I don't see why not - that would be more fun than just voice chat.

Discord don't do video chat, I don't think?

They certainly do video - I logged on this morning and set up the video to use my laptop's webcam in anticipation.

Like the man with orthopaedic shoes, I stand corrected. I've not got my webcam on the desktop machine so I'll be voice only for the most part I suspect.

That, and my place is a fucking shithole at the moment and no-one gets to see it

Right then, what’s the url & do I really have to create an account with it?

I'm fairly sure you do need to create an account. Link for today: https://discord.gg/vGyhvh

That was a quite entertaining evening. I ended up - post midnight - discussing late stage capitalism in a realistici fashion with [mention]Sundayjumper[/mention] which was quite interesting, what with his fairly solid accounting background, and my fairly solid 'being a working stiff' background

In all seriousness, this lot are a lovely bunch - get a decent headset, throw the Discord app on your phone and join in next week!


Edit: Oh, and thanks to JonMad and RobYob for just generally hanging out, proper interesting chats about things we've all discussed on here over the last few weeks including the axial twincharging V6 engine Rob was talking about last week - had pictures this week! Don't be afraid to join in, kids - we're all just people at the end of the day

Oi. [mention]ShockDiamonds[/mention] consider yourself marked, yeah?

Video chats don’t seem particularly possible, and despite testing my mic and it working fine, it still didn’t seem to work for me.

Disappointed; it’d be good to see you for a beer.

OK, so we’re at one-all now

After a lie down on the kitchen floor and a long trip to the bathroom to think about what I’d done, bed was quite blissful.

Bunch of animals

Great to chat to you fellas.

Good to virtually meet you Rob.

Beany, that Donnington trackday - 2003

I've spent all day in bed, so let's call it evens

I’ll sort the mic out. Then sort the beers out.

So, Thursday this week, or Friday, as it's bank holiday weekend innit?

Hadn't considered that, guess it could be both for the hardcore

Paging [mention]Sundayjumper[/mention], paging Sundayjumper...

Bleugh. No. Wife is still unhappy with the state I got into last week. I'm going to skip it this week.

ShockDiamonds will have to step up and take my place.

Oops, did I get you in trouble?
