So dance, fucker, dance.

Thats the wrong song, uh? Jay commited suicide?

No problem, revolt is painless to switch to if you dont need video sharing. I prefer it to Matrix just for vidya voice chat its easy.

I mean yeah, its bad.

I get told I’m a Russian hacker when I post it and people are faced with my “did you download Element or some sort of client?” page. The QR was something we chose not to setup as it seemed to not work too well, at least with our server.

Running it is pretty easy, we have a little service in a space that we can send commands to and we dont even have to login to synapse. The guy making the real magic on the backend setup some sort of s3 buckets and that made data management a breeze. I like it, but discord user features still kick the shit out of Matrix.

Edit: I think I read two comments at once. I dont have the brain capacity to sort it out sorry.

I get that but that isolation you get in the “server” you make on Discord does make people feel they are on their own island. Especially tech illiterate people. You can get the same in Matrix. But the way Matrix does things is just different. And it feels like the spaces aren’t as isolated. Maybe thats just because I have only experienced Matrix through the admin side and Synapse

Ubuntu, I hated it lol

It is, you aren’t wrong. But the invisible eye of corporate Discord is not the same. Discord makes you feel like you are in your own space. I found from the servers I am in on Matrix it feels, decidedly less like that. Revolt is a 1 to 1 replacement for discord that is lacking a lot of features. I’d push people to that over Matrix if they are used to discord and just want that again. I’m not even gonna mention Guilded to people.

Couldn’t imagine denying your nature so hard you fall to fascism. Its not even bad bangin’ dudes, hardly something to get upset over.

Oh I for some reason imagined MAGA being gay instead. Which may be interesting for LGBTQ rights.

Imagine the world we’d be living in if this was true.

You do if you want a replacement for “your own discord server”

You’ve got a point, I should probably just touch a rock and start the thing with that instead of a poor tree.

Yeah get in line and get installed on my computer.

Probably not. Revolt is pretty bare bones but the customization is great. No video sharing.

Matrix is not something you can just set up with no skills.

But Guilded’s story is exactly the same as Discord’s just one chapter behind.

I’d “make a golden tree statue”, sell it for crypto, buy trump coins with it, go to his dinner, and shake his hand.

So you’re telling me all we had to do was cop a bunch of these and we could have been right there? Within earshot?

I get ads in my discord now. Revolt, Matrix, thats your queue.

The Hollow Lord ending is different than a natural age of dark though. The Ashen One jacks the First Flame and their own Dark Soul is titsed up such that together they can manifest reality (for anyone out there reading that dont know). Its a shame we only see them step into this reality and not much else is known about it. I’ve always assumed it must be the world The Painter made, since it has nearly the same ingredients (first flame vs painting’s flame? Same same?)

On another note its crazy to think that in the entire history of Dark Souls (as it is at the end of 3) never had an age of dark. Like yeah, you can consider it to have at the end of any of your playthroughs in 1 or 3, but the world of 3 seems to assume one never happened and same with 2 when you start. An entire natural Age denied existence by Gwyn’s fear and hubris.

Isn’t the Hollow Lord ending the canonical one? We’re done? Free’d to our own realm of humanity and sanctioned with the power of Dark and Flame? If I recall Miyazaki has actually stated no endings are canon for the 3rd one at least.

For me, NG+ is a result of the timeline in reality breaking down at the end of the age of fire and depositing you back at the beginning of your tale. Thats definitely not canon but its sicc as hell to think about.

I’m glad you couldn’t resist cause I just wanna say Gwyn is a dick head eternally. Trapped man in a mortal form because he was so afraid of their Dark Soul that never lost power as it fragmented. And the damn diplomacy! The Pygmy’s worshiped the gods until the end of time! Such travesty, such waste! I’m also convinced there has never fully been an Age of Dark as the Darksign would have presumably vanished when the first flame did during one of those ages. But clearly, in DS3 we still have the same darksign. Ugh such good fucken lore that hit the spot. Thanks.
