Does anyone play...

Does anyone play without Skype? Does anyone play without voice? Does anyone play on Tuesdays? Does anyone play anything other than D&D and its knockoffs? Does anyone play in Mutants and Masterminds Third Edition? If so, give a shout out below.  Also, if anyone can please answer yes to all three odd numbered questions, just point me to where to sign up pretty please?
Just wanted to help if I can.  My computer is an older laptop, that does not meet the system requirements for skype.  But I found that if I run another program called Game Booster 3 from iobit  Link to Download  that I can run skype , chrome with roll20 going on, and have a few pdf files open all at the same time with very little issues.  I had the game booster software on my machine so I could run dragon age and stumbled on this happy effect for roll20 by mistake. Just hopeful that I can help you become John "Skype is Cool" T.   If it is not a performance issue then ignore everything and these are not the droids you are looking for.
Thank you.  It is not a performance issue.
Man i'd love to find a not DnD game. MnM is awesome. But...no skype?

I only use skype for general chatting aka ooc for my live game. Not required if you want to text. 2. I disabled the tokbox for my games. 3. I don't because of college. 4. I was looking into a possible western game. 5. I've seen listings but I don't.
Eric, your mileage will vary, as for me, indeed, no skype, no ventrilo, no teamspeak.  I am not willing to install more software at this time. Metroknight, I have yet to find a game on roll20.net that wants to text, I disabled the tokbox for my other browser and can't figure out how to allow it again.  Tuesdays are my currently most free night of the week for playing MnM3e, I do not know of many western games, nice talking to you Metroknight, see you around.

No problem. Have you looked into play by posting? I have a D&D styled play by post game here and it is running very good. All my players like it and if you find or build a group that post regularly in a daily manner, it runs fast for that style of game. My group has already faced alligators, giant frogs, a giant spider, and started to explore the old fortress ruins where they tracked the missing children to. They also know there is something hiding inside the ruins but what it is they have yet to discover.
To play online without voice chat would be a disaster. 
Meh we used to play online all the time before voice chat or mapping software was a thing....BBS and IRC games FTW.  Tabletop was envisioned in your imagination.  Hell in our home games we didnt start using miniature until 3rd edition lol.  
This (points to above) Old School MUD for the win. :)
