Re: [blind-gamers] Anyone using the Razer Nari Ultimate wireless headphones with Haptic feedback

[Shaun Everiss]

Hmmm I'd be interested to but who knows.

I plan to test out a new augmented reality bone conduction headset, and 
may ask if one could use it for games and such and see what that does.

Re: [blind-gamers] swamp runtime error 52

[Shaun Everiss]

Well to be honest, I manage a blog with another user.

Last year due to various hacks and security things I decided to see if I 
could mod the heck out of the site.


The latest wordpress had some sort of health check and I put all sorts 
of errors about security and the like.


While I managed to fix most of them php and sql were out of date and 
that needed the host to move on this.


On sql they moved swiftly but on php they kept doing excuses saying it 
would cause dammage to their network and others had issues.


In late march round the 28th, there was a 2 day server outage, with no 
explanation.


When everything came back up, I was plesently surprised that not only 
was everything updated but they had updated to the latest version.


I am unsure how it happened but it did.

It happened with no notification and was utterly random though.

So I am not sure if the messages  sent did anything.

So yeah, web hosts hmph.

If it ever gets accessible my plan will be to get a cheap web hosting 
plan maybe something with a gb or so of storage and maybe some bandwidth 
enough to serve a wordpress blog.


Either that or just make another wordpress blog on wordpress free, link 
it with a .tk domain then use keybase.public for file storage.


At least if keybase starts working that is what I may end up doing.


Its just good that it was eventually done

developed the belief that any web host I move to is going to have it's 
own problems every now and then.  All I'd be doing is spending a ton 
of work moving to a new place that will be more of the same.  Maybe 
not the exact same problems, but it'll have some way of messing up my

having any of the other problems you have, really).

[blind-gamers] Questions on Time of Conflict by GMAGames

[michael barnes]

Hello,

I am looking to get Time of Conflict by GMAGames. I have some questions 
about this game.
Can you recreate the American Civil War? Can you use the different 
weapons, locations and horses that they used in the Civil War?
Does the game have the drums and other soudns from the Civil War? Can 
you also recreate the different wars that the Native Americans had?
Does the game have the different weapons that they used in those Native 
American wars?

It's a great month so far for game accessibility.  First this, then
the mod for Slay the Spire?  I'm more excited for the future of gaming
than I have been in a long while.

Re: [blind-gamers] swamp runtime error 52

Given you've already got a server yourself, maybe it'd be worth
  hosting your own?
Hiawatha is a pretty lightweight and easy to set up web server
  that'll run on both Windows and Linux
  (https://www.hiawatha-webserver.org).
This said I don't know what's going on in the guts of your site,
  so how much work it'd actually take I don't know.

Re: [blind-gamers] swamp runtime error 52

[Liam Erven]

it's why I went with a company who would just give me a VPS instead of 
going with one of the big web hosting companies.


I've had nothing but problems with the other major hosts.

Re: [blind-gamers] Swamp down

[Jeremy Kaldobsky]

Even though the Swamp game server is only used during multiplayer, when the 
game launches it sends a quick check to my website to see if the newest version 
is being run, plus gets other data it would need to actually connect to the 
game server.  Due to a problem my web host is currently having, it's sending 
back garbage in the message the client is asking for, and it causes an error.  
I've already spent hours talking with the web host, and they've assured me they 
should have it resolved within 24-48 hours (it's been over 24 already), but I 
got tired of waiting and have coded my own fixes that just recognize and filter 
out the garbage in the message.
If you download this tiny file, it will fix that error.
