dnisdrybrry Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 For a good communication and better use of WhatsApp, I have this WhatsApp Plus modified version of WhatsApp which allows me to use WhatsApp feature in an even more amazing way and the best thing is I can use dual WhatsApp at the same time with different numbers.

ARx182 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I prefer to use the in-game voice chat when playing with my friends, but if not, I use Discord when gaming on my PC and Playstation Parties when gaming on my PS4. Both are useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Lately discord has been integrated in many other games too. So yeah the communication options are there which may mean some sort of deep integration with the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 i'm mostly chatting and rarely participating in a voice chat, as i see it pointless to be honest, i managed to improve my English thanks to writing in the main chat, made friends from that etc... voice chats in communities where i play are mostly filled with people that are ready to bully you for your accent :( Withywarlock and killamch89 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Exclusively via text, even though I love the sound of my own voice. Plus, being autistic, I have difficulty wording things verbally so writing will always be preferable. 9 minutes ago, Patrik said: i'm mostly chatting and rarely participating in a voice chat, as i see it pointless to be honest, i managed to improve my English thanks to writing in the main chat, made friends from that etc... voice chats in communities where i play are mostly filled with people that are ready to bully you for your accent 😞 I find it interesting you improved English via chatting in video games. Nice one! And don't let bullies get you down - being from England myself, we're not exactly a country full of pleasant accents and mannerisms which to use them. At least yours will be clearer than mine (Yorkshire accent), which sounds like I'm chewing a sock with a wasp in it. Patrik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wanted to try the old COD online chats, you'd be called everything on this earth and especially if you have a foreign accent. Patrik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syntax Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Discord or even throughback to IRC when it's needed for some retro based games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 IRC still exists in some of the apps. And there are people keeping it active. But the thing is that nomore people stay on those type of the chat rooms. Discord is replacing it. I wish discord adds the IRC support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Lately it's been through discord at a community I volunteer for. Since I got a decent gaming pc now, I've been mostly gaming on that, while my Xbox One has kind of sat dormant. Though my nephew has mostly been playing that. Anyway, discord these days, but before it, it was through private parties on xbox live with friends. Wish there was a way to combine an xbox live party into a discord voice channel. That'd be cool.

Shole Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I have a mic and use discord mostly. But I prefer in-game chat with unknown people 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
