You can sign upto the playtest

You won't be able to get into this one... since it's running and people have been selected. But maybe the next if you're lucky

[scenic gull]

okay

You don't as that breaks NDA, just as writing that comment does. All information you need is in your emails. Message @crystal niche with any other issues!

Lol

[lucid crag]

brother, stop talking about it lol

[mossy trench]

💀

[gleaming peak]

Good morning again

[visual oracle]

good morning nik

[tacit trail]

Look in game... I'm assuming they wouldn't not have some sort of controls section.

But if you read the email, you'd know exactly where to go about what you need to know

Everything people have come in here to ask regarding the PT, could have been self trouble shooted by just reading

Regardless... it cannot be spoken about here. As it's a breach of the NDA that you agreed to

Just make sure you look in-game. There will more than likely be clear explanations for what you need to know

[lethal plaza]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

[tacit trail]

Then I'm assuming you have not read your emails properly

[sudden warren]

Lmao

[tacit trail]

In this case... It's not EA

It's user error

But that's enough chat about it here for

The official, premium Coach Frank Bot is on duty.

[tacit trail]

Any other day I'm sure it would have been haha

[dull pilot]

[sudden warren]

Frankbot woo!

[vale anchor]

Shame you can't have a custom bot PFP. I looked into it and if you have premium you can change the PFP for Dyno but it's only a few selected different colors of the default bot icon, no option to upload your own.

[ashen flume]

you got bamboozled buddy

[scenic gull]

new bot indeed works

[ashen flume]

i'm telling you, soon they'll be onto world domination

[dull pilot]

I may have found a way to autoclean bot messages. We'll know in 28 minutes.

[pallid blade]

cool cool cool

[ashen flume]

(hiding evidence :p )

[dull pilot]

Set an automessage to post every 30 minutes to clean bot messages using / clean. It will work or it will randomly post the word clean.

[dull pilot]

FROM WHO? lol

[ashen flume]

bots going on world domination :p

[dull pilot]

I don't know what you're talking about. does.. not .. compute.

Will the giveaway skateboards / controller ever be available for purchase outside of the giveaway in the future

[scenic gull]

I really hope so. That controller looks so good

[knotty yew]

i want the board so bad

[scenic gull]

Im blessed , i have a board. Ill never skate it and ill never sell it

Luckily i have other items i would sell off first for good money if were to fall on hard times, i dont judge anyone who has to sell

[knotty yew]

[scenic gull]

Hopefully , maybe there will be special pre order deluxes with physcial items

Thps 1+2 did this with an exclusive birdhouse decl

[knotty yew]

i dont think the times will work to well with that unless it costs a lot more

[cobalt dust]

pov: my local skateshop not buying new decks every month

big L however i support them for being the only one nearest of my house

[vale anchor]

How cool would it be to get a birdhouse deck with your copy of skate‽

[scenic gull]

I would take it ! I hope skate. can do some sort of pre order special

[tacit trail]

Yeah, I’d be on there day one for that deck special edition to go with my THPS 1+2 deck. If I can’t win one, I’ll buy one!

But, now I play Skate 3 and enjoy my night lol

[serene peak]

[dull pilot]

Yep.

[sudden warren]

Same!!

[sudden warren]

That's sick how was that

[gleaming peak]

It was really nice lol

My brother is the personal trainer for the store called Welcome

[waxen apex]

Got my roof redone today. Those dudes were so dang fast and it went well

[gleaming peak]

I walked in and the guy said, "oh so this must be the ea skate addict" LMFAO

[sudden warren]

LOL you're known!

And nice kaiza! Always nice to know it's a newer roof lol. Such a pain

[gleaming peak]

I mean, the skate shop knows me because I play Skate. But, nothing else

[worthy rune]

is that a good or bad thing

[sudden warren]

[boreal raven]

It's been super hot outside today finally able to relax and play a couple games for a bit. 😅 Hope you all are having a wonderful day so far. ❤️🤙

Dude, it's SO hot in Long Beach. (Yes, I know it's hotter elsewhere, but it actually feels like The Valley mid-day.)

[boreal raven]

Hell yeah bro totally relatable I actually live in Washington State but it felt like I was back in Phoenix Arizona.😅

[dull pilot]

ooof.

[vale oak]

I have a question about an email I received from EA im confused about, who can I contact?

[dull pilot]

If it’s from the Playtesting team, you can reply to the email but not discuss it here or publicly.

[vale oak]

Could I message you about it real quick? I tried to reply but it stated the email was blocked

[sudden warren]

Hope yall had a great pizza pie Friday!

[dull pilot]

It is my birthday today

Wait 2006 is 17 years ago now ?

[worthy spade]

Happy Birthday Seari

17 definitely not old

👴

[sacred latch]

hello people

im back in my discord era

[scenic gull]

Got an email about a survey for skate, I click on it and it tells me:" This survey is not accepting additional responses at this time. Thank You!" Welp cool it's been fun I guess.

[gleaming peak]

Hi

[scenic gull]

ay peeps

[scenic gull]

yo

[sudden warren]

Happy birthday @scenic nova ! Enjoy the weekend!

[scenic gull]

Same for me! According to the CM,
For some reason some surveys got sent out late, but they were for the July Playtest which has already closed.. ikik, i also got false hope

[zenith sand]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

[sudden warren]

Hope yall have a great Saturday!

[scenic gull]

Hahah when i was 17 i thought i was “old” too.
Now at 27 i realize how silly young that is

[dull pilot]

Surveys weren’t for the playtest. They were just surveys. But they were ended due to tech issues and once addressed, will resume. Keep an eye on your inbox.

[dull pilot]

Legit didn’t plan on living past 27 (wild life). Was a vocalist in a band inspired by NIN, APC, Tool, Alice In Chains. When I turned 27, guitarist made me promise to not die and be a “rock n roll cliché”. So I didn’t.

[scenic gull]

Oh ok! Glad to know about that survey situation cleared up

[dull pilot]

At 45, I’m loving the possibilities of the future.

[scenic gull]

I feel you.. i was young but that wild phase for me was “not seeing past 19”

Im glad to be rocking it today 🤘

[dull pilot]

I’m glad you are as well.

[scenic gull]

Same to you, and now youre with the dream company and job

Life has a funny way of working out sometimes

[worthy spade]

30 this year an still alive WOO

[sudden warren]

Sounds like my kinda band, reunion time!

[scenic gull]

i'm 18 in a few months, where does the time go

[cedar violet]

can’t wait for release

[tacit trail]

Nearly 30 but I’m definitely happier now. Than any time before with a wife and my first child on the way next month. I’m pretty excited for what’s to come

Just gotta embrace life

2nd child of we can also include furry ones

[worthy spade]

30 is prime age for sure 😄

[vale anchor]

Nice to see others agreeing that 30 just feels good

[vale anchor]

I mean, to be fair, it was the oldest you've ever been so it makes sense it feels old in the present

[dull pilot]

My 30th was one of my fav bdays. Got invited to sing Tribute by Tenacious D on stage with a live cover band and was bought a round of beers and shots.

[vale anchor]

Buy this man a drink for all of us

[dull pilot]

Haha

It was at the original Plucker’s location near UT campus.

[vale anchor]

Super cool!

I find one of the best feelings of getting older is looking back and realizing how much of the cool stuff you always wanted to do as a kid you've been able to do or even better. There's a contentment that feels nice, but also encourages you to make more of those memories

[dull pilot]

Yeah. Fifteen year old Jeff is geeking out at 45 year old Jeff’s life so far.

It’s a cool feeling and .. really cool to think about the future and what I’ll look back on in 15-20 years.

[sudden warren]

My body disagrees since like 22, but I keep rolling

That's physically of course*

[echo sandal]

Did anyone else get an e-mail to say they got access but not get access? Or is this just a me issue?

[exotic beacon]

you have to sacrifice 7 lambs in the name of coach frank, sorry bud

oh damn, my bad. Must have missed that XD

Either way, it can't be discussed as that breaks the NDA agreement everyone signed when signing up for the playtests.

Every second we are

I'm sorry but not really 😅

Still really hype anyway

[waxen apex]

It feels that way sometimes but the team is working really hard. So many improvements are shown every highlights video. I'm just wondering what mechanics and other goodies they have cooking that they haven't shown

[valid jolt]

its getting closer

[waxen apex]

Sick pfp. Love the edit

[valid jolt]

Thanks lmao a friend made it. Yours is dope too

[waxen apex]

Wait

[exotic beacon]

but a family of super heros stopped him

[gleaming peak]

hi

[sudden warren]

Oh syndrome?

[exotic beacon]

ye

[sudden warren]

Forgot about that!

[rocky hearth]

Not going to lie but I always wished you could skate in GTA 5 lol you could find sooo many spots

[sudden warren]

that would be heaven

[rocky hearth]

Evertime I played that I would look for a BMX bike 😂

That skate park they had was fun

[dull pilot]

It’s my pup, Kuma.

[delicate horizon]

If I ever get a dog I will teach it to skate (should probably teach myself how to skate first tho)

[rocky hearth]

I just found out my brother paid 1500 for his

[scenic gull]

did i miss the invites i click survey and its gone 😦

[waxen apex]

For what? A skateboard? If it's electric, I'm not shocked, but if it's a simple board, that's terrible

[rocky hearth]

Naw it was a dog German shorthair

Also side note I know I skateboard but I probably would be scared to ride an electric skateboard 😂

[waxen apex]

You gotta be confident haha

[rocky hearth]

I mean you have more control if you're just pushing lol

Though I've seen them it would be interesting my question is could u do tricks on them

Also just thinking why didn't they do that on regular skateboards think about all the less pushing you would be doing 🤯

[regal fern]

i

[scenic gull]

New stickers! There needs to be one for rule 7 lol

[worthy rune]

i expect it to be a pet that you can get from opening safes that you can unlock or whatever from doing missions or maybe you get money from doing missions and you buy safes

[cobalt dust]

[icy pilot]

Sounds like your thinking more about payday than skate 😆 also what kinda monster puts three dog in a safe

[zenith cloak]

so the ea play live 2023 aint happening?

and skate aint showcasing ?

that means i should get 2 buckets of baskin robbins and cry myself to sleep on another july 17th 😦

[tacit trail]

Everyone has banded together to actively stop lootboxes… this guy is alone in support of them!

[worthy rune]

what?!?! haha i like loot boxes, it’s fun and better than just buying rare things, loot boxes for rare things, buy stuff for common cosmetics, easy as that

[tacit trail]

Loot boxes are awful, why do you want to gamble for an item? Your don’t go in a clothing shop and pay for a lucky dip for a tshirt do you? You pick exactly what you want. And that should be the same for cosmetics in a game

There shouldn’t be a rarity for items, we don’t need colour coded gear. Especially not in a skateboard game, why should one deck graphic be rare than the others? Especially if the player prefers the look of the so called common item, over the rare item

[ebon bison]

Lol imagine. Skate decks with $$ like a TF2 hat or cs knife

Gat that Lore Fac New Unusual Deck with sparkling wheels. That’ll be $1800

[tacit trail]

As long as Mike Mo isn’t involved, we don’t need that non-fungible token rubbish here haha

[ebon bison]

Lol

[worthy rune]

why not? always adds some fun, could add some grind into the game instead of just skating around willy nilly, rare items need to be in the game, it also helps build the community

[tacit trail]

Games don’t need grind if there is enough unique content, with plenty of updates. There isn’t nothing worse than having to repeat the same goal for hours just so you can get that one items. Progression etc should be natural. Rare items also do not need to be in the game. This isn’t Fortnite or call of duty.

Also… how do rare items build the community?

Just curious as to how you think those things are linked

[icy pilot]

How does it help build a community? Allowing players to create there own cosmetics... Would help build a community, same with other player made content, microtransactions don't really aid the community in the slightest, the only real exception being steams games as some of them items have absurd values

And loot boxes

Always end in microtransactions

Granted this is a free 2 play experience tho so it's a tad diff

[visual oracle]

now, this is not an argument in favor of microtransactions. that being said, allowing players to create their own cosmetics would likely be limited to using shapes and assets from the game itself, rather than allowing people to import or design their own assets, largely due to copyright reasons.

[icy pilot]

Tbh that still has the same problem, look at forza for example

[tacit trail]

Being limited to shapes etc isn't so bad, like Tigg said, Forza uses it, and people have done some insane works of art

[icy pilot]

Your dicing a fine line with customisation that isn't set in stone but it's the best way to let your community unleash it's potential

[tacit trail]

Obvious copyright though, is an issue with that

[visual oracle]

fair enough then. that would just be the only way it would be a thing in-game tho.

[icy pilot]

And copyrights have been issues over Forza skins

[tacit trail]

It could work... but people have to be responsible for policing it

Otherwise you could have people skating with a Swastica or big ol wang

[icy pilot]

What's needed is moderation or a system of trust until flagged

[visual oracle]

yeah and that's gonna be a challenge regarding the social aspect of the game. especially if they look to improve it by adding things like voice/text chat.

i'd rather have moderation.

[tacit trail]

I don't think we will see voice chat

[icy pilot]

Meh, voice chats the most edgy thing you could add in 2020 xD

[tacit trail]

That's what an xbox/ PS party is for

Or discord

Who wants to talk to randoms?

[icy pilot]

In the last 4 years I can name the games on 1 hand where voice chats actually been used as intended

[visual oracle]

yeah but text chat is not accessible for consoles. and the pop-up phrases and stuff are not really cutting it for actual communication.

[tacit trail]

Yeah, most people turn that off too anyway haha

[icy pilot]

🙃 speech to text

[visual oracle]

oh yeah cause that works so well

[icy pilot]

It does if you annunciate

[tacit trail]

Then send the people an xbox live voice message

[visual oracle]

i am on PC

[tacit trail]

Call of Duty modern warfare style

[icy pilot]

Google and Alex technically been doing speech to text for years

[tacit trail]

And ask them for their account password, because you'll get their account to prestige 10

[icy pilot]

Every time you ask a question

[tacit trail]

There is actually technology that listens to voice and flags words

Not sure if it's a microsoft thing or something? It's from some large company

[icy pilot]

Tbh Microsoft's thing freaks me out in flight SIM.

I can call my flight anything and the AI still makes a word out of it

[visual oracle]

I donno I don't like speech to text, I find it inconvienient compared to just typing out what i wanna say

[icy pilot]

hearing atc call me OmegaLel1337 is top tier

[tacit trail]

But yeah, all we need is some emote thing or something

[visual oracle]

because that way I can at least add punctuation to it if I want.

[tacit trail]

There isn't any need for speech

[visual oracle]

and also I don't have to worry about the system screwing up what i'm saying mid-sentence due to the fan noise that's inevitably in my background.

[tacit trail]

Like... what would you need to tell people?

[icy pilot]

Tbh if it's anything like most games discord communitys will pop up dedicated to certain kinds of play

[tacit trail]

'Move that damn block, I was trying to skate this stair set'?

[icy pilot]

And discord is now in consoles

[visual oracle]

yeah but here's the thing

[icy pilot]

I think the best argument I can think of is bf2042

People spent months crying for voice

And I don't think iv ever heard it used once they did

[visual oracle]

I only talk on discord to people I already know. I'm not gonna end up getting in discord calls with random people i happen to meet on skate 4 just cause i happen to like the look of their character or something.

[visual oracle]

To be fair, BF2042 not having it was just weird considering Literally Every Other Game In The Series had it on launch

[tacit trail]

So then why would you talk to them ingame? haha

[visual oracle]

It wasn't so much that it was gone that was the problem, it was the problem that the game was launching with literally things that have been in the series forever just missing

[icy pilot]

Then that's your own choice , personally the whole branching out and meeting new people thing is one of the best things about gaming in general

[visual oracle]

I would like to have the option to do so

[icy pilot]

You can find some real fun characters out there

However, relying on in game to create social ties sucks

[visual oracle]

and being able to meet new people is easier when you can actually communicate with them inside the game that you happen to be playing together at the same time

[icy pilot]

As you can only actually organise anything while in game

[visual oracle]

talking in-game can at least be a starting point, and after a while you could ask for a discord or something.

[tacit trail]

I mean... I'd be able to call out trick liners in game... so maybe not such a bad thing

[icy pilot]

But tbh, it's much easier to look for a community that matches your feel

[visual oracle]

and then i'd probably smack you with a board for being rude

[icy pilot]

Plus voip has its own costs among things like trolling, audio spam, negativity ect ect

Imagine an open world game where your hearing all the people locally at once xD

Let's assume the poosibity of maybe 100 players in a spot all trying to talk 😂

[tacit trail]

Along with kids blasting awful music

[visual oracle]

again, that's why moderation would have to be a thing.

[icy pilot]

In voice good luck , in text I hope you read fast

[tacit trail]

...That is why we do not need voice

[icy pilot]

Moderating voice is far harder

[visual oracle]

but it's possible.

[icy pilot]

Is it worth the workforce tho

[tacit trail]

So you having someone listening in on all chat?

[icy pilot]

Not really

[visual oracle]

that being said i'd take the lack of voice chat if just text chat was an option.

[tacit trail]

That's a hell of a job

Text chat on console though....

Ooof

[icy pilot]

Actually let's do that, there's a few thousand people who need jobs I'd imagine 😆

[visual oracle]

i mean i'd argue yes, any kind of moderation would be worth having the workforce around, because not having it would make your game annoying to play and that's not good for your business model

especially when you're trying to make a more social space game like full circle is doing

[tacit trail]

But that's money that could be spent elsewhere

[visual oracle]

oh yeah i'm sure EA's just strapped for cash, Aaron.

[icy pilot]

That would be assuming atleast one person for every few servers that exist

[worthy spade]

Hello guys

[tacit trail]

Not strapped for cash, but they don't throw money around where they don't need to

[tacit trail]

Ahoy

[visual oracle]

but consider this: they need to.

[icy pilot]

That's gonna increas in cost real fast

[visual oracle]

this is not a discussion.

[tacit trail]

But consider this... not voip... no need

[icy pilot]

They don't need to, what they need to do is stick to what makes and made skate great

[visual oracle]

Shut up bot.

You still need moderation!

[tacit trail]

But less of it

[icy pilot]

Yes but why create uneccesary tasks

[visual oracle]

Still, it needs to exist!

[tacit trail]

Yes, but not as much

[icy pilot]

It doesn't need to, you'd like it to

[visual oracle]

i mean they're the ones that said this is gonna be a more social game.

[icy pilot]

The game in this age could do fine with just discord

[tacit trail]

Do you think the same person is going to moderate every area of the game?

[visual oracle]

no i'm not stupid i think multiple people would. duh.

[tacit trail]

Social doesn't just mean chatting to people in game

Just being multiplayer only is social

[visual oracle]

Most of social interaction is talking to people.

[icy pilot]

Voice chat especially public would be a crazy task to moderate.. I moderate on a squad server which is 50v50, that's painful enough on the ears

[tacit trail]

Seeing someone skateing and doing a train with them, followed by a thumbs up emote is social

[visual oracle]

me just being in this discord server not saying anything would not constitute a social interaction.

[tacit trail]

if you react to someones message it does

[icy pilot]

Well .. say something?

[visual oracle]

Much like me staring at you in your house wouldn't consistute a social interaction either, just simply being present doesn't count.

[tacit trail]

If I looked back and waved, it would

[visual oracle]

BBR has servers with 254 players and they moderate voice chat. god bless their souls.

[icy pilot]

🤔 indeed but your not looking at the logistical nightmare that is cross platform,

Especially in the range they have

If they pull off a solid launch across all platforms they intended on, il be impressed... Which isn't a dig... There's just alot that can go wrong

[tacit trail]

bayblade revolution?

[icy pilot]

Adding more to that mix tho seems insane

😂

Nah battlebit, and the difference is battlebit is only in pc

[tacit trail]

Oh... never heard of that haha

[visual oracle]

i'd be fine with no voice chat. I would just like for text chat to be in the game.

[icy pilot]

But then you have to consider that for potentially mobile and maybe switch who knows

Phone typing easy enough

[worthy spade]

About ig chat and all that, I think the best way would be to have the possibility to group people when you encounter them, like you could send them an invite that they could accept or not and once you're in a group it unlocks voicechat and text chat

[icy pilot]

Yeah I'd never think public voice would be a good idea , private invite tho is basically psn/live so the only place that would really use it unless it was cross platform voice would be pc and even then, howmany

I can't imagine mobile voice 😆

[tacit trail]

Voice chat is a nightmare across all systems...

What about switch if that happens?

[icy pilot]

Yeah , portable sure you have touchscreen to type too, but if your in docked mode , yeesh , ngl iv not even ever looked at a console headset for switch either

[worthy spade]

Public voicechat would be a nightmare

[icy pilot]

Plus , discords on both Xbox and playstation now afaik

[tacit trail]

No games have voice chat on switch either, you have to go through the nintendo mobile app

It is, yes

Imagine, having to stop skating, in order to type out a paragraph?

We just need default quick phrases and the floss

[visual oracle]

I would gladly stop skating and type out the entire navy seals copypasta if someone dropped a couch on my head while i was trying to do something

[tacit trail]

Not sure what that is.... but uh... sounds rad?

[visual oracle]

how do you not know the navy seals copypasta

[tacit trail]

because I'm not chronically online?

[visual oracle]

i can't even post it here due to the automod

it's been around for literally years

[icy pilot]

i am and iv never heard of it, Lorem ipsum maybe

but erm... well... we... aint got the navy seals here 😄

[tacit trail]

Might be a younger generation thing?

Or a country specific thing

[visual oracle]

it's been around since 2010

[icy pilot]

iv been around since 92 xD

still aint heard of it

[tacit trail]

I'm starting to think this guy just made it up

[icy pilot]

on a side note... Dear videogame's Can we please perhaps start defaulting the volume in our games to 50% on pc xD

[visual oracle]

as if i wrote this entire page over 11 years ago just for the sake of a bit

[icy pilot]

just installed that naraka game and oh boy im deaf

[tacit trail]

Yeah... never seen that. Looks like something a fortnite kid would say

[icy pilot]

🤔 basically generic trash talk script but insert navy seal references?

[tacit trail]

Looks like it

[icy pilot]

yeah not suprised i aint heard that over here

As i said, we aint got the navy seals 😄 SAS perhaps

GIGN ect ect welcome to europe 😄

Memes dont always have a global reach

But yeah tbf, i feel like that meme alone... describes why we dont need VC

[vale anchor]

That was a super long discussion to catch up on

I'll say this. If there is no proximity chat I'll be very disappointed.

As for moderation, recording and reporting is always an option

As well as muting the person being annoying

If you don't want to talk, then there should be an option to opt out in the settings menu.

[vale anchor]

Let's not link to things that aren't in line with the server rules. There is a reason the automod would remove it and linking to it is a way of breaking #rules #5

[sudden warren]

Good morning my people!

[worthy spade]

Completely agree, it will takes off all the irl feeling that is obviously important in an online open world.

Even better as you can't mute annoying ppl in the park irl

[sudden warren]

Prox chat would be sweet

[gleaming peak]

Hi

Good morning

[scenic gull]

i think it should be this:

prox chat
global chat (so normal voice just with prox disabled)
party chat

all optional

global chat would prob be a lil annoying depending on how many players per server but i dont think it'd be too bad

or even like party + prox would be cool

[sudden warren]

Morning nik!

Yea I wanna say global VOICE will be hard if they are lobbies of more than 50 people. Global text chat should def be available

[waxen apex]

That would be nutty haha. Imagine trying to talk to the person next to you in global chat and like 6 12 year olds scream at you to shut up. I don't really want that even if it could be hilarious

[tacit trail]

The worst part about voice chat, is some kid blasting some awful music down their mic for everyone to hear

[waxen apex]

Oh no kidding. Most of the time they don't even know their mic is on. Would love a mute button

Getting bullied in game chat? Mute them. It'll mute them so you can't hear them, but it'll also mute your voice for anybody that you mute so they don't hear you

[sudden warren]

It's much easier nowadays to get reported/banned for toxicity and inappropriate language so of course it'll be an issue, but SOME of it can be handled.

[acoustic pasture]

Hope everyonenis having a great Sunday!

[sudden warren]

You too Dario!

[dull pilot]

Are you playing Diablo IV? What do you think of their social wheel(s)?

[icy pilot]

Knowing Aaron he probably isn't,

It's hard to talk him into games xD

[dull pilot]

I love the fact I can do various social interactions, switch to another wheel for potions, switch for actions. And the level of customization of the wheels is really good.

[austere torrent]

if one person get access one time to the play test, the other playtests will he have access immediatly or not?

[zenith sand]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

[icy pilot]

Tbh it's something I always liked about rocket league too,

[austere torrent]

question awnsered ahaha

[icy pilot]

The quick chat if executed correctly almost feels 2nd nature and ends up becoming a habit rather than a conscious thought

[scenic gull]

Not guaranteed but possible

[dull pilot]

Yep. And with a game like skate., you want it to be quick.

Good ideas.

[worthy spade]

Me alway miss quick chat in RL

But yeah I see what you mean it feels atomatic

[icy pilot]

I'm far to proficient in the art of RC quick chat 🤣

Mainly because oh god rocket league voice servers might aswell not exist

[dull pilot]

I do agree with @vale anchor re: ability to mute/block.

[worthy spade]

Yeak quick chatting is actually skills 😂

[icy pilot]

Phoning your team would serve better quality

[dull pilot]

Fire up the old TeamSpeak. Haha

[icy pilot]

That's the main thought I have tho , expense over time,

Tbf didn't alot of games used to implement teamspeak into there games

Like voice chat service was Teamspeak

Even tho it was ingame voice

[dull pilot]

Back in the day, yeah.

[icy pilot]

😆 I feel far to old

I think one of the main challenges will be finding a bit rate everyone's happy with while also not milking the user's internetspeed of voice data

Then again I also know about as much about code as I do about building a spaceship 😂

[gleaming peak]

I used teamspeak once and I got hacked

They stole my RuneScape bank 😔

[icy pilot]

Lmao sounds like teamspeak

We used to use it before discord when I hosted a public Minecraft server back in the day,

[scenic gull]

Woah i played runescape in 2007

But haven’t since. Those were windows xp day lmao

[icy pilot]

I still do once in a while

It's a good idling game while you 3d model

[gleaming peak]

I agree

I used to play it a lot

I’ve got like 7 99’s

[icy pilot]

🙃 at one point my account got hacked, I got it back and the dude had been leveling it hard lmao

[gleaming peak]

Lmfao it’s crazy how I got ratted on my first time on teamspeak

[icy pilot]

Skipped half of the mining levels 🤣

[gleaming peak]

I only have 100M back the

[gleaming peak]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

No way

[icy pilot]

😆 yeah the only thing I didn't have was money xD

So I assume he used my account to bot mine 😆

[sudden warren]

I love rocket league quick chats

[icy pilot]

Tbh I think it's probably the only game where iv actually actively used it alot

9 times out of 10 I use discord ,

There's a few games I play where it's essential to use mics in game tho , like squad , 6 days in Fallujah, ect ect

[worthy spade]

To the mods: it seems like the pronouns and the plaform roles are not working anymore

[tacit trail]

No, I haven’t played that actually

But like Tiggs said, quick chat features. Maybe for emotes and phrases, follow me, let’s do a train, oof, etc. not sure how you’d do that with also emotes. Maybe if you could combine them onto one wheel. And it’s custom? That way you don’t have to have multiple tabs

So on one wheel, I could have 4 phrases and 4 emotes, just emotes, just phrases or anything inbetween

As with phrases, there may be some that are completely redundant to you personally, so that’s just taking up a slot to never get used

[tacit trail]

Haha, I’ve actually been meaning to get it just to play with the wife in split screen. Would never play online though, not much of an online person

[icy pilot]

Iv been looking at it but I just can't push my self to pay that price

[tacit trail]

That was the main reason myself, since I won't be playing past whatever the main story is. I could care less about the season pass/ online stuff

[icy pilot]

I mean I would, just I know what my ADHDs like 🤣

[tacit trail]

I just haven't the time to be spending grinding in games, that's the main reason I prefer to just play a single player game and be done with it. Not play the same games as a service game for years

[scenic gull]

I was ready to pay $70 for skate 4

Since skate. is F2P, then I will set aside $60 or so to just buy my clothes and decks

Lol im pushing 30, no time to grind out challenges

[tacit trail]

It's a shame $60 on microtransactions isn't the same as $60 for a fully fledged game with some form of singleplayer to it

[scenic gull]

Ik it really isnt haha. Future sucks

I was ready for skate 4 for a single player story mode

[tacit trail]

Unfortunately it looks like a lot of things are going this way

Gamings current direction sucks!

If I can help it, I don't think I'll be touching a lot of Skate's social stuff

Fingers crossed for private lobbies

[scenic gull]

Im sad there will never be a campaign on social media to convince EA of a #Skate5

Make EA Skate 5 Again 🤣

[tacit trail]

Or Skate 4 haha

[scenic gull]

Damn.. so true lmao

Those were good times. I clicked on EVERY x7_albert vid

[tacit trail]

I couldn’t stand that guy

[scenic gull]

I knew it was clickbait, but i was starving for Skate 4, id click eveytimr

[tacit trail]

One of the worst things to happen in the Skate community haha

[scenic gull]

Yeah his skate 4d venture was it

When i first joined this server he was a Local

But no more today

[icy pilot]

Yeah there's a few who are no longer locals, that we know from XL tbh

[scenic gull]

who else lol

[sudden warren]

[icy pilot]

i hounestly dont think its my place to say if you know you know tbf

[scenic fossil]

.

[scenic gull]

Milky is no longer an ea skate local /:

Looks like Garrett Ginner is still a local

[tacit trail]

Didn’t see that… interesting

[lime wigeon]

Will the new Skate game be on Steam or through the EA app?

[pallid blade]

we dont know yet

[lime wigeon]

Oh I gotcha!

[scenic gull]

I believe Braddock said it was def through the Origin Launcher

But no other info than that , for now

[shrewd herald]

Pros You would like to see in Skate 4?

[tacit trail]

What’s Skate 4?

[vale anchor]

Origin was discontinued though, it's the EA app now

[scenic gull]

When did this happen? Man im out of the loop hahah

[tacit trail]

A good while ago

Origin just wasn’t very good I’m general

[scenic gull]

Oh wow im out of it lol

EA app any good?

[tacit trail]

It’s fine, does the job haha

Better than Origin

[vale anchor]

At first it had some glitches but it seems to run very well now

[worthy rune]

i personally don’t like it, but others might

if i can boot up the game with a click of a button than it’s fine with me

[scenic gull]

Yeah that is true, im used to it now
But at first, when all these new launchers were popping up i got so mad

2K launcher
Rockstar launcher
I had origin launcher
Ubisoft launcher

I was getting so mad haha

[tacit trail]

Tbh, most of the time I either open a game short cut or type it into the search to open

[scenic gull]

Yeah it really is not a big deal. But i like to complain lmao jk

[tacit trail]

Plenty people do haha

[dull pilot]

Origin was sunset. It’s all EA app now.

[scenic gull]

Wow last time i played Madden it was Origin

Didnt realize that i havent opened game since this transition xD

[cobalt dust]

[boreal raven]

[scenic gull]

my little brother registered for a play test but did not yet sadly

[sudden warren]

I hope yall are having a great weekend!

[dull pilot]

Just got back from a 30 minute ride on Black Bess and an hour at the beach - doing my best to socially distance from my wife (who is quarantining with Covid). And, of course, wearing my mask with 3 filters any time someone is within 8ft.

Now to go outside and garden until sundown.

At least it's keeping me productive.

[waxen apex]

Sounds sad but still pretty enjoyable

[dull pilot]

Yeah. I mean, I got home from Vancouver at 2PM on Wednesday and she had to go into quarantine Friday morning. Barely saw her and now I have to avoid her to keep my non-Covid streak going (and to avoid having to miss XGames on Friday).

Luckily, it seems it's mild (She's vaxxed and double boosted, thank goodness). Luckily, I get to make her all sorts of delicious food - made French toast for the first time yesterday - with blueberries, strawberries, home-ground powder sugar (using my mortar and pestle). She loved it. Tonight, I may do a chicken pesto with cheese and spinach tortellini

[waxen apex]

I'll take a plate ✋

[dull pilot]

Curbside okay?

😄

[waxen apex]

Better than nothing at all, so yes

You got time to trek to Missouri?

It's only a 23 hour drive

[dull pilot]

I had a dude at the dog park yesterday tell me "dude, no need for masks" until I replied "My wife has Covid. I just tested negative, but for YOUR protection I am wearing my mask."
His gruff face softened "I'm sorry, man. Hope she's okay. And thank you. Your dog is adorable."

Me:

https://tenor.com/view/i-know-star-wars-han-solo-gif-14764428

[waxen apex]

You turned him around real quick

[dull pilot]

Yeah. I didn't think he was being a jerk - it was already hot and I gave him the grace that he was concerned I would be too hot.

So I replied kindly and with love - which I think we all need a little more of nowadays.

[waxen apex]

I understand now. It makes a lot of sense

[waxen apex]

Agreed 😊

[scenic gull]

Woah you really never gotten covid?

[dull pilot]

Not yet. I’ve also never stopped wearing a mask in public.

(Aside from Covid, I have a crazy Deadpool/Wolverine healing factor. Cuts/bruises gone in a day - sometimes hours. Rarely ever got sick in the last 10 years - except chronic bronchitis because I’m a smoker - I promise I’ll quit one day.)

If I skate by this experience (no pun intended), I have an appointment with an immunity panel to see if I actually have immunity and if I do, they can have all the fluids they need to help others.

[scenic gull]

Wow! I suffered my first case of bronchitis at 26, but i never ever had this issue before
Yes, im a smoker. Man, i also want to quit

I have improved! For example.) Today, I successfully did not smoke all day
In the past, i could NOT go a single 24-hr day without at least 1 smoke

[dull pilot]

I’m very proud of you. Legit, it’s hard to quit.

I'd uhh... read the whole email again.

[cosmic dome]

yeah

[waxen apex]

Shocking that nobody reads their emails.

[neon lion]

how gorgeous, congratulations on your recent freedom.

[scenic gull]

is it time for console playtests yet? or is it still pc only?

[tacit trail]

Not as of yet, I’m sure it will be announced here when that time will be.

[sudden warren]

Good morning and have a killer week everybody!

[hidden bronze]

Thanks Huck! I go back to school tomorrow, so hopefully my last term is a good one!

[swift coyote]

same except its my 2nd last term :)

[hidden bronze]

Sick dude
As much as I hate school, I’m really going to miss the social aspect of it

[swift coyote]

are u in high school?

[swift coyote]

same for sure tho..

[hidden bronze]

Yeah, Year 12

[swift coyote]

same

[hidden bronze]

At least I do pretty good in my Photography classes though
That’s about all I enjoy

[tacit trail]

Good afternoon! And yourself

Just out here working, trying poorly to avoid every distraction

[sudden warren]

Good luck!!!

Haha! Morning!

[lavish lodge]

Really hope the new skate has a good soundtrack! Some bangers in the previous games

[sudden warren]

I'm hoping it's like gta where they add as the years go on

[hidden bronze]

OMG, yes dude, that’s such a sick idea

[sudden warren]

I feel like it's the best route. Obviously costly as you need to renew licenses of already existing songs AND adding songs but would still be cool

[ocean agate]

The only thing gta does that I hope skate 4 does lol

[sudden warren]

I'd take blackjack as well lolll

[crystal hollow]

Dude yes

[sudden warren]

Haha I'm in for it. I'm tempted to say radio stations but personally, I prefer a mix of genres playing non stop. That's how I listen to music 90% of the time.

Plus like older style games, just have the option to toggle songs you might reallllyyy dislike off. Imo, best way to do it! But I also know nothing soooo yea

[crystal hollow]

Pretty sure skate 4 will get content for a while

And hoping that means dlc and everything

Just because of skate 3 refusing to die after a decade

I still play skate 2

And it holds up so good just which they would add online bak

[unique nebula]

Good morning everyone!

[crystal hollow]

Yo is ur bio talking Abt the band Creed ? Or sumthing else

Gm tho

[sudden warren]

Yea that's their plan, support skate. forever!

Morning Thad!

Yes creed the band. It's Thad's #2 most important thing in life. I'd say skate barely beats it out as # 1

[crystal hollow]

Bet that

[worthy spade]

Good morning everyone!

[tacit trail]

He removed it haha

[sudden warren]

Lmao made you look like the bad one

Morning toon!

[tacit trail]

Looks like I ruined it, and called myself out

[icy pilot]

God your such an awful human 😄

[tacit trail]

Damn right!

[worthy spade]

I wanted to join the wave but Aaron ruined it 🥲

[scenic gull]

[worthy spade]

[vale anchor]

[dull pilot]

Happy Monday, friendos! Hope you're doing well, drinking your water, and vibing with some tasty jams.

[scenic gull]

Im sitting here patiently waiting for Aug. so i can see the playtest recap vid lmao

[pallid blade]

or maybe even another board room 👀

[tacit trail]

Substitute the water for tea, and I'm on board

[violet tapir]

Can’t wait for the board room

[dull pilot]

I've had an espresso, 2 bottles of water, and am drinking iced tea with Stevia.

[tacit trail]

Been on a bit of a boba tea hype atm, ever since my local Costa Coffee started doing them

[scenic gull]

have been listening 2 bladee n drinking mtn dew code red

[worthy spade]

35 degrees for me and I'm still drinking coffee..

[scenic gull]

yea its 35 for me too lol

[tacit trail]

20 here

[worthy spade]

Need to cure my coffee addiction I guess 👀

[tacit trail]

Whatever helps you through the day

[scenic gull]

im gonna go out for some dinner in like an hour, greece has been great so far

the first time i've actually been out of the uk by myself has been a pretty good experience

[worthy spade]

Greece is awesome

[tacit trail]

Bit slick I've heard

[scenic gull]

yeah 100%, brought my board with me, looking for some cool skate spots

its a shame i have to go back home in 2 weeks

[dull pilot]

What part of Greece?
We stayed in Santorini and Athens for part of our honeymoon - I want to retire in Santorini one day, walk the beaches, catch fish, and swim. An amazing familly in Athens who ran this souvlaki shop invited us to their home for homemade wine, food, and dancing our last night there, but we had a 5am flight to Rome.

[scenic gull]

its been absolutely unreal here

[worthy spade]

Dang

[scenic gull]

in paros rn

[dull pilot]

Awesome!

[scenic gull]

It seems like board rooms are quarterly, so should be soon!!!

[scenic gull]

yeah, got family over here who owns a hotel so we've been staying for free, minus the cost of room service of course

[dull pilot]

That's awesome!
I want to go back to Greece and just visit the whole country. Spend a couple months. Or move there.

[scenic gull]

legit am v tempted to move here permanently, but i cant be bothered to learn a whole new language + there are more career opportunities for what i wanna do regarding computing and vr development in the uk

once i retire tho, i'm moving here

[dull pilot]

Fair about the career stuff. Especially if it's a role that needs proximity to the office.

[scenic gull]

i've noticed that a lot of them are remote jobs but they still require you to be in the same country as the office

which makes sense

[dull pilot]

Yeah. Usually for tax reasons.

[scenic gull]

at home, i'm working as a taxi operator, so my job isnt exactly amazing in terms of what i do, i dont really do much

i get paid £8.50 an hour to sit behind a desk and tell taxis where to go and type stuff into a computer system every now and again

a lot of the time i'll sit on my phone scrolling thru reddit or tiktok and i dont complain

[tacit trail]

Sounds fairly cushty, is that in the city or?

[scenic gull]

yeah

[tacit trail]

Nice busy fridays then haha

[dull pilot]

I had a job like that before I got into the game industry. I was a manager of a hotel gift shop. Met a lot of famous folks (actors and bands) because it was one of the popular hotels. Made enough to pay my bills and have a night or two out on the town a week. Spent a lot of time just reading or playing MMO (City of Heroes) via the terrible hotel wifi.

[scenic gull]

i live just outside the city, so i, ironically, have to get into the city via a taxi in order to get to work, but even that taxi ride is free

[hidden bronze]

I really wanna go on a vacay to Amsterdam

[scenic gull]

i wanna go on a vacay to san vansterdam, in its current semi-low poly untextured glory

[hidden bronze]

100%
I hope they unpoly me too when I arrive in the city, just like the skaters there

[worthy spade]

I'll go on october for like.. the 7th time in my life I guess, 😂 I really love this town you'll like it if you've never been.

Where you come from Massa?

[hidden bronze]

The Land Down Under, Australia my friend
Never ever left the country before, but my older sister has

[worthy spade]

Oh cool! Only 20 + hours flight to go 😂

I've spend 2 years in OZ and NZ that was hands down one my all time favorite trips!

[hidden bronze]

It can be fun down here sometimes

[worthy spade]

I'd love to return but I had a 40+ hours flight to return and that was an absolute nightmare. 😂 Maybe when I'll be very old haha

[hidden bronze]

Haha, maybe so lol
I wish I lived in Sydney or something, I love the city vibes

[gleaming peak]

Hi, good morning

[worthy spade]

Nik

[hidden bronze]

Hi Nik! Good to see you!

[unique nebula]

Creed

[gleaming peak]

Hell yeah, you too

[sudden warren]

Creed

[cobalt dust]

[sudden warren]

Where are the creed stickers/emojis?

[waxen apex]

That sounds cool but kinda boring

[waxen apex]

I love Creed

[sudden warren]

We. Need. Creed.

[unique nebula]

The Need For Creed (and skate)

[pallid blade]

((and speed))

[sudden warren]

I Need Creed Speed

[scenic gull]

hopefully some more highlights come with it lol

Cant wait 🙏🏼 those board rooms and highlights keep me patient lol

same lol

they keep me on edge

[worthy spade]

I'm sorry but wdym when you are saying board rooms I'm a bit confuse

English is not my 1st language

[pallid blade]

board rooms are the videos that Full Circle have been making to tell us more about the new game (have a look in #youtube-feed , you should find their videos there)

[worthy spade]

Oh ok that sounds fire I didn't know we called it like that thanks for the explanation 😅

[pallid blade]

[sudden warren]

Teamwork!

[worthy spade]

Just realized that I wasn't sub to the official skate channel on YT.

Please boo me guys

BOO

[tacit trail]

bOO

[pallid blade]

what matters is that you are now

True

[sudden warren]

Nah you're cool! Time to catch up on all their videos

Who's tryina get a lobby of Skate 3 together later??

[lucid crag]

if i can get my boy to sleep, i'd be interested

gotta record a quick podcast but other than my night is open

[icy pilot]

🤔 I'd maybe consider a jam, I don't have a console headset tho

Mostly only use my Xbox for very specific games tbh

[unique nebula]

I've been trying to finish up some Hall of Meat challenges on skate 2

I've always been on playstation but got a Series S so going through everything again

[sudden warren]

Sweet I'll ping you guys when I hop on! Thinking 6 or 630 eastern

I usually just stream it anyway so no headset required!

Excited, it's been quite a few weeks since I've played. Took quite a hiatus

[sudden warren]

The fresh playthrough must be awesome

[icy pilot]

🤔I'm GMT so can you translate that into howmany hours time xD

Also iirc I can actually join Xbox live parties through my pc,

[worthy rune]

skate 2 hall of meat really is weird, it’s just freeplay basically, but not too hard, also unlocks a pretty cool spot that you can jump from

[sudden warren]

about an hour from now?

[icy pilot]

should be fine 👍

[sudden warren]

Woo!

Anyone have issues downloading the latest nvidia driver update?? I feel like I am being silly

figured it out... i think lol

[scenic gull]

Does anyone have idea how long does it take to get the key for the Playtest

[zenith sand]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

[sudden warren]

It's random and they run them every other month or so

[sudden warren]

@lucid crag and @icy pilot hop in whenever you'd like! Link is in my bio

[icy pilot]

🤣 might try multi tasking as iv got jagget alience 3 installed on my pc at same time and its turn based 😄

[sudden warren]

all good bro! lol

[dull pilot]

1. You don't get a key. If you get invited, it will be added to your account and you'll receive more info.
2. As the bot mentioned, check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and the FAQ that is linked there.

We have a LOT of folks signed up as skate. Insiders - and we are increasing the size of our playtests as we go along, but selection is pretty random (but also based on survey replies received before selection begins).

Hang loose. More playtests are coming.

[sudden warren]

Hang loose brochacho

[fluid siren]

Heartbreaking

[sudden warren]

Something tells me you're not supposed to share this information

[fluid siren]

Just sad cause I thought it was something important ):

[sudden warren]

I believe most if not all of them will note that the info is part of the NDA, especially if it is playtesting related

How hot has it been for everyone right now? I’m sweating like crazy

[sudden warren]

[ivory gorge]

[zenith sand]

[ivory gorge]

thanks coach frank

[sudden warren]

coach frank's got your back!

[scenic gull]

any comp players willing to help out

[unborn condor]

Currently watching mid 90s for the first time and i already love it

[fluid siren]

Help what

[scenic gull]

figure i'd try to learn any pop variation

[fluid siren]

We talking ab skate right?

[scenic gull]

ye

[fluid siren]

There’s a selection in the pause menu that shows each trick and exactly how to do it that would prob be the best

[scenic gull]

main issue is seatbelting from 360s into manuals not so much the tricks

[fluid siren]

Do you play s.k.a.t.e.? That’s a super good way to get any flat ground tricks in

Oh

So everytime you land you get into manual or you want to?

[scenic gull]

i want to but if i don't use rs it makes it a lot harder

so i tried seatbelt/melon still not consistent

[fluid siren]

Flat ground 360 seatbelt into a Manuel? Or you doing it off something

I can only do that into a nose Manuel that’s so hard

You prob can do it easier by taking advantage of the slightest boost of air that the game gives you if you ollie right after you run and get on your board

[scenic gull]

yeah isn't that the only way to gain pts

[scenic gull]

yeah i know which pop you're talking about, but idk how i'd utilise it each time

[crystal hollow]

Skate 2 is the best 😮‍💨

[scenic gull]

i'd love to see some mirrors edge references in skate, considering the parkour they seem to be adding

[sudden warren]

i still have to see that!

[unborn condor]

Its on Netflix now

[sudden warren]

Ohhhh

[unborn condor]

Just finished it, the vibe of the whole movie was just wow#

[dull pilot]

Would be dope to have some of the clothing options from Mirror's Edge Catalyst in-game for sure.
Fun fact: The little robot from the game is actually named..... Kuma.

[scenic gull]

what about a cameo from faith kekw

legit maybe she gives a mission or something

[dull pilot]

Cool idea.

[vale anchor]

I never put that together with your dog's name 🤯

[scenic gull]

maybe even a new/secondary map that resembles the city of glass from mirrors edge catalyst? that would be really cool as a skate spot

[vale anchor]

She's the one that jumps off a building to teach you how to do parkour flump

[scenic gull]

lol

[vale anchor]

But for real, I'd love to see her eye makeup as a potential customization option

[scenic gull]

so true

when skate releases, it will be an excuse for me to play more parkour games

i already love mirrors edge, stride vr and sunset overdrive purely for their movement mechanics

[dull pilot]

And the tattoos.

[dull pilot]

Have you checked out Only Up?

[vale anchor]

Now that you mention it... I believe her eye make up is actually tattooed on so

[scenic gull]

yeah ive played it, it doesnt have much of the more advanced mechanics from other parkour-type games but it is very fun (although i dont play it often as it makes my pc sound like a jet turbine)

[worthy rune]

there is an only up map in skate 3

[sudden warren]

nice

[gleaming peak]

omg this is soooo sick !!!

[dull pilot]

As a farewell gift, DICE also named a robot dog in BF2042 after Kuma.

[gleaming peak]

awww

[dull pilot]

They also named an AI character Col J. Braddock. Pretty Neato.

[gleaming peak]

omg

[vale anchor]

EA Jeff really is in the game!

[sudden warren]

Yea wow he really is

[violet tapir]

Coolest No-Pat card out there

Been obsessed with 2042 lately!

[scenic gull]

i know skate ain't send me a message letting me know i missed out is crazy lmao

[scenic gull]

So guys if I sign up on the ea skate thing I get to test the game if they email me back?

[waxen apex]

These are so cool! Well deserved!

[crystal hollow]

Was there ever a mobile client for skate ?

Swear I had it on an ipad as a kid

[scenic gull]

Yes there was, Skate It on iOS, Wii, and DS

[crystal hollow]

I remember the Wii one

Still have disc somewhere

[tacit trail]

The amount of hours I put into Skate It on my Ipod touch haha

Still have that laying around somewhere, maybe I need to see if it's still installed

[pallid blade]

For sure dude, I think that would be rare media at this point!

[tacit trail]

It's a shame they removed support for older apple games, as there was another skateboarding game on ios which I believe is lost media at this point

Done plenty of research but haven't been able to find it on any site at all

[mortal oracle]

[sudden warren]

Yea I want to play the mobile version myself! I never got to back in the day

[scenic gull]

Hahaha i got the same thing. I busted out laughing 😭

[sudden warren]

Good morning yall!

[tacit trail]

Ahoy

[valid jolt]

[sudden warren]

[winged salmon]

[sudden warren]

Hope its a dope day

[winged salmon]

It is for me i hope it is for yall

I'm in Edinburgh today sightseeing

[tacit trail]

Couldn't think of any worse sights haha

[sudden warren]

Gotta enjoy that for the rest of us!

[icy pilot]

😂 I mean there's also cosham and Brixton in London

[tacit trail]

Anywhere in London really...

[icy pilot]

And let's not forget about Slough 😆

[tacit trail]

90% of England, I'd say

[icy pilot]

🤣 I have a friend who thought Slough was some kind of culture hotspot because of Ali g 🤣

Personally I like to see the things we didn't make though, nature = ❤️... Apart from spiders , screw spiders

[tacit trail]

Most other European countries would give you that haha

[icy pilot]

Tbf we do have some nice areas ,

Every county seems to have it's lil bit to explore

But yeah I ain't into the whole city touring holidays

However Singapore is the exception

Only in Singapore can you pay to have a cup of tea with an orangutan

[tacit trail]

Only been to the airport for a layover haha

[icy pilot]

The airport is deceivingly well air conditioned 🤣

The moment you leave the building you realise the climate 🤣

[tacit trail]

I stood out in one of the little outdoor areas they have... yikes

[icy pilot]

Been there 3 times , got a family member buried over there from the navy in ww2

So it's kinda like a once every 5 years thing since it's so expensive

There's a few things il never tackle there tho like the cable cars , no thanks i don't like that idea 😆

[gleaming peak]

Hi

[icy pilot]

hi Nik

[noble sonnet]

Hi

[tacit trail]

Ahh that's fair, was only on a layover due to a trip to Australia

[icy pilot]

Did you fly Singapore airlines at all ?

There flights are crazy even for economy class

Best food iv had on a plane hands down

[tacit trail]

It may well have been

Was a really nice flight

[icy pilot]

They have overly fancy chairs with tvs and stuff

[noble sonnet]

I’m gonna go to korea for holiday soon and I wanna buy a pair of skate shoes, what are some good brands?

I’m not sure which shoes I gotta buy

[icy pilot]

My go to brand just because I'm a nostalgic, Vans but chunky ones

[tacit trail]

I buy vans skate for casual shoes. Super comfy

Or some Etnies Marana's also very comfy shoes

[icy pilot]

Yeah the padding just big ol' fluffy cloud

[tacit trail]

Wouldn't touch a pair of standard vans though

Was tempted by the Knu Skool's but I don't think I could pull off the beefiness haha

[icy pilot]

Yeah I dislike the whole canvas style

[sudden warren]

I'll get out there one day soon

[icy pilot]

Converse are the only canvas for me

[noble sonnet]

I don’t like the look of converse everytime I see someone wear them I just cringe

They look weird and I don’t know why

[sudden warren]

Dang

[tacit trail]

Oh... I love converse

[icy pilot]

Most people wear them and try to build them into there style

[tacit trail]

Have a bunch of pairs

[icy pilot]

They fit best when you just wear them

[tacit trail]

The CTAS Pros though

Again... I like the extra padding the skate ones provide haha

Actually have a decent insole

[noble sonnet]

I feel like I pissed off an entire colony of skaters cuz I said I don’t like converse

[tacit trail]

What's the reasoning?

[icy pilot]

My main problem with converse tbh is that they use glue to hold the soles rather than stitch

[noble sonnet]

?

[zenith copper]

Punjab

[tacit trail]

Why don't you like them, what causes the cringe for you?

[tacit trail]

No thanks

[zenith copper]

Yaas please

[tacit trail]

The CTAS Pros are pretty sturdy

[noble sonnet]

They look thin and tall, basically boots but converted to a sneaker and I saw someone at my school wear them and he looked goofy asf

[icy pilot]

I mean I dislike crocs but I ain't gonna cringe over someone liking them, might question there sanity a bit but still , and not all converse are high tops

[tacit trail]

If worn right converse look fine

I've worn plenty high top cons
