I’m in my mid thirties and I sure as hell am not giving my identity documents to a service that gets hacked every other week
Slight correction:
As an old: You kids and your TeamSpeak … back in my day Ventrilo, and we were happy to have it! (uphill both ways or something about my lawn).
You think that’s old? Let’s talk ICQ.
Uh oh!
Took me a second, then I remembered the sound.
Still remember my number lol
This is the part where my mom would mention party lines.
In some rural areas there was something like not every house had a unique phone number, but as a side effect you could just pick up the phone and talk to all the people on that same party line at once.
I lived in a rural area and the nearest phone for emergencies belonged to one house that lived a quarter mile away.
The owner of the phone got hooked on WoW on dial-up at some point and basically ended the party line for everyone.
Squatting on a party-line to play WoW is just a wild pairing of technological eras to me. If we go by the invention date of the former they’re more than a century apart (1878).
Also: rude!
That’s amazing. I’m gonna tell my mom that, she’ll love it.
I’m that old too!
But that’s way before I started real online gaming, where Vent was during the peak of my online gaming days.
My discord account is old enough to buy alcohol but yet they think I’m 13 because I play Minecraft to much while discord is open.
Right. I should be able to be common sensed through age verification at this point.
Just use a picture of your dead grandpa, I’m sure he won’t mind…
I figure ai probably knows what ai is looking for, so I’m just going to generate a fake selfie if I need to.
Is it even looking for black and white / greyscale photos?
What if I give it a B&W of my own face? 🤔
I assume they fixed it, but I heard a few months ago gmod models were working.
I am Heavy Weapons Guy, and this is my ID Verification.
Discord will be using video verification
Should I dump the ashes out or leave them in the urn?
My dad wanted us to roll his ashes into a joint and smoke him.
We respected his wishes to be cremated, but I’m sorry daddy, I don’t think anyone’s gonna be smoking your ashes…
Coward. I’ll blaze your dad, hmu if he starts haunting you over this
Umm, okay. I still have ashes available, you gotta roll it and smoke it yourself though…
Haha I was just kidding, he probably was too. Genuinely down but it seems logistically tricky, if there’s a haunting that needs addressed we can talk about flying me in then ;)
Have you seen “How High”?
I was just joking too, but dad seriously said that, almost every time we had friends over and a doobie going around…
He sounds like a cool guy. The bit’s at least as old as cheech and chong, and the core premise of “How High” is gaining the knowledge of the dead by smoking their remains to pass college entrance exams. I used to tell the kids they should scrape my lungs for resin, here’s Willie Nelson to elaborate the concept :)
They need a phoyo AND valid ID like drivers license
I thought the articles were just listing both as options
i can find norman reedus’s drivers id with enough digging
Matrix + Element.
It’s open source, decentralized (federated), supports voice/video, roles, persistent rooms, and you can self-host if you want full control. It’s basically the only thing that feels like a real discord replacement without being locked into one company’s servers.
I installed this yesterday and couldn’t find one room related to video games that had any chat messages in the past few years. I put a message in anyway, but not optimistic.
Same picture with FPV or vintage HiFi.
We have to invade and propogate!
be the change you wish to see in the world.
now is the perfect time to assist in this developing landscape and make into something we can actually call our own.
I fucking love Music/Band, those guys fuckin’ rip.
I hope irc comes back.
irc never left, we just stopped using it
I stood my ground on not using this useless software for like 10 years. If there was no in-game chat or voice I just didn’t, but almost all games where that is necessary have it.
How validated I feel as it crumples.
i made an acct last week because my lesbian game night group decided to start a ToR clan. none of us are going to age verify, so i guess we’re going to get a new app. if i can convince them.
Are you a bad enough lesbian to set up matrix?
This is amazing. Especially out of context.
Arent all of us 56 years old this year?
You can already pretend to be a kid in a room with other kids on discord! There’s a HUGE CSAM problem on it.
switched straight to teamspeak
that’s the app we used playing dayz thank you i could not remember
Lol
I’m checking out fluxer but it’s getting hug of death right now. Root also looks promising but they are closed source and VC backed which gives me pause.
I’m 42. My wife is 40. Are we too old for discord?
Until you give them your official government ID, you’re 13 as far as discord is concerned
