I do once in a blue moon.

Morrowind, if you’re using OpenMW, also has multiplayer.

… What? You got something to back that tall tale up with?

So long as it passes the Harkness Test it isn’t bestiality.

BREAKING NEWS!!

Butthurt terminally online armchair trans ally discovers porn is all fantasy!

It’s a genre, not a slur. You don’t get to control language.

Maybe. Looking like the best option right now.

Oh no, not another Lemony Snikket rabbit hole.

Yeah, I know. I wanted to pack as much info into the title as I can, and it turned out like technobabble. ^^;

Don Quixote, the windmills are over there.

Seems you lack the comprehension that deciding not to over-expose a symptom but rather treat the disease is not the same as ignoring. Unity is better than division (a very right-wing concept, right?).

Seems like you also lack humour.

Except the entire state of the world is what’s responsible for the problems of your immediate group. When you focus on your immediate group you’re not only merely treating a symptom, but you’re also suggesting your problems are somehow more important than another group’s problems.

What’s worse is that people of a specific group will literally say their problems are more important, and then proceed to create a stereotype of another group to blame all those problems on. The struggle then moves away from real problems and then becomes all about defeating some sort of perceived enemy. A process which only achieves dividing us further.

A lot of the world’s problems, both socially and economically, come from the same handful of sources that are continuing to thrive, unchecked, while we fight amongst ourselves. Remove those sources and you will have solved the lion’s share of the problems your group shares, as well as the problems other groups have.

But we’re all indigenous to Earth.

A call to arms for everyone to unite against the oligarchy.

“Okay rightie”

I have considered looking into renting a VPS, but considering my friends group does A LOT of voice calling and streaming over Discord I dint think super lightweight is an option. Even so, not having to pay for a server is always better than having to pay any amount for one.

I’ll take a look at ejabberd. Didn’t know there were specific preferences for clients.

It’s a bit of both:

My friends need a drop-in replacement for Discord (or as close as possible), sooner rather than later. My idea for self hosting is to defeat the need of someone hosting a 24/7 server; if we all host our own accounts on our own computers we’d essentially have a peer-to-peer Discord-like group.

The other reason is indeed to learn, because every centralised service has the same problem; it’s not a question if a service will turn bad, but when. It’s an inevitability, and it’s happening faster and more frequently. The only out-way I see is if me and at least some of my friends learn to self-host.

'90’s’thn’t

But it’s the wrong hole! >:V

Gee, if only we could’ve seen this coming.

No, like a legit game engine that is advertised as “console ready”.
