Every time I fire up Discord it's got more and more pointless bullshit added to it (hexbear.net)

You're a fucking VOIP program*, why the fuck do you have "quests"

Also: "Journey to Quest home"

You mean click on the icon???? FUCK OFF matt-jokerfied

spoiler

*sadly a bunch of gamer dumbdumbs have decided Discord should also be the replacement for traditional forums for basic shit like support or download links

good luck googling any of that shit matt-joker

We're literally playing a game with in-game voice chat. Just use that?"

"No bro let's run a third party app in the background"

This part isn't that weird if you're playing with friends. You'll probably want to get everyone together and make sure everone's mics work before you fire up the game or try to load into the same match. Also if you're playing with friends you're probably also just gonna talk about stuff you don't want randos to hear.

Before Discord, my friend group used Skype and Steam Chat for this purpose on PC, but also Xbox Live's party chat back when the Xbox 360 was a thing
