Just curious, how do you fly?
Orinks [OP] 1 points 6y ago
With Flight Simulator X and a software addon called Its your Plane.

Subscribed to watch later. Flight Simulator is a thing I want to explore. I just need to get my hands on a second-hand edition on DVD, because I won't install steam under any circumstances.
Orinks [OP] 1 points 6y ago
Will you not install Steam just because of the horrible interface? I'll give it that, it sucks, but I don't have a DVD drive to install apps from anymore, so I've got no choice.

fastfinge 1 points 6y ago
Yup. I also feel like they care so little about making Steam accessible, that any update could come at some point in the future, and bang! None of the work-arounds for screen readers work anymore. And then you lose all the games you bought. I'm not willing to risk that, until Valve shows even the tiniest concern for making sure I won't just lose my entire investment into my Steam games one day, by making even the smallest access improvement. I have an external DVD drive, so I can install stuff fine.

If I ever get a bunch of money to spend on gaming, my next investment will be in an XBox. The recent announcements seem to show that Microsoft does care about us. So even if game developers don't, at least I'll be able to, you know, launch the games I've previously purchased.

Well, at least you have a valid point. I plan on getting an XBox One in the future as well, pretty soon.

I wonder if they're going to bring the XBox TTS API over to Windows? That way, a dev could put a game on XBox, and in the Microsoft Store, and be accessible on two platforms for the same amount of work. Hey, I can dream.

Your videos are really long

Indeed they are, as are the flights.
