Huh? I was just curious, because it’s quite different if they used this as their main-channel. Using WhatsApp for that would be crazy.

Was this their main channel of communication or just a group they had for supporters?

I get that. It’s awesome you are open to it now.

I’ve made some good friends on dbd and it’s nice to be able to speak to them, I think maybe the game could benefit from a mode with voice enabled, so there’s at least the option. But maybe that would fragment the playerbase a bit or eventually turn the game more toxic. It would be hilarious though if the survivors and killers had proximity voice, thats something I would love to try!

Should be obvious, why do we have to mark sarcasm these days?

I think you can enable it as the default mode and then it will load the game quicker? Definitely checkout Unciv though if you haven’t already!

You can play Unciv I guess, I don’t see why you would want a strategic view only though? Nothing stopping you just using that mode exclusively yourself.

I see that and it certainly takes that initial worry out, but DBD isn’t that competitive, so there would be no pressure to talk really even if it did exist (different for each person I guess, how they feel about that). It’s a more chill game and the community in my experience is a lot more open-minded than your hyper-competitive games like CS where you find all the degenerates, I think that’s why its mostly more welcoming.

Text-chat has been way more toxic in my experience anyway. Usually they stop talking on the mic and start typing.

Nah, 5 is still the goat.

It’s not a voice chat problem, you can always turn voice/text chat off. That’s not the reason some games have a relatively higher percentage of women.

Steam (and PC in general) just lends itself to indie games more, which is good. It could do better, but overall there’s a lot of great games that get the recognition they deserve. Triple A finds most of it’s success on consoles, where they can easily market it on the front page of the console, rather than just on the store.

But PC is (unfortunately?) really getting mainstream now, so we are starting to see a lot morals thrown out the window by consumers just to play the latest AAA slop too.

They need dlss otherwise the triple a games they love so much wont reach 30fps!!

The main dev is pro-russia.

I think they would implode if we went back to signing up to multiple different forums. The internet is just a vastly different place than it was 20 years ago. It’s very consolidated now and that sucks.

Dont use brave, use uBlock Origin and Firefox.

Or FreeTube on Desktop.

For mobile, NewPipe or one of its forks, e.g. PipePipe for SponsorBlock too.

I think the Steam Deck showed that people don’t really need top of the line graphics to have fun. It’s just the marketing of triple A games that push graphics graphics graphics and Nvidia want you buying a GPU every year so have their hand in that too. FSR shouldn’t even be in the discussion.

An affordable Steam Machine would go a long way to replacing traditional consoles, with Proton running most games now, I see a lot of people enjoying a device like this. There could always be more powerful options later. This is all speculation though, we don’t really know what Valve is doing and this could just be experimentation towards a new Steam Deck.

Because they have to protect the children!! Oh why won’t anyone think of the children?!

And remained on a blacklist anyway.

I find when using Mullvad a lot of sites are blocked vs other VPNs. Are all their IPs on a blacklist somewhere?

Or we could just make satellite phone service more accessible? Without the need for thousands of pieces of space trash put into LEO? Nobody needs tiktok when they are climbing a mountain in a remote area.
