Quoting: CatKiller

Quoting: The_Aquabatthis article never mentions which country's Supreme Court, many countries have Supreme Court, it's not obvious, had to click on the link to find out.

While technically true, how many countries have given us Oracle vs Google?

Also true, but large tech companies seem to end up in court in countries other than their country of origin pretty often nowadays. While it might be a reasonable inference, simply prepending "US" to "Supreme Court" would be a simple two-letter tweak to the article that would immediately make it clearer for everyone who wasn't aware of this lawsuit beforehand.

Hmm, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is now freezing repeatably on the loading screen with 6.3, and every other version I've tried. :sad:

Quoting: slaapliedjeYeah, what I meant wasn't that Discord was only used for gaming voice chat, but that instead of using in-game voice chat, or steam voice chat, they use Discord's voice chat. For sure, I'm in a few communities around things, one of which is the Atari VCS Founders group, and never once used the voice chat features for any of them. We use Discord for the voice chat though for our Valheim server.

Ahh, fair enough. My misunderstanding. :smile:

Excellent news! Multiplayer was a nice surprise already, it's great to have it be cross-platform as well.

Quoting: slaapliedjeHere's something I find hilarious about this... everyone uses Discord for gaming voice chat...

I'm not sure this is actually correct, or at least, entirely correct. I mean, sure, lots of people do use Discord for gaming voice chat, don't get me wrong, but it's also much more than that: it's basically a place for lots of communities to hang out and asynchronously communicate. Lots of games have Discord servers (I'm in the ones for Filament and Noita, for instance), where people chat and share ideas/hints/discussion/help/artwork/what-have-you (I've gotten a ton of help modding Noita from other modders in the server, for instance). There are Discord servers for programming languages (I know of Python and Rust, I'm sure there are others), even a small web-comic I follow has a(n official) server for discussions. I also use it for communicating with family back home across the Pacific and (text) chatting with friends.

If Discord were just voice chat then yes, it'd be relatively simple to replace with any of the other alternatives out there (other than the whole "network effect" and getting everyone to settle on an alternative), but it's really a lot more than that for some people and I don't know, off the top of my head, of a replacement that exactly covers all its use cases. That's the real issue for people looking for alternatives.

Fair enough, I'm still waiting for Victoria 3 with native Linux support since I discovered Paradox games back in…2014. :huh:

XCOM: Chimera Squad was working perfectly (for me at least) when it released a year ago, but I'm glad to see it's now "officially" working. :smile:

Lots of good stuff looks like. So cool to finally get some indigenous peoples in and around Oceania. I'm also excited for the Totemism changes, as I suggested a very similar idea some 4–5 years ago. :happy:

Quoting: sigzActually the linux build of shadow tactics has some issues, the guards sight cone is graphically broken, it displays fully white where it should be a translucent green.

Just fired it up to check and it's working fine for me on Debian 10 stable. :unsure: But sounds like a bug to report.
