#BetterDiscord - Animated playing status plugin
Rumor has it that a recent update throttles playing status updates to 5 per minute. Procede at your own risk.
This BetterDiscord plugin allows you to customize (and animate) your playing status in Discord.
##Step 1

##Step 2
- Download the file animatedGame.plugin.js included with this gist. This is the plugin itself.
- Place it in
%appdata%\Roaming\BetterDiscord\Plugins
- %appdata% might be different between machines. The path above will likely be
C:\Users\<yourUsername>\AppData\BetterDiscord\Plugins
orC:\Users\<yourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\BetterDiscord\Plugins
- If you are on a mac, this is probably somewhere in
~Library/Preferences
,~Library/Application Support

##Step 3
- Restart Discord
- You need to do a hard shutdown of Discord. When you close the window, Discord may still be running in the background. Kill it

##Step 4
- Enable the plugin
- In Discord... Settings > BetterDiscord > Plugins, the plugin "Animated Game" should be listed. Check the checkbox. Press the settings cogwheel next to the checkbox to set your custom game!
