Its great and runs fantastic on Bazzite.

I mean when even matrix biggest advocate lashman didnt join I dont think matrix is a viable alternative to discord, so the search continues

Honestly, I've used matrix in a professional capacity for about a year now and it's actually very good as far as these things go.

The only other alternative I've tried (that is an actual alternative, i.e. you can self-host it) is Rocket Chat, and it's way worse on pretty much every level.

I'm currently eyeballing Stoat, but I'm waiting to see where the winds blow before making any jumps to other platforms

Just played the tutorial and my first run, and i can tell this is going to be THE GOATED Roguelike since Slay the Spire.
2500 Episodes of Northernlion LP's incoming.

Also, entirely unexpected but the Soundtrack is incredible, like holy shit, almost feels like a Super Giant game.

Yeah you are right the music is fantastic!

Yeah from what Ive seen it seems pretty nice! I was mostly just reflecting on that there seemed to be zero interest in having a MC matrix

so how many months before consoles and steam are also asking for real id?

i don't have anything to nice to say about the state of society that led us here without sounding like a really toxic asshole. but man i really hate that modern society is built around coddling the stupid and lazy among us.

It's inevitable that Steam will ask for my ID to prove I'm over 18 when my account is 20 years old

I bought Relooted and Princess Farmer today. I'm holding off on Mewgenics since it's turn based. I'll be getting Rogue Point and Killer Inn on Thursday.

Got Relooted too! Seems pretty fun, perfect game to unwind with between me playing Pathfinder and Mewgenics

It's almost Isaac numbers, but I think it will reach them and probably more?

With all the Discord fuckery happening, Im curious if Valve plans to do something, give people an alternative.

That does indeed look like minecraft

Steam Chat could absolutely replace Discord if folks actually wanted it. It is crazy how Discord-like it has quietly become over the years. It just needs a few tweaks and it would cover the majority of what folks use Discord for.

That said, I never see it happening as I think Steam missed the window.

And if it somehow did happen, Valve would be pressured to follow suit like Discord at some point sooner rather than later.

Valve does not want Steam to be known as a groomer platform and have even more regulator eyes on it. They'll be perfectly happy with Steam's barebones chat features.

With the weekend over, Nioh 3 confirms its place at the top of Koei's CCU ranks. Once again, this confirms day 1 releases always help on Steam, and also proves Koei is succesfully growing an audience there

After two years of creating characters in Diablo 4, getting distracted by real world stuff, and then restarting with new characters to refresh my memory of the story, I finally beat the main campaign and working through the first expansion. I should be done with the expansion story before the next season and expansion launches. It's really fun and the world is big.

Yeah I’m sure Valve has the talent to pretty easily match Discord’s features but I have my doubts they want to.

Ooo, I can get the deluxe edition of Marathon for $48 on GMG. I'll wait till next week.

"what are we gonna use as alternative to discord"

...but just to stay in topic, Mewgenics is mad fun
