I really have a love hate relationship with discord and I feel like it is a prime example of an application that should be "simple" but just seems far more complicated than it should be. Currently my biggest annoyance is for some reason every time I start a game, it also tries to access my Camera. Some people online are saying that it is because my webcam has a mic... but why is it trying to access my mic when I launch a game and discord is just sitting in the background?!? But at the same time I have a lot of friends and groups I game with on it, sometimes in voice chat. The convenience of it is really nice.
