@youhavecootie @ADHDForReal It's fun, trust me. At first it will seem hard and the patterns look like someone smashed their head into their keyboard, but once you get the feel for it, it's really relaxing!

@RonRonson79 @LaurakBuzz @PatrickWeekes Let's say you were writing a character who is of different background as yourself, wouldn't you want to have a few pairs of eyes that do know that background to see how well you've written elements of those backgrounds? Background consultants are used in all media, not just games

[Nova Maxima @NovaMaxima1]

@PasswordSuck2 @MarcusCVance And I think exploring this field of character options in a fantasy setting could be interesting, when accounting for magics. What kind of risks these changes of form pose, the power required to wield magics to alter ones own body like that etc. Doubt will see that here though :D

[Nova Maxima @NovaMaxima1]

@PasswordSuck2 @MarcusCVance Afaik trans people have been in Dragon Age for a good while! This is just the first time it's being offered as a player character choice. DA:O and DA:I both feature characters (albeit minor) who are not cis, and in the former at least, out right trans.

@Ivan98Mario @MarcusCVance You do realize choosing that path will probs lock out others? As is typical for RPG games with dialogue systems working on tags. Calling it more "fleshed out" before even knowing the full context nor the implications of the choice is shortsighted at best, malignant at worse.

@RonRonson79 @LaurakBuzz @PatrickWeekes Like any culture, the queer culture is not a monolith. People have varying experiences within a culture and how they interact with it, so bringing in more people of that sphere helps to flesh out those aspects. Which would make sense if people actually thought about it for a bit.

@heyitsmechrome @IntelDeadlock Quite common in Mobas!
Hero leads or DNA teams are typically the way to go, so a vision stays clear throughout development of a character. Interesting to note how quickly Hopoo has assumed this role, since they were brought on mere weeks ago.

@AnneDoll23579 @sadpirategirl @aelfred_D Finland representing!
Potatoes are quite common, so not sure why someone would say we don't eat them.
Many of our "traditional" dishes such as Lohikeitto or Karjalanpaisti are either served with or include potatoes.

[Nova Maxima @NovaMaxima1]

@daddyKrugman @AllyMalinenko Yeah, this is something the library network I work for is trying to solve with more self service options. With budgets and staffing cuts, we're trying to make the same amount of people stretch a bit further :p

[Nova Maxima @NovaMaxima1]

@Rhyfel4815 @AllyMalinenko One of the libraries I've worked at had a indoor fountain. The sound was driving everyone crazy, because everybody suddenly needed to pee😅
The fountain is still there, they've just stopped running water through it.

@Leekshooter @Dr_Whosthis @LilithLovett And for a more recent example: Speed Nova! When you reduced ability strength to a negative number, the Warframe Nova could instead of slowing, boost enemy speed. The devs turned this into a baked in feature in the latest patch, with actual scaling due to popularity!

[Nova Maxima @NovaMaxima1]

@bbbbbbksss @WarframeUpdates No.
These will be rewarded from the Steel Path Circuit rotation like the other Incarnon genesis weapons.

[Nova Maxima @NovaMaxima1]

@rebbford Any word on if and when we could get the nesxt Warframe soundtrack release? Duviri, Whispers, Dante and Jade Shadows all had fantastic music that I would love to get official releases on!

[Nova Maxima @NovaMaxima1]

@rebbford Any chance for a soundtrack release for Jade Shadow's and Dante Unbound? Both had fantastic music!

[Nova Maxima @NovaMaxima1]

@HybridSpektar @PaulTassi Engine debt, size issues and overall poor decisions back in Y1 that will forever haunt D2, with the only way to fix them is the nuclear option. Destiny could use a reset again to focus on the stuff that works.

[Nova Maxima @NovaMaxima1]

@cuppiocaek3 @GellatinsDennys @pcgamer Their publisher closed would be more apt way to say it. Digital Extremes killed their publishing arm completely, glad to see that the game is trying to recover from this though!

[Nova Maxima @NovaMaxima1]

@HLG_MrDGAF420 @playwayfinder This replaces the base game. They changed plans from an MMO to a single player/co-op title instead, to ensure they get a product out that will stand the test of time.

[Nova Maxima @NovaMaxima1]

@NotSpiffy1 @destinytrack Solar soul was confirmed to be coming in TFS along with the new Solar Super for Warlocks in the original TFS reveal.

[Nova Maxima @NovaMaxima1]

@ReboundProdigyy @VinityETH @GunsAndGamingUS @Bungie_Leaks Oh I agree with Destiny content being shit, but I want to discover that myself instead of the algorithm dropping it into my feed 2 weeks before it goes live, how is that hard to understand? And to re-iterate: The same goes for any game. Datamining is a scourge, let the devs cook.

[Nova Maxima @NovaMaxima1]

@ReboundProdigyy @GunsAndGamingUS @Bungie_Leaks I don't care if it's mid or not, let us at least have the option to decide for ourselves instead of it being thrust upon us weeks before it's due. Same goes for any game; Let us have surprises instead of just the "gib content plz" mentality.
