Ok well its not that fear of ridicule.
Its the fact that you can't see what you are doing.
Ie if you are on the computer.
if I know aprox what I am doing I can do it whout sight.
But I can't check.
and what will happen and I don't do something wrong.
Lets say format c instead fof format e.
I won't get any feadback.
Nothing its still a valid command. it works.
Um no feadback does mean you need to fly on the seat of your pants.
Ok, sure with sighted help you could remember the menu structures,
maybe even the game moves for each char or whatever and I guess with
trial and error, patience and an infinate supply of time which you
clearly have it would be good.
most of us don't.
I have found myself killing games because I can't get things to work
and by no means do I usually just go and not bother.
But if I can't even get that far not knowing what I need to do then
its not worth my time.
I would probably be cool if all I did was play mainstreams all day long.

and that right there is the problem. why do you guys keep coming
back to sight? I'm 100% blind. Most video games need sight, but
there are also many that don't. so why do you guys keep insisting
that all video games require some degree of vision to play? that's
the big question I would like an answer to. is it just cause someone
tells you that video games are strictly for sighted people, and
therefore they're right no matter what we say or do to prove you
wrong? how can you sit there watching someone play games, and not
even make an attempt to try it for yourself? is it the fear of being
ridiculed perhaps? I'm really trying hard to understand this guys,
but I just can't fathom it.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] my frustration with the blind gaming comunity.
Actually Yohandi, I at least am well aware of what games like
rockband and guitar hero are like, sinse my brother and friends
have them, and I am thus well aware of what I can or cannot see on the screen.
If I can see about configuring my joystick, I might considder pc
streetfighter though, that is a good idea sinse it wouldn't require
me to shell out for a console.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
