Re: [Audyssey] Will the real Audyssey Mod please stand up. I repeat, will the real Audyssey Mod please stand up.
I understand tom, its a bad habbit of mine to get carried away and not construct my messages as properly as I probably should. For example, I have some issues with the fact the audiogames industry is not spread out to other organisations for the disabled at least what I have seen on the limited number of sites for the blind orgs and some others I look at. I understand the asabat stuff is probably for children, but it really gets my goat when a page for an organisation puts a children's game or whatever as the only game a blind person can play. Especially since I know better and have played better. I did play some of the asabat games and found at least for me that they didn't even meet the standard for some of jim kitchens games. Granted if used for a child I can see it working. Early last year I was involved in the predesign stages for a school laptop system for my local blind education instatute. Naturally all games with violence needed to be weeded. and also the games would need to be free or near free since this was for children with no cash as such to buy them being of a low echonomic family sector. I needed to put out a few things. Free games I came up with included jim kitchens games. excluding all adult games and maybe the casino. the quentin c and rsgames clients. adventure at c. a couple game book websites. I think final conflict and trek2000. Most of the l-works free games as well as the danzgames and at that time the pb games stuff. I guess asabat and 7128 if I had put demos on and lonewolf would have been good to. as well as decent into madness, last crusade and the sonic zoom games. Now I think of it, most of the vipgameszone stuff would work to. I do realise that a lot of organisations just don't think of blind games officially and thats sad but I understand. Most of the stuff for the blind is business orientated and thats fine. Is there any way to try to get ourselves out there. I just don't think that using 1 company to represent blind gaming period is a good thing. Now, if I were to choose. I'd go for either pcs, gma or kitchensinc because they were there from the beginning. Or I'd go for audiogames.net as the one to watch if I could only have one. Audiogames.net has been a major driving force. I realise that not all companies can be listed, but it would be nice if more organisations sold blind games from as many companies as possible and not just one company for children's games. I do understand that most games at least with my local org were for children initially but still I do wander why no one has seriously conciddered at least investigating if not out right trying to at least have more for sale other places. Another frustration is that all games seem to be in europe or the us, its almost like no one else is interested in games. granted a few more places are not mentioned on my list, but largely I have seen games come in us prices. I was hoping I could get games closer to home. Spoonbil is in australia, but I do wander is the interest in developing blind games limited to sertain parts of the world where there are bigger concentrations of blind or what. Its a musing and I don't expect an answer to this.

Hi scot and all. Firstly a clarification on my message. 1. I was refering to how some sighted unfortunately may treat us, yes I know its a stereotype that because some believe sighted people that is that we are helpless even when it may not be the case I may maybe others may think the same stereotype about the sighted though that is getting less and less the case. My third statement was more if we got sued for copywrite over using copywrited materials, and an inability to probably fund any suits should we loose never mind other things related, since we are disabled we have harder time getting jobs generally though this is not always the case, it is if you like a pet fear of being stuck in a corner.

It blows my mind that people here care about capitalisation to the point of entire threads existing about it, but this gets glossed over. This isn't a case of "if you don't like it, delete it and move on", these are routine derogatory posts that are being archived for the whole world to see, and whether you like it or not, they are portraying us as a group.

Hello Scott, For your information the individual you are complaining about has already been dealt with, and he will not be returning to this list as a full member for the foreseeable future. As for justification keep in mind there is only one moderator and that is me. Damien left some months ago and I have never gotten around to replacing him. My personal life is in dire straights right now so this list, while important to me, is pretty low on the things to worry about. If you want to be a list moderator go ahead and make my day.

[Audyssey] Will the real Audyssey Mod please stand up. I repeat, will the real Audyssey Mod please stand up.
I'd just like to take a moment to draw attention to a couple of key phrases from Sean's most recent splurge of wisdom 1. At any rate we don't want the poor, super mentally mangled blind as the image for the magazine. 2. My suspician is the poor blind, super blind, mental blind, and stupid dumb helpless blind nut which has been growing thicker and thicker may be a quite hard nut to crack and will need a godly sized hammer to smash if it can ever be smashed. 3. However the disabled really have no resources thats why we are disabled, most of the cash a lot of us get is from normals so normals will need to be targeted and normals are not us. They don't think like us and sertainly they have no idea what it is like to be us. Moderators: please explain why your attention has been drawn to variations of this time and again, yet blatantly offensive posts like this are still making it into my inbox? While you're at it, I'd enjoy reading your justification for why these posts aren't already being held for moderation. Isn't that what you're here for? It blows my mind that people here care about capitalisation to the point of entire threads existing about it, but this gets glossed over. This isn't a case of "if you don't like it, delete it and move on", these are routine derogatory posts that are being archived for the whole world to see, and whether you like it or not, they are portraying us as a group. I realise that good netiquette would've been to write to the mods privately, but honestly, at this point I think it's more important that a public record of someone trying to do something about this exists.
