Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? Hell yeah, I'd do it! While being blind is turning out not to be the catastrophe I thought it would be, still I'd much rather have my vision back and have to rebuild my life, than to remain being blind.That's a no brainer, if you ask me.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? @Braille:That happens though even if you don't remember it...okay maybe not so much now for the user guide stuff but certainly 10+ years ago when everything had printed manuals.which is one thing I miss about modern tehnology, now you get a little slip of paper in a box instead of a nice printed manual. Even flat pack furniture skips out on the cheap stuff, or so I ben told. That being said I got into the same discussion with family who work in preschool settings and an interesting point was raised. I was asked if it's easier not seeing the traffic that's coming, that got me thinking that in some situations,not seeing what's coming is a good idea. I've been skiing and it was more interesting not seeing where I was heading and going by feel, not by sight...though admittedly I had my head down the whole time anyhow.

Re: A few questions about creating a big game
Re: A few questions about creating a big game jonikster wrote:Hello.For a long time already, I had an idea to create a game like a real world. But not like the real world, with their countries, etc. Not text, sound, like GTA.But there are a few questions that I can not solve. Help me please:1. The client I want to develop on C#. But in which programming language is better to develop a server? I know that C++ is faster than C#, but C++ is difficult. Will it effectively use sockets in C# or Python?2. What is the best way to implement maps? Create multiple maps for homes, each state, or one large map? And the problem is that I know how to create different steps sounds, but how to create walls, different background sounds in different places, etc? Maybe there is literature on creating maps?3. How best to store information on the server? In a database or in files?Thanks in advance!Hello Jonikster!I'll address the points you made:1 - When developing games for the first time, I don't think it is worthy to decide which language to create your application, simply by their speed. I can't tell about python, but both C++ and C# are capable of using sockets effectively, and the speed gap between them is negligible for this case. Nowadays people are building muds with NodeJS. It doesn't mean you should pick the "flavour of the month" language.You should pick up a language you are comfortable with, stick with that language and only them you will have results;2 - It depends on which platform you want to build. Is this a 3D game in unity or a text based one? I don't have much experience with 3D, but in 2D it's usually easier to split your maps into chunks of two or three dimensional arrays and link them together. Even big open world 3d games do something like that, like World of Warcraft. In the cases of MUDs, you could have only a big array/list of Rooms with x and y positions(and z if you want to simulate depth).The states you can implement with a finite state machine, and I'm not sure what do you mean by walls;3- Json is a great format to save your files and it's pretty easy to create a reader/writer in any language to import or export. Creating a database may be overkill, more so if you are using a relational database. Another format is XML, which the .NET framework has a built-in lib for you to use and it's pretty easy as well, though not as readable as a Json can be.

Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible
Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible I am enjoying the game, but either I am very unlucky or the percentage rates shown on quests aren't accurate, since the number of times I've failed at a quest with %80 success rate is rather astounding .I can see the game being fun with it's progressive gameplay, though I hope there is enough ntext to keep matters interesting once you've finished the tutorial, since the problem I had with a lot of rpgs that are prepare and forget is that they can feel a little too disconnected from the player, e.g you just equip your character with the best weapon and armour and then do an automated quest or combat, and the fact that the quests themselves don't seem to come with much by way of explanatory text.Still we'll see I'm still on the tutorial at the second.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? do you actually, honestly believe that, when you claim that being blind is not different than being sighted? The limitations imposed by blindness are not minor. This isn't depression, this is reality. To give you an idea on how important sight is, over 50% of the brain, maybe even more is dedicated to processing visual input. If it was truly minor, and unnecesary, such a massive amount of brain wouldn't be alocated to it.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? To the person who said they can't live alone, that sounds more like a limitation you are placing on yourself than an actual limitation caused by blindness. I lost my visionabout five years ago and have never stopped living alone, and if I can do it, anybody can.Not only is half the brain involved in processing vision for those who are sighted, it is estimated that sighted people take in 80% of what they know about the world around them through their eyes. That's a large part of the world you live in to lose if you are blind.Yes, you can adapt to living without vision such that it is not a major problem, but don't kid yourself into thinking that being blind is only a minor disability, it is not.Initially, after I lost my vision I considered joining one of the advocacy groups such as the NFB or the ACB, or the AFB, but once I started learning more about them I realized that they were not what I thought they were and abandoned that thought real quick. Especially the NFB, they are very much like the NRA in their atitudes, very militant.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? I was talking about success in post 53; I'm both thankful and exceptionally humbled to be mentioned in a well phrased and put together post like BlindJedi's 60. This is precisely what I mean; I write a bunch of stuff which is to me absolutely pointless because I've already learned it, so there's no further need to dwell upon it and all I need do is catalog it... I could privately do that in a journal!and then I come across a post or receive a message from someone that says something to the effect that, dde, you're so right! I'm not sure where you come up with this stuff, but keep it coming! You've persuaded me to do such and such and it really worked out! I'm thankful to you! I appreciate your advice! Here's a thumbs up and some karma for ya! Do you mind if I add you to skype or can we chat on TT? Hey, you're the guy who did walkthroughs for Lunimals and Castaways, right? Do you play such and such game? how do you do this particular thing? do you think it'd be better to do this, or to do that?It's humbling, I tell you! I have two choices on what I can do with this immense gift I get from those who bestow it upon me... I can justify being the puffed up know-it-all because I have the reputation and chops to back it up, or I can keep doing what I do and guarantee myself and those who come to me at least an ounce of success every time I'm asked to give advice or esearch a particular topic. then, I end up with both the responsibility and the powerful privilege of managing $300 that are not my own to hand out a bunch of copies of a game I otherwise never would have given out! Woo!You know what? I love you all. Call it sappy, mushy, whatever you want, but this website and every single one of its members has taught me a little something, even if that something was something I already knew and just rediscovered. I try to read every post, but I obviously can't; that doesn't make you less important. There are just far too many of you, and I have a ton of stuff on my plate at any given moment in time. Can you imagine what your life would be like if you spent every day trying to read, oh, I dunno, every post posted by at least a thousand people on a forum? Twitter itself is overwhelming; I have both it and a facebook! somewhere in between I still have chores to do, children to feed, a wife to whom I'm commited, a mother and father who want to know where I am and when I'm coming home, a grandfather who's slowly dying and whom I'd seriously like to see one more time before he goes, and then? I gotta take a breath... I'm just happy to be here. I can't put it any better than that.

Re: What do you thing about Bokura No Daiboukenn games story? I see where your coming at, somehow it's one of the series fun aspect, but it also somehow breaks immersion though, for me, really not that much. But I still think Bito deservs these red paintballs lol.Also, I like how the hero sometimes becomes so angry that he destroys everything in his way. No such things in BK3 though, I guess he became wiser/acquired more self-control during those 4 years between 2 and 3.But I'd admit the hero is what bugs me the most in these games. He sounds like a boy, but sometimes it's really difficult to imagine he's not a fully grown man. I mean OK, sometimes his reactions are over the top, but still.I wish he had a defined name. I mean, the Zelda series has Link, the Ys series has Adol Christin, so it would feel more natural if the BK series' hero had a name. Especially since he actually talks, unlike some other action/rpg heroes.

Re: Huboodle - 6 games in one!
Re: Huboodle - 6 games in one! Huboodle now has a db page, find it here Actually I feel a little guilty for not getting this done sooner, indeed I do hope Lee hobbs and others at Appa11y didn't think my miner irritation at the signup process was the reason the page didn't get added . As with other multiple game platforms such as Rs games, the page will get expanded with details of more games as and when they are added. I'm also afraid that I did take a miner shortcut and simply note that Word war, Battle cats and Word builder are available for Android. Btw, Had you considered making a "casino" separate from the other games containing black jack, Pirate Poker and likely the wheel of fortune too? It just seemed a little strange to me that the wheel of fortune was inside trivia trail, when all the other games were separated, and especially if more casino games are coming in the future, it'd be nice if there was a specific place for them. one thing I am liking in Huboodle is the extensive single player options and the congrats messages, that's definitely a nice way around, and also appeals to the less competitive, though the competition options are obviously there too. One game I'd love to see (indeed I've been looking for for a while), is a board game style trivial pursuit, with different squares offering different questions, indeeda Huboodle board game where different squares involved different types of challenge or casino games would be pretty cool, especially to play with someone else, actually my lady is a big fan of word and trivia games, and though we do play games on the Amazon Alexa it'd be nice to have something for Ios we could do together, or indeed separately.

Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible
Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible there's a lot of stuff, and actually some decent text. When you go to something like "Pack of wolves" where it goes into what skill you use, what level and how long it will take and all, it then will give a description of what you are doing and why. Some of the descriptions are pretty good. Right now I'm fighting an evil barbarian and the description of the quest put me right there. Usually quests you can do that further a journal goal or are story related have a closing bit of text when you are done for you to listen to. For more active stuff to do, try leveling your lore bits with a game that is pretty much mastermind and there is some weird sound game to make your gems better, but I don't know quite what. Also, even after the journal entries take you to a town, try listening at old taverns because there are quite a few side quests you can get, such as I got the Raid camp stuff I've got to do by listening in Torr. The quests have no big thing for the story as a whole but they give me something to do beyond the basic stuff and are helping me get gold and gear.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? What if you want to be average? What if you would be perfectly happy blending in? As a blind person, that's harder to do. Not impossible, depending on the setting, but you definitely stand out in certain scenarios where you wouldn't as a sighted person. While there are many people who love the attention, or at least, love the ways in which it can get you noticed, there are many other ways in which one can stand out too that wouldn't involve holding a cane or walking with a guide dog.It's not all bad, by any means. And I think if I hadn't had such a crap ton of bad experiences as a child, my blindness wouldn't have played such a big role in shaping who I've become. For example, No one would dream of telling an abuse victim that their skittishness and other ill effects of the abuse are just a minor setback, would they? Maybe that's a bad example, but I can't seem to come up with a better one off the top of my head.My point is, as a blind person, you can't just be content with being average. You do have to work harder in some ways, such as with finding employment. You can't start from the bottom and work your way up with retail or fast food jobs, as most people do. That does put you at a disadvantage, because most blind people I've known have had to start writing their resumes later as a result. Employers notice that. They wonder why they should hire someone who they need to provide accomodations for, and just what were they doing in all of those years when their peers were working?These are just a few of the considerations that can make life more difficult for us. Yes, I get that sometimes we have useful skills that some sighted folks do not. The hard part is being able to use them in a way that makes a contribution to society when people don't believe in us. When you grow up around people whose first question is, "so, what do you do?" Clearly wanting you to wax poetic about your job, and you don't have one, that kind of does shut out oppurtunities for socialization, and possibly even future networking. When your response to that question has to necessarily be nothing, people aren't usually tolerant of that, at least not in my experience. Then again, as I said, I'm from a rural area, where a lot of older folks live, and they're pretty set in their ways about how life should work.Also, being self taught about subjects is a great thing, but again, not everyone wants or needs to be so driven. If a sighted person doesn't have to do this, why should we just to deserve to be taken seriously? Personally, I've always loved to read. I soak up information like a sponge. At the age of 7 or 8, I taught myself how to use a Braille Lite 40 that my school bought for me. I also practically taught myself JAWS a few years later, how to use the internet, and many other computer concepts as well. People were always impressed by this, but I say anyone can do it if they want to. It's just a matter of whether it's both within their interests and skill set.Speaking of which, i've always heard that blind people make great entrepeneurs, because it kills two birds with one stone. We avoid the unemployment curse, and we further our cause to make society understand that we're just like everyone else. But, again, not everyone is cut out to run a business. I would be awful at it. I'm not good at math, and I'm also an introvert. My best friend, on the other hand, has exactly what it takes, and is working on this now. he's extremely charismatic and will doubtless be great at it. He never wanted to start a business because he felt he had to, though. He just happens to be passionate about what he does, and it shows, which of course is another huge reason why he'll be successful no matter what hurdles and setbacks he faces.I just wish that it was more acceptable to be yourself, whether you're the next Bill Gates or just an average blue collar Joe, regardless of whether you have sight or not.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? I know what a lot of you have said here from personal experience and can sum it up this way.I know a lot of sighted people who are more visually impaired than most of the blind people I know.Blindness shouldn't define you, you should be defining your blindness.Yeah, I'd love to have my sight back, but since that isn't in the cards I've been dealt, I don't let my blindness bother or define me other than that it's just one of my many traits, just as my hair is brown or my eyes are green are traits.Some of my family members treat me as if I'm completely helpless. If I can't convince them that that simply isn't the case, I steer clear of them, the last thing I want is for them to treat me as helpless in front of other people.At our family Christmas party last year, while I was navigating my way through the house towards a bathroom, a sister in law decided that I needed help navigating and grabbed the waistband of my pants and started yanking it around in an attempt to get me to go where she wanted me to go. After telling her to let go of me didn't work, I turned around and slapped her and told her that not only is that not the proper way to guide a blind person, it was a totally inappropriate way to touch anybody. She and my brother left soon afterwards. I don't normally go around hitting people, but not only did I feel that she was being completely inappropriate, it was embarrassing, and she wouldn't back off after I told her to let go of me.

Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible Yep, I'm getting that the game is something of a fire and forget, but on the other hand that does make it nice to do when doing something else, and at least the game has reasonable equipping options and doesn't require you to take hours looking through god knows how many complex stat tables. I tried one of the lore fragment things. I really should've got it but the markers seemed very odd according to what I was doing, still I'll try again at some stage. The only thing that worries me at the second is lack of text, since I really wish the generic quests had a bit of text to say how you did. Even adventure based games like Warriors 2 and Kingdom of loathing had this, and does make the game feel a bit more like playing fruitpot sometimes.

What if she thinks I'm ungreatful because I keep asking for more! I'll just buy it myself, except that I'm overdraft by like, $300! Three hundred in the whole and no way to get out at present! What am I thinking! How am I supposed to even think about buying such a thing! What kind of dad am I!

Re: What do you thing about Bokura No Daiboukenn games story? I like three the best, and also like the breaking of the fourth wall and the fact that the game pokes fun at itself. That's not really about the story, though, so I don't think that has an impact.. the story itself is good because it shows how much the character has developed since the first game. I also think the voice should be a little different, I almost think multiple voices wouldn't be a bad idea, but that's me though. The fact that the story in BK 3 also has to do with teaming up with people and actually shows character relationships is one of the best parts of it. It's not an extraordinary work of fiction, but sometimes simple is best, as it ishere.

Re: Moving away from BGT and learning python
Re: Moving away from BGT and learning python Well, honestly. Python's indentation is may be the only thing that may frustrate beginner users. However, Python is a piece of heaven comparing to some other languages where you get frustrated with null pointer exceptions, data conversions, not to mention that it's quite easy to forget to enclose braces when you have lots of nested blocks. I'm using Java at work, and I've realised how I miss Python, although I'm still using it for writing NVDA addons and some other private stuff. Python is far from perfect, because nothing in this world is perfect, but Python is very popular and saves your time a lot, at least from my experience. For me it's more important to get things done as soon as possible, than spending weeks of work on something that I can get in a single day. Life is too short for that.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? I do think this issue of entitlement is one sided though. Yes, sighted people can be pushy and entitled but so can blind people. I'd even argue blind people are more entitled and arrogant and pushy than sighed people in some cases too.Eh, maybe? I mean, at the extremes, we have the coddled blind people, and the militant activist blind people, and both of these can lead to some pretty self-entitlement-shaped attitudes and behaviors. And there is this culture that showers perceived disadvantage with free stuff. I don't really know how you'd go about measuring entitlement, though, so whether that manifests as a greater percentage in one group or the other, I couldn't say.Either way, it's bad and everyone should learn to stop getting mad at people for the terrible, vile, fiendish, diabolical offense of not giving them everything they want when and how they want it.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? Well, since some people mention driving here and there, I have to admit it was a big deal for me for quite a long time. I have to admit, since my father's job is about reparing cars, since he did collect several old cars from the 30s or 50s, and as such I was so keen on the subject one way or another, the fact I wouldn't be able to drive a car was definitely hard to deal with.I remember, I used to consider an engine's noise as mainly 2 tones, the engine's buzzing and the explosions it generates. By analysing the pitch difference between the two, I would be able to say how many cylinders there were. At that time my father didn't tell me that much about how a car works, and still I figured out that kind of detail eventually.But now, as we sometimes do very long trips, I always think it is a good thing I'm not the driver, as I clearly don't imagine being able to concentrate for so long.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? At Nocturnus, I didn't take your question as argumentative. It's a hard one to answer, though. In my heart of hearts, I wish I could say that it's ok to be good enough for my friends and loved ones, and screw the rest of 'em. But the world just doesn't work like that. There are politics no matter where you go, and, as you said, you have to do a lot of proving to others how capable you are. Sighted people don't usually make a point to question other sighted people's parenting skills, at least not directly. We've all heard the horror stories about Facebook groups and subreddits, but, since I'm not a parent myself, it wouldn't be right of me to estimate what, if any, psychological effect those kinds of things have. They may very well do that to parents with other forms of disabilities, too, but this is not a subject on which I'm well versed, so I'm steering clear of that angle. While some people embrace that challenge, and in fact pride themselves on being ambassadors for the blind, I have never had the desire to do that. As I said, if I were an average person, like so many of the people I've grown up around and lived with, and just had simple things like close friendships and a supportive and loving partner, I'd be satisfied with my life. Is it impossible for me to have these things as a blind person? Of course not, and if I implied that, I certainly didn't mean to. The problem is that you have to be bold and brave and forward, all things that I am not, in order to get those things. It seems that way, anyway, because that's how most of the blind people I know are.As for the NFB thing, thankfully, I've only ever known one extremely militant person who was involved in the organization. He literally quoted The nature of Independence at me as though it was scripture. Thinking about it now, it was so over the top it makes me laugh, but it did disturb me for quite a bit after it happened. Because of that, I went through a long phase where I tried to convince people that the NFB was a cult, or at least displayed many cult-like tendencies. Looking back on it, I'm not exactly proud of how I acted back then. At the same time, it also taught me that I didn't want to get involved with any of the blindness advocacy groups.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? As far as entitlement goes, I will gladly accept anything that I need that society has decided to provide to me at no cost, but on the other hand, I don't go out of my way to find every little thing that's available to me at no cost.Some examples:I do take advantage of the free talking book service provided by the national library service and won't pay for services like audible because of it, though I do pay for Book Share.On the other hand I don't use the inexpensive or no cost paratransit services that are available in lue of paying for a taxi because I find all of those paratransit services inconvenient. The taxi service I use is usually there within ten minutes of my call for service where the paratransit services require that you make all transport reservations at least 24 hours in advance. Plus the last four times I tried to use the paratransit service to go somewhere and back, they never showed up and I ended up missing the appointment which was really annoying.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? [[wow]].Yeah to cae, I know right?27 posts yesterday now look at it.A lot to respond to.I personally think we were better before when we were warehoused in institutions maybe not all of it but we knew where we were going.In the 80s about the time I was born a move was underway for change, just like the cloud of today the word was mainstreaming.Mainstreaming just like the net of today promised, equal opertunity coupled with specialised training skills the blind would become part of the sighted world and be better intergrated into the worlds new opperating system.The world had been running for so long on unix and dos and now it was time for windows, massive disk storage, and all round freedom.And in the beginning the utopia held itself pritty much together.True I had bad teachers and aids, tutors for braille and some service issues, sadly this meant my math and some of my education was not up to snuff but I never had to many issues at least up to highschool.In highschool, there were still special units and seprate arieas which in the beginning we all thought was good.Sadly just like in win3x where programs often grabbed ocupied memmory addresses causing a crash, the school grabbed money meant for me and used it for itself, we didn't have protections like our educational union in place like we do now.Things went south quickly and I was happy to get out of there having achieved well something but not really much.At the end of this I put it down to it being a new system.I hit university and the new utopia seemed to be in place, on sight information and transcription, monitering and service requests, if you or your teachers had a problem they simply reported it to it and some guru would come and fix it.Sadly it wasn't all that good for me.Up till now service from my organisation had been good, instructors were good, I even had some life skills training.However thats where it fell over.I have already mentioned this in more firy detail but will go into it here.It was necessary for me at the time to apply to a disability government agency for my equipment and some other things.The mistake I made almost immediately was to insist I got the equipment I wanted.I got some cheap and nasty laptop from a cheap and nasty company which had no wish to support me at all.The agency said it had worked with others for the last 2 years.And they would be right since 2 years was what I got out of it.Though in practice it would be 9 months of actual use and the rest of the time of babysitting.Basically everuy time I turned it on, it would either not start, or start but menus wouldn't work right.This was the first month of work, start it up, it would run, a couple weeks later it would be full of something, menus stopped working, I reformatted.After a month of this I was really cheesed.I managed to get tweakui 1.33 which cleared histories out and that seemed to at least temperarily fix the issue.2 months later I updated and xp wanted to remove updates again, what?Why?I decided to stop it doing that.And it started but no keyboard, another reformat and reinstall and it worked.Next try to connect my serial dectalk synth and see if it worked, no dice, 5 reformats later and I gave up.I had an old pcmcia card synth and it failed had hal 2, got upgrade, it worked again.Then bliss for 6 months the unit lived, it rumbled forward and I was happy.But it kept locking up and the fan it was loud.I took it in, they basically told me, fuck off, we are not interested blind retarded helpless fucker, fuck off and go home.Not exactly this but there was no interest at all.Finally I decided to update bios, it started beeping and beeping and beeping and I turned it off then I turned it on, and it didn't work.We took it in and they tried it, turn it on and it got vary hot.We took it back to the company that made it.They were shocked with service we had recieved.The unit we had got had defective chips in it, how it was sold to that store which doesn't exist anymore is still a mistory.We had ensurance for it, it was the cheapest unit at the time they said and we got 1400 bucks from them which was what it would cost to repair it.I went back to another toshiba I brought myself and it actually worked properly.Later on I tried again to get jaws for a complex class, and it came at the end of the course and was completely useless.With university over well to as far as it would go, it was time to get a job.They tried, and failed, then sent me to their job agency.They came round and assessed me.They got me to do a cv which I did.The agents burned out like an old lightbulb.Sometimes my data was preserved, at which case I was given another agent.But mostly it wasn't so they assessed me again.Eventually I had had enough.5 years after being promised through school then uni and with all my advisers telling me I would get a job, and not getting one I was about to commit suicide.I just couldn't

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? ok so, you can't ignore being blind. That is like ignoring that you are paralyzed. You cannot do it. Every way you do things, you do it that way likely because you are blind. If you were a sighted person, for instance, you would likely use your eyes more often to perform those very same tasks. Also on help, while it is true that sighted people also ask for help, it is mainly for technical things and such. Blind people have to ask for help more often, and for things a sighted person would never ask for help for. There is a very large difference between asking for help to clean out a pc, and to cross the street.As for the brain, from studies I have read, some of that 50% actually sits, and atrophies during early inphancy, in the pruning phase of the brain, where many unused brain cells are killed off. So no, you don't actually use all of that to process sound etc. Even for the parts that you do, it is an adaptation, which indicates that blindness is serious. The occipital lobes were not designed to be used as audio processing devices. Your disabled body basicly hacks the brain, and forces a part of the brain, through sensory input to assume a role it wasn't designed to do. A kind of hacking I would say. Similar to trying to use your feet as hands.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? I wouldn't say I'm not interested at all in getting sight back, for I'm interested on how it would change my perception of the world and the way I do certain things, but I have to agree with posts such as 60 and 61. Then again I have been blind almost since birth, so of course depending on when you lost your sight your perceptions of what you can or can't do can differ widely.But I'm at the point where I can live like the next guy. Well, technically, I'm still working on it in some aspects, but I'm at a point where I'm fairly confident it will happen.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? @TJT1234 I think it’s more than the limitations we have as blind people. I think that it’s the fact that we live in a visual world. It is that lack of something basic that we all should of had but don't. It is crazy to think about how many small things we miss even in communication as facial expressions and gestures speech a thousand unspoken words. I think that part of it is because we are reminded of our limitations from the sighted world but I don't think that's all of it. It is sort of like everyone that does not have a disability starts a game of Monopoly with all the railroads and they can get to the other properties faster because they can see them. Whereas the rest of us have to work twice as hard to get the same or at least as close to the same things as possible. Sometimes you will get the nice players that will help you and sometimes you don't. I'm not complaining about it this was the hand I was dealt and I am making the best with what I got. That's not to say that I wouldn't want to be on the same playing field with those that don't have a disability.

Re: join the new blind fun zone forum and have, well, fun I like this idea, however I would say one thing, you really shouldn't be using x10 as your webhost. I mean if it were to be just a forum, I guess it could get by, but since you want to expand it I think it is only fair that I advise of this now so that you don't have to find out later as I unfortunately did. Yes, I got duped by x10's 10mb per file upload limit. It's quite unfortunate considering it is a free host, but it's just not gonna work for your purposes. I'd say invest in a vps.

Re: poll. New virtual state
Re: poll. New virtual state I think a utopia would be nice but its not like it is in the movies.Everyone talks about the ai take over, so maybe this empire thing aint up to us anymore, and to be honest I wander if the machines would make a better job of it than we currently do seriously.Votes, fuck it, elections, out the window!The world is no longer votes but business, other countries china, russia may interfeer with us but its probably just business.Others have their own agendas and all business.Trump is one of the big guys and we thought having a single voice would be good, and in theory thats a good idea.The issue with trump is that anything which is not to his liking is fake, all news is fake, everything else doesn't exist and he doesn't like just about everyone around him.His temper lets him down a big deal.There are rumors on some channels that there are places where they are training for the end when it comes.Rumors are that trump launches the first nuke this year somewhare.He says the fbi should focus on all the shootings rathan russia, and I do wander what he is hiding.Does the guy in charge of the biggest company actually have full control of yhis own.He is scared and covers things up, which means he probably doesn't, and maybe something is not good down below.Becides that, its the problem of globalisation and capitalism, good to start off with but we are dependant on money, and the markets.Machines you can hope don't become like us like that.Scifi movies like the matrix excluded but if the machines want the world, I'd say have a crack, we repeat the same thing continuously so maybe we become slaves for a bit, maybe we don't, nothing can be worse than what we do to ourselves.Back to the topic title, I wouldn't even try to make another state, most of the big governments, companies and spys are to busy fighting eachother we are nothing to the big corps.Its true, they own our data, our private lives, our cash and our boddies but we mean nothing to them so they let us continue, get theri attention and stop them from their goal which is knocking the stuffing out of eachother and they will kill us.Best leave well alone and survive as much as we can.They let us know that they spy on us, but show no real interest.We are fighting giants, but they see themselves as the threat usually, and not us.In some way all these shootings and terror attacks are while a bit of an issue shielding us from the monsters.To be blown up by a terrorist or shot by some mental maniac is bad enough but to be basically got rid of by one of the monsters well.To be honest who knows what giants think.I'd hate to get a big fist in my balls though.The only other thing on our side is that unless you steal from them or something even if you tried they don't care enough to respond.Even new zealand the country i live in is not imune.We have our issues, but at least for now we have kept out of most of the wars at least for 50 years or so, and while we have the usual small to medium attacks, crimes, and shootings, but no one has tried of yet to attack us directly for any reason for a while now.Hate to say this but maybe if the constatution was modified such that well no one should be armed bar well those that should we wouldn't have the issue.Here the police have guns, and yes we can defend ourselves if we need to, we all have licences, but its not ok for well everyone to just carry their piece about.Maybe when the us was yung you needed a gun everyone needed to be protected, but there are those that know this and can abuse this.If everyone carries a gun, heck, soon it will be worse.Maybe civilians should carry stun rifles or something about in case.As I said not sure about the us but as they are now we havn't had to many issues, a few shootings true and hunting mishaps but nothing totally huge.Ofcause its always a problem when your brother is a trump supporter.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? I do think this issue of entitlement is one sided though. Yes, sighted people can be pushy and entitled but so can blind people. I'd even argue blind people are more entitled and arrogant and pushy than sighed people in some cases too.Oh the militant groups are out there though, they absolutely are, I'm not going to say they aren't because you haven't run across them yourself but they certainly do exist.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? (I go to sleep and the thread expands to 150%. How can I respond to all that?)User guides and street crossings: sighted people do have to do those things. The advantage they have is being able to learn from watching others. And also, the fact that they are taught these things from a very early age, and blind people tend to be told they can't and kept in a bubble. Sighted children get edutainment videos about crossing the road. Barney, Disney, flippin' Dragonball all released videos about how to safely cross the street.Claiming that blindness is not a disability feels a lot like redefining words, IMO. It's a disability in the sense that blindness is the lack of a whole sense that the overwhelming majority has and have built civilization and basic adaptations around. If blindness was the norm, sight would be a superpower whose main weakness would be relying on it at the expense of nonvisual solutions to things.Having said that, though, I feel like some people in this thread are vastly underselling their abilities, and overestimating the sighted. Driving and easy access to text and nonverbal communication are denied us, true. On a "completely unrelated" note, did you know that cars are little more than 100 years old, and that even in the west, majority literacy is a relatively recent phenomenon? One would think that this would make blindness less disabling in 1800 than 2018, and yet, the oldest depiction of a blind person functioning independently I've read is Treasure Island, with the closest second being the Acts of Andrew (which is commonly considered a late Medieval writing claiming to be a late Roman era writing).How does blindness interfere in my daily life, other than driving and access to writing? Dropping things, and searching in the dark unused places where spiders gather. The former applies mostly to tiny things like nuts, and the latter is resolved by getting a healthier house.In a broader sense, I like creating things, and that my only means of doing so is handcrafts and typing chafes very much. By which I mean: video games. I'd love to go outside and see the sky and the grass and the trees, and that inability is a genuine loss, but it's pretty inconsequential, as losses go.Sticking out like a sore thumb, though? I hate that. I'd leave my house far more often if I could do so without being noticed. The reason this is noteworthy, though, is because it's different and unusual. Avoidance for fear of unsolicited attention is a self-perpetuating death-spiral. Avoid being seen doing things enough, and making a sandwich becomes a subject worth commentary from anyone who should pass by. If it doesn't go away after doing mundane things becomes normal, then people are being jerks, intentionally or otherwise.But those jerks, though. The self-entitled ones who act as though they are entitled to "help", and if you object in any way, they get to call you the rude one. That's a subject best left to Tumblr and blogs, but gah I am not a vending machine that takes in charity and outputs validation. I don't want sight as a means to escape this; I just want people to stop being entitled asses in sheeps clothing.So, yeah, like just about every issue ever, there's nuance and knowledge gaps and experiential differences all over the place.(Re: NFB. I've never encountered the types people talk about here. It's easy to see where the militant identitarian demanding stereotype comes from (just go to a general session at a convention), but the "blind people must x" and "have you heard of our lord and savior Kennith Jernigan?" stuff is well outside my experience. YMMV.)

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? This topic has gone way off topic. I think that Turtlepower has a point though. It is hard to be average when other people don’t see you that way. Even talking about disabilities makes people uncomfortable. Let's take my graduate level diversity class for example. The topic we were supposed to be talking about during 1 class was people with disabilities and we did talk about a bit however at 1 point a student changed the subject to the LGBQ community. I agree that that community deserves an equal discussion as well and it had infect had its own discussion but for whatever reason when it was time to focus on those with disability’s the topic quickly changed. I think that this uncomfortableness does need to be addressed with people that do not have disabilities as a whole. I understand what that awkwardness/guilt feels like as I feel that way every time white privilege is brought up but for whatever reason that can be talked about for hours and hours whereas the discussion of people with disabilities is just to taboo to talk about. At least these are the observations that I have made and if other people have noticed something differently please share! Back to Turtle power’s point that it is hard to appear as average when others don’t view you that way. They often do not even view people with disabilities as on the same level as other people. This is a reason that I tend to be shy until I meet someone and they get to know me. You may feel that you are average but with the cane or a dog you are always going to be looked down on by some people and that amount whatever it is does have a negative effect.

Re: I Have Done A Hero's Call Review For Main Menu its not just that, that in and of itself doesn't bother me, its the fact that this guy literally cannot speak publicly, its like he's got a stutter, but not quite. I don't think he actually does, I just think he can't do radio, and it drove me nuts and I quit listening.Plus, their format annoyed me how they'd do one large segment over 3 or 4 weeks. Like, OK, I'd find out everything quicker if I just tried to talk to people who have / use / have seen this product you're demonstrating.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? I think it's sevral things Jeff.One: The obvious argument, you stick out with, say a wheelchair or a cane or somethinghowever that leads to a related if tangential pointwhy certain disabilities are more 'accepted' than othersSecondly: The idea that, or perception that disabled people in general are weaker or not able to do certain things.It ties into the general perception of what is disabled, I mean the symbol is a wheelchair, right? Sonaturally, people associate disability with not being able to do stuf and thus have a mindset in certain cultures that it's a weaker group of people.Third: CulturesI touched on this briefly in point 2 but.Had a friend who was of Thai descent in college and she spoke more Thai than English , but her culture had a totally different way of viewing disability than say a Western nation. I'll take it a step futher and throw religious and cultural views into the mix, some sects of various religions believe disability o any kind to be punishment for sins, for years the oft told tale was masturbating would make you go blind. Each culture has its own way how it views disability however based on a whole range of factorsFour: How various disabled groups present themselves:I'l refer back to the militant blind activist groups and autism activist groups here, they present to the world at large their views and those views quickly get taken up as the views of an entire set of people, at least if you believe everything you read, which a lot of people do. Even if there's several moderate people in either group the perception (which isn't helped by the extremists) is that all blind people or all autistic activists are militant flag waving anarhists hell bent on toppling a world that they don't like and basically, fuck the rest of the world, it's all about them...rightly or wrongly that's the perception of such groups.Also on the subject of entitlement@Orco:I'd argue you could come off as partly entitled for taking free stuff but at the same time society is enabling you to be entitled by showering you with free stuff, it's arguable if you absolutely need every single thing they're throwing at you URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=352981#p352981 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible
Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible I'll go back to old ins and check, there are companions and such I'd like to recruit there anyway, nice if you can get extras by listening at ins, and also a great use for excess gold. I have noticed the path problem though, when I was in the wrong place to get to a new location. Perhaps the developer could add some text, (maybe vo hint text), on the location buttons telling you which has paths going to where, if there are on screen dotted lines we're missing. Still it's not a big deal, or at least not with the size of map I've seen so far, though if there are too many locations that might not be the case.

Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it? so? so let them look! They're wasting their time! I'm not an object in a museum! I'm not an anomaly traversing the universe! I'm not a puppet with someone else pulling the strings! I'm human, capable and living, and I can say that by the simple fact that, I still haven't died! I've lived nearly 30 years, 10 being schooled by people I didn't agree with under most circumstances, 5 trying to put myself together, 3 telling myself it didnt' matter, 1 in which I gave up on caring, 7 in denial, almost 1 in solitude, and nearly 3 at what I honestly feel has been the height of the game, the noon of the day, the apex of everything I'm going to look back at and say, that was awesome!

Re: intriguing email from breaker box games
Re: intriguing email from breaker box games @LordLundin, that's more than generous. This developer lost his "I'm-an-irresponsible-developer, give-me-some-time" attitude years ago. Now he's just got the "I'm-a-greedy-bastard-who-wants-money-from-people-to-spend-it-on-god-knows-what" attitude he's holding up so well.
