I was born with a genetic defect in my eyes that makes me see too much instead of too little. Blindness is a heck of a thing to try to game with, but I love to play, and I hope you will have a good time watching.
I am also an author with over 14 books and dozens of short stories published. I have created audio dramatizations of some of my stories on YouTube with professional-level sound design and voice work for your entertainment.
Thank you from the depths of my soul for being here and being awesome. IF you choose to do so, I accept donations gladly. Anything you are willing to give goes directly to feeding my family and helping us survive.
For those who would like to know more, read below the links!

The genetic defect I was born with is Keratoconus. Essentially, my eyes are pyramid-shaped, rather than the normal egg-shape you likely have.
The disorder is progressive, but thankfully it has, as I have gotten older, plateaued somewhat, and though it is a blinding disability, it still allows me to see just enough to play games for you.
There is no cure, and the only option I have is corneal transplants. That option is bad for me.
I use a monitor arm to bring the display within a few inches of my face, which can make things... interesting.
For a point of reference, one is considered blind if their vision in their good eye is worse than 20/200. In my good eye, I am sitting at about 20/3600.
