Anyway, my new Steam Deck is just my phone with a Kishi dock (I have Hollow Knight running locally on Android via GameHub: gamehub.xiaoji.com).

Remember: accessibility is for everyone, as disabilities may be permanent, temporary, or situational.
For example: today I took my contacts out after eating chips with ghost pepper salsa and having a taco with ghost pepper sauce on it. I was fully blind for about 15 minutes.

Apparently my latest ren-faire flute doubles as a dog whistle. I try to practice and she just jams herself onto my lap.

One of the best ways to learn a song is to keep it hung up in your kitchen with a kitchen pennywhistle nearby.
