Guest: Stanislav Vishnevskiy, CTO and co-founder of DiscordFor many years, the conventional wisdom was the gaming was not social because it was something you usually did at home. “But people who play games are often the most social,” says Discord CTO Stanislav Vishnevskiy. “They're spending 10, 20 hours with other people online, hanging out.” As a teenager, Stanislav logged more than 1,000 days playing his favorite video game and socializing with friends around the world, but with 200 million monthly active users, the social platform is appealing to a lot more than hardcore gamers. “People online who need to get together and collaborate ... [want] tp have control and create a place,” he says. “That's not just a gaming need, right? That's pretty much any community.”In this episode, Stanislav and Joubin discuss “Discord moments,” hanging out online, IRC and AIM, Fates Forever, good and bad stress, leadership coaches, Claire Hughes Johnson, socializing online, heart surgery, Slack, Jason Citron, in-browser voice chat, Reddit, authentic CX, hiring slowly, Mitch Lasky, “playing moneyball,” React, content moderation, deprecation plans, and collaborative projects.Chapters:(02:09) - Discord's scale and importance (07:35) - What is Discord?

This week's a little different. I'm (James) joined by Justin Vasquez of Elastic Games to talk about how the sudden closure of the Discord Store drastically altered the future of what was meant to one of the shop's flagship titles. Last Year is a 5v1 teens versus monster horror game deeply rooted in B-movie aesthetics, a charming and unique take on asymmetrical competition that I personally prefer to the easy, but not entirely accurate comparison, Dead by Daylight. But Last Year hasn't had the easiest time standing out. Shortly after launch on the Discord Store, the future of the game was put on the fritz when the shop suddenly closed. The team went dark for months much to the dismay of their busy Discord community, but Elastic Games has since found a new direction and road map for its debut, and more importantly, a new home on Steam. Vasquez takes me through the moments the Discord Store shut down, the trouble of maintaining healthy communication with a fervent community, keeping up team morale in a difficult time, and the new shape and direction of Last Year.

Cine ar câștiga? Chadturionul sau Virginoierul Postapocaliptic? Centurionul ar putea căra mult peste capacitatea unui om normal dar nu o face căci are tot ce are nevoie în castră unde-i sunt și tovarășii de luptă. Virginoierul nu poate căra mai mult decât îi permite o cifră (TOCILARU' HĂ HĂ) și nu are tovarăși, doarme pe unde apucă. Anyway, mai sunt și știri săptămâna asta. Riot are scăpări la conducta de gaze și multe magazine digitale la orizont.

Wieder einmal kämpfen sich Lukas und Olli durch das Newsgemenge und finden diverse Aufreger. Vorweg gibt Olli aber erst einen kurzen Einblick in das Überwachungs-Spiel "Orwell", das kostenlos aus dem HumbleBundle purzelte. Danach wundern sie sich über astronomische Gehälter für scheidende EA Executives, rätseln über die Schwäche der deutschen Gaming-Branche im internationalen Vergleich. Außerdem diskutieren sie die aktuelle Flut an neuen Launchern und vielleicht Hilfe für den Umgang damit von etwas unerwarteter Seite. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 00:00 - Einstieg 11:40 - Hörerfeedback 22:40 - Fallout 76 erscheint nicht über Steam 33:05 - Patrick Söderlund verlässt EA 38:55 - Microsoft gründet mit Veteranen neues Studio 47:40 - Branchenmitglieder zum aufgehobenen Hakenkreuzverbot 55:40 - Deutsche Entwickler weiterhin schwach 68:10 - Discord Store und Launcher 78:25 - Steam Machines sollen wiederbelebt werden
