Ignoring the whole tencent/botnet shit Discord is only worth using if you're a retard who still uses Skype for some reason

Otherwise I'd rather use Teamspeak/Mumble

What do you mean, and how do you figure? It's entirely up to the server administrator how many text channels are in each server.

Yeah all the forced in memes are really cringe

you're right on that (with strangers)
>>
>>341630045

By literally selling your data, there's a reason its bankrolled by tencent

>>341630123

On Mumble/TS when you join a channel all your text messages only go to that channel. TS also has a server wide text chat tab in addition to the one that only works in the channel you are in. That is far better than how discord implements it

My only problem with discord is it doesn't have as much of a customization option with mic thresholds. On teamspeak I have a very high defined threshold because my parrot can get loud at times, this makes it so the mic picks up nothing until I talk right into it somewhat loudly.

On discord, despite all my sensitivity settings being on the lowest possible, my mic activates if I drop a penny on the other aide of the house

Discord is simple as fuck to use. You might as well hop on the bandwagon now instead of splitting thousands of communities between multiple programs.

>>341631692
Your mic sensitivity in Windows is undoubtedly 100%. Right click your volume icon and go to Recording devices. Find your mic, lower your sensitivity. If this solved your problem, remember not to bitch until you've actually Googled a problem.
>>
>>341633007
My windows mic sensitivity is a constant 28%, I have to lower it even further for discord for some reason. I use a blue yeti and yes the gain dial on the back is down and it is in the right mode.

At least discord isn't as bad as Skype and tries to auto adjust your windows mic sensitivity if you aren't paying attention and fix it in the options

What happened to just talking in-game? Why is everyone so keen to listening each other breathe in parties day in and day out? Most of my best and funniest multiplayer experiences has been talking and talking shit to random people in pubs.

>A rhetorical question intended as a challenge... the question is difficult or impossible to answer. In the example, What have the Romans ever done for us? (Monty Python's Life of Brian) the question functions as a negative assertion. It is intended to mean The Romans have never done anything for us!. When Shakespeare's Mark Antony exclaims: Here was a Caesar! when comes such another? it functions as an assertion that Caesar possesses such rare qualities they may never be seen again. (Julius Caesar, Act 3, scene 2, 257)

>Negative assertions may function as positives in sarcastic contexts. For example, in Smoking can lead to lung cancer. Who knew?! the question functions as an assertion that the truth of the statement should have been utterly obvious.
