have kept it's northbound/southbound signage and I'm still confused every time I try to orient myself with it.

That said, maybe at least saying the popular stops along the track would work? Like "toward Union, Dundas, Eglinton, Finch" is helpful for newcomers to the city who are likely orienting themselves around popular stops, either as their destination, or as a stop before/after their destination.

Thinking about the Ontario line, will it say Eastbound until it hits the corner then say Northbound? Will it say North East-bound? I like compass-based directions, but they might struggle with more complex routes.

I don't even think it's neurotypical or ablist; I think it's just really shitty design. Who the hell looks at a subway map and goes "I need to head in the direction of XYZ station, a station that's 12 stops past my destination?" That said, north/south only works in straight line routes.

Do you close your other eye when aiming? I figure it doesn't matter either way if you just forcibly use one eye over the other.

That's so cool! How does eye dominance shift between pistol and rifle/bow? I've never done marksmanship, only archery, but I assumed the concept of aligning a sight was the same across the disciplines?

Super-interesting! I wonder if it's a confirmation bias at work, a perpetuated myth, or just coincidence? I heard from multiple archery folks the rule of thumb that your dominant eye is opposite your dominant hand, so it's neat to see the anecdote perception vs hard data.

You find out which foot is your dominant leg/foot by standing neutral then falling forward and seeing which leg you use to stop yourself. Works a bit better if someone pushes you suddenly without warning from the back. We use this for snowboarding to see if you're regular or goofy. The body is wild.

I was informed the opposite by my archery teacher back in the day: usually, your dominant eye is opposite your dominant hand.
