I didn’t ignore it, but I did have to put up with it for months:
Discord would just never recognize that my PC was being left idle, so I would never get notifications on my phone, which constantly left me gaslighting myself into thinking my friends were ignoring me, or just didn’t have any reason to message me all day.
I contacted Discord support at least once over it, and they couldn’t do anything to help me figure it out, since I had all my settings set properly to have it switch over to mobile notifications after 1 minute of inactivity.
After a shit ton of googling, I found out that certain devices, namely third-party xbox controllers, could cause a PC to never actually go idle, and then I found a tool to help me check if my PC is idle, started unplugging things one-by-one, and found out that my 8bitdo Arcade controller was the thing keeping my PC from going idle.
The issue popped up with an etsy-bought Guitar Hero controller further down the line as well, but thankfully by then I knew how to troubleshoot the issue. Bonus points, my new fighting game controllers don’t have this problem.
And the default of chili, mustard, and onions is pretty un-fuck-with-able. If I wind up going to get my hair cut tomorrow, I could go for a couple double dogs on my way out.
