Hi guys,

 

Alot of you know I have been here supporting Home like most of you for a long long time. Why? My reasoning is simple. I can walk in Home. See, I have trouble playing games that use the shoulder R1, R2, buttons. Let me take a 'Step' back and explain. I don't talk about this with any of my online friends but I think I have established myself here and my real friends will understand.

 

I am a C-5, C-6 Quadriplegic. My fingers do not move. I had a diving accident when I was younger that left me paralyzed. Now those that have played online games know I can still hold my own as long as I have an acceptable button configuration. But if any of you know or have had any type of physical disablity then you know how hard it can be. Most games I play have button mapping in the controller options. Home has simple controls and although I'm sure it was not intended specifically for those with limitations it makes me happy just the same. Our avatars are not exactly as we are, as you all know. Some of you have made your avatars as you really want to be.

 

My avatar in Home is how I imagine I would look if I could walk.. To the people in the forums and my online friends, The N1's (The Nameless Ones) I'm still Jersquall. no different than anyone else in Home. Please don't think differently of me. So what's the coolest thing for me about Home?  I can walk in Home.

p.s. wow, that was tough..

Easy to hold a controller, not so easy pushing buttons if your finger don't move. Try wrapping your hands in an Ace bandgage and go play killzone. just an example.

 Obviousy some of youj know someone who has a disability. been in an accident. or whatever. I'm just showing appreciation for Home.

Thank you so much for sharing this information with us. Although it is not really that important that we know it, it's nice to see members like yourself sharing this with us. I have aklways wondered how a person might feel about this game if they were unable to walk themselves. In fact I have even requested an option of wheelchairs in Home. I'd really like for you to meet another friend of mine on these boards.

wow... really..?

 

I'm sorry, you're just a terrible human for that. You really are, I just hope its the anonymity that's making you an **bleep**. 

 

I think its awesome that you enjoy HOME Thread starter... I cant imagine how you live, but i'm happy that technology gives us unforseen benefits such as this.

Noo, Your seriously mistaken. If I wanted pity I could of done this along time ago. It's not even like me to post personal things. Took me alot to post that. I just wanted to some how let others know that Home has alot to offer those with limitations.
