    I use Steam Chat for playing games with family and friends. It has better audio quality than discord in my opinion, and you can make groups (something like Discord servers) too. It doesn’t have all the functionality of servers, but the basic idea is there.

    I am actually surprised nobody mentioned it yet Why use some third party application, when you can use the Steam’s one.

    It’s not like the OP is concerned about privacy. They were using discord. They didn’t say it has to be open source.

    For talking outside of gaming or away from PC, I use signal.









  • Worm is definetly worth it imo. One of the best fantasy stories I have experienced. Either on TV or in book. It’s everybody’s cup of tea, because it is a fantasy in present day, where people have super powers. If you are into that you will probably like. Some people might compare it to marvel or dc, but I would say the only similarities are the there are superheroes. Worm is really dark, especialy later. People acually have interesting powers, instead of just variations on super strength or speed. When people fight there is often some cool implementation of their power.

    I acually listened to audiobook. There is fan made one, with pretty good narrator. https://abaddonproductions.org/category/worm/ You can listen to it on podcast apps like anthenapod. Book is around 175 h long. I listened to it on 1.5 speed. It took me about 2 and half weeks. I can listen during my work, almost whole shift. I really take advantage of that. I go through 130+ books in a year.

    Now for the sequel Ward, that I started recently. I dropped it like 2 weeks ago. I was maybe 45% in. Didnt like what the author did with one of my favorite characters from Worm. Maybe I will finish it later idk yet, story is very interesting too. Definetly still recommend Worm, even if you would not plan to read the sequel. Worm works as a standalone book and the ending has great conclusion.

    Here is another recomendation for long series. Wandering Inn. Currently you can read it on author website. Or you can listen to audiobooks. That’s what I have been doing. Narrator is amazing imo. Some people say first book is rough. I really liked it either way. But author took the criticism and is making revised version of the first book. So maybe wait for that. Currently there is 13 books, each has around 1300 pages. The longest is second one. It has 1700 pages. Now, I’m waiting for the 14th. Start of the series is laid off, slice in life even. But later it turns into epic fantasy, with a ton of characters, politics, adventures etc. Author even started new spin off series with first book: Gravesong.

    I know they said the mod is too big for nexus, but why did they choose only gog for the release? Steam has great support for mods in their store. Enderal released on steam just fine.

    Now when you install fallout London it uses your fallout 4 install, so you can’t switch between games. If your f4 is on steam you have to downgrade it and disable steam cloud. If they released on steam they could have just make it that people can install the mod only if they own f4. Then they could have just include all files needed in their own install, and wouldnt have to use your f4 game. No downgrading, working cloud saves, both games playable. If they didnt want to pay 100 bucks for steam page, they could have just ask me, I would pay for it.
