Re: Monthly chat July 2016 Moderation! Can we please move the monthly chat discussion to This month's topic found here I have provided a link between the two topics and also answered Tjt and Cae jones there, but if we carry on answering this topic it will cause rather a lot of confusion, as well as make the monthly! chat system a bit redundent. This isn't to say stop the conversation, please continue, indeed it's good that a monthly chat topic worked so well, just could we please move to next month's topic now, since it's now August? .

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 Eek, that does sound awful! My newest roommate is from Maryland, and apparently voc rehab in Maryland requires anyone who wants to attend a training facility to spend a week or two at the Baltimore center, in hopes that they'll decide to go there. Apparently, LCB is far superior in the minds of everyone who compares the options, even someone as deep in the NFB as my roommate, and if it's anything like it was in the 90s in Baltimore today, I can see why!

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 CAE_Jones, are you serious that they have a braille dictionary? What purpose could it serve? I can't imagine when it would have been transcribed.Whilst looking for some information about a particular blind person, I came across this article which goes into quite some detail about Kenneth Jernigan, a former President of the NFB. That is interesting, but I shall quote below a small section from the article that goes into some detail about what the working conditions were like at the NFB's Baltimore headquarters during the '90s, when this article was written. To say that I found this paragraph a little surprising is an understatement."The six blind and thirty-four sighted employees must comport themselves like foot soldiers in a national movement, which means they must address their male superiors as "Sir" and never call staffers--male or female--by their first names. It's either Mr., Mrs., or Miss. Everyone refers to Jernigan as "Dr.," even though all his doctorates were honorary. Staffers must be at their desks at 8 a.m., when one of the male administrators dutifully takes attendance. No employee is allowed in the "citizens' lunchroom" between the hours of 8 and 9 a.m. and after lunch. This keeps staff members from developing unbusinesslike, chatty relationships. Lunch periods and clean-up duties are assigned. If employees spill anything on the office carpets, they are fined $10 and denied beverage "carrying privileges" for thirty days. If an employee bumps into a co-worker and either one of them spills a drink, they are both penalized. Staffers are instructed to keep their files and office doors locked when they're not in, even if they're just visiting the rest room. Employees are warned that the brass Medco keys they receive when hired are worth two weeks' pay. If they lose them, they pay for them."I can only hope that working conditions are different now. If you want to read the full text of that article, go here (I am not sure if this link will work correctly): https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic … _vkhClYYg.

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 Re the NFB, I believe I've mentioned this before on here but while they have done and are still doing? some good things I just think they're a bit too heavy-handed. It also seems to me that there is a double standard in the organization. Take for instance the resolution which was passed at this years National convention, which in a nutshell condemns Apple's software and hardware? testing. Yet when the iPhone first came out with VoiceOver the NFB was all praises. So which is it? Are they mad at Apple or not? I vaguely recall a similar thing happening between the NFB and Microsoft. I'm also one who doesn't like their attitude of "my way or the highway."

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 I wouldn't say LCB's library is large, but it's the largest braille library I've been in, so I dunno. There are also bookshelves in just about every room with sufficient wallspace. However, the organization is all but nonexistent. Most of the time you'll find multi-volume books in the same spot, but sometimes even those get mixed up. (I keep feeling an itch to just organize every chaotic shelf I find, but I don't like people "organizing" my stuff, so it feels kinda wrong to try.)Since rooms other than the library have books, there is at least a little organization: the dining room has all the cookbooks, most of the fiction I've found has been in the braille room (but the library has books on every wall from floor to ceiling, some blocked by furniture, so I haven't looked too thoroughly. That's also where I found Eyes of the Dragon and the Aeneid, so it's not just a theology room disguised as a library.) The "ac tivity center" (read: half laundry room, half room with lots of chairs) at the apartments seems to be dominated by the Bible and a dictionary, and those are completely and hopelessly disorganized.I've heard good things about the Dark Tower series, but haven't felt too motivated to look into it until recently. I'll probably try to get a hold of the graphic audios for Mistborn, though I kinda trust both the negative and positive reviews I've heard so amn't quite sure how that will go.I kinda find A Song of Ice and Fire too terrifying to pick up, given all I've heard, and since I'm pretty sure GRR Martin is probably better at gut-punching despair than Wildbow, and Worm was stressful enough and I did just finish reading 1984 .I do find I'm far too reluctant to let any characters go in anything I write, or even sustain serious injuries or losses. I've been trying to get better about it, but every time I almost imply someone died, I find an excuse to keep them around . By episode 19 of this awful thing (Dark please don't read it it's the exact sort of awful you've complained about before), I was trying to correct this, but I suppose that episode 19 opens with a character I'd intended to die reappearing, so even that didn't work out so well. Sigh.

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 I've actualy seen a braille library before at the local society for the blind, but I tended to find that after feeling my way through x number of books mostly and manifestly aimed at the over sixties with no attempt at subject classification (all I saw were either cook books, romance, knitting patterns or crime)k, I sort of lost interest . It sounds like the Nfb indoctrination is a little scary, particularly the way that those in the organization believe themselves to the point that they can't see why their own methodology won't work. I'll say this is one reason I tend to avoid special schools and most societies for the blind in general. My lady has freely never had anything to do with the Nfb, nor does she want to, indeed she regards them as somewhat elitist, and some of the tales of her nfb trained braille teacher who insisted on her using a slate at university are rather horrific, particularly since she wasn't even allowed to use a standard perkins brailler, the teacher was a little slate obsessed. Myself, essays never bother me in general, but then again I write book reviews for fun, poetry to relieve my feelings, audiogames.net entries just for gits and shiggles and my thesis supposedly to get some sort o qualification so writing is just something I'm comfortable with doing in general, indeed to say I've churned out two or three reviews in the past few days just because, I can legitimately say I enjoy the exercise. Btw, my review of King's under the dome is now live, you can read it here The Uplift war and City of mirrors reviews should be on the way. I didn't know tolkien did a translation of the inead, I always thought he was more a schollar of nordic than griek myth, indeed I've had f riends who studdied medeival literature who say his essay on beerwolf is still the seminal work on the subject. Eyes of the dragon is fun, particularly as King's only stab at sort of semi traditional fantasy and a book his kids could read (though he still goes into oddly dirty bits occasionally), though i found it severely slow, and i recal waiting around for a long time for stuff to happen. I was also very disappointed that two of the characters in the ending who at one point it is implied Rowland meets in The Dark Tower never showed up again, King did intimate around Wizard and glass that he was considering them join Rowland and co, but he never did which is severely annoying since they were quite nice characters and also on a hunt for flag.1984 is awesome, albeit my lady absolutely hates it for it's utter uggliness, not just in the government and the torture, but in the way that Winston Smith himself admits to being willing to do anything upto and including throwi ng acid in a child's face to bring down the government, and is in his own way as bad as the people he opposes. My lady actually really! hates the book, though in general while she does have a macabre sence of humour she is not into darkness for darkness sake, and she finds some literature contin a little too much pure suffering for her liking (one reason she and I disagree on game Ice and fire, the series pisses her off with the naked suffering and in her view gratuatus deaths of good people, I however actually like it for the fact that nobody is safe and it contains so much shades of grey.Sadly i still haven't got further with manamon. In general much as I like the game, when I consider sitting down to it I'm mildly put off by the grindery, particularly if I'm tired and have a headache or (as was the case the other day), was very busy, what with meeting some of my lady's friends and seeing the music man and finishing city of mirrors.I mi ght be able to play at some time today and get hooked again since undoubtedly the story is awesome and the combat is interesting when not just killing random things again and again to level your creatures to the point you can actually continue in the story, still I'll save that conversation for the manamon thread.Music man was actually pretty good last night even though it wwas an ameter company. The last production of it I saw the cast were all old and lacking in energy, this one was rather different, although sadly the main girl, marian who sings two songs my lady and I love, then there was you and goodnight my someone, was pretty dire. not only failing to hit several notes cleanly, but absolutely zero magic or on stage presence at all. Not a bad actress, but someone who I got the distinct impression thought she was far better than she actually was, the little boy character Winthrop also needed shooting! (being a child is no excuse for inflicting flat singing on an aud ience). ACtually i always think this when I see a production of A christmas Carol, since Tiny Tim is inevitably a cute child with absolutely zero! ability to sing which is supposed to be adorable but only serves to m

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 (But daddy, I don't want to wait until Monday!)Apparently it isn't exactly normal for one to return from training to find a new roommate having appeared in one's apartment without warning. They came down nearly a week early, so that probably has something to do with it.I just finished both 1984 (Orwell) and The Eyes of the Dragon (Stephen King). I'm not sure what to say about either? I'm trying to start the Aeneid, and I picked up Roverandum off a shelf, saw it was by Tolkien, and then spent nearly two hours reading through the essay that comprises the first third of the book, since apparently they only expected Tolkien scholars to want to read a fairy tale about a lost dog who goes to the moon.(Even though half the books are either religious or nationalist, it's still awesome to just have the ability to pick up random books off shelves and investigate, rather than fiddle with apps and whatever else, and honestly I discovered that I was very mistaken about how to spell a number of words just because I'd never seen them in braille before.)(I do not feel like the training is going anywhere near that "confidence building" thing it's supposed to aim at. I guess I finally finished that blasted essay. Have I mentioned how poorly I get along with essays? Because I don't get along well with essays.)(I also heard the sentence, spoken in what I believe to be complete sincerity, "I don't see how someone can complete the training here and not join the NFB." Perhaps I should go find a thorough introduction to the subject of mind projection and the typical mind fallacy and accidentally leave it on the couch.)

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 @Dino The belgariad, for all the nostalgia value isn't imho as good as Edding's other series, the ellenium trilogy. While the fantasy is somewhat standard, the wit and character interactions are fun, or at least that is how many people describe eddings, albeit I haven't read anything by him for quite some time. I actually started on Magician in case I found the belgariad not as I remembered. I have read magician before, but it was over a very short and crowded weekend, and I really don't remember that much about the book at all, hence why I'm reading it, possibly going on to more feist afterwards. I will say I'm glad I read magician before and recall the story picking up and getting a bit more involved, since currently while not completely a waste of time I'm finding things a trifle on the generic D&D side at the moment with characters who are a bit too shallow and a world that feels very familiar. Fortunately i do re call things changing when the war happened, so we'll see. I didn't actually play anymore manamon yesterday since I was feeling rather dead, and will hopefully get to today albeit today we're busy meeting one of my lady's friends and also going to see The Music Man at a local theatre, which should be good. It is a musical I've seen before and I remember it being rather fun.

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 @Dino, I love musicals and sing myself, indeed that is how my lady and I met, her being a classical soprano and myself a classical tenor and both of us fans of musicals, we've regularly done duettes from phantom and did one hand one heart from westside story at our wedding. We both go to the Aims international music school which happens each spring for a weekend and for a week in summer, which is awesome, the only difficulty is finding directors that don't automatically think "bugger off we can't have blind people on stage" which is sadly far more common than it should be. With games yes, unfortunately the spectacular sounding but short projects will always happen, however it's the solidly produced titles that work. Manamon impressed me for it's sounds and gameplay and the fact that someone has finally done something like this in audio, indeed I will say that over the 10 years I've been involved with audiogames things have expanded qu ite a deal, perhaps not as much as we would like but there is far more now and more by way of frequent releases than there used to be, at risk of sounding like an old fart "I can remember the days when we were lucky to get one game a month, and you young whippersnappers should get off my lawn!" . ACtually considering that games I could play visually pretty much stopped after the 16 bit era (and stopped entirely after the 32 bit era), it's good that more is being produced, albeit I still do love my Snes.Well I'm feeling slightly dead this morning which isn't good, though possibly being up until close to midnight playing manamon last night might have something to do with it .I will see about a city of mirrors review this morning I also need to at least vaguely think about getting some work done on my thesis at least before I pick up manamon again. I'm also reading a collection of nebular award winning sf, and there were some pretty good ones, bloodmusic by greg bear which he later expanded into a novel. I haven't read the algibreist, though the title rings a bell, is it also Banks? Look to windward is at least sort of partly the direct sequel to consider phlebas(the title comes from the same quote), or at least it mentions the Idiran war and deals with some consequences of it, though it doesn't involve horza or any of the other characters, I don't think Banks did that often, if at all. I really didn't like the way that the book just sort of petered out and even Horza's reuniting with his ex wife or partner just didn't hapen, while Yalson and pretty much everyone else just got randomly killed off. While I get that Banks was trying to show that the ho le "lone hero changing the course of the war" thing is a total falasy, at the same time he could've been at least a little less messy and left us with a better taste.I'll say roughly half of his books have dark endings from what I've gathered, albeit not quite as entirely pointless as phlebas, against a dark background did at least resolve the main plot of the story. I'm actually getting in a vaguely fantasy mood now. I am not sure if I want to reread some davideddings, who's an author I've not touched for about 15 years, (though i loved the belgariad as a teenager), or begin on feist who I understand is similarly fun but I've not really read before. I do rather want to redo eddings since I'm now myself married to an incredibly tiny lady who somewhat resembles a dryad, and I did used to have quite the crush on Ce'Nedra, albeit in personality my lady is quite a long way from Ce'nedra, and for the reccord s he really dislikes ce'nedra finding her quite a brat. I also do need to read and review some stuff, so I'll have a think and see, that if I don't get too destracted by raising my manamon again .

I also found the ending of Consider Phlebas infuriating and the last part of the book hard to follow.

I've picked up 'The Algebraist', so I'm looking forward to reading it. Maybe today...

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 Well several things to report. First and formost, my lady's spousal visa has indeed been granted, yay! this means she can indeed move to the Uk, which is good since the alternative was me emmigrating to the states which would've been problematic and rather complex, and goodness knows what I'd have done out here. So I've been having a few days off recently which is good, mostly alternating playing manamon, reading and writing book reviews. City of mirrors was indeed good though I found the epilogue rather disappointing, not that it had a bad ending, just a bit too draggy and introducing imho an unnecessary new character only a couple of hours before the end.Manamon is good but I'm finding the grinding to level different creatures, well rather dull considering I'd rather get on with the story itself, still I gather that is part of the game at least as far as it goes. Not a lot else to report other than yesterday we had the most amazing sto rm which my lady and I both enjoyed. i love seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder and the rain, we even went out and stood in it wearing, - mmm, not very much which was quite an experience.Whoever tells you the magic fades after marriage is a moron .

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 @Dino, a panel is an interesting idea, though it'd still have to happen at some sort of event with an interest in audiogames, and we've not seen any of those thus far. Usually the most that happens with audiogames is that someone produces and publicises the "inivative new project of games with sound and how this will change things in the future", which results usually in one or two very glitsy games with lots of prestige and coverage and usually extremely good sound effects, but not a long life. Such projects usually run out of steam until the next time. It happened with sound voyager back on the gameboy advanced a few years ago, and with various other projects, most recently somethinelse and then a blind legend, and it'll probably happen again, but until audiogames become a little better known I don't know how long it'll take for things to get off the ground outside the indi community, albeit said indi community has massively i ncreased over the past few years and what has been made both in volume and inn concept has generally been a build on what's been there before. In other matters, Consider Phlebas is good, though i disliked how incomplete and generally unsatisfying the ending was. That was sort of Bank's point of course, but it did make for an unsatisfying conclusion, plus I found the final third or so of the book a little draggy and lacking in direction, then again it was banks first sf novel and the first with The Culture. Look to Windward, which is sort of a sequel (or at least it mentions some events), was a generally better book I thought, though also pretty grim, however my two favourite culture novels thus far have been player of games and Invertions, though Invertions is a very different story being set entirely on a pre contact planet, it actually reads almost like a GEorge R R Martin style fantasy novel though we know that the "magic" is actually advan ced technology in this case.I need to read the rest of the culture books. City of Mirrors is absolutely awesome! I can't believe the climax. It's odd, it breaks a lot of rules from deus ex machina too last minute escapes, and yet it works amazingly well, and I can't explain it,. My reading has been slightly interupted both by playing manamon, and with a really nice evening yesterday going to a theatre that also serves food where we watched Mary poppins. The musical was actually fairly awesome, because it was a decidedly darker and distinctly more plot driven story than the disney film, albeit it did use the majority of the songs from the film though added some new ones. it even featured an evil nanny who Mary poppins had a duel with who had an amazingly nasty song about how she bought up children by force feeding them bad tasting medicine .

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 Maybe an audio game development conference wouldn't be possible, but if people with experience in audio game development banded together then maybe one could have a panel on the topic of audio games. It probably wouldn't be one of the huge ones, but I'm sure there's an indie development conference somewhere, and maybe one day it will happen. I've recently read Consider Phlebas by Ian M. Banks and I really quite enjoyed it. It's not like any other science fiction book I've ever read, and manages to have a main character who is an antihero that somehow you still want to root for, and some outright disturbing and yet highly interesting ideas. Oh, and I finally got a European charger cable for my 2ds! So I'll finally be able to finish Pokemon Omega Ruby.

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 Hi Ru. Interesting stuff and certainly something important to consider, indeed as you might guess I'm getting some personal experience of mariage from the western perspective right now . As far as I know, no,there haven't ever been any specific audio game development conferences. Remember most developers of audio games are fairly small companies, often one person working on their own or a small team of developers working on something experimental. Getting such people together for a conference would be difficult, indeed even the main conferences on game accessibility don't tend to consider purely audio games much and generally the most they do in the direction of game access reflects colour blindness, large print and the like. Then again, the fat cat coorporations are probably never going to particularly care about game access anyway, sin ce it doesn't increase the almighty prophet margin, and independent devs tend to be far nicer to deal with anyhow. Well things are surprisingly cheerful today, particularly since I've started Justin Cronin's city of Mirrors, the just released final volume in his passage trilogy. I'd recommend this series to anyone, certainly the best zombie appocalypse I've ever read, though calling them that does them something of a disservice given that Cronin is far more concerned with what lead up to the appocalypse, and then the world 90 to 100 years later when most of the books are set, rather than the usual "society breaks down, zombies munchy munchy" focus most authors have. BEautifully written, with amazing characterization and surprising twists, actually I intend to do a review of city of mirrors once I've finished assuming nobody beats me to it.I've also started trying Alter again and am finding it huge amounts of fun. The swamp was so much easier as a druid mage than as a clerric warrior, I was able to do in the priestesss, warrior, thief etc relatively easily and the nasty necromancer went down like a tonne of bricks . NExt is the tinker gnome colony which I remember being a bit of a pest to try and find all the quests in, though then again I was a little narked with Alter the last time I was there, so we'll try it this time and see how things go.Unfortunately I've got some actual work to do today, which is a miner pest, but at least there isn't a lot left on my thesis to do and later we've got pizza .

In terms of stuff, well still feeling minerly dead and trying not to worry too much about the visa application. I have now finished under the dome, which was great though i described it in the topic on steven king so won't repeat myself. Last night we went back to the wolf sanctuary, which was loely albeit I was a trifle disappointed they didn't howl at the moon. My wife and I are thinking of sponsoring one of the wolves, which would be fun. I also had my first experience of smores ver a campfire. Nice definitely but not something I'd want too often since yee gods, they're full of sugar. For those not in the states, smores involve roasted marshmallow, melted chocolate and things called gram crackers which to me tasted like digestive biscuits. Rather nice, if extremely messy and not something I'd want too often since i t's sugar city.

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 Well things have been a little flat since I got married, though that's to be expected. Part of this is all the stress of attempting to try and get all my lady's visa papers sorted out. I'm not exactly pleased with the immigration service here, basically the way it works is they demand! you send them a hole bunch of things, pay a stupidly huge amount of money, then you don't even see someone, heck, even their demands are fairly impersonal since it's physically impossible to speak to a human being on the subject.Our solicitor says the application is fine and he can't think of any reason it'd be rejected (which does bode well since he's a right stickler for etail), however I'd be happier if I was actually speaking to a human being rather than posting stuff into a post box to be returned to the uk, ironically being returned to Sheffield which is only about an hour from where my parents live (really we could've submit ted things in person before we left). Your even expected to print your own postage labels. So hopefully that will work out and be in today, then we need to wait. In other news, I'vebeen liking cosmic rage, albeit getting a bit hung up on a couple of issues, most recently boats since the commands to transport them are a right pest. I might go back to alter a bit later if I fancy some gaming, then again since I didn't exactly sleep last night I might well just crash as I'm feeling distinctly dead this morning, despite coffee (I'm probably going to go and have another cup). On the plus side, I'm now reading under the dome by STeven King which I have to say rocks! I'm absolutely devouring it in a surprisingly short time, and finding it very compelling, if rather nasty. It's odd, when Doctor Sleep came out in 13, I thought "Oh it's been years since I've read any king" and read doctor sle ep and misery (there's probably still a topic on the forum about it). then I utterly forgot and didn't read anymore king. A shame, since under the dome is proving awesome and I probably will do more King in the future a little more often as there is still a lot of his I haven't read.

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 @Nocturnus, actually my lady and I both hate shopping, so it usually is a matter of "how long can we put it off" up until "Well we can't go out for another! meal", then and then "how big an order can we make so that they deliver it in the van and we don't have to go shopping again" .Bits of wedding shopping, eg buying my lady's dress were rather fun, but that's definitey the exception rather than the rule.Indeed my lady has said my hatred of shopping is the one thing about me she doesn't particularly value, since as she hates shopping she'd have been better with a guy who enjoys it, of course I say the same with reversed gender . I've noticed lots of things in this part of the world are fried. I enjoy the hole chicken in crumb or whatever, but usually in the uk the things tend to be grilled or done in the oven which I think on the hole I prefe. Even the good old full English breakfast, what used to be called "A fry up" I tend to make on the george forman instead . @Phil, we've actually already been to new york. annoyingly we didn't really have time to do all the touristy things, though if we go back we'll keep your list in mind. Since my lady's sister (who has been very kind about letting my lady and I basically live with her for a couple of months), lives in Lebanon (the ttown not he country), which is about four hours drive from new York, when we saw the Lion king we basically got the bus down, went for grub, got a quick tour of time square, then saw the Lion King and came back. Very nice, if rather hechtic . This morning I got a lovely phone call from my parents, apparently the solicitor has changed his mind and doesn't! want electronic copies of all the documents we need for the visa, despite the huge amount of time we've spent running around getting the dam things scanned in. He's also made changes to the application form, which amusingly enough needs to be sent, along with both of our passpports from the us back to sheffield which is less than an hour from where my parents live in the Uk, and then back again, despite, you know us being there earlier this year and possibly going up the road rather than using stupid amounts of international shipping. Apparently though, you know just walking into the office and presenting things is not "the process!" and far be it from me to interfere with something so sacred . I actually confess t he application is a trifle stressful, particularly now that the wedding, ie, the nice bit is out of the way. Glad to hear the house is working Nocturnus. Goodness knows what my lady and I are going to do about living arrangements for the future. We've been okay in my one bedroom flat thus far, despite there being two of us and two dogs, but we really would like another room for storage if nothing else, though we're also afraid this will kick off the "I love you mum and dad but really don't want to live too close because you know I am actually an adult and married now" discussion, which is not exactly one I want to have, still, one thing at a time. Alien out of the shadows was good, and I actually liked how the characters work, some of the bits were down right creepy especially the way that there was almost an h2g2 style "thank you for visiting the bridge" computer voice which spoke up everytime someone entered or left a room, qui te amusing when said person was a slobbering acid blooded alien monstrosity! The one thing that I really didn't! like was the way tha ripley's memory got conveniently wiped at the end of the story. rEally, cop out or what! Hopefully today my lady and I can get a break, which means either trying out cosmic rage or fixing Jim Kitchin's games in the db if I have the energy, playing more alteraeon if I'm feeling less energetic, or just curling up and reading a bit more david brin, which my lady and I are reading together and which is proving really! amazing, actually getting me in the mood for a space game.

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 @Dark, Completely with you on the grilled rather than fried chicken. I can't stand the crunch, the grease, the taste more often than not; saturated fat fills me too quickly for some 30 minutes before I'm craving more, which means there is little substance in the stuff and it's going to kill me eventually.We've finally gotten all of our stuff into the new house and split on the apartment people. The only thing left is for them to send us the $600 check they owe us, though I confess I wouldn't be surprised if they threw some curveball nonsensical excuse in an atempt not to do so, which is why we documented thoroughly and took pictures of the place as meticulously as possible so as to fight this thing in case it does get nasty. We didn't leave it any worse off than it was when they leased it to us, but corporate ladders... Bla!At any rate, the house is magical... At least, that's what we tell ourselves, since the baby is now willing to sleep in her crib, on her own, with no one watching her, for 10 to 12 hours at a time! Hurrah! I get good sleep, too! Everyone left me at home today and went off to do this little thing I don't really care for much called shopping, where apparently one has to walk into a store, brows everything in it for at least half an hour before leaving it, act like you're probably going to buy something even if you don't buy anything, then proceed to another store, and on and on it goes, for at least five hours. I've seen them leave at 8 in the morning and come back at 2 in the afternoon, and they always come back with at least a little something, while I stay at home owing to my not liking aimlessly wandering around much. My shopping consists of going to Amazon and checking online prices, finding out they're too expensive, then going to a local store that sells whatever it is I want, getting in, getting the item, and getting out. Quick and simple! Don't bore me with the details! I have enough of that in my life already! :d URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=267150#p267150 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 @Tj and Socheat, thanks for that. This morning our solicitor was looking over the visa application before we put it into the relevant authorities. Getting all the documents together has been something of a nightmare and surprisingly stressful, indeed compared to the several meals at high end restaurants last night we all ended up with kfc just because we'd been running around so much, which was definitely worth trying, albeit I think I prefer my chicken grilled to fried. To my relief though, apparently the solicitor thinks eerything should go through okay, and since he's a major stickler for details and would pick up any possible loophole, that should work out. Really I dread! this not working since it'd be tragic to find the person I want to spend the rest of my life with for it to be utterly scuppered by burocracy. In other news, I've started Alien out of the shadows audio drama. It's fun, though a bit fan fictionish for my liking, particularly with the random return of Ash, the nasty android from the first alien film, and the fact that it takes place during Ripley's 57 years in hypersleep between Alien and Aliens. Some definitely nice bits and the hole grim industrial ethos of a few people stuck out on a really gritty ship with every cost cutting measure taken by a ruthless company so they have barely enough safety gear or protection when they run into said aliens, but I'm not really sure how it will tie in to the main story of the films. Much as Alien resurrection wasn't exactly the best film ever, I'm a little sorry they didn't just continue on from there rather than trying to thread things into continuity of the existing plot, still we'll see since I'm not quite halfway through it yet.

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 Well the wedding has happened, as has our short honymoon at hotel hersy. the wedding was lovely, including our own vows and singing, albeit we both cried a great deal, and to my relief the priest behaved himself and didn't start on a huge kick of "god made woman to help man" sort of rubbish, actually it was beautiful, from the carriage ride (indeed the several carriage rides, I think we made quite the spectacle of ourselves)to the reception, and of course our honymoon, which included a romance package complete with rose pettles on the bed, champaign, chocolates and strawberries, indeed we stayed at the hotel for a day longer than planned which was lovely, and had a fantastic meal on the verander, rather than being very decadent and using room service all! the time (though we did for several meals). The silly bit is when not busy, I did spend my time listening to terrahawks audios from big finish, which I began before the wedding as a way of calming down , and continued. So I can tell everyone I had a great honymoon with Zelda! which for those who know terrahawks is doubly funny given zelda is an intergalactic android space witch . I began the terrahawks audio because a friend of mine is a huge fan and I got them for him, though I'm a bit too old to remember the tv series from the eighties, but actually i really enjoyed them, aprticularly the incredibly epic ending which actually seemed to bring the hole thing to a surprisingly grim conclusion. My lady and I are now reading through The Uplift war by David Brin, which is definitely getting me in the mood for some awesome scifi games with aliens, spaceships and far floung battles across the void, so maybe I will try either promethius again or galactic rage if it is still going. Then again now it's tackling la visa, which is quite the painus in the anus, especially getting all the photos and things to my mum in time for her to sort things out. Oh well, judging by the wedding and honymoon it's well worth it, I've never felt like this, or could believe I had a soul mate halfway acrossthe world. Btw, again Audiogames.net is first on the top 25 list over at 7-128 software, hurrah!

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 Well Nocturnus, I'd definitely never tell peole about their kids unless I thought there was a really!major problem, and probably not then. Some of it might be more extreme due to the hole disability thing (people on average seem quite free to meddle in the lives of disabled people in general, especially around so called "normal" things), but to an extent all parents probably get something of the same thing. A good friend of mine who currently has an eighteen month year old child said she was most impressed that I was the one person she knew who didn't! try to give her pregnancy advice of the "sit down, don't lift that, don't drink that, drink more of this, eat more regularly" type variety. I simply went on the basis that she probably knew far more about being pregnant than I did so if she wanted or needed something she'd just ask, she told me that sort of attitude was amazingly! rare . She actually now has the same problem with her child, though perhaps less in terms of interference in terms of things like your cheatoes experience and other such disability practicality things. right now we're waiting for wedding guests, or at least my lady's friends who' she's going out with this evening, to arrive, hence why I'm not starting anything. With space mudsI've still not had the nurve to try miriani. Promethius I tried and liked as far as it went, but it struck me so much was built for people who actually knew and had already played either miriani or star conquest, I found a lot a bit impenitrable. For example no way to examine items in shops before buying to tell what they did, a random thing where you weren't allowed to speak without using one set item in a location etc. The activities I tried, namely salvaging and tr ash collecting were interesting enough as far as they went, but I didn't even see! anything to fight or any real reason to explore or the like, there were no missions, no quests, no clear objectives, or at least if there were I had no idea where to find them without spamming the channels with requests for advice. Star Conquest I liked much more in terms of feeling like it had a propper direction and actual activities, as well as a seemingly more coherent world, however the actual systems I just found frustrating, since after four hours of play I'd lost two spaceships due to spammy combat, lost my attack suit due to a misjudgement, couldn't take out a lone and was basically told "go beg from your alliance" which didn't help. the fact space combat seemed so ridiculously spammy it was literally impossible to react quickly enough was just plane annoying! I actually feel a bit sad about this. I loved the ethos, descriptions, quests etc with star conquest, even the need for an rp profile was okay, but why the hell is the game so bloody unforgiving? especially when the deaths were primarily due to spam. Sorry if that sounds like a winj but I don't like playing a great game for four solid hours and arriving worse off than when I started with literally no way to progress. Then again, all of this will have to wait a little sinse I'm a trifle busy this weekend and probably can't take on a new game, heck I've had to abandon popmundo though I might go and play some more alter to pass some time.

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 @Dark,If my past self met me by some fluke of time reversal, it'd tell me never to have children. Do you want to know what the hardest part of dealing with children is? Adults! Everyone and their stupid knows how to raise kids better than you, even if they're supposed to be your kids! How many people have I already had come up to me and ask me if I was a capable parent in any number of ways? Because I'm blind? Because I'm hearing impaired? Because it's my first time ever having to deal with a child 24/ 7? Because I'm not yet 30? Because I eat Flaming Hot Chetos and I might forget to wash my hands and rub the powder into the baby's eyes? I honestly don't know how many... I gave up counting before I got out of the hospital, right after she was born.And that's not even getting into the daily basis stuff. Baby wants to nap? Too bad; there's adults aroun d acting more like idiots than she is who just, can't get it through their skulls that the baby wants to nap. Make mention of it and it's, "Put her down, we don't mind, we'll just carry on our business and never mind if it's loud and she just can't get comfortable." Baby wants to crawl? Well, lets make sure there isn't any objects she can get hurt on around here we ourselves didn't leave on the ground. Baby wants to cry? "That's a no-no! You can't just let her do that! Look at her, her face is turning red from all that crying! You're abusive! Shame on you! How does it not bother you! You're going to get child protective services called in and they're going to take her away! Look, get her a bottle at least! Never mind that she spewed milk out a little less than ten minutes ago! She can't go on like that! It' ;s miserable!" If we continue on this collision course as we no doubt must, she'll end up like every other bratty kid I know because spoilage, and then, that's our fault, too!Ah well, nuff about my complaining. Having spent one week at an NFB center, I can honestly say I'd never want to go back for any extended amount of time. While all of them may not require that one follows precisely the same plan, I've heard enough stories from other people who have gone to them and have seen the way they themselves turned out to draw my final conclusions. Maybe you'll be forced to wear a blindfold, even if you're able to prove that you're totally blind. Maybe you'll be required to use a particular kind of cane, which I personally believe is so flimsy that all its good for is swinging around and making fun swooshing noises with. Maybe you'll board talking buses and travel to talking ATM's to dispose of whatever money you get there into talking automated self checkout stations at talking Walmarts, because that's like, all realistic in the real world that's actually real reality with realism. You'll cook on marked electric ovens and measure out with carefully selected tactle cups and spoons. You'll walk into a computer room where every machine has JAWS and at least one functional FS braille display. And you'll like it!The problem I have with cosmic Rage and games like it is how unoriginal they really are. This new one actually advertises itself as a Prometheus clone and does nothing to hide that fact whatsoever; even the alliance system is the same one Prom originally had, assuming it doesn't anymore. You're either Miriani, SC, or some crazy variation on all of that. I'd like to change that... Eventually.

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 Well, for my first few days of July, I’ve been trying and trying to get Linux on this old HP laptop. It has 2 gigs of Ram, an AMD processor, all that. I first tried USB booting sonar, but the thing wouldn’t boot into sonar no matter what I tried, which was change boot order with USB at the top, then changing USB ports. Then tried USB Vinux, but no luck there either. So now I’m looking for another DVD to try and install Vinux on, as the Sonar one just spun up, did a few clicks, spun down, then booted into the very slow Windows 8 that currently plagues this laptop. Ugh. Why must computers be so freaking hard to get to do what you want them to do? Why can’t they just freaking work? Uh.

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 I'll confess as I've said before, the hole Nfb "our way or else! we are your god! you must take all our classes to be successful and if your not it's your own fault" mentality has always been something I've been a bit wary of, though interestingly enough when I just asked my lady if she'd ever been involved with the Nfb what with her growing up in the states, her response was "Aren't they really weerd? They always seemed a bit nuts to me" Fare enough if people find it useful, though I have seen far too many blind people in the Uk literally harmed by the one size fits all "this is what blind people should be like" approach to think to much of it. I will say as I've said before culture in the states seems over all more extravert. In some sense this is good since I've noticed that the "wh! blind person" syndrome that occurs upon meeting anyone new is slightly less, equally however people do fail to understand that intravertion exists, indeed as I've said before one astounding fact about my lady and I is that we both have about the same intravertion quotient, (perhaps her more than me in some ways), so we're quite content to curl up together and read or discuss books or games or what not for long periods, indeed with wedding preparation being somewhat nuts, we basically spent all of yesterday just reading together, which was nice. Today is going to be hechtic, packing things for the wedding and sorting out music and what not, then my lady, her sister and several of her female friends are going out for a hen night at a very very nice Italian restaurant, since any of my friends (of both genders), who I'd be tempted to have a sort of pre-wedding thingy with are on the other side of the atlantic at the moment, I'll probably wait until we do a repeat performance of the wedding in the Uk for my own attempt at this.As to games, I loe the battle mode collection aspect of crazy party, though i'm interested to see what gets added in next version. I confess I actually find fighting random computer opponents one on one more fun than online multiplayer battles at the moment, though maybe that's because I haven't gatherecd enough cards of some of the more arsy types to form decs, or maybe it's because I just haven't spent enough time what with everything else. Cosmic rage is looking good, indeed as I said in the topic I'd love to find a decent space game, so I'll be keeping a watch on it, albeit probably not having much time to play for a while given everything else.@Nocturnus, yep, that sounds about usual for people with kidsies. For me, I've always found babies easy to deal with (I've had a puppy, the principle is the same, and animals tend to like me). The problem comes with the stage your getting into now, the not quite people, not quite animals phase. I always said if I ever had children i'd be quite happy looking after them for the first year or so, after which they would go in a box and be allowed out when they were rational, which could be anywhere between 10 or never . fortunately Kids are absolutely %100 not! happening for Mrs. Dark and I. This is partly due to biological reasons, but also partly due to the fact that neither of us is overly child orientated, though Mrs. Dark does think I'd have the potential to be a decent parent given the chance. Oh well, I'll have to channel my paternalistic impulses (if indeed I have any, I'm not convinced of this fact), into getting people to behave on the forum instead, now you young whipper snaps! be nice to each other or it's streight tobed with no muds! grump grump! .

Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 I feel as though I need to do this Crazy Party thing. Somehow I manage to procrastinate playing games, too. :-/The training is going fine. It was the national convention I was complaining about. And considering that it got better *checks time of last post* about three hours after I said that, I think I'm blaming the hotel's banana-nut pancakes for containing mind-altering levels of sugar.But no seriously I hate crowds and crowds plus unfamiliar reluctant environment is a recipe for nega-quitting.But I eventually found my way to sessions and exhibits that were actually worthwhile, and I managed to sleep/walk away the soul-crushing bloodsugar spike, and I sorta figured out the layout well enough and when people go where as to do a not quite 180... maybe 120? 135? ... it's better now.Training is ... I shouldn't say great, because I can see things I know Dark would complain about and I agree with them for the most part. But I walked a mil e last Saturday in search of a fastfood place that is totally not worth walking a mile in Louisiana on a sunny day in late June for, because I felt like it. I also don't like talking to strangers or asking for directions (It isn't that I have a rational problem with them, per se. It's more that I freak out for reasons mysterious and I don't like that feeling so avoid it as much as possible), and managed to find it without asking anyone but Siri... and Siri gave up half way there so I had to rely on my mysteriously perfect judgment of distance based on what she already told me.Ironically enough, I think the class that's going to kill me is technology. Essays and seeking out strangers and obtaining their contact information and blah. Can't you just teach me the spells you get when you put 58 skill points into Jaws? ... No? Ok.I didn't even get the name of the braille display that APH had at their exhibit. Was it Orbits? It's http://www.transformingbraille.org/ , so I guess so. I was pretty much sold after I pressed the panning button and saw that the refresh rate is reasonable enough for the majority of what I'd use it for. It's smaller than a Braille Light M20, IIRC, but still has 20 cells. True, 200 cells would be 10 times better, but the fact that it's cheaper than a laptop and only marginally slower than something from FS puts it on my Christmas list.Arqmeister wrote:I'm naturally a rather quiet and secluded guy, so that type of program doesn't sound like something i would get along well with at all.I get the feeling that I'm more quiet and secluded than you, but maybe I'm wrong? Anyway, I can tolerate it so far, but maybe that's just because a lot of the nothing that's happened in the past 10 years flipped something around . I should have done it 10 years ago... but I am almost certain I would have hated the atmosphere quite a lot and avoided everyone as much as possible. ... Although, from the outside, I'm not sure anyone could distinguish that from how I am doing things .Arqmeister wrote: I have heard that there ways of training are rather one size fits all and perhaps even a bit draconian. What are your thoughts?Yep! And what's more, my travel instructor is scarily good at picking up on subtle details and cheating on technique in his presence would be harder than just doing it his way.Until last week or so, I was pretty skeptical that the techniques they were teaching were especially useful, and the general inflexibility implied by how they talk about it fits the "One Size Fits All" reputation perf ectly. And there's this scary unstated expectation that "of course you're going to be involved with the NFB... you are already, right?"Yet somehow I manage to only grumble about these things in my head and in the monthly chat threads and extract what I can from it all. I think the philosophy (even though the way they go on about it is... well, it is) does create an atmosphere that I can use. And I don't really dislike anyone (ah... well, there's one person I hope never to have a conversation about anything important with, but dislike is a strong word) and feel like the benefits (so far!) outweigh the annoyances. And the annoyances aren't as pervasive as I was afraid they'd be. (Maybe if seminar was more than twice a week, I'd go crazy...er.)I also get the impression that long-time NFB students have complained about aspects of the training (I think my former roommate complained about woodshop being pointless at one point, and he's been doing NFB training since he was like 7 or 8).Ah... yeah. I sorta-kinda don't like comparing myself to people based on a few little details... but I noticed that my roommate would slide his hand across the wall on the way from the kitchen to his room, and when we went out to a chicken wings place that he likes (I have ne
Re: Monthly chat July 2016
Re: Monthly chat July 2016 Crazy party's battle mode has me currently atempting to unlock every card in the game before I take another breath, knowing that I'm not going to do it all in one go. Between that and moving, which is mostly done, save for all the stuff that needs unpacking and putting away and organized and reorganized and whatever, life continues to more or less revolve around a nearly seven month old drooling, screaming, spewing, burping bundle of arms and legs tied together seamlessly by shere madness, or maybe it's skin... I'm not sure anymore. She's hard to get to sleep when she's sleepy, hard to keep asleep when she's sleeping, hard to please when she's not, and all around and in between even when everything else is going alright. The reward, you ask? It's simple, she's a constant reminder to me that life itself is not, and has never been pointless, and how much change can occur in one's own when it is allowed.&n bsp; Besides, everyone else loves her, too, even the people who don't seem to like us very much. :dI haven't done much on the musical side lately; I strum my guitar and do a bit of improv on occasion to keep myself slightly entertained when I'm doing nothing else of value. I don't think I've played keys of any kind in at least a month, though that should be changing soonish owing to all the space I've acquired thanks to this new house. We're still talking about getting a dog, or a cat, or a pet dragon headed saber tooth sword tailed winged white weapon wielding... Something. Maybe I can convince someone out here to just build us an awesome automaton and we'll call it Auto. Of course, if I manage to do that, convincing to begin with, I'll also have to convince my wife to get to sleep at night. Hmmm, at some point I need to call my mommy, I guess; it's been a week since we've conversed about any thing and, given that she can't be bothered calling me for whatever reason known best to her which is probably tied to holding it over one's head that calls are withheld or not made and neglected, which makes a lot of sense because she's older than I am, um, yeah.

I have heard that there ways of training are rather one size fits all and perhaps even a bit draconian. What are your thoughts?

I really, really hope the training makes a lasting difference and this week is just the part where it comes with a genuine cost. Well, if it stops being awful at some point, that'd be great, too, but I'm not counting on it.
