Comment on Helldivers 2 – Galactic Offensive | Trailer in ~games
tape Link ParentI see. It does but you have to not be moving at all and then there's some bullshit artificial "gear shift delay" added on top. This is the future, not world war 1. It might as well not turn still.I see. It does but you have to not be moving at all and then there's some bullshit artificial "gear shift delay" added on top. This is the future, not world war 1.

I was totally fine with the barrel being locked in a mostly forward direction until I got in it and it somehow can't turn without going forward and has a worse turning radius than the car. Have they never seen a tank move before?

tape LinkI've been doing exactly this for my whole life, two servers currently running, and I've never had an issue.I miss being able to put a lightly authenticated game server up and not worry too much at night – wondering if that process is now mining bitcoin. I miss being able to run a server in my home closet.

We consistently didn't get notifications on mobile which was a deal breaker for a communications app. And the self-hosting of it was not good and we couldn't get it to work at the time. Again I assume that is hopefully better. For sure may be something to look into.

One general yapping group chat (with some other members in it), one for the main software product we maintain, and a third for video game related yapping. It works great. Voice calls / screen shares seem to always work. Much better than skype used to.

Not thrilled if they do, but I suppose it is inevitable. Hopefully they're slow with the enshittification because teamspeak v5/v6 doesn't have server files yet because its super beta.
I hate how comfortable discord is too, it provides an unrivaled experience. I sit every day in vc with friends just streaming whatever I'm playing, or sometimes watch podcasts with my brother. It's going to be a great loss if/when it really does kill itself. So many communities use it for everything. I've been paying for nitro for some time to hope I could help scare this end off, but it's got way too many users for me to even make a dent.

Yep. My friend group has been on discord since 2016 and I believe after I made the memes channel not 18+ we should be fine. I canceled my nitro because I don't support the path discord is headed down and I'll be looking for alternatives as time goes on but there's seemingly no rush because it won't effect me much. I quit paying for nitro yearly last year when they switched ceo's and the started IPO rumors started. If something gets in my way, I am definitely going to try garrys mod or vrchat as the face bypass, and I bet you could easily AI generate a drivers license that the software would believe.
