It does have profanity with the game announcer, but you can disable that by turning of the "In-Game Announcer" in the settings. You can also set it to 11 different languages including "Brazilian Portuguese" if that does not work.

Deep Rock Galactic is a 1-8 player objective-based co-op FPS featuring space Dwarves mining for resources, 100% destructible environments, procedurally-generated caves, and endless hordes of alien monsters. We have a mod that will allow us to expand above 8 players and adjust the difficulty/resources just like the L4D2 mod does that we use. We will meet in the Community Night channel in Discord to coordinate a host. Make sure to do or start and skip the introduction tutorial if you have never done it so that you do not have to do that when you join!

Prepare for Winter WAN Party: Battlefield 3 @ 3:00 PM Eastern Sat Jan 24
Posted on Tuesday January 13, 2026
The next game to show up in our schedule of events for our winter WAN party taking place next Saturday January 24 is Battlefield 3 starting at 3:00 PM Eastern. The game will be on a private server called [OSF] LAN Party, which should show up in the server browser, with the password foliage and will have bots to supplement real players. If we do not have enough of us to make it fun versus one another, we can stack a team with bots and play coop against the bots. You will need to have Battlefield 3 Premium edition (linked below) and Venice Unleashed (instructions linked below) installed to find and join our server. There is in-game voice communication, but we will use Discord as usual to coordinate and socialize. You can buy it below for $20 or as an alternative sign up for EA Play for one month for $1 which would also give you access to Titanfall 2, Star Wars Battlefront 2, and Battlefield V which both will be played during our WAN party and then cancel it at the end of the month. Note that you should test that you can login with Venice Unleashed and get to the VU server browser prior to Saturday! Even though I had played the game in the past 6 months at the LAN or some other time, I had to reactivate the game with the link provided by installing Venice Unleashed.
Battlefield 3 Premium Edition ($20)

You need only have it installed from STEAM as any maps that are not included with the game will be downloaded automatically. If you want to download these ahead of time to avoid taking up LAN bandwidth and waiting to join when a map changes, you can search for the collection in the STEAM workshop called "OSF CS2 LAN Server Workshop Maps" and click the "Subscribe to all" button on the collection page to have them all downloaded ahead of time.

There is in-game chat for this game to use for team-oriented coordination, but we will use the Discord lobby to coordinate and socialize. Unfortunately, Valve saw fit not to make it easy to password-protect the server, but we do have rudimentary admin should the need arise for it.

One is in campaign mode which we will only be available on community nights. You can join this server at kramerika.ddnsfree.com:7777 or with invite code, D-HZ7TVR-M4TJZG, and the password, foliage. We also have a server running 24/7 in sandbox mode that you can join at any time using the invite code, D-YF3CTS-C8YVWQ. If we have too many players for the campaign server on community night, the late-comers can fill the sandbox server as well. Your character is maintained the same on either server.

Prepare for Winter WAN Party: Sea of Thieves or Zero-K @ 8:30 PM Eastern Fri Jan 23
Posted on Saturday January 10, 2026
Our winter WAN party is set to kick off in two weeks on Friday night January 23. It will continue during the afternoon and evening of Saturday January 24. The first games to show up in the schedule will be Sea of Thieves or Zero-K. This is the only time that we will have multiple choices for games knowing that those who play the two games do not crossover much. The plan is for these games to be played Friday night starting around 8:30 PM Eastern although it would be good for anyone planning to play Sea of Thieves to be available around 8:00 to start matching ships.
For Zero-K, you can download the game for FREE from STEAM.
Buy ($0):https://store.steampowered.com/app/334920/ZeroK/
For Sea of Thieves, we will attempt to get as many ships as needed for us all to play on the same server. If you do not own the game, you can buy it at the link below on STEAM or try it with Xbox Game Pass for $1:
Buy ($40): https://store.steampowered.com/app/1172620/Sea_of_Thieves/

Because we are playing two different games, this will also be the only time that we will be in separate Discord channels for the WAN party. Join the game channel.

Game: Sea of Thieves
Time: 9:00 PM Eastern (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific)
Sea of Thieves is a PC and Xbox One action/adventure game that allows cross play between the two where you form a crew of up to 4 and sail around looking for treasure and having other adventures. If we have more than 4, we will split into several crews. We will make a attempts to match on the same server together with multiple ships at the start, so try to be there on time for this purpose. In order to maximize our odds of getting more than one ship on the same server, please download the Fleet Creator andWindscribeVPN client, sign up for a free account with both, and have them installed and ready to use for these nights. Fleet Creator allows us to see if we connected to the same server easier. Our private lobby uses this code: xKeYI6pWPPdwAV18. Windscribe aids in getting us on the same network and is easy to use and gives you 10 GBs of free data each month.
Make sure to check the game on the Microsoft store app prior to community night to see if there is an update that needs to be downloaded/installed by the store app! Also, if you buy the game through the Microsoft store on either the PC or Xbox, you can install and play it on both the PC and Xbox One simultaneously. You can try it for a month for $1. See below.
