This is just my opinion, which I concider to be just plain healthy open-mindedness...

I think you can put basically anything into your game, as long as it's within the law of wherever the server hosting the file is located, and you can put it on the Games page as long as it's not crossing any rules CJ has defined for adding the game to the page. It's the players call wether to play it or not.

If I come across offending contents, I don't play the game if said offending contents repulses me from it with other elements failing to keep me hooked on. And if reviewing, I'd state it as my personal opinion that the game has contents I do not like.

The only offending contents I can right now think of actually finding offending is putting down visually impaired or otherwise handicapped people, or any other often attacked minority in an humiliating manner while attacking the minority. They're all human beings after all, and have equal rights to everything just like "normal" people. Sure, you can have a laugh at them, as long as you keep them as humans.

You sure look like your avatar Voh...

I think it's vice versa. :P

I admit nothing!

Reason rewired into Adobe Audition makes a perfect suite; Audition can record any real instruments, with the Reason tracks played simultanously automatically, and should you need to EQ anything it's all in Audition. As for splicing, just exporting the track to Audition from Reason and doing whatever you want with it there. It's different, sure, but as efficient as anything.

The only things I've been using are Reason and my mouse and computer keyboard, unless I've needed second-exact timing in which case I've rewired it through Audition... I don't see what's not standalone in that.

At least, it gives us the ability to be The People Who Discovered It Before It Got Popular.

What do you mean "us"?
#307
I use Reason, occasionally ReWired through Audition. And I'm not going anywhere from it. Just hoping to get a keyboard soon to speed up my composing.

For making Midi I use Guitar Pro, since I'm a guitar player mainly.

Actually, a braille typewriter has seven keys... You forgot the line break :=
#309
..and I've tried to tell you they interpret the part of whatever's offered to them they can. The rest they ignore, and the best way to convey things so it's most interpreable to them is to deliver the information based on non-visual detail; yet visual detail doesn't hurt. Imagine it as reading a book. The blind people I know read somewhat a lot, and they don't have books written for them specifically.

And about writing a book in Braille... Braille is not a language, it's a typeface. You could write a book in braille, and for a person trained in writing it'd be about as fast as with a normal typewriter. Just a hell of a lot noisier, if writing on paper. :P

Rui, a blind person still wouldn't take offense of it in any way if you told them there is a white house in the field, even if they wouldn't know what white is. You're clinging to insignificant detail here, as the main point is "by what method" and not "in what form", as far as I understood.

And I still say text output for a screen reader. And as for navigating, for example the page up and page down keys browsing through hotspots (no arrow keys here, as they're used to navigate within the text) and maybe enter or space opening a menu for the possible actions, etc.  Have the whole thing toggleable in the options, and maybe wipe off all other graphics than text when it's on so seeing people can't cheat with it :P

As I said, smooth, cold, round, heavy object instead of metal ball.

QuoteI am bureaucrately 88% blind, mind you.

That helps. But you still know what "white" is. You still have visual references.

Blind at birth people are taught to ignore such detail, I suppose. No-one's ever snapped when being told what colour something is that I've seen or heard of.
#313
Being blind doesn't make you stupid. If you tell a blind person there's a house in the middle of a field they know what you mean. But if you want to have the game to be percievable to a blind person as a blind person in the game you'll need to have the descriptions in the format of "You feel a round, cold, smooth object" instead of "You see a metal ball". And this, in my opinion would be the correct way to go. You have eyelids, you can close them. You have a brain, you can exclude purely visual detail from the descriptions.

I am bureaucrately 88% blind, mind you.

Anyome out there who can stay on topic  thanks both posts have been reported

Ishmael, do you have a spare sense of humour on supply?

Sorry, out of stock. :\
#315
Blind people can look just aswell. Just not with their eyes.
#316
Oh, I see what you mean... Going through the left banner to the Games page and on from there to the About page shows 7DaS and ToaK. How strange, as the address is redirected correctly. ..or does it?

For everybody's convenience, here's a supply of spare punctuation and other goods if anyone happens to have run out of their own stash.

Out of Ts at the moment, sorry for the inconvenience.
#318
The top banner works just fine for me... There's something overly fishy going on with your caching settings I'd say.
#319
On intuition I'd have suggested Death Gate but I think that was released earlier.

Quote from: Pumaman on Thu 20/09/2007 20:58:01Stuff like draggable/dockable windows and customizable toolbars are things that take quite a while to implement compared to the benefit that they offer, so I can't really see the point at the moment. However, since some people seem to feel strongly about having it on the left, I'll see if I can add a Preferences option.

That would be very enough to have at hand :)
