Yes, clearly a bunch of underscores and periods are much easier unique identifiers than four numbers in a row. Thanks, Discord!

Who gives a fuck? Seriously. 

“Because all it will take is Markiplier saying “Oh hey, I’m Markiplier, you may have heard of me, here’s proof” for Discord to be “Oh, ok” and just assign him the account name and then slap the person who tried to use it instead.”

But that doesn’t change the point that it’s a change going to a bad system. If you have to make many specific exceptions to your system in order for it to be functional, then it’s a bad system.

You should write an article about how Relic Entertainment cant release or do anything without their players eating them alive.

Is kotaku her PR agent these days? Amazing amount of coverage

Yo, we as a community here have *got* to stop interacting with the most bad faith, inflammatory people here. People keep giving them the attention they want and they are consistently at the top of every single article anymore and it fucking sucks. Any sort of discussion in the comments is immediately overtaken by…

I’m glad Kotaku, a gaming site, is always ready willing and able to promote this one particular Twitch streamer who absolutely does not need promoting and who’s primary draw is certainly not gaming.

Cause it was “Vi sitter här i Venten och spelar lite Dota”, you’re thinkin the later line.. “Det är det enda ni gör på dagarna, ni sitter i där Ventrilo och spelar Dota”

It’s probably the chat app with the fewer barriers of entry for screen sharing and video conferencing (along with a few text channels) that I know of.

Idk, I think it’s really easy and straightforward. Though maybe that’s because all the people I talk to use discord, so I’m not constantly jumping back and fourth between multiple apps/websites.

If Nintendo still somehow gets away with Friend Codes, Discord can keep using the discriminators. If someone wants to add you badly enough and you want to let them, it’ll happen. It’s not that hard.

There was a joke in my friends group about a decade ago, about taking Gundam anime, and just adding the Ventrilo push to talk sound to conversations taking place between mech pilots in different mechs.

I had to Google the name Ventrilo, because it had lapsed entirely from my brain by this point.

Again, like I said, wait for a few third party reviews. Movie trailers can also be incredibly deceiving. 

In what way do people have “no reason to complain” about being sold an unfinished game?

This tracks with what I have read from other developers that have been acquired by Microsoft. Microsoft wants to take a more hands off approach. I wish I could remember what dev it was but I recall an interview this yeah with someone saying they wish MS came in harder to help clean up some management issues. To take a…

I mean, should we get a refund for every movie we see that sucked, and the studio knew it sucked? It’s not like it outright doesn’t function, I have 6 hours in it, and it’s not a lot more glitchy than most AAA games at launch, it’s just a bad game. These days, people are nuts to spend 70 bucks on a game without…

And let’s be real: it was the acting that saved Wednesday. The writing, the whole arc for the season, was warmed over Harry Potter with some token queerbaiting for topicality (I’m still angry at how they misuse the concept of conversion therapy in a subplot). What made it all tolerable was the cast - Ortega, Emma…

She’s been a working actor since she was 3, and explained to the director and the script supervisor why she was changing the lines. When does she earn that right?

It’s the Crusader Kings board game.
