General discussion thread for how to deal with the loneliness issues that tend to creep up as one advances further down this path. The usual etiquette of Ecosphian discussions apply here.

D&D

[randomactsofkarmasc]

We had a fun online D&D group during quarantine. We used Roll20 and D&DBeyond for the actual game play, but used Discord instead of Zoom. You can have audio-chat and typing-chat (I'm sure they have real names... I don't know what they are, though) at the same time. I had great fun finding memes to post in the Discord chat when I wasn't actively hacking and slaying. (And if you set up a group is Discord, it keeps the chat, so it was a convenient way to post reminders about where you were or what you were doing and such.) (Zoom might do all that, too, though. I just haven't used it enough to know.)

Yeah if I do this it's probably going to be on Discord. That's where I pretty much do most of my hanging out online now, besides these blogs.
