Hang on a sec, I nearly spewed my half-finished iced tea after reading that! Who on earth mentioned Windows servers :D? Our backend is completely containerized and operates on Alpine Linux. You could even run the server on a toaster if you're up for it!
Appreciate the kind feedback. So, regarding the slogan, we've actually grown quite fond of it. It doesn't suggest piracy in any way; it simply refers to games from alternative sources, like your DVD collection or a developer's website.
Fuck, really? Now I feel like an idiot. Thanks for making me aware. Still praying for a Linux client, NixOS doesn't play too well with things outside the Nix ecosystem. Maybe I can contribute to the Linux efforts when I gain the proper skills.
Fair enough, hopefully it doesn't lead to any fuss with the big corpos if this project grows to a decent size. Gaming is pretty untouched in the self-hosted world, who knows what'll happen. It's pretty exciting tbh.
Off topic, is there any chance you guys can create a Matrix space and bridge it with the Discord? I'd love to chat, but I really am trying to move away from Discord.
We'll check Matrix out, and if we do bridge it, you'll definitely hear about it in the blog :)
Awesome! Just to explain a bit, Matrix is a FOSS and decentralized chat protocol that's more feature rich than XMPP, but also younger and less mature. It's more popular than XMPP at the moment, and has a lot of nice and modern clients to pick from. I hope it can serve your team well if you guys decide to pick it up.
