garyk49: And Paul, I am on the fence where games should not have their own Discord Server. Us old farts don't necessarily go along with all these newfangled changes.
Paul, Steph, Nico, and all. I may have misspoken here. It is not on the fence of should not, but on the fence of I don't care if they have one.
Even at my age (almost 74) I still game, but at a more leisurely pace.(as here) I belong to Steam, Origin, and Uplay, have games on all three, I amaze myself sometimes at the amount of games on cd, and DVDs that are here. What I don't do, because in most cases, as it is too hectic or fast paced for me is play in Multiplayer on these games. I play only the Single player portion, as I can play as fast or as slow as I desire.
Where that changed was in this game. I could now play Multiplayer and meet new people. Am I good at this game? Short answer is NO. Can I have fun with this game? I used to be able to. Did WGT change that for me? Short answer is YES. Do I think the problem is the NEW VERISON? Not Exactly. WGT missed the mark, when the new verison was brought out, they ignored then and they still do today,(or appear to) the social aspect of this game. It has been mentioned the number of cell phone users here. Yes there are many. They don't have time in their made up world, to play more then a couple of minutes. Cell phones and tablets have replaced us old timers on our computers. I understand smart cell phones are the new computers and are the new technology, trust me I understand. Now Discord is something new for us to figure out.
I have tried to embrace this new technology and use it to the best of my ability. But that is not good enough. I sometimes leave the house and have to come back in as I forgot to take my phone with me, just in case. Unlike younger people of today, that phone is a part of them. Hell I still have problems locating a photo I just took!
We, the older generation, resist change, but do know that it is for the better. Hell what we see today, used to be science fiction in our past. As noted from different books read, or even just episodes of Outer Limits, or the Twilight Zone.
I guess us older generation just needs to go quietly away,(or play as best as out ability allows us to) as WGT is trying to evolve at a much faster pace than we are able to adapt to.
And, Steph, I am beyond carbon paper and typewriters(tho there is one here, from my days of working on them), but as Paul mentioned, word to me is only a place to write and excel confuses the hell out of me. And I used to be very good with Math.
