Haha, do you know/remember if Graham McTavish used the same swear alternative when recording Bangar's "MOTHERF-"?

I don't, but I bet it sounded great!

That's

so much weirder

then, if this isn't intended, since the "bug" would be swapping out a single audio file from a years-old story chapter lmao

Stranger things have happened. We once had an NPC say, "I'm getting too old for this sh*t!" make its way live. That was a fun bug to hotfix.

Thank you for preventing what would have been a real clusterf*ck for us over here.

Do I need to grab the bar of soap, son?

The FX are "baked" into the voice file, so it's probably a case of import error. (But a true audio professional will investigate. I'm just theorizing.) But yeah, when we're in the studio we have the actors say a goofy swear in case something like this happens. LOL

Thanks for the heads up. Bugged it and sent it along to the right folks to look into.

OK, now we need them to play bass, drums, and horns. :D

TBH I have raided on Steam Deck. Did it for Extra Life back in November. :)

That makes me feel relieved for proton/steamdeck and the new CEF update, if the steamdeck is already being used by devs. :) (Which one did you get? It's a nifty thing, but I think I'm saving up to upgrade my video card/cpu instead.)

I got the 512GB model, but I'm pretty sure it works on all of them! I did pick up a 1TB microSD card for additional storage, but I installed GW2 on the internal nvme drive.

Enjoying it a ton, actually! Been using a community template that one of our QA embeds made (SamCW's soulslike) since it uses the triggers and buttons for skills and uses face buttons or the bottom buttons to "shift" skills. Been playing my warrior on Deck since it's less complex to play than my ele.

So, even though Deck is technically unsupported currently it works pretty well IMO. I've limited frames to 45 to conserve battery life, and in most cases will get 30-45, except in busy fights or really elaborate environments with lots of...

I play the game every night. Only do raids and fractals on special occasions. Mostly do open world stuff, metas, story, etc. since it's casual friendly and easy on steam deck.

There are actually a lot of devs who play the game but some choose not to tag up, and others may play on alt accounts. We're in there.

Rama's other hats?

I am insanely jealous.

Nice!

That's a role with pretty good pay. Looks like you guys are trying to attract top talent for this project. Excited to hear about it!

That's the hope! Note that I'm not the hiring manager but would likely interface with this person a bit.

Also of note: the salary range of any job posting coming out of WA state typically represents the bottom and top of a band, and the final agreed upon rate is determined by a variety of factors including years of experience, cost of living, etc. that will fall within those two numbers. Just something to keep in mind when applying.

That's kind of interesting? Like, why would they accept someone working remote from NC but not SC? MA but not NH or VT?

West Coast only would make sense, (time zones, easy to travel if required), but if they open it to East Coast states, why only those?

Note: I am not an HR professional or a lawyer so if you want to know more you should consult a professional. But here's how I understand it. The TL;DR is that local/state labor laws vary from place to place, so a company has to navigate those issues to be compliant to be able to hire people who live there but work remotely for a company headquartered elsewhere. We previously could only hire in WA, CA, and TX but have expanded to more states.

Very nice!

lol

I'm biased, but Joe & co. did a heroic job bringing S1 back. Super proud of them.

That's awesome.

Now we'll have to crash an airship there to stand in for a sunken X-Wing...

So you know what Anet did? Retroactively decided Scarlet was a Mordy villain all along. I will die on this hill. Short of an Anet member coming to me and telling me this was the plan all along, well... I still wouldn't believe them. Adding Mordy at the end was to save face and satisfy the players. That's why none of the sh*tball that was LS1 made sense.

No, her being an agent of Mordy all along was always part of the plan, hence Omadd's machine and all the elements leading up to the reveal at the end of S2. S1 was a lot of things back in 2013--frantically paced, hard to follow, and somewhat of a player-facing mystery at first. But we ended essentially where we planned to from the start, though some of the details morphed along the way due to scoping, scheduling, feedback, and an 11th hour decision to not kill off a particular character.

I've been using SamCW's Souls-like layout, but there are a ton of user made ones I haven't tried yet. Hopefully you'll find something to your liking!
