Yeah... The treatment is supposed to be helpful, not harmful. It is indeed quite distressing to see lack of knowledge and close mindedness from medical proffessionals. On a tangential note: With the dropping of mask mandates in medical settings I am scared to go for my physiotherapy too, I do not want the doctors to give my long covid long covid. "Do no harm" their oath says. Right.
Yeah..being dehumanized... What you are saying seems like a "natural" consequence of a system of beliefs that treats some bodies and minds as worth more than the others. Some persons get treated so badly up to the degree of denying their personhood completely.
"Accessibility is about people." Interesting perspective. In the end it is people, and organizations made of people, who decide to build our world as inaccessible. Having accesibility at the forefront of design would solve a lot of the problems that AI tools try to help with . An ideal world would be where good accesibilty is built into our systems directly, no matter whether we are talking about operating systems or social systems.
I'll comment about myself too. I am neurodivergent in more than one way and have a couple of chronic illnesses, that when separated, would be mostly just a minor annoyance, but when bundled together become a major pain in the ass (both metaphorically and literally).
Fair points. But I enjoyed both Sims 2 and 3 modless much more than modless 4 :D If not for the quality of life improvements in build mode for 4, I would probably play the older games more than Sims 4 ;D
I did not see a community about disability, chronic illness, long-covid, accessibility, health issues, public health, and the fight against ableism. Is there one or did I just miss it? If there is none I think it would be good to have a community that allows talking about those issues specifically.
Cool! It sounds like the system takes some inspiration from Masks? If yes I should try it, cause I recently GMed a campaign in Masks and it really was great.
Ooh i did not remember about the app, and I might have heard about RPG sessions, but never used it, thanks, it might come in handy :D
The solutions for coop GMing sound very useful as well, I can see it would work with Ironsworn too. I am quite new to Gmless games, I have tried some, but those that i tried were pretty "crunchy" about who and at what point decides which plot points.
Your solo games sound very fun!
Genesys and Star wars is very cool. I have the Genesys book on my shelf but never got to run it, maybe some day. I only played the Star wars system with the similar narrative dice on a convention a long time ago. It worked pretty well, I thought it was pretty clear with all the symbols, just had to get used to it. Only downside is having to buy the dice or printing stickers. The dice symbols and colors are very satisfying though.
I very briefly read through Ironsworn, with the intention to play it as a group GMless game, but did not really understand how the group is supposed to make the decisions about what happens next. Maybe it is because, like you said, it originated as a solo game.

How about the general term- Fedizens, that has been around for some time?

I am happy you found a doctor who is willing to listen and be empathetic! I hope things will go well for you.
Unhelpful doctors - such a classic and very relatable unfortunately. I wish us all more empathetic and competent medical proffesionals.

Yeah that sounds really rough. I really wish you a better day tomorrow.
Test mod comment
I submitted the form, but the community that I would want to moderate most does not exist yet - a general disability community.
Yes. I also liked the CongratsLikeImFive sub.

https://lemmy.ml/c/rpg yep it is here.
The Sims 4 is basically almost unplayable to me without custom content and mods and community made bugfixes.

I have seen a pathfinder server on https://join-lemmy.org. Other than that I think there is a community on lemmy.ml dedicated to RPGS.

Wow playing and GMing the same module souds wild :D But i bet it might be interesting to compare how it goes in different groups :D
