Hi all,
Noticed this is a long thread about sharing links without any
actual links.
The Steam page for Forza Motorsport is at the link below:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2440510/Forza_Motorsport/
There's a link to add the Standard Edition to your cart further
down on the page. I'd provide the direct link, but it uses
JavaScript to add it to your cart. Looks like the Steam version is
PC only.
Let's be kind and tolerant on here. Providing links is helpful,
and also no one is obligated to take time to put together
resources. It's hard enough to be a blind gamer, let's make things
as easy as possible for one another.
Cheers,
Patrick

Your point is well taken. I too have seen this on lists
although there is a cooking list I'm
on currently where there are people who will respond favorably
to questions like "How do
you knwo if the meat is b rowned fully?" So yes I get that and
understand the need in
cases like that. I generally search for things on my own before
bringing questions to a
list. But I know many people who don't and it's not always
their fault but I know a lot of
visually impaired and blind people who really don't bother to
search and I guess I was
reacting to past experiences of that kind of thing. So I think
we probably both are
making valid points and thinking of certain situations we have
had. I remember asking
one time on a list how I could email someone a link and was told
to copy and paste it
into my message. Well that didn't work. I never did figure
that out. If I could make it
work I probably would send links especially if I knew what they
were and it wasa quick
and easy thing to do. So I would maybe write out the website or
the name of the
product the person was looking for or whatever and then they'd
write back and say "But
would you send the link?" Really? How hard is it to type in
the website name, go to the
search box and then type in the item you want? So I guess I was
reacting to things like
that which have happened to me where it was clearly laziness or
something on the part
of the person who was asking for the links. Obviously if
someone has tried searching
and it hasn't worked then of course go to lists. I have tried
reading difficult to
understand documentation and other such things and then gone to
lists with questions
or I'd ask for recommendations related to gaming or other things
and get basically no
help so I do know how that is too. So anyway I certainly meant
no insult and I don't
believe I was being insulting. Just as I don't know people's
life experiences and what has
made them react in a certain way neither do they know mine.
Hopefully as we share
that will help us all to better understand and be more tolerant
of each other wherever
we are at in terms of knowledge, tech experience etc.

Ann: You are so, so right! Another thing that these people
aren’t considering it
that, just maybe, we have tried searching and did not get the
result we wanted. I
joined a cooking list that was specifically for blind people
that was to give tips to
blind cooks. Stuff like, instead of saying “cook until golden
brown” they would give
an approximate cooking time. It go the point where people
would ask for a recipe,
and responders would merely copy from the web and paste. No
tips at all for blind
cooks. I griped when being blasted about asking for recipe
modifications. I left
after having been a list member for about 10 years. This tread
has become pretty
much the same. And it is all over a simple request that would
have taken less time
then sending messages telling us to Google.

Hi folks,
This thread is on the verge of getting very nasty, so this will
be my only message
here.
But, what is the point of having a mailing list only to be told
'Google, google,
google, and then to be called lazy if you don't or if you
disagree about being
lectured on doing internet searches? I did not join mailing
lists of any sort to be told
constantly to do internet searches or to search before you dare
take up our precious
time by writing to us on the list.
I've seen this so much on other mailing lists in the last few
years, and I had hoped
this list would be spared all that,but apparently not. 😞

Yes that is why I made this post in hopes that people would
pervade links
to these things instead of like you said just telling them to
ook them up on
google. So I agree with that. from Mich.

My personal opinion is that if someone asks, specifically, for
links, and you
know them, you should provide them, rather than merely suggest
that the
person look them up on Google. That would be far more helpful,
which is
the purpose of the list. After all, there are times when it is
still difficult to
quickly and easily find something through a Google search.

Have you tried searching on Google for something like "forza
motor sport
pc game"? That's what I always do and it usually finds what I'm
looking
for unless the game isn't on the PC.
