Re: [blind-gamers] Games for everyone

Dark, I believe you are restricting yourself unnecessarily, inasmuch as tabletop RP is alive and well online in many styles and genres. there are more games now than their have ever been, and with websites like DriveThroughRPG people are able to find something to far more varried tastes

Hi Kelly, I’ve not messed with this personally, but I believe there is a process you need to follow once you’ve connected your dongle. If you go to the start menu and search for “devices,” or “bluetooth,” you will be able to add a device. From there, there’s a selection for “Everything else,”

Re: [blind-gamers] king of dragon pass download fails

Jude, Are you trying to download and play this on Android? I don’t believe the accessibility work was ever done for Android by the third-party company which ported the game. It’s accessible on iOS, however. Best, Zack. > On Jan 1, 2021, at 4:20 PM, Jude DaShiell wrote: > > Integrity errors

Re: [blind-gamers] king of dragon pass accessible?

Jude, As I said in another reply, the game is only accessible on iOS. The third-party developer who ported the game to Android did not implement accessibility support, but the iOS version is still as fun as it ever was. > On Jan 1, 2021, at 5:00 PM, Jude DaShiell wrote: > > Is this

Re: [blind-gamers] Turn based combat

Hi Michael, There is a command-line port of the 1993 game Master of Orion which is available. If you’re not familiar, it’s basically civilization in space, more or less. The one downside is that the text-based combat display is a little annoying, the game doesn’t provide quite as much info

Hey All, I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but at the moment it is hard to see how this program in its current form will work for many of the games listed. There is a version available for testing, but it essentially only does OCR for game text. It doesn’t have any specialized AI to speak

Hi there, How do you unlock Anna? I was trying to Google but only found people suggesting to disable her, which isn’t what i want obviously. I’m also stuck trying too igure out how to move on from the first horizon festival location. I select a route on the map and sometimes hear what sounds

Re: [blind-gamers] Stardew Valley

I would strongly consider giving it another look. There's a ton of things to do in the game, and the mods are improved with each release. The initial setup with Steam is a little annoying, but only needs to be done once. You can also just skip that and purchase the game through GOG. I have

The biggest problem with NetHack, on Windows at least, is that most Windows screen readers no longer keep track of the cursor position in a way which makes it easy to review the map. It's maddening but I don't really have a solution. For instance, if you had something like this: |$.|

Re: [blind-gamers] nethack (was Am I missing something, guys?)

I've had excellent luck with Speakup, for what that's worth. Other screen readers on Linux do behave similarly to Windows unfortunately. There's also TDSR, which works on both Mac and Linux, and that generally works well. But the fact remains we need an NVDA add-on or something to enable cursor

Re: [blind-gamers] nethack on linux

No, that is absolutely not necessary. If you play on Linux with Speakup, the default "cursor on," mode will work just fine. Your review focus is always centered on your character, and will return to them when you move, or press the numpad-enter key to route the cursor back to them. > On Jan 11,

Yeah. I believe it's comma or g, if you are using the numbpad movement system. I think that defaults to on if you haven't changed any options. > On Jan 19, 2023, at 8:35 AM, Jude DaShiell wrote: > > Get on the same square the item you want is then hit the comma key. > > > > Jude "There

I have no idea what you're talking about here. I was able to leave a 2-star review just fine. I suspect you may have accidentally enabled screen recognition or there is something else going on. > On Nov 30, 2023, at 6:21 PM, Jude DaShiell wrote: > > a maximum of 50 characters in the title
