TonytheBlind1

The name is accurate, I'm legally blind and still love playing games even though I'm limited in how well I perform. I'm also an avid film watcher and fantasy baseball addict.

My name is Tony, and yes I'm legally blind. I'm 44 and have been playing games for a majority of those years, although I have always been more interested in having fun than being a competitive player. I have recently moved from Chicago, IL to Brisbane Queensland, Australia to be with my partner Abductme, who you will see either playing games with me, or in chat. We met when I was still a new streamer back in 2018 while playing a now dead game SOS and our relationship blossomed from there. Anyway, hope you enjoy watching me attempting to play games and having fun doing it.

If you are blind how are you playing games? Well, I am LEGALLY blind, which means I cannot correct my vision to better than 20/200. I actually have a retinal disease called "Stargardt Disease" It's an inherited form of Macular Degeneration that is incurable. Basically I can't read without a magnifying glass unless the print is blown up very large or see faces from about 5 feet and beyond. The center of my vision is a blind spot, so i have to focus the center of my vision above what I need to look at to use my lower peripheral to see clearly but not well. I'm sitting about 2 feet away from my 50" plasma if that's any indication. Here is a clothing company that was created by 2 brothers that also have Stargardt disease, and 100% of the profits go towards research and finding a cure. Go check them out if you are interested in helping. There is also a yellow box with an eye in the lower left hand corner of the site that will help to show you how vision is impaired by Stargardts if you want to see for yourself.

I would never expect a donation, but anything is beyond appreciated.

This should be pretty obvious if you are familiar with watching people on Twitch. 1. Be respectful to the entire chat room, as well as myself. I am self deprecating and I don't mind a rib here and there. Don't step over the boundary though and it will be cool. 2. No racism, sexism, homophobic remarks etc., no discussion on politics or religion, even in an intelligent setting arguments can begin. 3. No backseat gaming unless I ask for help, and believe me I will. I'm blind remember!!. Hopefully that should cover it, I'll add more if necessary.

I am now a Humble Partner, I have been a Humble subscriber for over a year now and I love it. All of the games I give away each weekend are from Humble. You can get up to 9 games per month for one price depending on which package you choose, and it has always been worth it for me. Anybody that chooses to get a Humble choice subscription through my link will be supporting myself as well as a charity that means something to me personally. For those of you that don't know, I am legally blind and the disease is called Stargardt's disease. It's a hereditary degenerative retinal disease that currently has no cure, but there are people looking for solutions. My charity of choice is Foundation Fighting Blindness, and they are fighting to cure Stargardt's as well as other eye diseases. Thank you for even considering it by clicking the link

I play many games and I want to play many more games it's just about getting time to play them. Hunt Showdown, Red Dead Redemption 2, the list would go on forever if I continue to name games I want to play.

I LOVE movies!!!!!! If you want to talk film, or TV. Although I don't watch as much TV as I used to. Please chat with me about film. I will always have time for that. I might even set some chat time aside to just talk about film once in a while. !movie will show the film I have showcased as a recommendation. I used to write reviews on a social review site called Letterboxd.com. Feel free to take a look if your interested and tell me I'm an idiot for some opinions, I don't mind. The star will link to the site. I haven't been keeping up with the film diary as much as I should but I'm trying

I won't lie, I won't ever be able to stay to a schedule, and since I moved to Australia, the internet is kinda shit, so streaming is not always an option. If I'm on, and you caught me then congrats. Maybe one day I'll be able to keep one.
