should be some time. twitch doesn't seem to be able to figure out if they want to push their own discord clone or not - idk if that's a consequence of a failed bid on discord or anything

Twitch already has their discord clone, https://app.twitch.tv/download. Which is the old curse client that they bought

yes im very well aware of that and had just said that since the acquisition they have not done anything meaningful with it - no attempts to make it gain traction or anything. the entire use case of twitch client so far is to distribute 2 free garbage indie games twitch gave away. it's absolute garbage otherwise and it is 100% unclear if they hold on to it because they have identity crisis or because they failed to buy discord, and if they arent doing anything with it because, again, they have an identity crisis or are actually considering to buy discord, the defacto chat platform for twitch demographics that is fully integrated with the latter as far as anyone is concerned. there's like 3.5 people who don't want to watch twitch in browser and 100% of them will just run streamlink through their media player of choice

I, for one, welcome our new mouse overlords.

That's a phenomenally stupid idea, and it would be a massive strategic blunder for Microsoft. So yeah, looks like they're headed in that direction, huh?

I'd rather have this:

I already bought this and love it:

Using ARM is just another Windows RT blunder, until Microsoft finds a way to make x86 and ARM cross compatbility a mainstream thing, ARM netbooks are never going to catch on with Windows.
