Discord, a magical place for gamers. Young and old, everyone has their own space there. And yet Discord is nothing more than an instant messaging service.
Do you know this software that has changed the lives of many players?
Discord is more than just a simple piece of software. It gives you the ability to create a virtual 'salon', the latter lets you communicate in two different ways. The first, with text messages, a bit like MSN, or Caramail for those of us who are older. The other option offered by Discord to chat with friends is through 'vocals', in audio, spoken, 'talking' to keep it simple. A bit like TeamSpeak, but free.
As you can see, Discord did nothing more than reinvent the wheel, but it distributed it for free, and above all its wheel uses less energy than those offered by the competition. You don't need a war machine and a blazing connection to run Discord.
This is what makes Discord strong: the software runs without consuming a lot of resources on your computer, so you can play while using Discord without in-game performance being affected. It is thanks to this big detail that Discord has managed to become a must-have for players.
In the beginning, they could play cooperatively while talking live.
Then more and more users realized the software's potential, especially its 'community' aspect.
Originally, Discord brought together communities of players to allow them to communicate during their online games. Since the servers are private, not everyone can enter as in a free-for-all. To join a server, it's as simple as being invited by someone who is already a member through a link.
More and more Discord servers open, but not all of them revolve around video games or player communities. There are many YouTube and Streamer communities where fans gather to talk about this and that. They use the service as a public space.
Discord has been so successful that the platform launched a Premium service, 'Discord Nitro'. This service unlocks many features for your server and gives you access to a catalog of games, a bit like Blacknut, except the games must all be downloaded, which takes up a lot of space on your hard drive.
To discuss a topic, Discord is so convenient that Blacknut opened a server. We’re waiting for you there so you can swap stories about your favorites and experiences, but also to chat with the Blacknut team, so don't hesitate to drop by and say hi!
