A lot of veterans tell us the hardest thing to replace after service is the people. For some it’s a Friday night game with old friends and voices you know. This Veterans Day we’ve teamed up with @discord to help make that happen more often.
Connect through our site below and veterans can access a year of Discord Nitro, Discord's premium membership with perks like custom emoji, HD streaming, and larger file uploads. Just verify through GOVX.
Through this partnership we’ll be funding in-person game nights hosted by Got Your 6 Network organizations this November and December. Stay tuned for more details on those!
The offer is open for three months, while supplies last and subject to eligibility and normal terms. bobwoodrufffoundation.org/di…

Instantaneous account switching coming soon to Discord mobile
Devs subjected to struggle session because they used the Bad Computer to fix some bugs
Big Walk used AI in 'the final stretch' of development, kicking off intense awards debate:

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
House House used LLMs sparingly near the end of Big Walk's development, mainly to fix bugs in third-party code. They estimate well under 0.1% of the game's code was affected, and they didn't use generative AI elsewhere.

This was actually an issue with our provider for the .com landing page. Unrelated to our ongoing rust rewrite. status.webflow.com/

You realize this is a dream job for a sizable chunk of the population. Immured inside a big concrete cylinder & drip fed worm percocet so you can play Space Shipping Tycoon for 5,000 years in a row. There’s guys out there doing that for free right now
Can any dune book reader explain why anyone would choose to become a navigator in Dune?
In the world of Dune, navigators are barely human anymore. They spend years immersed in highly concentrated spice gas, causing their bodies to mutate severely until they resemble strange fish-like creatures. So, why would anyone accept such a terrible price?

A mobile comparison test
On the left is the current Discord Android client, and on the right is the new version we’re developing in Rust

We didn't forget about mobile, especially Android. Inspired by React Native, it drives the OS-native view layer through the same Rust codebase as the new desktop app.
I think it might be the most responsive app on my phone now?
Ocarina of Time remake has so many of these little details that add to the atmosphere. An unbelievable amount of love was put into this thing

The new Discord client using less RAM is just part of the story. Clicking around feels instant, I can't go back. Check out the boot time.
We've been early adopters of Rust since 2018 and a lot of our infra, voice tech, and even some of the current client is already Rust, the holy grail was getting the whole client there. That means Electron goes away, and so does React Native, mobile keeps native UI but shares app code with desktop via Rust. We hope to get it into testing with users soon™. (And it's not Tauri, it's GPUI, so good guess everyone.)
Alright, back to staring at the WoW Forever login screen.

Beyond honored to announce that I'm the English voice of Princess Zelda in The Ocarina of Time Remake. OoT was my favorite N64 game as a kid and it's still so hard to believe I even get to make this post, so you'll have to forgive me as it's a little hard to find the words to say
