How's it going, everyone? My name is Ryan, and as my username indicates, I am a legally blind gamer. How do I play video games, you ask? It's simple. I just sit close to the screen. For pinball machines, I'm a much more methodical player. I frequently catch the ball with one of the flippers so that it rests between the edge of the flipper and the inlane. This allows me to try and figure out where I want the ball to go before making another shot. Also, I can't nudge the table with enough force to affect where the ball goes, so down-the-center drains are much more common for me. Well, what can you do?
