Windows XP had that vibe going for it yes

This is all custom UI. Nothing pictured is Windows-styling.

Ventrillo.

I miss Ventrillo sometimes.

I still have a ventrillo 3 server that I talk with friends all the time, because the GSM codec sounds so much better in vent than Discord does

Ventrilo one L not 2.

Wtf? We living in a simulation.. I literally was just searching on YouTube about xfire, trying to find a documentary about it or just any info about the rise and fall of it. Xfire was my shit back in the day

Yeah, the simulation revolves around you, gamer. Everyone else freezes until you walk into the room.

This program had huge security problems, people could get your IP and DDoS you. I used to do this when playing against my friends in Bad Company 2 when i was loosing lol.

Also you could do the same with skype.

Discord isn't really better if you ask me.

Lokomonster t1_je1rhm2 wrote on March 28, 2023 at 7:58 PM

yeah I know, Discord is still not much better, the only benefit it has is not a single user can get ur IP and DDoS you, still Chinese corporation and a fucking shitty UI.

Do you remember Roger Wilco? That was the first voip software me and my friends used.

Such a throwback. I miss Xfire.

Would be nice if Discord tracked playtime like Xfire did

Nostalgia clouds your memory. I loved xfire, then switched to teamspeak, and now discord. Every one was an improvement on the previous one.

Linking games to your Xfire and track play time.

Used to spemd so many hour playing free browser MMO's it was unreal.

I miss the days of Dark orbit

MilenaShadow t1_je5z9f7 wrote on March 29, 2023 at 5:31 PM

I miss Xfire... recording all my games timeplayed, chatting with my gaming friends. Ventrilo + Xfire and you were set in the 00's.
