10 months agoASL (or whichever sign language) is NOT a direct visual translation of English or French or Mandarin or whatever. It’s a totally different language and the written language is a second language. People might be highly proficient at reading and writing English in an English speaking country but it’s a different language.
I just have it hooked up to the dock and play it on my TV mostly like a portable itty bitty PC. I have an Xbox controller and a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse so I can play basically anything but fallout 4 since they thought it would be hilarious to remove menu prompts from that game when you use the deck on a TV. No idea why but yeah I can do most stuff with it so I do.
