Episode notes

Hi, my name is Toby; and I was born with a condition known as bilateral anophthalmia; which means that I was born without eyes. A game that has always been influential to me is final fantasy x, which I first played with my Cousin, but I eventually learned to play it independently. It is because of this game, that I was featured in a documentary in the year 2017; called gaming through new eyes, which was created by Youtuber Dansg08. Upon completion, the documentary then went on to win a number of awards at film festivals, including best film; and I also got an inspiration award.

I love gaming music as I create music and play the piano myself. I love all things technology, to the extent that my Partner often refers to me as a machine! As such, I have bata tested several accessible games and products for the visually impaired. These include Delight games, interactive fiction games, the Braille note touch plus; and most notably, the Braille note evolve. Follow me of gaming updates on my Youtube channel as a blind gamer; and generally all things tech.
