Out of Sight, Out of His Mind: The Handicapable Episode (ft. BlindCraziness)

Meet BlindCraziness. He's legally blind, competitively plays Pokemon Go at the regional level, has 20/200 vision, and chose the hardest possible path in gaming on purpose. In this episode, Robbie joins Matthew and Jacob for an unfiltered conversation about what it's actually like to compete with a visual impairment, why One Piece filler hits different than Naruto filler, how a sensory deprivation tank changed his perspective, and why he's spent 46,000+ encounters hunting a single shiny Lotad. We also get into Pokemon Sun & Moon's surprisingly mature storyline, the infamous chess cheating scandal, and the moment Matthew finally understands a joke that went completely over his head for a full 6 minutes later... Part One of what's going to be a recurring presence on the show.OUR DISCORD IS LIVE!!! WE GOT AN ALBUM ON Apple Music & Spotify NOW!!!Follow us on X @TalkTrubbishPodSubscribe to our Youtube @TalkingTrubbishEmail us your stories or [email protected]:00-00:34 Cold open00:34-03:24 Intro: Welcome to Talking Trubbish, meet Blind Craziness (Robbie)03:24-05:00 Origin of the gamertag and owning "blind"05:00-08:10 What 20/200 vision actually means, Stargardt's disease explained08:10-10:05 Playing competitive Pokemon Go with a visual impairment10:05-13:05 Accessibility at Pokemon Go regionals, headphone adapter workarounds13:05-14:44 The chess cheating scandal and Morse code butt plug technology14:44-17:05 Can you picture an apple?
