[sudden warren]

Wow! Super late compared to US

[vapid wharf]

Hey is cursing allowed in this server or no

Just asking for future reference

didnt really know where else to ask

[sudden warren]

E for everyone my friend

[vapid wharf]

I’m assuming that’s a no then

[sudden warren]

Correct

Just keep it cool and chill for all ages

family friendly

[vapid wharf]

K

[sudden warren]

Don't do that

Nobody likes a "k"

[vapid wharf]

Ok

[honest mortar]

Am I allowed to kick it?

[sudden warren]

Yes you can

[viral solstice]

Good evening skate peeps

[cobalt dust]

a rare local spotted in chat :o

[viral solstice]

😂 Is that rare?

[sly wing]

I’m so ready for full release

Have they said if we are going to have cross play?

[waxen apex]

How you been Tommy? Anything fun or exciting happening?

[vale anchor]

Very! Gets them all excited

[waxen apex]

So many bright colors in the chat. Just if we had someone that was purple 👀

psst... (my favorite color is purple)

[worthy rune]

yeah lol

[hidden bronze]

Oooh! A Local! The legendary Skate3Tommy, no less, haha

Yeah, definitely not often that we get an active Local in the chat
Refreshing to see such a nice orange colour that isn’t green or blue 😂

[scenic gull]

hey no

now*

[hidden bronze]

[vale anchor]

Yep. It's extremely rare

[hidden bronze]

Last time I saw a local, it was Toasty Ghost, and even he isn’t active much

[waxen apex]

He's constantly working on videos and home stuff I guess

[vale anchor]

[sudden warren]

Sup yall

[river egret]

Waz up

[cobalt dust]

lol

[gleaming peak]

very rare

[icy pilot]

😆 and that was the last time we saw Tommy

[waxen apex]

A gyro sounds very good rn

todd sandwich

[hidden bronze]

I’m at a ribhouse right now
I’m getting something very… interesting

[random oyster]

Spaghetti?

[hidden bronze]

It involves something in spaghetti, but it isn’t spaghetti

[random oyster]

So it's a kind of pasta?

Also! Did you succeed in doing the thing for school you had to do so early today?

[hidden bronze]

Not pasta either

[hidden bronze]

Yeah, it was good fun

Got to have some of the leftovers, so I had a full breakfast

[random oyster]

Hmm well then it depends what you normally put in your spaghetti so I'm going to guess meatballs? Or perhaps bolognese sauce

[hidden bronze]

Meatballs are definitely involved

[ocean agate]

Longest time before sequel list

Skate 4

Whatever the new avatar movie is

Jesus coming back

[hidden bronze]

If I had to list a fairly big sequel gap, it’d be my sister and I, lol
She was 10 years old when I was born

[neon owl]

[hidden bronze]

Hah, another Local spotted!
Hey Toasty, how’re you going?

[unique nebula]

Smells like a pizza pie Friday to me

[hidden bronze]

If only I was able to get a pizza where I went for dinner ):

What I had was almost a pizza though
The cheese and sauce was there, just without the dough 😂

[sudden warren]

Goooood pizza pie Friday to all!

[scenic nova]

How's everyone today?

Currently sitting on the stoney beach eating chips with a bottle of coke

[sudden warren]

Man I wish that sounds awesome

[random oyster]

That sounds nice! I'm at the office listening skeggs and surviving the last few hours until the weekend

Tonight I finally might have some time to go out and skate a bit

[vale anchor]

[hidden bronze]

Am I doing something wrong? Sorry if that sounds stupid, just… had a bad evening is all, doubting myself a little

[random oyster]

Oooh I see, skyfi is a local too

[vale anchor]

Nope, nothing wrong at all

[random oyster]

But your blue so we don't see

[hidden bronze]

Ah, okay, sorry again, haha

[sudden warren]

what in the what

[vale anchor]

Pizza time

[sudden warren]

lmao I was expecting it to be a RvB clip

[vale anchor]

It's one of my fav officially made promo vids for halo 5 multiplayer skin

Because Pizza

[sudden warren]

Agree

[hidden bronze]

I just realised that the sweepstake ends the day I graduate high school

If I win it the day I graduate, I’m gonna be so overloaded with positive emotions

[random oyster]

Eitherway there will be reason to celebrate 😁

[hidden bronze]

Definitely

[sudden warren]

Haha good luck bro! Is that all youre missing? Controller and y3 deck?

[cobalt dust]

[sudden warren]

Sup hurt

[cobalt dust]

hello

how are you huck?

[sudden warren]

Good, relaxing for the moment

[waxen apex]

Morning gamers

[serene warren]

morning

[waxen apex]

How are you?

[serene warren]

Tired

[waxen apex]

):

[cobalt dust]

great to hear

[waxen apex]

How's Hurt?

[cobalt dust]

doing well

on the way to a drs appointment

[hidden bronze]

Yup!

Year 1 deck also, but I haven’t been around that long

[waxen apex]

You ready to part ways with some teeth?

[cobalt dust]

this one is just for my stomach lol

[vague mantle]

Great, I'm still playing skate 3 on my 360. Can't wait

[waxen apex]

Ah. What's wrong with your stomach?

[waxen apex]

They've come pretty far. You can see the progress best on the Skate. YouTube channel

[hidden bronze]

It’s been going well, by the looks of all the play-test footage and info from the Board Room
But it’ll still be a good while before we get our hands on it

[cobalt dust]

i have gallstones which causes pain in different areas of my stomach, so i’ve been getting that checked out for a while now

[sudden warren]

They pop up time to time you'll get it!

[waxen apex]

Damn man. That hurts to hear. Hopefully they pass

[vague mantle]

I'm still playing skate 3 on my x360

[hidden bronze]

Thankfully never experienced gallstones
But I know those’re excruciating

[hidden bronze]

I hope so
Full set would be awesome

[waxen apex]

Fr. I found one on FB marketplace for under $100 a few weeks ago

[sudden warren]

In time!

[hidden bronze]

I just wish I knew where to look lol
But first I’ll focus on getting the more recent ones

[random oyster]

I have none of them but really want to. Im dutch so shipping is a thing. Does anyone have a suggestion where to look? Places with international shipping

[sudden warren]

Yea once Jeff runs out for giveaways, fb, ebay etc. Obviously I'd stay patient cause you never know for the giveaways but for future reference

[hidden bronze]

Patience is my favourite virtue

Speaking of patience
I’m so excited for the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC coming out soon
My pre-order is looking worth it so far, with all the previews

[random oyster]

The ea Giveaways aren't allowed in the Netherlands because of rules 😔 so it has to be ebay or fb

[sudden warren]

Bummer. Maybe in the future!

And I'm excited for RE4 dlc in a couple weeks

[random oyster]

I hope!

[random oyster]

It's looking quite good indeed! I've been waiting to play cyberpunk till everything would be good but then I heard this dlc was coming with a 2.0 version so now I'm waiting on that lol. There's so many cool games releasing these months

[waxen apex]

I'm looking at getting a gaming laptop. Currently talking with a friend to help inform me about each option before I choose.

[hidden bronze]

Yeah, Update 2.0 will be a complete overhaul of the skill tree and gameplay
Comes out on the 21st, 5 days before Phantom Liberty

The only thing that sucks is that people that don’t have PC, Xbox Series S/X, or PS5, won’t be able to get either of them

[bold geyser]

is there going to be a beta in oceanic region?

[hidden bronze]

Most likely, yes

[bold geyser]

yippee yayyayaya (imagine in all caps)

[dull pilot]

When we get to Beta stage, we will have all the info you need.

The game is going to be global, so we can’t leave our Oceanic friends of course.

[waxen apex]

Yippee!!

[hidden bronze]

Woohoo! Australians like myself can represent!

(Of course that isn’t the only Oceanic country, but it’s where I’m from, haha)

[bold geyser]

same!

[hidden bronze]

Oh hell yeah, what state you from?

[bold geyser]

wa

[hidden bronze]

Ah, I’m from NSW

[loud harbor]

[gleaming peak]

Good morning

[gleaming peak]

Wait, it’s 4:35

My bad

[loud harbor]

I hope you have been having a great day

[loud harbor]

[waxen apex]

Hello gamers

[ionic heart]

I found someone leaking the skate beta with videos, what do I do

[keen perch]

Locate their address and send it to ea and blackbox

[unique nebula]

<@&857703195560509511>

[wraith snow]

Beat their backside

[sudden warren]

Wassup milk

i feel like those OCE people need some special treatment, they always get the short straw in videogames xD

#GiveOCEEastAndWest

[scenic nova]

New video on my 2nd channel if anyone wants to watch

#self-promotion-skate

Just a little comp clip nothing too special

Any support would be appreciated
Love y'all

[sudden warren]

Gotchu! Dropped a view, like and sub

[scenic nova]

No way! Cheers huck

Appreciate it

[vagrant willow]

What do they do when someone wins a giveaway but never answers dms

[scenic nova]

Reroll maybe idk?

[dull pilot]

at our discretion, we can reroll or restock for a future giveaway/sweeps/contest.

[scenic nova]

Who up skating they 3 rn

[rocky hearth]

Ahh the weekend 😎

[waxen apex]

[honest mortar]

[rocky hearth]

Ooh sum41 I started listening to them again lol

I saw the who is making new music

[honest mortar]

I get to see Pink in a few days but cause I have to work it

[rocky hearth]

Ooh nice

That should be good

[dull pilot]

Absolutely.

The first concert I went to when I moved to LA was Green Day. Next was John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl.

I’d love to see a Goldfinger/MXPX show.

Rancid and Dropkick Murphys “Boston to Berkeley” show in a parking lot 2 years ago was amazing.

[hidden bronze]

Hello everyone
I have awoken

[dull pilot]

Good morning!

[hidden bronze]

Preparing to go out and get my haircut done for my graduation

It’s in 3 days time, around the same time the giveaway ends

[dull pilot]

Kenny Hoopla was awesome live at The Roxy.

[hidden bronze]

Super pumped, yet equally afraid

[dull pilot]

Dude. I’m so proud of you! Congrats on your graduation!

[honest mortar]

I was suppose to work Bruce Springsteen last month till he got sick and cancelled

[dull pilot]

D’oh!

[hidden bronze]

Thank you so much Braddock, that means a lot to me

I’m still sort of in shock that the past 6 years of my education that I’ve been so used to, is ending so abruptly
I just had my last Photography lesson yesterday, my teacher gave everyone in the class homemade camera-shaped magnets

[vale anchor]

What an awesome memento!

[waxen apex]

Let's go man!! Proud of you homie!!

[waxen apex]

That's how I feel after every college semester. I'm on my last one too so it's gonna hurt more. It hurts way more when you enjoy your college classes and have to leave when you don't want to. I want to hang with the homies on a daily basis and make some beautiful content with them.

[hidden bronze]

Thank you all, seriously
Appreciate the kind words and support

This server has been one of the most kind and fun things to be a part of, I’m definitely glad to be a part of it, be surrounded with all you awesome people

[vale anchor]

It's great to have you be a part of it!

[waxen apex]

Same here man. That's why I stick around! You've only given me another reason to stick around!

I will definitely have fun, that’s a promise

[dull pilot]

Yeah. Crazy he’s 51.

[sudden warren]

Haha hell yea

[rocky hearth]

i know he looks likes he is 20s same as his kids

[dull pilot]

One of my former colleagues thought I was lying about my age. Made me feel good. (I’m 45. She thought I was 32. )

[rocky hearth]

i wish i was back in my 20s lol

[hidden bronze]

Well she isn’t wrong, you don’t look a day over 30

[honest mortar]

right

[dull pilot]

Not me. I love where I’m at. Learned my lessons and have more life stability. (Though the 20s were fun)

Besides, I was broke in my 20s. I like not being broke and owning a house.

[sudden warren]

Only thing I'd take is my metabolism from my early 20s

[rocky hearth]

true but dont you miss highschool days

[hidden bronze]

I’ll miss my high school days quicker than expected
I’m just a few days away from graduating, ahaha

[rocky hearth]

me too it was god times

i still think about it

[hidden bronze]

I’ll miss all the socialisation involved, but things happen, moving on to bigger and better things

[rocky hearth]

in highschool you never had to think about a job or money \

[hidden bronze]

Haha, precisely

Now I’m gonna have to juggle part-time with even more education soon, lol

[rocky hearth]

you were broke in your 20's?

[rocky hearth]

nothing wrong with that

[honest mortar]

my 20s was a lot of Skate 3

[rocky hearth]

and wow that took awhile

u know i saw thony hawy 4 on n64 LOOL

[hidden bronze]

Yeah, definitely not, thankful I can schedule them apart from each other, so I’m mot doing one after another on the same day

[rocky hearth]

still wish i got it

[rocky hearth]

thats good just remember in the end it will be all worth it

[hidden bronze]

Yeah, 100%

[rocky hearth]

also we game 100%

and also love you all ❤️

[worthy rune]

that’s awesome

[rocky hearth]

and there w4ntt my mouse LOL

went

[waxen apex]

I wonder if Skate. is gonna have Andrew Anthony's famous "EA Sports. It's in the game" quote upon startup

Also I'm working on a logo rn!

[random oyster]

Oof I feel this one 😭

[random oyster]

They should get Jason Lee to do it

[sacred nimbus]

ENOUGH with all the desperate giveaways, its almost been 4 years since announcement and its still in «pre pre pre alpha» tf is going on? Give us a trailer atleast

[gray fjord]

we do technically get trailers if you think about it, what with the highlights

and the board rooms are cool too

also wow has it really been 4 years since the announcement? that feels unreal

[lucid marsh]

most game devs don't give this much insight this early in development, we're being spoiled

often times they announce it when its really close to finished

[deft sedge]

Holy Crap I Just Realized I Can Use a Ps5 Controller on PS3 I Can Start Skating on Stake 2&3 IM SO HAPPY

[gray fjord]

You can?

[merry badger]

Apparently so

Strange that it's not compatible with the PS4, however

[gray fjord]

That's what'd make me assume it's incompatible with the PS3

[scenic gull]

yo 👋

how have yall been?

[dull pilot]

1. If you don’t want to participate in sweepstakes or UGC contests, that’s fine. You don’t have to. I’m gonna keep doing them as they’re fun, the people participating are having fun, and the winners have a lot of fun.
2. We’ve put out 12 videos since we announced skate. is being developed 3 years ago.
3. The game is being built. Good trailers represent the near finished/finished product. We’re not there yet. So no trailer yet.

[deft sedge]

Yea I can send you a vid on how to do it

[willow plume]

i use a PS4 controller on my PS3, controller needs to stay plugged in and not turned on

it's weird idk

[scenic nova]

Ik this is an odd question to ask here, but I bought Xbox live gold like an hour ago and activated it, how long does it take for it to fully work?

Because it still won't let me play online on skate 3

I've restarted my console too

[vale anchor]

I'm not sure if it's game specific or Xbox services but I'm seeing others report there is some kind of outage on xbox's end right now

Might be affecting that

[hidden bronze]

Hey y’all
Can’t sleep, so I’m just checkin’ in

[random oyster]

Hey massa! Best tip to do is get out of bed, walk around a bit drink something and then freshly try again to go sleep that always works better instead of staying in bed

[hidden bronze]

Thanks for the tips
I tried going to sleep earlier with some music playing, woke up again around an hour before I sent that message, and just felt restless

[scenic nova]

It's working now

[dull pilot]

June 2020. 3 years, 2 months, 27 days.

[gray fjord]

yeah thought 4 years was too far ahead

But we're not too far away from it

the games really taken shape in the time it's been developed

[hidden bronze]

Damn, it felt like yesterday

[sudden warren]

It does

[elfin jacinth]

Also crazy to think it's taking this long yet years ago games would be developed within 2-3 years I miss when games actually were dropping

[dull pilot]

June 19, 2020.
Cuz & D announced at the all-digital EA Play (because of Covid, we didn’t have a live event) “we’re back!”
Jan 2021 - Full Circle, EA’s first fully remote studio, is officially formed (though the team was already working on stuff)
June 2021 - skate.’s first official community home in 8 years opened. this Discord.
July 2022 - started external closed playtests.

[dull pilot]

any specific ones in mind? are they games that have been having regular releases and are yearly releases or are they new IPs?
also, an example: GTAV started preliminary development in 2008, then went into full development in 2010 and released in 2013. (That’s 5 years).

most indie games averaged 3 years in development, AAA games avg 3-5.

[elfin jacinth]

Skate 3 for example came a year after skate 2...

[hidden bronze]

Been a good long run since then
I just wish I knew about this Discord server from the beginning, would’ve joined at the drop of a hat

[random oyster]

Also people expect more and more now a days from a game

[elfin jacinth]

if was in development thrn that's what I miss

[dull pilot]

yep, and it was a sequel and they had the engine, assets and whatnot from the 1 & 2.
FC started from scratch for skate.

[elfin jacinth]

I miss the constant drops and don't say it was rushed cause was a great game

[hidden bronze]

A game that’s had a big development was Cyberpunk 2077
Teaser for that came out in 2013, game dropped 2020

[elfin jacinth]

So how long was the first skate in development so I can get a understanding on how long it took the first time vs this go around

Cause imo we used to pump out games left and right not sure what happened

[lucid marsh]

new engines

[random oyster]

Should not have dropped in 2020 though 😂

[lucid marsh]

more intricate motion capture

[elfin jacinth]

Also you said 5 years which is great I'd wait that long but unfortunately that's not how it goes anymore now games are taking 10+ years to come out

[dull pilot]

honestly, that was before my time. I joined the industry in 2010 (5 months after Skate 3 launched)

[hidden bronze]

It needed way more time to marinate, definitely
But look at the game now, it’s looking amazing leading up to Phantom Liberty and Update 2.0’s release

[lucid marsh]

more advanced tech = longer development time, because of the human factor

[dull pilot]

• costs, plus an established studio vs a studio newly formed and still hiring.

[lucid marsh]

true

[hidden bronze]

If Cyberpunk was still how it was in 2020 at launch, I definitely wouldn’t have sunk the 700-ish hours I have now

[dull pilot]

I’m gonna be on my 5th playthrough when Phantom Liberty drops. 622 hrs so far.

[hidden bronze]

Duuude, had no idea you played
Excited?

[dull pilot]

very.

[random oyster]

It did. I have such sympathy for the devs, all those crunch time just to get hated on by all the public. I am really happy full circle takes it time and it looks like ea let's them, which is not something I have come to expect from EA.

[elfin jacinth]

With all the ai tools out their today you'd think it would be easier for humans to work lol

[river abyss]

Where can i ask a technical question regarding the ea app and the playtest?

[zenith sand]

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

[hidden bronze]

If you haven’t checked it out yet CDPR dropped a Build Planner leading up to 2.0
I need to figure out a game plan so I can respec

[dull pilot]

Ai is not the be-all-end-all solution. And it is still in its infancy.

[elfin jacinth]

True but I have seen some great stuff being built with it it definitely can help in some aspects

[hidden bronze]

Plus the Original Score for Phantom Liberty was released about an hour ago too
P.T Adamczyk and Jacek Paciorkowski are so good with Cyberpunk’s scores

[dull pilot]

My favorite game soundtrack composer is Hans Zimmer.

[lucid marsh]

idk bout u but I want humans to make games, under fair circumstances, without crunching ✌️

[hidden bronze]

P.T Adamcyk and Marcin Przybylowicz are head-to-head for my favourite composers
What they did with Cyberpunk is legendary

[vale anchor]

You would think, but outside of very specific things, it can create more work than it saves right now

[lucid marsh]

Ai has no soul

[waxen apex]

Good morning everyone!!

[hidden bronze]

AI has its perk… just depends what you use it for
It should be used in tandem with people as an assistance tool that the developer can use if necessary, not as a replacement for the developer themselves

[hidden bronze]

Morning Kaiza!

[waxen apex]

How are you amigo?

[hidden bronze]

I’m okay, can’t sleep, but I’m still good
Listening to Phantom Liberty’s score right now, it’s so damn good

[vale anchor]

You know what helps me sleep? Playing Minecraft

[hidden bronze]

I haven’t played Minecraft in a good while
Hasn’t really been my thing in recent years

[waxen apex]

I wanna play modded Minecraft with friends

[vale anchor]

Which is why it can help you sleep

[waxen apex]

I see your point

[dull pilot]

Wrote a song 20 years ago.
Sorta a punk ballad.
Threw it into ChatGPT to see what Ai could make. It was decent, but lacked any emotional depth. Technically, it was a good song, but it felt sterilized and too artificial. Like the Uncanny Valley of music.

AI can be a useful tool, but definitely not a replacement for human creativity, passion, emotion, and feeling. And we (games industry) want those things for games - drawing out emotion, creating passion and evoking feelings.

[vale anchor]

Find a safe spot, keep mining, drift off listening to the lullaby of the rain and the dun dun dun dun do da do doooo

[elfin jacinth]

It's been 84 years... /s lol

[waxen apex]

In one of my college classes, we were recording songs and we used one of my beats and we used ChatGPT to write rap lyrics. The most cringe lyrics were made that day. It made no sense and lacked all emotional depth like you said.

[elfin jacinth]

Or it could go the other way and keep you up for hours as you build lol

[lucid marsh]

I can't embed #cringe

but I get it

[lucid marsh]

👴

[vale anchor]

The amount of times I've accidentally fallen asleep building in Minecraft is too many haha

[dull pilot]

As someone that sleeps no more that 5 hours a day (physiologically, my body won’t let me sleep longer), I find restful meditation and quieting my mind to help.

I usually think of peaceful memories - like walking the beaches in Greece, or riding Black Bess through the twisty roads heading to Big Bear. Slow your breathing, focus on the sights, sounds, smells, and feelings of those moments. Feel your body lose tension and start to drift.

[hidden bronze]

This is exactly what I think
It’s a tool, not a replacement
It’s like whenever you see AI art, it’s imperfect, but not the human kind of perfect where there’s the occasional wrong stroke of a digital pen that they forgot to tweak
AI art can create people that have pupils that just don’t look right, missing a finger or two, stuff like that
AI is exactly that; it’s not human, won’t ever be. It’s a useful tool, and probably shouldn’t progress past it being just that

[waxen apex]

I do this. It works everyone.

[cobalt dust]

morning

[hidden bronze]

Morning hurt! Good to see ya

[waxen apex]

Hi Hurt. How are you?

[dull pilot]

Jane (my wife) used to fall asleep when we’d play City of Heroes late at night when we were dating. As my controller/healer (me as tank/DPS), I’d notice she had stopped following me. I’d have to call her to wake her up and log out. Hahah

[waxen apex]

That's sweet

[vale anchor]

I'm just tired today because I had to get up extra early to finish my safety class. But passed and got my certification and sticker signifying it and I'm happy

[hidden bronze]

Aww, that’s sweet

[waxen apex]

Let's go!!

[dull pilot]

Congrats!!!

[waxen apex]

Congrats Skyfi

[hidden bronze]

That’s awesome to hear! I have a similar qualification (construction safety), so I can relate to that sort of thing!

[scenic gull]

Cert for what?

[hidden bronze]

It’s basic WHS stuff

[vale anchor]

That I'm a safe person to be around in the wilderness and can always ride the front seat passenger side of a vehicle haha

[hidden bronze]

If you’ve ever heard of a White card Sky, that’s what it is
It’s a general construction induction card

[vale anchor]

That might be a local thing

[hidden bronze]

Yeah, most likely an Australian-specific qualification

Was just wondering

[rancid timber]

Hallo

[vale anchor]

[rancid timber]

It's 1:40 in the morning

[cobalt dust]

[rancid timber]

I ain't sleeping

Deadass boutta make some Shin Ramyun Black noodles

[cobalt dust]

doing well, i woke up pretty tired

[hidden bronze]

A situation we both appear to share

[rancid timber]

Tis the vibe rn

[hidden bronze]

Lol, seems we’re all exhausted 😂

[waxen apex]

Wake up

[rancid timber]

So yeah, ramen and Russian Badger vids

[hidden bronze]

Might have a can of Pringles and an ice cold Kirks Pasito in a couple minutes

[rancid timber]

Pasito omggggg

Pasito is the nectar of the gods

I'm actually gonna miss it when I go back home

[hidden bronze]

My family’s started buying 3 ten packs of sugar-free Pasito every fortnight or so

It’s so good

[rancid timber]

Like, it's not L&P levels of lovely, but damn

[hidden bronze]

Kirks sugar-free Orange flavour is so good too

Reminds me of Sunkist

[rancid timber]

I haven't had an L&P in 3 years

Hopefully I can go to New Zealand this year

[hidden bronze]

Remind me what L&P is again?

[rancid timber]

Lemon drink from New Zealand

It's like a lemony-ginger beer thing

And I remember it being actually god tier

[hidden bronze]

Ahh

Not the biggest fan of ginger beer

I can definitely say though, Phantom Liberty score is godly

[rancid timber]

Noice

Ok, gonna wash my bowl, and make some noodles

I have a pack of the Black version of Shin Ramyun noodles

That premium shtuff

[hidden bronze]

Oh hell yeah my man, enjoy

[dull pilot]

My wife brought some instant sticky noodle packages from the HMart. So spicy, so good. (I leave a bit of water to make it more brothy than just sticky noodle)

[hidden bronze]

I haven’t ever been a big noodles person

Maybe one day I’ll try em out with something nice in them

[dull pilot]

when i make shin ramen, i usually slice some leftover brisket to drop in, crack an egg while it's boiling the broth, add some minced garlic and sesame oil, side of lightly salted crisp seaweed sheets. so good.

[hidden bronze]

Oooh, the minced garlic sounds like a must

[rancid timber]

Noodles are bussin

[hidden bronze]

With brisket, too
Last time I had brisket, it was a pork brisket that was made with some sort of chilli oil or marinade, was so damn nice

[dull pilot]

back when i worked in the DICE LA office, I had a mini-fridge that had minced garlic in it, in one of my filing cabinets I had sesame oil, chopsticks, broth spoons, and packs of seaweed, and at least 6-8 packs of 2-3 types of ramen.

always prepared.

[dull pilot]

ooh. that sounds tasty.
i love a good smoked pork loin - especially with the right wood to smoke it, a decent light glaze. but the best is making pulled pork from smoked pork loin.

[hidden bronze]

When I was little, I used to grab two or three little packs of ready-to-eat noodles, crunch them up, put em in a bowl, and sprinkle chicken seasoning all over the top
Made for a nice easy snack after school

[honest mortar]

You guys making me hungry. I'm lucky I get free food at work

[dull pilot]

my wife told me when she was a kid in Seoul, South Korea, they'd take instant ramen, crunch it up in the bag, open the seasoning (not the dehydrated veggies) and shake it in, then shake the whole bag.
instant personal "chips".

it's actually delicious but makes you SOOOO thirsty. (and if you drink enough water, you make ramen in your belly. LOL)

[hidden bronze]

There’s a burger place near me called Grill’d
One of the employee benefits is that they’re allowed to make themselves one burger every shift
I’d work there if fast food jobs weren’t so stressful and demanding

[hidden bronze]

Oh my god, yes, that’s precisely what I’d do!

[rancid timber]

I think I knew kids who did that in HK

[dull pilot]

working in the service industry does have its perks.
worked at this long-established/well-known TexMex place in Austin and we'd get a $7 meal allowance per shift, plus 50% anything over that.
i worked breakfasts in the restaurant upstairs, and brunch/nights in the downstairs bar. great food.

[hidden bronze]

I’m probably gonna work part-time in retail
Stocking shelves sounds slow and easy for my neurodivergent brain

[honest mortar]

I work in a VIP kitchen, yeah I'm not trying to work a fast food haha

[waxen apex]

I work retail

[dull pilot]

i did that right before joining the games industry. worked as a manager in a hotel gift shop/store (not for the hotel) in downtown Austin.
it's one of the nicer ones, so all the movie stars and bands woudl stay there. was peaceful when there were no customers, so i'd clean and organize to the point i'd take the shelves off the walls, windex the glass shelves, reorganize and restock stuff.
best part was i met a ton of celebrities.
was cool.
didn't pay great, but it was a chill job for a while.

[waxen apex]

I remember you telling stories about working there

[honest mortar]

The food my kitchen cooks goes to like the MLB players and the richie riches..

[hidden bronze]

A chill part-time job that pays is all I need while I’m doing extra studies after graduating

[dull pilot]

yeah. i just wanted to make sure to pay my bills, have $ for food, and maybe go out once or twice a week to have some beverages.

[hidden bronze]

Yeah, if that’s all I do for a while, I’m happy with that
Just wanna have money to treat myself to a simple lunch once in a while, or save to get something nice

[honest mortar]

my job actually pays real well and I get to watch free baseball/other sports

just hopefully Phillies make it to the world series tho

[hidden bronze]

That ribhouse I went to where I had a meatball parmigiana (pics of it in #food ) had Formula D playing on the bar TV
I always get distracted whenever I see Formula D playing in public places, haha

[honest mortar]

@hidden bronze that's the view about to see soon with that picture

no fans today

[hidden bronze]

That’s so cool
I don’t often go to live sports events

[honest mortar]

have to go or get fired lol

[hidden bronze]

Hah, that important huh?

[honest mortar]

I work the VIP kitchens there

[hidden bronze]

Ahh, that makes sense

[honest mortar]

when I ment I get to watch free baseball games/other sports haha

one upside of my job the skatepark like 2 blocks away

[hidden bronze]

Oh hell yeah, that’s definitely an upside

My local park is a fairly long walk from my place

Google Maps says it’s 41 minute walk there
But I am a fairly slow walk
So closer to an hour to get there

[honest mortar]

if I'm lazy to go irl I can play my local park in session haha

[hidden bronze]

That’s so cool

[honest mortar]

say 35 min walk from my place

10-13 mins with my e-board

[hidden bronze]

I probably couldn’t ride to my park

Lots of elevation/ground changes

[honest mortar]

damn

In Philly just gotta watch out for like 80 potholes a block

[hidden bronze]

Yeah, grounds rough where I live too
Rough neighbourhood in every sense of the term

[celest vault]

what did the skate 3 maintenance change?

[honest mortar]

you can now play with gamecube players

[celest vault]

😐

[keen perch]

Bruh 😭😭

[waxen apex]

It's true

I was the GameCube

[rancid timber]

Just need to update it for the Intellivision players

[scenic gull]

What le sakte? Sounds like an interesting idea

[waxen apex]

How is everyone?

[gleaming peak]

i love skate 2

[waxen apex]

I'm playing through skate. (2007)

[worthy rune]

just posted a tiktok using the mobile controls on it lol

[waxen apex]

Let's go

I really wanna play it rn but I'm working 😭

It's so fun and goofy

Also I'm weird. I skate reg in game and skate goofy irl

[worthy rune]

i was actually doing pretty good, surprisingly lol

i skate goofy and goofy though lol

[waxen apex]

Ya goof

Jk

I've been trickling in regular for years and only started skating irl in July

[lucid marsh]

I was always a little put off in Skate (2007) bc you're goofy by default

some challenges start you off in goofy stance even though you chose regular

[worthy rune]

and some will start you in regular as well, especially in pro s.k.a.t.e challenges

[lucid marsh]

oh right, maybe it was based on your opponents stance

I really like doing the pro skate challenges but you can cheese them super easy

by doing 540 combos

[worthy rune]

yeah i think so, i did some today lol

triple flips and 540s, except you can’t do triple flips on that stair set

[scenic gull]

hmmm

tim knows something we dont..

[random oyster]

I always pushed Mongo as a kid (didn't know your not supposed to push like that) so I always positioned my character and used square or x sometimes so it would push Mongo cuz it felt right to kid me

[waxen apex]

As much as I dislike mongo, I can't blame you at all

[lucid marsh]

can't beat a proper switch mongo

[waxen apex]

Ravioli ravioli, give me the formuoli

[lucid marsh]

[split sluice]

I actually love skate so much I need to come back BUT I got no console atm 😔

[random oyster]

You could use gamepass! With that you can use the cloud play and won't need a console to play skate 1 and 3

[split sluice]

Ohhhh yeah I keep forgetting about that but I swear you need to be in like a radius of an Xbox

Also how is @gleaming peak still not a mod ????

A crime

[random oyster]

Nope you do not, if your using remote play with your xbox on your own local network then yeah the xbox is close by but with cloud play you can play anywhere you want as long as you have a good stable internet connection

[gleaming peak]

pepehands

im still a community member at least

Rolled chicken taco deluxe box

[cobalt dust]

skate it and skate 1 can both work on phone with touch controls

[boreal raven]

[random oyster]

Can you still get skate it on ios?

[hidden bronze]

I believe it was taken off the App Store a long while ago

[random oyster]

Sad, I haven't played that one. Is it worth it though? Might still be able to get it on Wii I guess?

[hidden bronze]

I haven’t played it, unfortunately

Don’t have the means to do so myself

[neon owl]

Not anymore. If you downloaded in the past, you can redownload it from your past purchases. But, it still only works on certain phones. I can only get it to work on my iPhone 4S, and it has to be on a certain iOS version. Same with the iPad gen 1. Any other iOS or apple products gives me crashes.

[scenic gull]

woah this is a flash from the past lol

[cinder folio]

Hi

Can any do kickflip

[neon owl]

I also have a video on my phone of the reviews, game details, and ads from the App Store. lol. Side note.. that Pandora app still works, but I can’t search music. Can only play my previous saved station searches.

[scenic gull]

Mind boggling. Cant wait to finally see the modern day iteration of skate.

[neon owl]

Gonna be sick! Can’t wait to see the final product

[hidden bronze]

So many things for me to be excited about recently

skate’s development, Phantom Liberty and Update 2.0 for Cyberpunk 2077, and most importantly, my graduation

[neon owl]

Congrats on your graduation! Knowledge is power! 🎉

[hidden bronze]

Thanks for the love Toasty

[sudden warren]

One more day right?

[sleek night]

Finally i can talk

[hidden bronze]

Almost
26 more hours until the day

It’s two hours until the day just before my graduation

I’m so excited yet nervous

[queen chasm]

[gleaming peak]

Hi

[echo harbor]

[neon owl]

You mean people actually do this stuff irl?

I can hardflip. I learned them after getting muska flips. Biggest thing I’ve ever done was probably fakie big or fakie 360 off a loading dock

Fakie muskas are so fun

[boreal raven]

[lime osprey]

hello

[random oyster]

I only longboard now after not skating for 14 years. I just prefer cruising around instead of doing tricks and going to a skate park

How about you? Do you skateboard?

There's certainly some skaters here! Check out #irl-skateboarding-chat and show off your tricks or progress in #irl-skate-videos-and-clips or pics and don't hesitate to ask advice on something theres always someone to help

[cobalt dust]

Have you tried fast travelling using the challenge map?

[neon owl]

Might wanna skitch Niks car. Cars go faster when you hang on the back

What luck! This server is the official home of the upcoming, new, free to play skateboarding game “skate.” created by the original creators of the franchise and being developed by Full Circle.

[lucid marsh]

you need to apply for playtesting

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

[lucid marsh]

then you can be selected for it

but its not a given

[scenic gull]

i mean, good luck signing up, i'm getting an error everytime i try lmao

[vale anchor]

Didn't you sign up awhile back?

[scenic gull]

a bunch of my accounts got hacked a while back, i got most of em back but the email that was linked to my EA account unfortunately hasnt been recovered

been trying to sign up for the past month or so, all i get is an error saying there's 'higher than expected website activity'

[lucid marsh]

I will neither confirm nor deny

[sudden warren]

One day... one day ill get back to consistent skating and start learning some new stuff

[hidden bronze]

Morning guys!

[vale anchor]

How about you not even play that game before you accidentally slip up. You are clearly doing the "I may or may not have a secret hehe" game and it's a bit obvious

Any ideas on what your going to do next?

Take a little break or straight into the next thing

[hidden bronze]

Gonna have an 6-8 week break, then go to TAFE to do a Certificate II in Auto Detailing

While doing part-time work alongside that

[random oyster]

Nice! A break is very good to do, auto detailing is so nice and satisfying to do I actually considered going to work at Harley Davidson here in my spare time to do detailling. Are you going to open your own business?

[wraith snow]

Baby yoda knows whats upppp!!!

[hidden bronze]

I’m not too aspirative to open my own business
I don’t have great business sense, hahaha

[random oyster]

That's allright, maybe someday you'll suddenly feel it

[hidden bronze]

Auto detailing is a good business, lots of work in it

[random oyster]

True and I'm seeing it more and more around here and the result can be truly amazing

[wraith snow]

how is everyone doiiingggg?

[random oyster]

Alive! It's a fresh new week, weather is good rn and just chilling at the office. How are you Luna?

[wraith snow]

im gooooood! just vibin! playing smth fun atm, thinking abt going skating later, :O

[random oyster]

Heck yeah! You going for a cruise or to a park?

[wraith snow]

ive only been skating for 12 days, so im mainly perfecting my ollies and shuv its atm, and then learning how to cruise around the small not so good park i have in my city, and as i get better, ill go to a bigger park!

[random oyster]

Wow 12 days and already perfecting shuvs and Ollie's. It took me days before I finally had little Ollie going on my timing is always off

[wraith snow]

idk if im just lucky, but ive been playing skate games since i was around 9-10 yrs old, and used to ride around on a penny board, so maybe my understanding for how the board works has like, given me a boost in progress-

[random oyster]

Ah yeah I think the penny board skill gives a boost. Riding one of those is black magic to me, so small and wobbly

i once fell and scraped almost my whole forearm, sooooo that also helps with not being scared of failing LMAO

Nice! First time? How did it go

[hidden bronze]

It’s 12:20 AM now, and it’s an 11:30 AM start, but we’re meant to be there by 9:00 AM to get fitted for our gowns
So about 9-11 hours, give or take

[scenic gull]

never say yaaas to me ever again 😭

[random oyster]

Whoops sorry? What's wrong? It's quite normal here to say when excited

[hidden bronze]

You didn’t do anything wrong Cap, don’t want about it

[scenic gull]

im sorry but it's just....

the yaaas is so unbelievably uncomfortable to me cuz guys would say it all the time in a mocking way to me

[hidden bronze]

All good, was just a misunderstanding
Let’s not worry about it people

[random oyster]

Ooh well I'm not mocking. I'm happy for you because you seem happy about doing the makeup😁

[random oyster]

Oh man! You should try to get some sleep then haha

[sudden warren]

Yea, it's a very commonly used slang term used for excitement!

[hidden bronze]

Haha probably, but I’m so damn nervous and awestruck

[random oyster]

Whoops, I never even heard of that! Lemme adjust the message

[sudden warren]

No, like the way you used it is fine

[random oyster]

Some tea, relaxing music, maybe play a bit of skate get your mind off it and then try to get some sleep. You do want to be alive and kicking for the big moment😁

[hidden bronze]

Yeah there was anything wrong with how you said it Cap
Usagi wasn’t used to people using the term in a non-mocking fashion and may have misunderstood the meaning
I understand that, I occasionally struggle with understanding the way people mean to say things through text rather than speech
Nobody’s in the wrong here

[hidden bronze]

Haha, that’s the truth
I’ll get to bed soon, promise

[sudden warren]

Def get some rest!

[hidden bronze]

Pinkie promise, lol

[cobalt dust]

[zenith fossil]

as a skategame I will buy skate. when it comes out, but now session is on sale (for 90% off) should I buy it?

[random oyster]

It might fill the void untill skate. Comes out and the good news is skate. Will be free to play so you have money to spend now on session haha

[zenith fossil]

wait it will be free to play?

[worthy rune]

absolutely

[zenith fossil]

uh oh i love microtransactions then KEKW

I even get skyrim with it for half the price of skate

15 bucks for both of the games

[worthy rune]

session is 90% off right now? might have to grab it myself

[zenith fossil]

no not on steam now

on a different site (shit slowmode KEKW

[worthy rune]

on pc i’m assuming then?

[zenith fossil]

ye

I trust them, I already spend like 70 quid on games there

but idk if tis a good deal

but how do you know that skate. is free to play (and ofc there will be microtransactions cuz its EA)

fair

[waxen apex]

Good morning

[zenith fossil]

yeh, skate 1,2,3 were also a paid game

I bought 3 copies of skate 3 in like 2013

[random oyster]

Hi Kaiza!

[waxen apex]

Hello 👋

[vale anchor]

Which is definitely not going to happen

[scenic nova]

Just had my first day of my second year of college

Twas quite good

[icy pilot]

Congratulation's on your survival, 😄

[scenic nova]

Thanks 😂

[cobalt dust]

[proud trout]

noice dude!

[waxen apex]

#Kuma4Skate

[proud trout]

new sticker?

[sudden warren]

#game-announcements

Sorry, #frequently-asked-questions-and-more

[waxen apex]

Not that new. Maybe a month or two old.

[cobalt dust]

[waxen apex]

Hi Hurt

[sudden warren]

[gleaming peak]

I hope everyone has a great day today

[sudden warren]

You too Nik!

[zenith fossil]

I have 1 question, will the publisher be EA?

EA is known for microtransactions (look at fifa)

look at NFS

[vale anchor]

Just like the previous games are seeing as they own the IP and this is SkateEA, yes

[zenith fossil]

fair skateEA is not electronic arts

[vale anchor]

Yes. Yes it is. That's literally how that works

[zenith fossil]

fair KEKW

[scenic gull]

so?

microtransactions dont automatically mean a bad game

'not pay to win'
'no map areas locked behind paywall'
'no paid loot boxes'
'no paid gameplay advantages'

[lucid marsh]

nobody's forcing you to buy anything

[zenith fossil]

I actually dont like microtransactions, children cant handle it aswell as adults

[dull pilot]

yeah. Full Circle is an EA studio.

[ornate tapir]

Nice

[worthy rune]

skate 1, 2, and 3 didn’t really have micro transactions, just dlcs

[ornate tapir]

I mean this skate is going to be free for everyone

[worthy rune]

which is why i think there is gonna be lots of micro transactions

[ornate tapir]

They said it’ll be solely cosmetics from what I remember, so there won’t be any paywalls

Or there shouldn’t be at least, I’ll try find the video cap

[worthy rune]

which is good but i also want to see some dlcs

[ornate tapir]

Hopefully 🤞

[sudden warren]

From Full Circle themselves^

[ornate tapir]

That's what I was thinking, thank you

It seems EA is giving full studio control for the game which is exciting

[worthy rune]

even if the dlcs are just giving you some more stuff to place down or whatever

[ornate tapir]

Will the game be live service @dull pilot (gradual updates) like destiny 2 for example

[worthy rune]

pretty sure yeah

[ornate tapir]

Sick

Definitely going to come back to play with old 360 friends

[worthy rune]

awesome sauce

[scenic gull]

complaining about microtransactions in a modern online game is like complaining that water is wet

a lot of players seem to not mind, it makes the companies money, it helps bring a more affordable entry way into gaming when a game is free to play but has microtransactions rather than completely locking the game behind a paywall

think about it; skate is trying to be more accessible to everybody

its free to play, coming to pc, and both current and old gen consoles, with mobile in consideration too

skating has gotten way more diverse these past few years and they're making a game that represents and celebrates that

[scenic gull]

i'm personally hoping for a switch port one day, the switch has a significant lack of skating games, all you have is tony hawk 1+2 and session

[random oyster]

I tried session on switch and didn't really like it.. is it better on ps5/xbox?

[zenith fossil]

Which mod warned me for my status KEKW

[zenith fossil]

I bought session and I thought hmm not skate feels, maybe cuz it’s more difficult and different

[dull pilot]

It doesn’t matter.
Rules 3 and 8 apply.

[dull pilot]

The team has long term plans for skate., and we’ll share those details as time goes on. I can say, we plan on supporting skate. and this community for a long time.

[wraith snow]

Can we have any info on like, idc if its when the game releases or before release, but what the people in the first skate. Working on it trailer saw?

[sudden warren]

I've never had this much faith in a game. And that's not me being a suck up. Nobody is this transparent and this willing to show the game off in such an early state. It's awesome to see it grow as time goes on

[ornate tapir]

W man thank you for your teams work

[sudden warren]

And LISTEN to everything the community has to say

[dull pilot]

We haven’t announced a release date. Gotta cook the soup before you set it in the table.

And you’ve seen everything they saw.

[ornate tapir]

Is merchandise still available ?

[hidden bronze]

I know, right? This kind of transparency is something to be cherished

[sudden warren]

#announcements message

[sudden warren]

Exactly. I've been around gaming for uhhh.. let's say a few years... and its awesome to see

[wraith snow]

So when they said “i don’t wanna look like anybody else” have we actually seen how the customization options can completely make us look however we want ingame? Have i missed that? Or has that not been shown yet?

[dull pilot]

The team is focusing on the "feel" right now - gameplay, how it feels, what makes you want to keep playing, the experience. Customization and representation are critical, but we haven't shared much yet.

[wraith snow]

Completely valid! And makes sense! Just wanted to know if i had missed smth ahah

[lethal notch]

Good afternoon all

[lethal notch]

Also this soup analogy is making me hungry

[dull pilot]

I'm making ramen.

[lethal notch]

Good ol noodle soup

Slap a few eggs and some cumin in that and you've got yourself a banger meal.

[dull pilot]

Done. And some sesame oil, garlic, and a side of nori

[lethal notch]

Nice, haven't tried the garlic with ramen, but im sure it tastes wonderful

Imma have to eat more soup this winter. Nothing beter than a warm bowl of chicken noodle on a cold night.

For now I have a ton of trailmix that imma chow down on.

[worthy rune]

sometimes i crush up my ramen and put the packet in

[waxen apex]

For real man!! If I never saw a peek behind the curtain like FC is doing, I probably wouldn't have any faith. You never see games this early in development. You usually see some trailers and have to pray that it'll be a fire game.

[waxen apex]

Exactly what I do! I don't like long ramen all the time

[worthy rune]

i’m doing it right now 🤣

[gleaming peak]

that sounds good as hell right now

i feeling lowkey sick, i might need some ramen. Save me a plate

[chilly dome]

there were 2 leaks one saying skate. was free and the other one saying it was coming to mobile??

[worthy rune]

skate. is gonna be free

[gleaming peak]

that isnt a leak, they mentioned in the board rooms

[pallid blade]

those aren't leaks bro lol

[worthy rune]

and not confirmed if it’s coming to mobile yet or not

[gleaming peak]

mobile isnt 100% either

[sudden warren]

Aka cod

[sudden warren]

#frequently-asked-questions-and-more

[boreal raven]

[chilly dome]

sorry I'm new to the server

it was like a year old video from a skate 3 yt

well that's great I don't have to buy it

[pallid blade]

no worries, if youre looking for more info on the game you should go to #youtube-feed and watch the board room videos, thats where we get most of our skate info from

[chilly dome]

but how would they port it to mobile that would be crazy

[pallid blade]

phones are crazy these days tbf, i think i saw that that new iphone can run stuf like resident evil 4 or smthn

[chilly dome]

I hope I will be able to play online features because my account's age is under

[worthy rune]

🤦‍♂️

[waxen apex]

That was exactly what I was thinking 😂

[scenic gull]

Hope the skate gods bless me with a W for the giveaway

[worthy rune]

i’ll have you know that i am NOT staying up for that 🤣

[waxen apex]

I got an MF Doom ring and I wish you luck 🙏

[hidden bronze]

I hope I win too
That would make my day much better than it already is!

[worthy rune]

good luck to all

[hidden bronze]

Mhmm! Good luck to everyone who’s entered!

[cobalt dust]

[waxen apex]

Dean Martin is a vibe

[hidden bronze]

Hey everyone!
It’s official, I’ve finally graduated from high school!

Took a lot of work, but I’m happy that I go through it to begin the next chapter of my life!
I’m so happy to be a part of this community, especially one as supportive and amazing as this one, and that I’ll continue to be a member of it over the next few years
Thanks everyone, I mean it with the upmost sincerity

[vagrant willow]

Who else staying up to see the giveaway results 🕺🕺

[worthy rune]

me probably

[vagrant willow]

Hope u get it

@worthy rune are you Skate3cap?

[worthy rune]

nope never heard of him

probably super washed and sucks at skate 3 though

[lavish lodge]

I cannot wait for this game to come out! So mad at myself for not seeing the survey email to get into the playtest and letting it expire. Used to love how skate 1 had a demo on the PS3 that released maybe a week before the full game? We’d play the tiny map over and over and by the time the game came out we were bolts on everything!! Now I’ve got kids of my own and can’t wait to show them the skate experience!

[zenith sand]

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