Amnesty for people who don't know what Discord and Twitch are

I admit it. I have no idea what Discord is, save that it must be some kind of channel, or chat room, or teamspeak-type thing that almost all guilds seem to use right now.

Sure I could Google the information and educate myself, but right now, I’m kind of enjoying feeling like a clueless, crusty old technophobe. Back in the days when I played Retail people generally used Ventrillo and it’s various variants to communicate. Discord, despite every Guild advertisement mentioning it is alien territory to me. WoW was the last multiplayer game I ever played. Since 2012 it’s been single player, Dragon Age/Mass Effect/Skyrim Single Player et al all the way for me, and I’m OK with that.

I haven’t a clue what Twitch is either. Not even the remotest notion, save that Streamers seem to use it.

I can’t be the only one?.. come on, there must be others out there as ignorant about all this newfangled technology malarky as I? No judgements here mate.

I’m in that weird middle ground where I know what those things are, but don’t really feel like using them grins

Discord is basically a mix of Teamspeak/Ventrillo and IRC. It can be used either for voice chat or as a text based chat, where it allows stuff like servers, with different chat rooms on it (but also just simple one on one messaging). I can totally see how it might be useful for guilds. But here’s the thing, I already have four or five other messengers installed that I regularly use for one reason or another. I really don’t need one more. So I’ll sit on the sidelines and shake my walking stick at all those darn kids these days, with their twitching discords :wink:
