Instant Messenger

What IM programs do people use these days? I’m mostly Google Hangouts/chat nowadays, myself. It’s hooked up to my iPhone (thing that didn’t exist since I last wrote here: iPhones) so it’s always on, like some kind of warning about constant connectivity from science fiction.

AIM: Jay 2K Winger
MSN/Skype: jay_winger_2k@hotmail.com
YIM: jay_winger2000
Google: scionhomebrew
Twitter: @Jay2KWinger

The Google one requires a slight explanation. I have a Google account for myself, but I try to keep it and my Jay Winger identity separate. I created the scionhomebrew@gmail.com account as a thing to compile stuff for a homebrew RPG with a friend. The homebrew never got off the ground, but the account still lives.

I use kik for my sexy times. So if anyone wants in, hit me up.

Otherwise, I’m open to any program. I haven’t uses hangouts but if that’s the most convenient, I’ll learn it.

OH, duh, I also got Steam. I’m texside on both (some things never change).

Okay, I added Hangouts. aarakon is mine on there. I don’t know how this works, and I’m scared.

gchat as mjlemay@gmail.com, I still have aim thinklikemike, but I don’t use it much.

My friends also like to use Slack, which is essentially an irc type client. if anyone is interested in that we can start a group on there.

I… just… … god dammit, Spoon.

AIM: MaceScen (as always)
Skype: Sixheadeddog

You know, I was just thinking the other day how we would handle having Powwows. I guess we have a couple options.

I still use pidgin, which I log into with my ancient aol-then-aim account, but I guess it can send and receive from google talk and whatever too? It’s all very confusing. All I know is sometimes when I IM people (like Tex), replies go to pidgin but also show up in my gmail tab, on my phone in the google talk app, etc etc.

My account name on steam is faits, but the display name is currently set to ‘not very good at video games’

We should probably pick one, and whatever is easiest for setting up group discussions, ideally with a decent mobile interface/app.

I accepted a steam friend request from someone named “torched” because they had tex as a friend, but I have no idea who it is. WHO ARE YOU

also tex why won’t you be my steam friend ugh

I’ll be your steam friend, Jerry!.. only, I’m barely on steam. And don’t have many steam games. Mostly I use steam to play Broforce with Mike.

That’s me.

Steam <— ComTrav
Gmail <— TJRumans@gmail.com

Oops it didn’t pop. I added Jerry 'nd sent a friend requesty thing to Travis.

MATT, TELL ME OF YOUR STEAM.

DITTO MIKE.

Mike’s account name is “mikeplays” and his display name is mertie. Dustin is drkittelson (both account and display.)

Err… I think both my steam account name and display name are Sixheadeddog. If not, just search for my gmail (manta928 at gmail) … unless that’s not how steam works, in which case, when I get home later tonight I will figure it out and post an update.

(like I said, I only use steam for Broforce. With my bros)

I feel like I’m falling into a rabbit hole, so I think I’m going to stop and get back to work.

There’s no sixheadeddog on steam, but when I typed “manta928” in, it did come up with an account. That person has played broforce, but not since last fall. They seem to like playing garry’s mod more. They also have only one friend, insanetalldwarf, who has played broforce more recently (february), and with whom I have one friend in common: mike.

In conclusion, everyone is probably matt, and also they were ghosts all along. The end.

Oh, yes, did I forget to mention I played a lot of Garry’s Mod (especially after I installed that plugin that lets you have a dragon from Skyrim fight against stormtroopers and nazi soldiers?)
