    I knew a guy in college who had to do this, he had a degenerative eye disease or something that no amount of glasses, hard contacts, or whatever could fix. It seemed like it royally sucked, but he always seemed in good spirits.

    Except I vaguely recall he impaled his own leg on a sharp branch while jogging because he couldn’t see it. That would suck.

    By being this close to the screen, he reduces the latency created by the photons traveling between the screen and his eyes, therefore giving him a significant strategic advantage over his opponents.

    I knew this guy when I was a kid, who could only play SNES and Sega games with the control upside down. This was before mapping and being able to toggle things how you want them, was a thing.

    He’d hold the controller upside down and always sat sideways to the tv while looking at the tv from the side. He said it was the only way he could play.
