Discord

Discord is pretty much the place to be if you want to hang out with friends, join communities or keep up with your favorite games and creators. It's a messaging platform built around servers, where you can chat through text channels, exchange files, make voice and video calls and even stream your screen. Whether you're coordinating a gaming session, sharing memes or just spending way too much time chatting, there's literally a server for anything. Of course, Discord hasn't exactly had the smoothest time lately with its fair share of controversies along the way, but love it or hate it, it's still a pretty big part of internet culture. And while the platform has official apps for most modern devices, the Nintendo 3DS was unfortunately left out of the party. Well, not anymore!

TriCord is an unofficial Discord client, bringing a surprisingly capable messaging experience to our little handheld. You can log in using a QR code or your email and password, browse your servers, channels and forum threads, send messages with emoji and see embeds, reactions and replies. It even supports multiple accounts, custom themes and different languages. However, don't expect the full Discord experience: TriCord is primarily a text based client, so voice and video calls, screen sharing and other features aren't part of the package. Performance can also be a little rough on old 3DS systems and having too many servers can cause problems when loading your server list.

Now, about safety, I personally inspected TriCord's source code while working on a translation, and I can confirm that the application is safe and contains nothing suspicious, by contrast, it encrypts the file containing your login info so that no one but you can access the account. That said, it's still an unofficial client, so nobody can promise that Discord will never take action against your account. Just use it normally and by that I mean, don't be a weirdo. And hey, since you're already getting Discord on your 3DS, why not come join my server too?

Greetings, valued patrons and dedicated community members, Quasartico Inc. is pleased to announce our return to regular operations following the recent digital archive incident that required specialized intervention. We are aware the previous updates were rather dramatic, in any case, we extend our sincere appreciation for your patience and fortitude during the recent digital archive situation. Regarding the status of affected archives: Sector M remains offline and will require additional restoration efforts before it can be made available to users. Sector F, however, has been successfully secured and will be fully restored within days following this update's deployment. In additional Thread news, the HYLIAN THREAD has received a structural maintenance update. While it do not include new content additions, all existing injects have been reviewed and updated where necessary. More notably, both Threads now feature remarkable technical developments worth highlighting. In the HYLIAN THREAD, the Breath of the Wild port is now playable on actual hardware (New 3DS models only) thanks to the dedicated efforts of its developer. This month's thematic focus is designated as mobile software. This category encompasses titles originally designed for portable platforms that have since been adapted or made compatible with our supported systems. In community news, we are pleased to acknowledge that our Discord server has now reached its second anniversary, mirroring the milestone achieved by this platform earlier in the year. To commemorate this occasion, we have introduced a selection of new self-assignable roles, allowing members to customize their server presence according to their interests and preferences. We invite all server members to explore these new options at their convenience. We must also address a matter of operational adjustment. Users may have noticed that weekly releases for both the Library and Theater have ceased. We acknowledge this development may be disappointing to some. However, we have determined, as we have noted since last year, that maintaining a weekly release cadence for these content verticals is not sustainable in the long term. The resource allocation required for consistent media injections has proven to significantly delay our core game release schedule which, we presume, remains the primary reason the majority of you continue to visit this platform. On a related note, our Theater contributor Zack has informed that he is currently managing an ongoing chronic health concern and has resumed academic responsibilities that require his full attention. He wishes to emphasize that he has not abandoned his work and still finds fulfillment in creating and sharing content with the community. We at Quasartico Inc. deeply value the effort Zack has consistently brought to the 3DS community in general and we fully support his need to prioritize his health and studies. An indefinite timeline has been established for his return and both updates and requests will remain on hold until such time as he is able to resume. Finally, we wish to note that this communication falls near October due to its extended deployment timeline. However, for historical accuracy, this platform has never released new content in October and this year will be no exception. No new content deployments will occur this month. We look forward to returning with actual content and our next scheduled communication in November.
