  • Because having your entire community on one platform is just a hell of a lot more convenient and manageable especially for smaller development studios. And Discord offers way better tools for moderation and real time discussions than any other tool I know.

    Sure, the searchability via search engines is pretty much none existent. But then again, you don’t really need that if all information regarding your game can be found via the Discord search.

    Additionally, players from all platforms can contribute and ask questions on Discord. The same is not true for e.g. the Steam User Forum.

    There’s a lot of problems with Discord and I feel like it’s only gonna get worse now that they’re public. But being blatantly oblivious to the obvious reasons why developers are choosing Discord over its alternatives helps no one.



  • That’s wrong. True, people like getting drunk, but ancient beer didn’t have nearly enough alcohol to get you wasted. What the alcohol did is killing all of the unhealthy bacteria. Even the ones that survive cooking. And tbh, I have no idea why you mention yeast here. Yeast is one of the main ingredients of beer. Of course it’s gonna be present.

    Another thing you have to consider: Even a couple of weeks is quite a long time for preserved food, when salt is expensive and cooling isn’t widely available. Even cooked water will only last a couple of days. Also beer doesn’t become vinegar, when stored in a sealed container like a barrel or an amphora.

    But the more important reason is probably that beer just tastes pretty good. Especially when you’re otherwise limited to bland well water.

    It’s funny. I know a lot of players who think like you, but I and many others go in the completely opposite direction. The tension in my combat encounters has increased significantly since my group and I started to only give vague health info. Suddenly, it’s a surprise agin when a character goes down and you can almost feel the tension every round when another hidden death save is rolled!
