Ah, sorry. Pastrami with cheese, then.

Discord is surprisingly good for a program that iirc is still technically in alpha. (It might have gone into beta since I started using it, though?)

I'd recommend Discord if you ever try it out. Way better than Skype.

Does make you sound like John de Lancie?  Can you warp reality with it?  Does it make you friends with Fluttershy?

Can playing video games help Grace build up her magic power?
I don't think she uses any Uryuom power to stomp turtles...

She don't use magic power for that either.

People seem to love unauthorised 3rd party addons for things, so there's probably a voice filter out there somewhere for the correct pitch and tone, but you would need to learn the speech mannerisms yourself.

Hmm. Let's answer these in order:

1. I don't believe so.
2. The call quality is so good I suspect it might do this by default. (Seriously, there's normally so little static and background noise that my friends and I often have to do checks to see if someone's there if they haven't spoken in a while).
3. Unfortunately not. She seems like she'd be a fun person to hang out with.

Discord is new enough that I suspect this hasn't happened yet. It was in alpha when I picked it up late last year, and I suspect it's still in alpha, though I can't find anything saying such.

Give it time...

I don't use voice in games, but I do use Discord and listen in. Of the dozens of audio services I've used, it is perhaps the most effective. Vocal quality is reasonable, bandwidth is reasonable, updates keep rolling in.

 

I heart Splatoon.

That's right.

Pinball players can be wizards.  Not Videogame players.

No... He's more an anthropomorphic version of Q, just with actual limits to his powers, not... whoever that is.

Sheesh, kids these days have no respect for the classics.  Good on them.

HAIL ERIS!

Discord, I'm howling at the moon! And sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon!

I'm not a fan of puppeteers but I've a nagging fear,
someone else is pulling at the strings...
Something terrible is going down through the entire town,
wreaking anarchy and all it brings.
