TK Dodge RE made melee combat much more interesting when I last played. I could finally enjoy playing someone other than a stealth archer. :)
Adamant and other overhauls from SimonMagus did likewise for various other game mechanics.
Interesting NPCs brought in a follower that I enjoyed adventuring with.
- Comment on Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC 2 days ago:
And at least some of their flagship games were ported to PC by a developer that didn’t bother with optimization, leading to ridiculously high system requirements, so only a fraction of PC gamers would reasonably be able play them. (I’m looking at you, The Last of Us.)
Combine that with high prices and years-late releases, and you’ve guaranteed yourself underwhelming sales.

Guild Wars 2 has a dynamic level scaling system that does a pretty good job of solving disparities like the one you described. I think it also has simpler battle mechanics than other MMOs. And the base game is free.

You are not wrong, but it seems really nitpicky.
Ah, yes… the dismissive opinion of someone who hasn’t had to do the work to clean up messes caused by the broken design. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind when looking back upon the time I’ve spent helping people in your position.
- Comment on Meta: Can you please not announce every single porn community you create 2 weeks ago:
Lemmy doesn’t offer a community-specific NSFW filter. It’s all or nothing, and “NSFW” is a broad category that includes other things in other communities that people do want to continue seeing.

Would it make sense to ban NSFW communities here, and let them start separate announcement community for those?

- Comment on Welcoming Discord users amidst the challenge of Age Verification 3 weeks ago:
The only real difficulty I foresee with users down the line is what happens when people lose their recovery keys.
Yep, the possibility of someone losing their recovery codes is a risk shared by practically all e2ee systems, authenticators, etc. (Have you backed up your Steam Guard recovery codes?) When a user is the only one with access to their secrets, they are also the only one who can be responsible for them.
This is part of why I suggested in my top-level comment that room admins coming from Discord disable end-to-end encryption when creating their first Matrix rooms. This keeps things simpler as their users get acquainted with Matrix, and reduces the consequences if someone loses their account recovery key. The point-to-point HTTPS encryption between client and server will still be in place, providing the same level of protection that Discord offers. End-to-end encryption can always be added to a room later, once everyone is familiar with the new environment.

I don’t think it’s meant to inspire confidence.
I think it’s meant to moderate expectations, and give a peek into the current state of an evolving system.

A couple things to keep in mind if you’re getting started with Matrix after having been on Discord:
End-to-end encryption is available, but you might want to leave it disabled when you create a room. This will help keep things simple for your users as they get familiar with Matrix. Connections between client and server will still be encrypted using HTTPS, which is the same level of encryption that Discord has. (And if it’s a public room, e2ee wouldn’t have any value anyway.) You can always add end-to-end encryption to your rooms later.
A few terms used on Discord are different in the Matrix ecosystem…
Discord term Matrix term server space channel room discord.com homeserver (there are many) If you don’t like the first Matrix client you try, consider trying others. Much like email clients, the features and user interface styles vary. The blog post mentions Cinny and Commet. Element X is probably the simplest mobile client with Matrix’s recent fast-startup feature (though it’s still catching up on other features). More clients are listed here.
Voice and video chat in Matrix are currently available only on some clients, and it’s done by integrating Jitsi. Not ideal, but still useful for at least some use cases. A better system is in development. Here’s a preview of it: call.element.io
Matrix.org is by far the largest public homeserver. It’s convenient in that anyone can get an account without having to run their own homeserver, but it can also suffer slowdowns when an influx of users are arriving all at once, such as right now. You can choose to be patient, or look for a different public homeserver, or pay for a homeserver host, or (if you have the means) self-host.
Matrix.org and some other public homeservers ask for an email address when you sign up, so that they have a way to recover your account if you forget your password. It’s not required by The Matrix protocol, though, and some servers might allow new accounts with no contact info at all. I don’t know which ones; you’ll have to hunt for one (or run your own) if that’s what you want.
The blog post mentions account portability, which is not yet available in Matrix. This means that your user ID (@user:example.com) is currently tied to the homeserver where you create it (example.com). If you decide to switch to an account on another homeserver, you’ll have to get re-invited into any private chats you had joined with the old account. However, the rooms you create on your original homeserver are not tied to that server. So long as at least one room member is on another homeserver, the room will carry on (with its original ID) even if its original homeserver vanishes. This means, for example, that you could create a room on matrix.org today, and migrate its admin duties to an account on your own private homeserver that you set up a year from now. (Or even invite all your members to migrate to your private homeserver.)

My TTRPG groups use Matrix for text and Mumble for voice. It works well.
We don’t use video, so I can’t vouch for that. The Matrix client called Element currently does it using Jitsi, and there’s a new approach in development that will eventually be supported by more Matrix clients: call.element.io

Careful: Discord misuses the word “server” to mean community, so a lot of Discord users here might misunderstand, and think you just said the average Joe doesn’t need to set up a community. (Of course, I’m sure you actually mean he doesn’t need to set up his own homeserver instance, which is true.)

Matrix is buggy and doesn’t scale imo,
I don’t know what problems you found, but the biggest bugs I encountered in past years seem to be fixed, at least on recent clients. (Element X is recent, and I’ve seen praise for FluffyChat.)

I’m glad for that. I don’t want most of these things, but the translation feature is very useful, runs locally, and only activates when I click it.
