My dear friends: When a librarian or teacher says "Audiobooks count as reading", we do not literally mean that audiobooks are the same as decoding visual meaning via symbols representing sounds. We mean, among other things:

Audiobooks can expose listeners to new vocabulary and forms of syntax.

Audiobooks can present listeners with long-form fictional narratives with engaging characters, interesting literary devices, and poetic turns of phrase.

Audiobooks can teach listeners new information in a long-form manner that goes into depth or wide breadth on a particular subject or subjects.

Audiobooks can help listeners' verbal comprehension skills.

Audiobooks can do all these things without presenting the same difficulties to blind, low vision, partially sighted, visually impaired, or dyslexic listeners; listeners with ADHD; listeners who experience physical difficulty with holding a book or e-reader; or listeners who are disabled in a host of other ways that a physical book or e-reader might present.

The written word is not specially imbued with magical noble worth above the spoken word, and if you think it is, you may have some ableism and/or racism to deconstruct.

#that last one for real!! #listen to linguists and classicists when they say this as well!!!

many games can be slotted into multiple genres and many gamers play and adore lots of (sub)genres. try to narrow down to your ultimate favourite!

if i listed your favourite game in a certain genre and you think it fits better into another, don't worry about it, it's just a silly little poll! ^_^

i made this poll because i didn't like a different one on the same topic that's cirulating, hopefully this fits more genres that are well liked on tumblr!

#from this list action-adventure #i like metroidvanias and puzzles a lot too #and whatever age of empires and terra nil have going on

i love dread in a story i love hurtling towards something terrible and wanting to stop but the only way to find out what happens is to keep getting closer to it
