I have a group of men who I meet with regularly, so that we can all talk about our feelings

Not enough of this in the world. Thanks for normalizing it!

My guess (based on what I'd do)? Probably realized it was a bigger trip than expected.

Either that, or something pressing at home.

Actually, the strength is variable, according to this guy on Reddit

And here I was thinking that it was Barack Obama playing that clip of "The Lion King" that pushed him over the line.

I'm not low vision per se, but I have Keratoconus (abnormal cornea shape) and also troubles listening to dialogue (possible ADHD or autism, seeking a formal diagnosis in about a week's time), so I play every game with subtitles on and often have to squint to see some things, especially in low contrast conditions.

My only suggestion is to look at all the amazing accessibility features The Last of Us Part 2 has to offer. I struggled with the Rat King fight due to poor lighting conditions until I turned on a high contrast mode, then I was able to complete it and move on.

The video shows off a few great options including:

• A "sonar" mode where you press buttons to get an audio and visual cue of things around you such as weapons or enemies
• A TON of subtitle options (increasing text size, changing colour, putting a background behind the text etc.). There's also an option that shows who is speaking, and points an arrow to where they are, so if they're shouting at you, you know who is shouting and where they are
• Arrows showing where to go next
• High contrast modes in various colours (e.g. scenery in dark grey, enemies in yellow, player in green, or scenery in dark grey, enemies in blue, player in red)
• Zoom and pan options (e.g. zoom in on the HUD, or zoom the view in so you can see further away objects)
• Audio prompts when you can do stuff (e.g. if you can press Triangle to strangle a zombie, it'll play a chime when the option is available)
• Lots of controller options
  • Options to play with one hand
  • Options to remap all of the buttons and invert sticks and such
  • Options to play with the remote at a 90, 180, or 270 degree angle

Believe me when I say that I was blown away by how accommodating the game was, especially for a stealth horror game where you have to make some quick moves.
