Okay, I'll chime in here...
I initially thought Discord was something for gamers only. Remember, I'm 40; I don't game; I'm not into anime; but I find Reddit to be absolutely hilarious because in my mind it's run by 13 year old boys who tell dick and fart jokes for fun during class instead of listening to the teacher (or automated robotic teaching support system, whatever they have in school nowadays). Anyway, I thought Discord would be shit.
I tried it with something I was interested in but it was kind of boring, nothing really going on, and confusing AS HELL INTERFACE to understand and get used to (again, like newer video game controllers, I just didn't get it).
Okay, so fast forward and I get an invite to the Discord server and it's actually PACKED with stuff.
Here's where I am still confused. It's real time, but there is SO MUCH activity that it's really hard to be able to pick up where you left off. This makes me wonder if that's the intention. You are supposed to be chiming in in real time, not scrolling through pages like in the forum. Is this kind of right?
I have been trying it out for a day or two now and I admit, I like it.
The speculation is fucking INSANE! I now understand how you pros have been able to simply shrug off something as 'not BoC'. Because everything seems to be fleshed out on the Discord server.
And from what I understand, like Fredd-E was saying, it's basically real-time chat and stuff.
It actually seems to be the perfect solution to meeting people 'in person' for now.
And I totally get Orbited. He and I are on the same page there.
What I THINK I'm seeing on Discord now (correct me if I'm wrong, Fredd-E) is the group trying to figure out if something claiming to be authentic early BoC is actually real or not. They are going to lengths that would boggle the mind. It's pretty cool, honestly. But I'm not very much into the speculation because the actual release is nearly here
I'm totally going to do the voice stuff on Discord when my toddler isn't screaming into my fucking ear holes.
And hey Orbited, thanks for sharing what you shared. I was unaware and I will now treat you differently!
Kidding. I love when people are able to be open about stuff.
I had a full-blown anxiety attack while at the doctor a couple of days ago. They had to have someone come in and hold my hands, literally, and talk to me like I was about to jump off a building. This was for a fucking CT scan. Anyway, that's something about me to make me real to anyone reading.
