This is 1. not true, as shortwavesurfer says and 2. not an equivalent comparison. This would be like saying that mastodon doesn't talk to glitch or pleroma. But they do, so even if this comparison was equivalent, it'd be false.

Stop using Discord.
I have installed the CEMU Wii U emulator on real Arch and run Wind Waker with it. Maybe look into that if you want the Wii U controls? I haven't tried it on the Deck, but given it runs on vanilla Arch, it's theoretically possible :D
Glad to have woman playing.
Just one? Guess it's fitting given you're on lemmy.one :P
RIP Satoru Iwata, the least bad gaming CEO. Dude actually took a pay cut when Nintendo wasn't doing well.
"God" has a lot to do with it, yes.
People like the BBC, yes, exactly.
All indies all the time. I have been thoroughly sick of "AAA" games (and the industry itself) since the switch to 3D. Spelunky HD / 2, the new TMNT, Streets of Rage 4, Neuro Voider, Stardew Valley, and on and on. Also old console games because it's always morally okay to emulate games on old consoles. Related, it's always morally okay to pirate Nintendo's games.
It's surreal, isn't it? I grew up with nethack and angband and moria (also on FreeBSD) and now I play games normal people have heard of!
As OneRedFox says, it's all about the UX. From the perspective of your average gamer, IRC has awful UX. I know that speedrunning, romhacking, and other gaming subcommunities have used / still use IRC, but they're very much on the technical side of gamers. Discord is a lot friendlier to the average gamer (I know, I know, it's Electron and proprietary and shit for reasons besides those two, but consider your average console CoD player here). I still like IRC, too, though I'd love to see it evolve a little more quickly. IRCv3 is nice but my goodness, how long have they been working on it?
More Spelunky 2. It is my current roguelike hyperfixation. I never get very far, but that's not the point.
No stranger than Doom and Animal Crossing.

A worrying trend in recent social software platforms is that you can't block people. Slack, Teams, Discord (not really, it still shows you that people you block say things, which defeats the point), so many of these garbage social platforms (... all Electron-based) don't let you block people. Even Discourse doesn't have a block feature. They all just assume that everyone gets along.
