[Audyssey] My thoughts on Papa Sangre II, No Spoilers
Hi, all, I just want to gush about this game. I think it and the other games by Something else are several notches above most other IOS games I’ve played. I actually think Papa sangre II is better than the first one. It is even more immersive and has more plot twists. I know for sure I’ll be revisiting some of my favorite levels. The acting was superb as well. The only down-side was some sluggishness on my iPod Touch 5. I realize the game isn’t optimized for iPod, but I can play it perfectly well. I’m very much looking forward to similar games by these folks, or some contingent of them in any case. Very very nice, superlative job.

Hi Sly, That was my concern as well. Personally I like forums, but as there is already a gaming forum we don't really need a second one. Thus I was interested to know how many members was in favor of keeping the list all be it from a different server/host. Cheers!

Hi Cara, Yeah, I know. I used Google Groups a while back, and their list management interface was pretty poor accessibility wise. I could do it, but nowhere as accessible or straight forward as Mailman is. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Important Message
Hi Nicol, I suppose Freelists.org might be a possibility, but I'm waiting to hear back from the server admins before I make any final decisions as to what to do with the list. The one thing I will say is wherever we take the list has to be able to handle the list traffic. This is a moderately active list with many messages per day and some of those free list services aren't able to keep up with heavy list traffic. So I need to check that out before making a final decision. Cheers! On 11/15/13, Nicol nicoljaco...@telkomsa.net wrote: Hi tom I personally prefer a mailing list. How about freelists.org?

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Important Message
Hi Kelly, definitely agree. I'm against Yahoo Groups on grounds of accessibility. Accessibility was one of the main reasons why Raul and I moved the list away from there, but we also got sick and tired of the spam and other garbage that went with Yahoo. So as far as I'm concerned Yahoo Groups is a definite no go. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Important Message
Hi Dark, Well, your opinion seems to be widely supported by many list members so no matter what we will be keeping this list for a good long time. I'm not exactly certain who will be hosting this list, but I can say for certain we won't be moving to a forum as many list members are flat out against that idea. Plus as you yourself pointed out Audiogames.net already has a forum and there is no need to have two forums of the same kind. We should try to keep this list running if for no other reason to offer people an alternative to the web forums popping up everywhere. Cheers! On 11/15/13, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi Tom. I'm afraid I'd not be in favour of an audeasy forum, simply because there already is! an accessible games forum, and frankly I would have too much business checking two forums, also it'd make it quite difficult for developers and others to communicate on both systems. I'd personally suggest setting up a google groups list, since google groups are fairly reliable, and you'd still get the bennifits of running a mailing list, particularly having an alternative to audiogames.net for those people who don't enjoy forums. I've had experience with google groups myself over the entombed list, and I can say they work reliably so long as moderator in put continues and the list doesn't get abandoned.

Hi Shaun, Lol! Wrong kind of gremlin. Here in America whenever something goes wrong with a piece of equipment, software fails, mechanical failure, etc we jokingly blame the problem on a gremlin which is not the same thing as the gremlins in the gremlins movie. Gremlins according to folk tales are actually suppose to be a race of magical beings, kind of like nasty elves, that go around causing trouble for humans by breaking things or pulling pranks on people. The gremlins in the gremlins movie were ugly little monsters created when Billy fed the little Mugwas after midnight which isn't quite the same thing as gremlins in the folk tale sense. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Important Message
Hi Shaun, That is of course one possibility. Worst case we will delete the Audyssey account and start over from scratch in the hopes that we get a fresh setup because the issue isn't the server or the software itself. We are running on the assumption that when transferring the Audyssey CPanel configuration from Raul's host to mine something got messed up in the move. Now we are trying to find out what went wrong and if we can't we need to just nuke the account and start over fresh. However, doing so is nowhere as bad as you make it sound. I won't have to reinstall any software because it isn't the software that is messed up. The list membership wont have to resubscribe because I can export the list of members to a text file and import it making it a breeze to simply resubscribe everyone at once. Point being deleting the account and recreating the account is no big deal. Slightly time consuming but not anything that will effect most list members other than the fact the list will be down for a few hours. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Important Message
I agree I like both. I have a big time trying to access everything I want in audiogames. These days I only really go down the first 3-4 topics on each topic page and every sub forum. There are to many to view them all. And there are spam posters, and other things to. Sometimes the audiogames forum database overloads like it has been this week and I can not get on from time to time. The forum is ok I guess but if it overloads then there will be issues. And also I barely read everything on those as it is. Saying that it may be an idea to include an announcement list which handles all the releases and such mag issues and other important stuff. I do still like the discussion list as it is in particular because I can post things faster and other such things. At 05:30 PM 11/15/2013, you wrote: Hey, Thomas.

Re: [Audyssey] This message is for Dark
Well I was talking on the subject of copywrite on another list. And I have come to the sad conclusion that the bigger the companies get the smaller their customers get and the less they actually care. The sharks care about anyting that can pose a threat in the case of companies these are others bigger than them or the same sise or slightly smaller. Nz is a small country which doesn't help but disabled anyone, imagine how small we are. We do not have the power to fight fish such as those what companies are made of. And they know we are small so they don't care. Even the big companies loose in the ongoing progress wars. We are little more than ants and thats the only conclusion I can make without swearing on list. Its the only thing I can think of. At 06:46 PM 11/15/2013, you wrote: Hi Steven, Well, I think your message was intended for me not Dark, but in any case I'll address your message anyway. To begin with while I realize you were just stating an opinion I still think you were bordering on inflammatory when you failed to give reasons for your opinion. Calling something like Linux inferior without any explanation as to why you think and feel that way is unproductive in a discussion like this one. It also happens to be untrue as Linux is superior to Windows in a number of areas, and so is a viable option for some users who happen to like the OS for reasons of their own. So while I won't take your opinion personally I do think it may be a misinformed opinion. At any rate, to answer your question I think Apple should make a version of iTunes available for Linux simply to increase compatibility with their devices. If I am going to go out and pay $199 for a new iPhone I think I should be able to use it with any computer and operating system I choose regardless if it is running Windows, Mac, Linux, whatever. Weather Linux is inferior or not has nothing to do with it. I am a customer of theirs and I think I have the right to use their devices with whatever platform I happen to like best, or I simply do not buy their devices. End of story. I guess in a broader sense this is exactly what open source is all about. It is the freedom of choice. A person is not restricted to one choice of operating system. Most open source initiatives like Firefox, Thunderbird, Audacity, LibreOffice, to name a few give the end user a choice what platform and operating system they wish to use. A lot of closed source software usually only target one platform and one operating system restricting a persons choices to whatever the developer chooses. We are in fact facing this issue right now with audio games. As you know many audio games were developed specifically for Windows, but many blind users are migrating to Mac OS X. In order to play games they are having to run Windows in a virtual machine or to run Windows side by side with Mac OS. The best solution is to release a version of the game for both platforms. However, as the developers aren't interested in doing that the end user, the customer, is stuck doing without. Well, my feeling about iTunes is largely the same principle. I use Linux on several different computers because it is cheaper, does what I want it to do, and if an Apple iPhone isn't compatible with Linux then I'll simply have to find a different phone that is. If Apple is concerned about my business, which I am certain they aren't, they will make it possible for me to sink files to and from my Apple device with Linux. Perhaps if Apple's iPhone was the only show in town I might have a different opinion, but they aren't. Android is slowly but surely getting better, and it will do what I want it to do. So when it comes to freedom of choice Android is better. Cheers! On 11/14/13, steven earge...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Dark, For games, buying an iphone is much better than buying an Anddroid. I Iphone, being the superior phone that it is, has more games than the Anddroid. However, I do see the cost issue and some compatibility issues.

Re: [Audyssey] This message is for Dark
Hi Shaun, Unfortunately, that is all too common when it comes to corporate capitalism. It seems the larger and more well known the company in question the people at the top of the corporate ladder are less and less likely to care about their customers and only think about money, money, money. It has always been that way, and it is the very reason the United States government has had to step in and break up monopolies, because once a corporation grew to a certain size they began to abuse their wealth and power by charging high prices for products and services, ignoring accessibility concerns, whatever. However, there is always a counter balance that shift things back in the other direction eventually. To pud it this way, you said the corporations see us as ants. That may be true, but in the wild get enough ants together and they can bring down an elephant. Individually they might be weak, but as a single unit the aunts are stronger than any single animal that happens to step on their ant hill. The corporate markets work in a similar way. Here in the USA and around the world Freedom Scientific has consistently tried to monopolize the access technology market. They have all kinds of deals going with state agencies, other corporations, and have cared less and less about their customer base. However, some of the customers are fighting back by creating a free/low cost screen reader like NVDA, and everyone who can contribute to NVDA does so. As a result in the space of five years or so NVDA has taken a huge chunk of Freedom Scientific's screen reader market a lot of that was due to their high prices, bad tech support, buggy software, and NVDA has made a big difference for people like myself who couldn't afford the price Freedom Scientific were charging for Jaws. Those customers who chose to drop Jaws for NVDA may have been akin to ants initially, but get a few thousand or more customers to leave Jaws for NVDA and Freedom Scientific stands to lose millions of dollars because of their greedy practices. As I said there are always checks and balances even for the mightiest corporations. Cheers!

Hi Shaun, Well, that may be the case, but that is really the advantage of a forum. A person can go to the forum, click on the new link, and use the h key to look at all the various threads with new posts and only read the ones of interest. If there is a thread on BK2 and I have no interest in that game I can skip it. With a mailing list everything is just mailed to a person's inbox and they have to delete all the messages they don't want to read before reading the ones they do want to read.

The gremlins in the gremlins movie were ugly little monsters created when Billy fed the little Mugwas after midnight which isn't quite the same thing as gremlins in the folk tale sense. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Draconis Releases DoItWrite 1.0
I may have to look into that myself. I've also been blind my entire 33 years and could never quite get the hang of this writing print business. I can sign my first and last initials but even that's probably not very consistent.

Just what I needed, being blind from birth and though familiar with letter and number shapes from playing with alphabet blocks as a kid, I haven’t written them much. This is good practice, since I’d like to enter my passcode without the thing blabbing to the rest of the world. :) Great job, guys.

Re: [Audyssey] Email List
Hi John, Well, as I have mentioned on another thread here I've decided against setting up a forum as many list members are dead set against that idea. So regardless what we will do we will still have a mailing list we just have to see if we can fix what is wrong with our mail server or find a different service provider. :D Cheers!

Some of you have been unsubscribed from the list without warning or notification, some of your accounts were automatically put on no mail by Mailman, some of you could get list mail but were unable to post messages, and some of you haven't had any problems at all. Despite numerous attempts to uncover the root of all these problems no one as yet has found out what is causing these and other technical issues. Just this afternoon another list member has come to me with problems with his subscription. As usual I have turned it over to the server admins in hopes that a solution may finally be found. If not then I think it might be in our best interests to think about a different solution. What I mean by that is simply this. I know that many of you are here because you would prefer a mailing list over a forum. However, it seems for whatever reason Mailman, the software we use to run the list, is having problems making it a hassle for many list members, the admins, and myself to keep this going as is. If we can not resolve the technical problems in the next few days I wonder how many of you would strongly object to me replacing this list with an Audyssey forum similar to what Audiogames.net has now. Alternatively if you strongly object to a forum I suppose we could go back to Yahoo Groups or try Google Groups instead. Any thoughts?
