Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Bring back 3rd party dedicated servers

[–] Deadend@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I want to host my own server.

People love Minecraft for this.

By the people for the people.

There's still old games from 20+ years ago that have niche communities alive because of dedicated servers.

Meanwhile some live game these days might be dead forever after a few years.

I grew up playing unreal tournament 2004 and afaik there are still servers up 20 years later

There was a dude I worked with a few years back who's from south Korea talking about playing Unreal in internet cafes when he was a teen and there's a pretty decent chance he absolutely destroyed me a couple times 20 years before we met.

The lack of server browser in modern games is definitely contributing to my unhappiness
