Fiivemacs, do gaming w Discord confirms it's moving toward 'becoming a public company' as it hires a former Activision executive as its new CEO

Sounds like a good time to reinstall ventrilo

Boomkop3,

Adding that to my list, I was looking at element (matrix), revolt and fosscord

otter,

I assume that one was a joke, Ventrilo looks very out of date

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventrilo

Revolt is nice though. Once they finish upgrading the app, it would be an easy switch

I didn’t know about Fosscord (now called Spacebar it seems), it looks cool github.com/spacebarchat

Spacebar is a free, opensource selfhostable discord-compatible chat, voice and video platform.

  • Discord-compatible (Use all your custom clients/bots with minimal changes)
  • Selfhostable (Server)
  • Open Source (GitHub Organization)
  • Configurable (Configure every aspect and limits to your needs)
  • Decentralized (no abuse of power and doesn’t have a single point of failure)
  • Extendable (secure and cross-platform plugin system)
  • Themeable (cross-platform theme system with design editor)
  • Secure (publicly audited and hosted FOSS software for transparent foundation in terms of security)

Spacebar looks to be exactly what I’ve been looking for! Unfortunately, according to their FAQ the voice and video features aren’t implemented yet but here’s hoping that someone comes on-board to help set it up 🤞definitely an easy decision for a self hosted Discord alternative if that comes to fruition!

Ventrilo is what everyone used like 20 years ago it’s the OG of course it’s outdated

Fosscord changed to “spacebar” a while back. If you want a more Discord-like experience, try the Cinny or Comet Matrix client. And on mobile the SchildiNext Chat client. Although I really can’t recommend Matrix as a replacement at all.

Boomkop3,

I just want an experience my friends aren’t too stumped by. I’ll give them a look! Thank you!

Matrix authentication process is confusing and annoying. If your friends aren’t technical, they’re going to have a bad time.

Boomkop3,

Ye, it is. I liked it but I don’t think many will. A non-paranoid mode or service for matrix would be nice

millie,

Do those have push to talk?

Uhhhh I’m not sure, I only use the text functions

Mumble is where it’s at.

Badabinski,

"Get off vent, or I'll have you bent."

I wish those stupid videos weren't the first thing my brain goes for when I see the word "Ventrilo."

Fiivemacs,

I immediately go to vent pranks from like 17 years ago where they recorded people’s voices in public chats, then played it back to them and cause some amazing confusion

‘found a ring in there last night…dropped your pants?’

This game was dumb in all the best ways, my cousin and I still quote this game all the time lol

It’s cool to see things get to stick around. I felt the same with APB from Little Orbit. It’s just cool to see games still exist.

Fingers crossed that Rift gets a similar revival… the game whose initial success paid for Defiance in the first place

and I’ve got my fingers tightly crossed that the new owners will be able to keep it running long into its twilight years—even if they’ve got little planned in the way of fresh content

The Borderlands games made billions of dollars, and no one needs to keep them running.

There are a few reviews talking about data harvesting clauses in the EULA. I haven’t looked into it but might be worth double checking if that concerns you.

TurboHarbinger, do games w Tempest Rising accidentally launched a week early on Steam, and the publisher has decided to just go with it

I been playing for at least 6h, gameplay is identical to C&C games, very fun and nostalgic to play.

Beyond that story is meh ATM. Cutscenes feel boring and skipable. VA directions are non existent. I wouldn’t be surprised if its revealed later that all of it is AI voices.

Also no controller support, so you’ll need to configure keybinds if you want to play it on the steam deck.

Well most of the reviews says positive about this game and we lack scifi based RTS game with distinctive mechanism like this in many years that is why this release this should needs some love and by the way, I hope in the future they considered putting a charismatic leader with distinctive trait in one of the faction with eye-catching catchphrase as well. that will be awesome

It’s very c&c, only done few missions but definitely good first impressions. Feels like what cnc 4 should’ve been and not that moba hybrid abomination.

Never heard of it

dependencyinjection,

I’m extremely thankful for this information.

Correct reaction, good on them.

I’m happy to see a new rts actually getting a good reception. Sometimes it seems the genre is cursed.

Its pretty much exactly like command & conquer, but its modern, so fun to play.

Damage,

Set in 1997 in the wake of World War 3, the world has become afflicted by a strange new growth called Tempest, a russet, flowery structure that looks like a plant but isn’t. Tempest is hazardous to human health and spreads rapaciously, but it’s also an abundant energy resource. This makes it the primary catalyst of a war between Earth’s two dominant factions, the Global Defence Force (GDF) and the Tempest Dynasty.

You weren’t kidding, lol.
Good anyway, someone has to make good C&C games, and sure as hell it ain’t gonna be EA.
