I’ve been using it. Biggest issue is microphone recording. They did a hot fix for it just not recording your mic. But now that it works, it cuts out, which seems to be common. I may need to tweak my steam voice settings but they looked fine to me. Everything else about it is pretty great so far.

Good

Unfortunately, “decorum” is really the only thing keeping some folks from hopping on board those movements, not the policies themselves.

There is a difference between owning guns and being an ammosexual. Let them continue not understanding that. Fine by me.

I don’t, but it sounds exactly like every other time this exact thing happens.

Timely. A petty occurrence happens to have just taken place on the Discord server for Helldivers 2.

The game has been struggling with player capacity in the face of unexpected popularity, leading to many server issues and player inability to play the game. Due to modern shitty info siloing, Discord is the place to be for the best updates, so players flock there for news.

On Tuesday, Steam had server issues that affected things just like the normal games issues, so players poured in to the server to see what was up. When people realized it was steam and not the game, a handful (let’s say 100 to be overly generous) users started spamming F in the chat for Steam servers.

The Streisand incident: a discord mod then proceeds to ping mention everyone, all 170,000 users, to stop spamming F or get a timeout and a ban.

What netizen in their right mind sees that going any other way but exponentially increasing the F spam? Internet going to internet. Especially when they can’t play damn games.

So this lead to a total server lockdown, even for innocents just trying to play and talk about the game. All because some, presumably young and objectively inexperienced mod decided to pour gasoline on a campfire.

I know this against my will and now you do too.

Without the loaded malice of some of these comments, sincerely, I forgot beehaw existed. It looked like the place to go during the migration and was constantly getting good word of mouth on all the Reddit move channels. Then the barrier to entry went up with the essay application, which was 100% fine as a decision, but obviously made it a hassle for the masses trying to find a home. Couple that with no open community creation, leaving no landing spot for niche communities and I went elsewhere.

But even after taking a shotgun approach and making accounts on multiple instances when stability and federation was still struggling, beehaw started defederating from everything. Again, 100% your decision. But the reasons were often blatantly showing that beehaw was not willing to engage in the learning process of this new interface with the rest of us.

So, again no malice, I literally forgot beehaw existed till seeing this post. So if your admins and users think you can achieve whatever elsewhere, I don’t see why you shouldn’t.

My brother or sister in pixels, this is not the same. I’m not a graphics snob. I still play pixelated, barely discernible nonsense games. When I updated from 30 to 144, it was a whole new world. Now even 60 can feel sluggish. This is not a graphical fidelity argument. It’s input and response time and motion perception. Open your mind, man. Accept the frames.

It’s a mystical feeling to be uncertain whether or not Kirk’s face has been shrunken with photoshop.

Shut up baby, I know it.

Goes over a lot better after showing the wife the episode

Jury nullification is better. “Yeah, they did it, but we don’t see it as a crime”
