  I would say yes, it works well enough, and with updates, it should get better. Discord’s streaming is server-based, which is why it works well. When server-based screen sharing is released, it should exceed Discord. You also won’t need to buy Nitro. My group has been on TeamSpeak for years, and I’ve looked at a lot of different replacements but none of them fit my requirements (self-hosted, voice chat rooms, screen sharing.) I think the main thing for your group is if TeamSpeak would be sufficient to replace Discord. TeamSpeak currently doesn’t have the same features, such as text-channels, as Discord, so that has been a deal-breaker for some. My group never used them because we’ve been on TeamSpeak from the beginning. Text-channels in particular have been the most common request outside of screen sharing, so I think they will get implemented eventually, but the development team is smaller, so it will likely take many more months. Outside of the screen sharing, if TeamSpeak as an application works for your use case, then I would try it. You can host your own server or use one of their communities. You can also just add each other as contacts and start a call.

  Correct, TeamSpeak 6, which is still in beta so it requires an account.

  Because it’s client-side, it just depends. The specs of the computer sharing and available internet bandwidth will be a factor. In my experience it’s pretty reliable for non-video content, YT videos vary but are mostly fine. With games it depends on the video bit rate of the game. Minecraft would probably be fine, but Battlefield 6 may struggle. You only need the TeamSpeak 6 client to hop in a group call and try it out (an account is required as it’s in beta). If you do configure a TeamSpeak 6 server, you can screen share within the voice chat channel. Though I understand it probably isn’t easy to persuade your friends to try a new program. If you run into any issues, the support forum is very active.

  TeamSpeak has screen sharing, but it’s currently only p2p. Server-side screen sharing is still in development.

  Thanks for posting. I’ll definitely check this out.

  Just so you know, after you “complete” the game and are returned to the main menu, there’s still a bit of content left, so be sure to continue your save. Though it’s pretty obvious, I still missed it until I started watching a video about the game and realized I wasn’t finished.

  SIGNALIS plays similar to Silent Hill, but is more focused on story.

  +1 for Enderal

  Nice! Is this basically SS2 with QoL and graphical enhancements mods? Or are these changes being created in-house?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam REAL TIME STRATEGY FEST is here!!!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I keep hearing about ZeroK and Beyond All-Reason. What are the major differences between the two and how do these compare with Sup Com FAF, TA and such?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to find a game I remember...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What about The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to find a game I remember...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never played it, but perhaps Mask of the Rose?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you prefer RTS or Turn based tactics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  For those that want an RTS game that doesn’t require a high APM, I’d recommend Supreme Commander Forged Alliance (FAF) and the Sins of a Solar Empire Games (which requires an even lower APM).

  I don’t own P3 Reloaded, but is this sort of like the additional content that usually comes in Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal? Shouldn’t this have been included in the P3 Reloaded release?
