Thank you both, i already felt stupid for the last three times i spun it up and felt the same way.

I was always too old for discord, it was too confusing for me. I missed the magic of early IRC channels or BBS/Forum stuff. It was seperate, but i liked it that way.
Discord looked like... TEAMS. I am forced to work with teams, and i hate every little bit about it.
As well there are some instances where i could not avoid discord (the dirtywave m8 forums, a great little hardware music tracker), i was very very strict about what info i gave there.
As for screen sharing and streaming, i never have had use for that. My mumbleserver runs flawlessly for years on peanuts, and it does everything i need. Steam chat and irc do the rest.
What i really dislike about the recent developments is the implication for people herding us cats, like Liam does here. He can not say "i don't care, i will use XYZ"... :(

Quoting: fabertaweAnyone notice any benefits with the optimisation and/or engine update?

I just did a quick test with the new update, chose the new "performance" setting and gave it a try (i play on mouse&keyboard normally). I visited a big multiplayer base, and it was absolutely smooth. It did not stay on 60fps, but quite consistently around 50ish. It feel responsive and lag-free for me, despite all the nice buildings my former teammates came up with. So yeah, seems good to me!

Quoting: GustyGhostNot sure what they're waiting for to finally drop "early access".

i absolutely agree, its so much fun to have. They want to "complete" the story, which they intend to do with the final biome, the deep north. So the lore, which i really like so far, will have a real ending. They are slow, but i'll take that over any rushed content any day.

That is fantastic news! Though i will play it mostly on my Laptop, because i am still learning to use console controls. Any performance upgrade is appreciated.
Sadly, my former troupe isn't enjoying Valheim as much as i still do, so i have to do (another) solo or find a new group.

I mean... they called it WIN 5... 😁
I guess the devs are okay, but the marketing dudes use too much powdered substances.
I really wonder who would fall for this. They need TrumpOS for their customers.

I had perfect eyes 40 years long. Then... i suddenly understood all those people that complained that "the light is too dark in here" or arms that grow too short.
The display size is the most limiting factor that prevents me to play anything on the deck, and mostly it comes down to text size. I'm with you on that. 8-)

Okay, you got me, i have to have this. Did you play it on the deck yourself? I'll take a look if i get the soundtrack with it, too, it seems to be really good.

Okay, you got me, i'll buy it finally.
(Either this or i have to do the ashlands in Valheim solo, so... easy choice)

Another one percenter (new releases) here. Guess i am an old man of habit. :)
I really lile this feature. While i get that this is a bummer for people that only play offline, it shows that they don´t collect any data then. Which is something i really like. They easily could have snuck in a service that tracks things offline.
