I do once in a blue moon.

Morrowind, if you’re using OpenMW, also has multiplayer.

Gee, if only we could’ve seen this coming.

No, like a legit game engine that is advertised as “console ready”.

Well, you’ll be glad to hear that Toyota, yes, that Toyota, announced a new open source game engine, with deep integration of Blender 3D.

Obviously. And it’ll be just as broken. Show it’s technical age even more.

Are we surprised?

Stoat has no voice chat and streaming.

The problem with decentralised alternatives to Discord isn’t just the set up time.

Me and some of my friend group are pretty technical and we’re willing to jump through all the hoops and difficulties to make our own little cluster of federated self-hosted servers.

The problems start occurring when we actually look at what these open source alternatives are actually capable of. And… Uh… It looks bad. Voice chatting and streaming and text channels on the same client are an absolute must.

I mean… It seems 404 Media explicitly asked Grok about inserting food up your rectum.

America has no concept of “radical left”. I can suggest something mild and end up being called a communist.

Self-serving, and ultimately self-destructive.

I prefer quality over quantity. Problem is we don’t have quality, even for games that take a long time.

Alright. But how do we stop the AI spyware from constantly monitoring our activity?

Might not be an issue for me since I’m using the flatpak of Vesktop, but getting all my none-technical friends to move away from Discord will be pain.

You have ads?

Not even push to talk!? What the fuq?

No! How dare they add useful features! Why won’t give they give MY shitty online game store a chance by not providing customers with useful tools!? This is so unfair! I gotta sue them!

Yeah, so, “most users” won’t have to post video selfies or their ID, but you’ll still have to accept active spyware feeding information to an AI model that checks all your activity.

This is still equally as bad.

Have you considered self hosting Matrix?

But… But… They pinky promise it’s all secure, and that they won’t hold any of your data! You can’t trust a pinky promise? You monster!
