If you have a lot of DRM free games and want to have your own backup copies and be able to easily share them with your household, this does that. It isn’t for hosting games you buy through Steam or other DRM-protected platforms. It’s for giving you an interface to easily search and download your own library of games that you could get from a bunch of different sources, so you don’t have to go look up your credentials that you used to buy the game to re download it.

Ah, yeah, this one is a very silly, chaotic, and fast paced shooter, so maybe not great coming from Arma :D

The Finals does have private game servers, but not dedicated servers. It’s definitely lame that they don’t include them.

It’s honestly a great game. Fantastic movement, gunplay, and level destruction paired with unique game modes. I haven’t enjoyed a shooter this much in literal decades.

It’s free to play, which does come with it’s own hurdles. If there are enough cheaters, it really does make the game miserable to play. And then people who are just very good start getting constantly accused of hacking…

That said, you can’t stop all cheating, and the kernal based approach is always overkill. We’ll see what they do.

Calls and easily sharing my screen are 90% of my use cases for Discord. The entire appeal of it initially was that it was a more functional Ventrilo with both text and voice channels. Hopefully something FOSS gets further developed by the time Discord completely shits the bed.

I could see the login part being nice, but I still don’t really see the value in federating chat text. Honestly that would be a negative to me, I don’t really want my chat messages copied and federated out to other servers forever. Similarly, why would I want to view a chatroom through Lemmy? Why wouldn’t I just want to go to that community through it’s app or site or whatever?

It just feels a bit like blockchain all over again. Federation and activitypub are great tools for some purposes but people seem to want to use them for everything.

How would a Discord-like application integrate with Lemmy? Are chat logs federated to posts in Lemmy? Do posts in Lemmy get federated to this other chat thing? Can you just sign into chat with your Lemmy username and that’s it? Is it just a chatroom that’s associated with a community?

I feel like people here are like “everything should be federated” but sometimes I don’t really follow the thought process. I get it with Lemmy and Mastodon, but maybe someone could explain what a Federated Discord looks like.

Fairly sure Heroes of the Storm is still playable, just not getting a ton of active development.
