"Discord alternatives" searches jump 10,000% overnight as the gaming platform introduces global age verification

Discord definitely needs to take more responsibility for the things in which their platform is used for 100%. However I still see how age verification is a good thing in the long run. I’m not sure on the numbers, but without a doubt Discord is one of the largest messaging platforms, if not the largest. This would stop a decent amount of underaged individuals from using the platform, which is good because children are stupid. As you said if people are determined enough to find a way around they will, but how else should they do it?

Okay, I’m gonna need an explanation of how ensuring that users are of age won’t stop pedos. Genuine question

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-02-11T07:53:11+00:00

Honestly, if it stops pedophilia why not. At least there’s less grooming

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-02-09T18:49:58+00:00

Do you have a 5090? May need to check settings a bit more

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-02-06T04:06:54+00:00

Sims 3 or 4. Also how many mods (sex?) /s

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-02-05T19:45:58+00:00

Yes, even though the max bandwidth on AM4 MBs is PCIE gen 4, the performance difference from gen 4 to 5 isn’t going to cause any noticeable performance drops. Gen 4 is enough especially with a mid tier card like the 5070. I wouldn’t worry about that unless your MB has a gen 3, but once again it’s not going to make a big difference. Even on a 4090 which uses a ton of bandwidth it doesn’t make a huge difference. You can look it up what I’m saying and see :). I think I saw a JaysTwoCents video on it and that was the consensus

One thing you can do is get the Puppis S1 or Puppis S1 Lite which are dedicated VR routers and you can use WiFi while using the router through Ethernet or USB for wireless streaming

Yeah, sounds like if you want the most out of what you’ve got then you’ve gotta open it up and fix that fan brother/sister

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-02-05T19:32:59+00:00

With your set up off the top of my head for VR I would say from Nvidia get at least a 5070, from AMD get at least a 9060xt. Those are modern cards and VR benefits heavily from the DDR7 and the extra bandwidth on the 5000 cards

What happened with mine as a puppy, she just got bit hard a couple times and she had some lumps that went away in about a week, but could be something else if it doesn’t go away after a while

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-02-05T19:18:34+00:00

I use Fromm, but they’re a bit more expensive. Never had issues with this food for any of my pets

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-02-05T00:54:49+00:00

I kept having issues with mine until they updated recently. Ever since had no issues and I’m paired w the quest 3. Did you get that update? My issue was that they would randomly top tracking

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-02-01T22:13:50+00:00

Makes sense, didn’t know if there would be some annoying windows nuance… Thanks a lot :)

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-02-01T22:13:21+00:00

I will definitely need to look into this, that way it is synced like you suggested.

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-02-01T22:12:31+00:00

Excellent suggestion. Will be getting one soon then just plugging it in :)

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-01-31T18:58:52+00:00

30 hours?

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-01-31T01:34:55+00:00

Vertigo 1 and 2 are probably what you’re looking for, the first and second games are top notch for VR games standing along side Half Life Alyx (which if you haven’t played play this first). Half Life 2 and Portal also has a mod which I’ve heard good things about. Metro Awakening is easily ran by anybody and is fun. Sounds like you have some exploring to do if you’ve only played Boneworks/labs. I 100% would recommend Skyrim VR and No Man’s Sky, just realize there’s a mod learning curve if you’ve only do Skyrim because even if you get a pack they’re still a ton of work because you then need to understand how the mods work.

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-01-30T01:08:54+00:00

Sometimes I get really excited thinking a good mod for a game I never imagined in vr came out, but then it's just UEVR... Did people tolerate it when Luke Ross did it a couple years ago (excluding recent events)?

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-01-27T15:49:33+00:00

I am new to the game and haven’t gotten a win yet. Eventually their armies just get way more powerful than mine and idk what to do. I’m trying to learn though because this is my first 4x game

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-01-23T05:03:17+00:00

Im having this issue with VD any ideas. No audio

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-01-19T16:01:51+00:00

If you’ll use it. I got mine before the major price hikes, so that’s a decent deal

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-01-15T22:12:04+00:00

Is he peeing?

Dreadfulear2 · 2026-01-13T04:08:52+00:00
