Yep, I'm with ya, both on being a carnivore and having trouble with
accessible games. My hearing fluctuates terribly, and I find games I used
to love, like Pong, very hard on bad days. Mostly I take to writing
nowadays, and sometimes I play NetHack on the Pac mate. I remember being a
kid and throwing pity parties because of my blindness. I just wish I could
have had an inkling of what I've been going through for the last five years,
for then I would have appreciated music and sound to the extreme. Ah well,
live and learn I suppose. I still can walk, talk, write, eat and drink.
Blessings indeed. Also, my hearing gets better sometimes, and I'm thankful
for that too.
Anyway, I've been trying to come up with an accessible game that's all in
mono, so hearing problems won't matter--but I just can't find an interesting
way to do it, lest I end up designing another game like APH did. (Now that
I think about games and hearing loss, those games don't seem quite as stupid
to me.)

Heh, it's like a confirmed carnivore like me can't understand why would
anyone willingly become vegetarian- everytime I run into one I think,
'god, what's wrong with you?!' but of course, I don't say anything because
I know I should know better than feeling the way I do.
When people do not like what you do, it's not a crime- nor is it 'wrong.'
They're just different.
For example, having no hearing in one ear, I find alot of our supposedly
accessible games frustrating in the extreme to play- but for the most
part, I still play them, but I don't expect to be good at them, nor to
like them very much.
