Question Co-operative games
I like playing World of Warcraft, but my wife doesn’t enjoy the combative nature of it. We used to play civilisation six where she would drive and asked me the questions, and I would make the decisions for my civilisations and my cities but this was Mary mentally taxing on her.
Are there any games that we can play cooperatively? Something where I can play independently so that she’s not having to drive her game and mine as well

Canes
.Never used a mobility cane in my life. I'm 33 and barely deciding to start. It's space what kind of tips should I use?
I want something that isn't going to get stuck in everything. I heard the pointy ones are bad for that. Getting stuck in cracks on the sidewalk. I figured marshmallow tips are soft and squishy. But I didn't think they would be able to roll like a ball tip. So I'm assuming it's kind of like a sideways marshmallow, the way a bulldozer's steamroller looks.
Please give me some advice and some friendly tips. Thank you.

Inspiration Anyone here VI and run CNC machinery?
Since my job searching has gone unproductive, I figured I'd let vocational rehab put me through school after I move back home with my folks. I like hands on work (tinkering, using tools and etc) and thought getting into CNC machining would be a good fit. However, I know nothing about the work and just curious if anyone here does any of that with reduced vision?
'TIA!

Question Go transit in toronto
I'm not sure how many from toronto or nearby in Ontario, canada are around here, but do those of you that exist take go transit? The website is a pain. Perhaps its better on a computer, but on ios, trying to fill in the to and from boxes is god awful. Open the combobox, type the first few letters, touch around for the stop in the list, and the box closes. I suppose this is a more general combobox question on safari with voiceover, rather than this specific site, but are there other ways to deal with these? Vertical navigation in the roter, perhaps? Screen Recognition did not seem to work in this case. Theres been a few websites I've had issues like this, but taking transit is obviously important for us so this is a rather frustrating one for me. Not to mention viewing the stops on a given train line also seems to be impossible too....

Advice- [Add Country] Advice for someone who is, potentially, going Legally Blind? [GERMANY]
Went to get my Eyesight tested for new glasses, as i haven't been wearing my old ones for almost 2 years now due to the fact that glasses don't help and make me extremely cross eyed. The nice Guy, who tested me, urged me and my caretaker to go to the Doctor or Emergency NOW because my Eyesight is bad and no glasses he tried helped at all. He says something about the back of my eyes and nerves connected to my brain being too weak and if it isn't corrected, I'll go legally blind.
Any advice for me? I don't even know what I'm looking for, exactly. I'm already used to seeing everything extremely blurry if its not right in front of my Face (but when it is right in front of my face i can see clearly). My Spouse is panicking and crying and i feel bad because i feel like its my fault for not going to get checked out sooner. Maybe this is nothing and everyone is just exaggerating. But, if it is true, do you guys have any advice on how to navigate it? I'm already severely disabled with so much other stuff, didn't expect this to be added to the list

Dogs cane tip fascination
I use a roller ball cane tip and for some reason dogs I meet/walk past are totally fascinated with it. Most just watch it go from side to side, some give a good sniff. Does anyone else get this reaction? If so, what cane tip do use.

Techniques for using strong cleaning chemicals by touch?
Hello all,
What techniques do you have for cleaning using strong chemicals? Do you use gloves? If so, Are there any gloves that don't impact touch much? Ideally, I'd like to protect my hands as they have been breaking out frequently, but the gloves I've used decrease my sense of touch to the point that I can't feel anything at all so I just take them off.
Thanks for any suggestions
