😔

[icy pilot]

I hear we are getting an N64 version tho

[plush carbon]

My PC will handle it good

[scenic gull]

Haha could you imagine. Dreamcast

[sudden warren]

This alone is not a good idea

[sudden warren]

Nah that was skate 3 thanks to calplex

[icy pilot]

[plush carbon]

That would be so cool if they'd do something like what GIANTS did for Farming Simulator
They released a full version of this game for Commodore 64

[scenic gull]

Id love something retro

[plush carbon]

Imagine we get a skate. port on the... idk
Vectrex

[devout hill]

on the Commodore 64

[plush carbon]

Come to think of it
Maybe you need to be in this server for the playtests to arrive

[plush carbon]

Alright

[plush carbon]

Will do so once I'm home

[sudden warren]

Is it an official t shirt??

Or something you made yourself?

[plush carbon]

it's an official one

i don't have a picture of it nor do i find it online though

[sudden warren]

I'm curious now! Lol

[cosmic oasis]

[violet tapir]

URGH.

[scenic gull]

Silly 😜

[cosmic oasis]

[sudden warren]

You'd be surprised what people have 👀

[wraith snow]

SPOILER : Huck has a massive skate. franchise board collection, with a few things from other skateboarding franchises aswell :)

[torn quest]

🙂

[plush carbon]

oohh

I'm a skateboarding game fanatic

i have dozens of them, on every console
From NES to PC and Game Boy, PS3, etc etc

[zenith sand]

[wraith snow]

everything is in the emails everyone have recieved, we do not discuss to play tests here :D

#rules to help u catch up

[cosmic dome]

hi

[wraith snow]

heyo

[cosmic dome]

how are you

[wraith snow]

good good, eating popcorn, drinking cola and watching across the spider-verse

[cosmic dome]

that's good

[scenic gull]

Have the confirmed or denied coach frank

[wraith snow]

nope- tho if wether hes in skate. or not, we will always have skate 3 to go back to- and show love to coach frank there

[plush carbon]

coach frank lives in our hearts

[scenic gull]

I need my fat coach

[cosmic dome]

yessir

[scenic gull]

When the playtest?

[zenith sand]

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

[plush carbon]

one day or another, it may be tomorrow or in 47681646341 days, nobody really knows

[cosmic dome]

has anything new happened with skate tho I haven't kept up with it in a while?

[scenic gull]

Is it NDA? Or under NDA?

[plush carbon]

it is under NDA i believe

if you reveal anything about it

you don't want to know what they'll do.
👁️ 👁️

[wraith snow]

yes, anything about receiving emails / being in the play tests, is under NDA

[scenic gull]

Ok

[wraith snow]

i know what they do. and trust me. im scarred for life. coach frank said... he would break my board. truly traumatizing

[plush carbon]

he told me i would become Dem Bonez!

[scenic gull]

When skate. Started development

[wraith snow]

[plush carbon]

I guess around 2019-2020

[wraith snow]

uhhh sometime in 2020, maybe a lil before

[plush carbon]

if you mean the new one

[scenic gull]

Yes

[plush carbon]

the first one was about 2005-2006 if i remember seeing stuff

[scenic gull]

[wraith snow]

yes then 2020, maybe a lil before- but when it was announced, it had barely started sooooo, we have basically been there since the very very beginning

[plush carbon]

yeah

[violet tapir]

Announced in 2020 but they didn’t have the studio formed yet so it was very very early

[plush carbon]

I first played a skate. game when I was about 6
It was 2011 and my cousin used to let me play skate 3 on his xbox 360

[cosmic oasis]

Dang you're making me feel ancient

I was 14/15 in 2011

[plush carbon]

ouch-

you're not that old lol

you're not old period

[cosmic oasis]

I'm almost 30 :(

[devout hill]

almost? You're 27?

[cosmic oasis]

28 this year

Getting too close

[plush carbon]

aw cmon
you're still young

[devout hill]

nah defo old

[plush carbon]

ouch-

[devout hill]

I'm 27, I can vouche for him

old af

[cosmic oasis]

Real

[gusty bough]

Y’all making me feel real old I still remember playing the Skate 1 Demo on my cousins 360. 💀💀💀

[cosmic oasis]

OG Tony hawk's pro skater days bring me back

[plush carbon]

what's your favorite?

[cosmic oasis]

Favorite what

Tony Hawk game?

[plush carbon]

Yes

[cosmic oasis]

Probably American wasteland

[plush carbon]

Aaaahhh haha

Absolutely agree

[bold drum]

Love that game

[plush carbon]

THAW and THPS3 are my favorites

[frozen nova]

I will say, all Tony Hawk's from Neversoft was very decent games, but they lose with EA Skate in 2007 and Skate 2 in 2009

[plush carbon]

THPG was the straw that broke the camel's back

[frozen nova]

I'd rather say that THPG wasn't able to compete with EA Skate, because they gave us almost same thing for 8 years in row

[gleaming peak]

Mane my boiler is broken, is too cold in the UK

[gusty bough]

THAW and THUG ftw! 🙌

[plush carbon]

That's exactly what happened
People need change

Plus- a brand new system of tricks with only joysticks? Crazy graphics? An huge open world? That's a THKiller right here

[frozen nova]

Actually my friends called it Tony Hawk Killer at that time xD

Most impressive was that joystick system and more realistic gameplay than Tony Hawks

[scenic gull]

Same here! Mid 90s babies unit

unite

[latent shuttle]

Saddest thing will be when EA shuts down the Skate 3 servers

[frozen nova]

This will probably happen when this new skate finally comes out

[wraith snow]

OMG GUYS, I GOT IN.

in to drive a car for my drivers license

(i baited u for another bad joke)

[honest mortar]

you get your DL I know to stay inside

[wraith snow]

WOW.

[cosmic oasis]

[honest mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/blind-driving-jokes-funny-gif-18303608

[sudden warren]

I'd argue you cannot compare the two. They aren't even close to similar in gameplay style

[honest mortar]

THUG Pro servers are still up for that tony hawks mod

[plush carbon]

I had issuse with it recently

[scenic gull]

Thug pro was so cool

But now i just boot up thps remake

[sudden warren]

Thpspro is awesome too

But thugpro is still the way to go. Always people online

[twin thorn]

I forgot I even had thug pro installed

It's been there for almost a year completely untouched

[dull star]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-6997856904020830598

It's a cat dancing, SHOW ME THE CAT

[twin thorn]

me too but not for a car

[wraith snow]

U got in… to school. KNEW IT

[reef saffron]

i got invited to play test and they says only xb1 xbsx ps4 ps5 controlers are supported but what if i have xbox360 controler ? can i still play it ?

[twin thorn]

Yes it's my first day of daycare

[wraith snow]

Woooo

[wraith snow]

U can’t discuss play testing in this server, but to just give u an answer anyways, if the thing says- u need the controllers listed, u prob can’t use controllers.. that arent those

[reef saffron]

damn

[twin thorn]

You can

[wraith snow]

Oh well the more u know

[twin thorn]

You might need to layout the buttons if it's a weird controller though

[wraith snow]

But remember to not discuss play test or info about the email, they state very clearly its a big nono

So todays conclusion kids

[dull star]

Dad?

[reef saffron]

its a original xbox 360 controler, i dont have and other

[wraith snow]

Lawnmower?

[dull star]

Oh sorry, Mum.

[twin thorn]

Does it pair to your pc at least

[reef saffron]

ye ?

[twin thorn]

It just needs to connect for it to work

So you should be fine

[wraith snow]

Is that you suzuki car from 1985? :O

[dull star]

With tha big wheels

[twin thorn]

Why is kool aid man caked up

[dull star]

They never really showed him after the commercials, he works out.

[tranquil osprey]

hope everyone has a fine day!

[sudden warren]

Same to you!

Please read your email.

You're breaking the very specific guidelines and NDA by mentioning you got an email

[wraith snow]

“The email says” read ur email further… cause the email says to not talk about anything in the email

[sudden warren]

NDA

You approved the nda when you signed up initially

If I'm not mistaken

[wraith snow]

U agree to the NDA when u signed up as an EA play tester, its not exclusive to skate.

[velvet topaz]

Ahhh gotcha

[wraith snow]

Yeye

[solemn horizon]

Are you guys allowed to talk about the nda?

[sudden warren]

Idk if that's a sarcastic question

[solemn horizon]

Kinda 🙂

[sudden warren]

I hope lol

[wraith snow]

I mean

I CAN SAY ONE THING FOR SURE. The nda…

Is a nda 🫡

[solemn horizon]

What is it for though?

[vale oak]

Insider Gaming posted a lil some some on twitter 👀

or x

[dull star]

Protect information from being misused

You can talk about the playtest on the playtest forums if you were invited all you want.

[scenic gull]

O M G

LESSSGOOOOOO

[solemn horizon]

Skateboards confirmed?

[brave bough]

6 weeks is a long time, that's a lot of data

[wraith snow]

Sure but.. #game-announcements already said this, so its not breaking news…

[wraith snow]

Nah rollerblading

[wraith snow]

Its sick

[dull star]

Rollerblading might actually be kool o.o

[plush carbon]

what

nvm

i'm scared i'll get sent a mail but it'll fall in my spams and i won't see-

[wraith snow]

Yk what? I might have the smartest solution for u

Check ur spam

[plush carbon]

[wraith snow]

Haha

[plush carbon]

I'm very, VERY dumb
But I'll check my spams

[wraith snow]

Sounds like a good idea

[plush carbon]

Stupid question, but is the playtest reserved to America?

[solemn horizon]

Happened to me with bannerlord. When I bought the game on release i had a tester badge in the multiplayer and realized i missed it

[plush carbon]

Oh, ouch-

[vale anchor]

At least you had the badge for it as sort of a consolation prize

[plush carbon]

Thinking of it, I did get a mail for the beta of a game, so, that's good

[dull pilot]

no.

[plush carbon]

Thanks

[vale anchor]

Me: Looking through all of the public agreements to see if I can find the list of participating countries available to be helpful here

CM: "No"

Me: oh, well I guess I now have more knowledge of the agreements I don't need to use 😂

[dull pilot]

hahah

[scenic gull]

😂

What da !!! Jinx

[dull pilot]

haahahaha I owe you a Coke.

[scenic gull]

😉

This year is looking for bright

[plush carbon]

Hope it will

[dull pilot]

junk mail too.

[plush carbon]

I'll check every single category on every single one of my email addresses

[dull pilot]

🙂

[plush carbon]

I'm drugged with skate.

[radiant latch]

2024 is going to be a good year I hope 👀

[bitter pollen]

Its looking like it

Its still only January but the gaming world has been on fire already so far with just nothing but absolute bangers

[plush carbon]

Like what?

[bitter pollen]

Palworld, Enshrouded, Tekken 8,

[plush carbon]

I'm sorry I've only heard of Palworld

[bitter pollen]

Like A Dragon

[radiant latch]

Tekken 8 helldivers 2 and Dragons Dogma are all on my radar

[bitter pollen]

Tekken 8 came out i think 2 days ago

[radiant latch]

Yep I love it. Been playing with a homie

[plush carbon]

I mean I've heard of Tekken before
But I didn't know they released an 8th one

[bitter pollen]

I work as a video game Journalist, its my job to know hahaha

[plush carbon]

oohh

You all have cool jobs :((

[radiant latch]

I’m a graphic designer

[plush carbon]

Meanwhile I'm still studying-

[bitter pollen]

Eh, im paid $5 an an hour

Hahahaha

[radiant latch]

(Shameless plug 🔌)

[plush carbon]

It's what I'm TRING TO DO

I'm studying for that

[radiant latch]

Keep pushing! It will be worth it

[bitter pollen]

Dude graphic design is a hell of an art form

[plush carbon]

Thanks for the motivation, but honestly I hate what I do haha

[radiant latch]

I work in the medical device industry. It can be challenging balancing things ngl

[bitter pollen]

One day you might get hired to make billboards and board designs for skate.

[radiant latch]

I would love to do that actually

[bitter pollen]

I'm actually really excited to see how the buildings and pavement will look

(Lowkey praying that when we slide against the pavement we can have a small bit of splatter from our skate)

Hall of meat best mode

[plush carbon]

My dream is to design things for video games

[bitter pollen]

As someone whos made a few indie games, its easier to go graphic design to coding than coding to graphic design

[plush carbon]

It's a wild, unachievable one... but heh

[bitter pollen]

Thats untrue

[plush carbon]

In all honesty, people always say that to me. And I want to believe it!
But I have to be realistic, I will never design in the video game industry

[vale anchor]

100%

[bitter pollen]

Look

Heres the difference

Anyone can learn to code and know their way around the 1s and 0s, but Graphic design, and the things people see and the ideas people create, all of that takes art and talent

Did you learn nothing from little big planet 🤣

[vale anchor]

I did graphics before going to school for IT, helped out a lot. Ended up double majoring in Graphics and IT, and I helped out the IT side with making things look good, then ended up helping fix everything on the tech side for the graphics class XD

Basically, learn as many skills as you can, you'd be surprised how much transfer over they can have with eachother

[bitter pollen]

(Me thinking about all the ways i blew up my friend in Lbp)

[plush carbon]

As a child I played every LBP game religiously lol

[vale anchor]

dude.... LBP was THE GAME for so long! Learned a lot about level design just from trying stuff and seeing if it worked

[bitter pollen]

We All Did!

[plush carbon]

I'm sad the servers are gone for PS3 though..

[bitter pollen]

It was a game inspired for creativity, the game literally takes place in a imaginary world

[plush carbon]

I loved this game

I miss it

[bitter pollen]

They created a spin off

Sackboys big adventure

[plush carbon]

Sackboy's Adv

yeah

[bitter pollen]

Not the same

[plush carbon]

I don't know if it's really good though

[bitter pollen]

It has the charm, but not our lbp by any means

[plush carbon]

Yeah ;-;

[bitter pollen]

It reminds me more of 3 without the other 3 sack creatures

[vale anchor]

LBP2 opened up a lot more to do in the world. Would love to see another game like it released

[plush carbon]

LBP3 was the one that made me move away from the series
It was just... I mean, I thought it was really bad

Glitched all the time, save data erased, so much things all over the place...

[bitter pollen]

My dog glitches to the point i couldnt use it

[vale anchor]

Wasn't it made by a different studio?

[plush carbon]

Yeah, Sumo Digital

Instead of MediaMolecule

[vale anchor]

I think they tried to go too big with the ideas than the game could handle. Glitches aside, it was a bit overwhelming with everything it tried to do imo

[plush carbon]

Yeah absolutely, with the three other characters, the weird way the worlds were done, the weird guns you could use in-game, that weird Popit tutorial...

[bitter pollen]

Now take away the three characters and thats sackboy adv for you

[plush carbon]

Well... it's better without them imo

[bitter pollen]

Oh and theres no level creation at all

[plush carbon]

... can you at least customise Sackboy?

[bitter pollen]

Minimally

[plush carbon]

They butchered a great game

[bitter pollen]

Yup

You have to buy costumes

[plush carbon]

buy??

[bitter pollen]

(Im going to sit here and beg that skate. has 0 micro transactions, im perfectly okay with dlc, i will literally hand over money willingly for more skate parks, just please no more unlocks by spending money)

[plush carbon]

same...

[bitter pollen]

(I dont consider the "time is money pack" as a micro transaction

[plush carbon]

I bought almost every skate. dlc

[bitter pollen]

I did aswell

[plush carbon]

I still need the cameraman one though

[bitter pollen]

Danny ways Hawaiian dream best dlc

[plush carbon]

Hell yeah

[bitter pollen]

Is it bad i want More Glitches?

[plush carbon]

More glitches?

[daring vigil]

If the game truly is exclusively multiplayer you can count on there being a lot of microtransactions

[plush carbon]

Aw :((

[bitter pollen]

Superdude launch glitch, the clocktower speed glitch, the caveman speed glitch

[plush carbon]

Also, thanks spegett, you made me power on my PlayStation-

[wet herald]

Probably it has the same system as Riders Republic

[bitter pollen]

Im playing skate 3 on my xbox rn dont feel bad

[plush carbon]

ooh haha

[vale anchor]

It will have them, but the team has said that they understand how much style means to skaters and there will be good options to pick from if we don't want to spend anything

[daring vigil]

I hope that’s true

[plush carbon]

I hope the Sidekick will do a comeback

[bitter pollen]

I still wouldnt mind dlc tho

[plush carbon]

That would be SICK

[daring vigil]

I’d happily pay $60 to have as much unlockable content as skate 3. Would strongly prefer that over a free game that has paid cosmetic options

[bitter pollen]

Also i would join you on ps3 but mines modded and so i kinda cant

My ps3 not skate 3 dont ban plz

[plush carbon]

Same thing, don't worry

If anyone sees this I own Skate 3 on disc and also Skate 2 and skate. and Skate It don't ban me-

[bitter pollen]

Dude do you remember killzone?

[plush carbon]

The video game?

[bitter pollen]

Yep

[plush carbon]

Never played it, sorry

[bitter pollen]

I still have the demo installed

[plush carbon]

Wow

[vale anchor]

Seeing as this is the official server, I'd be cautious talking about moded consoles and such. Not like you'd get in trouble, but there is all the legal TOS and such, don't want yall to get dinged discussing it

[sudden warren]

Ugh that's a core childhood game for me

[dull pilot]

BANNED FOR ALTERING YOUR DEVICE YOU OWN!

jk

[sudden warren]

They will have mtx

[bitter pollen]

dies

[plush carbon]

phew

[sudden warren]

Sorry already covered!

[bitter pollen]

If skate. Is coming to pc..... that modding scene is going to be absolutely immaculate

WE CAN BRING BACK MEAT MAN!

[plush carbon]

It's going to be hell
You'll see a giant amogus riding down San Vansterdam

[vale anchor]

Sounds sus bro

[sudden warren]

It is coming!

[dull pilot]

Out of curiosity - and not sass - how many F2P games with an internal economy promote official modding?

[sudden warren]

PC is the only thing they play test on (unless this new one is including consoles but idt it is) as of now, but console tests are coming this year!

[dull pilot]

I'm not saying one way or the other because that's a convo for a Board Room or whatever - this was more about games in general.

[bitter pollen]

Well in my opinion it depends on the company and team

[plush carbon]

By internal economy, you mean microtransactions?

[bitter pollen]

Do they see it as a smack in the face, or as praise for making a game

Or are they like valve where they cant pick one

TF2 you mod it you get banned
Source 2, Please Mod It

[dull pilot]

Yeah, like.. let's take a small unknown game like Fortnite.

Free game, has MTX (that is not required to enjoy the game as is).
But the reason the game has lasted - and grown - is because of the MTX that is available to support the continued development, server costs, licensing deals, etc.

(no shade to Epic or Fortnite, of course, just it's the biggest F2P game I could think of)

[plush carbon]

In that way I think it's useful for a small company

If not necessary.

[vale anchor]

Also with F2P games modding is super hard to support it because future updates would break them and cause a mess, it unbalances a lot of things, and opens bigger doors for hackers.
not saying it can't be done, but it is a lot to figure out

[bitter pollen]

Wait skates gonna be f2p?

[plush carbon]

Yes

As far as I've heard

[sudden warren]

Now you have warzone doing something very similar. F2P and skins galore

[dull pilot]

Yep, F2P
PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series - and we're looking at mobile.
Cross play, cross progression.

No pay to win, no gameplay areas locked behind walls, no paid lootboxes.

[bitter pollen]

I was literally ready to throw $60 like day one

[violet tapir]

W f2p

[vale anchor]

You've got some board room videos to catch up on

[plush carbon]

I'm really, really curious on that mobile port
I remember when people said something like a Skate 3 port was coming to mobiles

[dull pilot]

You still can - but it won't be to access the game. It'll be for fun stuff you want - game will be free.

[bitter pollen]

Modding would be pc only, so you would loose functionality of multiplayer, so it doesnt come without cost

[dull pilot]

Good answer.

Once you mod, you can't connect online because anticheat programs check file integrity, etc.

[bitter pollen]

Unless you did "private matches"

Even then everyone still has to have the same checksums

[dull pilot]

Exactly.

[bitter pollen]

Meaning they loose functionality too

So it becomes at the end of the day basically the seamless coop mod for elden ring

[plush carbon]

What's the point of modding skate. though? I mean, besides for the lulz of playing as like, Shrek

[bitter pollen]

P2P servers with mods, not able to play with the other consoles, not able to transfer saves, and stuck playing with other modders who may help or hurt the experience

[twin thorn]

Really glad because none of my friends play skate 3 anymore because of money or they don't have an Xbox

[bitter pollen]

Different things like graphical, audio, blood splatter when you get hurt, cheat clients, playing on a bike instead of skate board, theres never really been a reason why mods exist, they just do to add or remove something

They tailor to the experience of the individual

[plush carbon]

Playing with other stuff than skateboard seems insane lol
Imagine all the work it would take

[bitter pollen]

Thats why modders exist

[plush carbon]

I guess you're right

Jeez I sound so dumb lmao

[twin thorn]

I swear modders aren't real people the mods just magically exist

[bitter pollen]

No just a difference in thought process

[bitter pollen]

I require to hippy jump a car, using another car

[plush carbon]

A mod for a pennyboard

[velvet topaz]

I'm part of a THPS1+2 modding server, and man do people love porting characters in and they also use it to practise with game creation stuff.

[plush carbon]

A mod to replace every single texture with

[radiant latch]

@dull pilot can you speak on if offline play is available? As someone with bandwidth restrictions. I couldn’t find an answer to this question

[gentle summit]

does anyone have info about if any previous playtests have worked on linux?

[twin thorn]

@dull pilot not sure if this is an allowed question but will items from the playtest transfer into the real game when is released?

[solemn horizon]

Maybe yes maybe no

[dull pilot]

Min Requirements are Win 10 64-bit.
If Linux is supported officially at some point, we'll share at that time.

[dull pilot]

no.

[round surge]

How does one refer a friend for the playtest

[twin thorn]

[solemn horizon]

A little tester hat maybe?

[dull pilot]

You can tell them to go to https://skate.game/insider to sign up and they may get selected.

[zenith sand]

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

[twin thorn]

That'd be cool or like a T-shirt with "tester" or something

[dull pilot]

And that email said to publicly discuss it right? -.-

[round surge]

my fault

[zenith sand]

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

[round surge]

Might want to do something about this article then

[twin thorn]

It's in the article

It's in the subtitle "Is this just closed beta/alpha testing?"

[dull pilot]

Something we've definitely discussed - but nothing I can share.

[twin thorn]

Niceeee

[solemn horizon]

A fire cape that gives 10+ speed

[dull pilot]

hahah

[bitter pollen]

The 1-800-Eat-Sh!t board!

From Skate 3

[round surge]

Nah I meant the inside gaming article they did. The whole email is in their article

[dull pilot]

I like the 1800 Coach Frank skate. School deck.

[bitter pollen]

That's how i learned what, "hotlines" were as a kid

[dull pilot]

we're aware.

[radiant latch]

lol at the ppl referencing a leaked article

[dull pilot]

yeah, #rules are hard sometimes. lol

[solemn horizon]

I hope the clothing is somewhat only realistic. I dont mind a couple of goofy items but everyone having trails and smoke effect I cant take

[radiant latch]

Skateboarding by nature is breaking the rules… for a good cause of course 😎

[bitter pollen]

As a journalist, our credibility is always on the line because we represent not just ourselves but a community, people that break those rules, give guys like us a really bad rep

[twin thorn]

We need Isaac Clarke in skate.

[bitter pollen]

Agreed

And Mr. Bones

[twin thorn]

Dem Bones and Meat Man

[plush carbon]

Console-exclusive characters would be insane
Imagine playing as PaRappa in the PlayStation version

[bitter pollen]

Ratchet and clank would be my go to for PS

SACKBOY!!!!

[radiant latch]

I wish we could get the TMNT

[plush carbon]

OH BOY 😭

[bitter pollen]

Sackboy for PS!

Master chief for Xbox

[plush carbon]

That would be funny
He should be like the MiniSkaters cheat from Skate 3!

[bitter pollen]

Mario for Switch

Oh wait its not coming to switch

[dull pilot]

The character from Sunset Overdrive. That would be one I want.

[plush carbon]

Lets-a-go, kick-a-flip that-a goomba

[bitter pollen]

Miracle whip over the goomba

[plush carbon]

Never heard of this game before, but looking at it, the main character looks like he came from Skate or Die!

[dull pilot]

RIGHT?!?

I loved that game.

And Skate or Die! as well, of course.

[plush carbon]

He looks
Immaculate

That’s a must-play

[bitter pollen]

Who is a good pick for PC?

Pc doesnt really have a Mascot

[plush carbon]

Hmmm

[dull pilot]

That is a good question.

[bitter pollen]

Gordon Freeman?

[plush carbon]

A motherboard

[radiant latch]

Gordon Freeman

[plush carbon]

Great minds think alike I see

[bitter pollen]

I mean our dude doesnt talk sooooo

[radiant latch]

Doom Guy

[bitter pollen]

That would be xbox

Lara Croft

[plush carbon]

PlayStation

[bitter pollen]

Only shadow of the tomb raider gives that merit but ever other Tomb raider including the original was pc dating all way back to 95

Windows 95.

[plush carbon]

I see
I’ve always seen it as a PS game
A bit like Tony Hawk’s, although it was also released for the Dreamcast and the N64

[bitter pollen]

For sh!ts and giggles we make clippy the pc exclusive

[plush carbon]

Bonzi Buddy haha

[bitter pollen]

Yall remember clippy right?

[plush carbon]

Of course

[bitter pollen]

Clippy as a board would be better

[plush carbon]

Oooh true

[dull pilot]

Honestly, I'd say TF2 guys, Commander Keen, Duke Nukem, Geralt, or, since it's in the EA universe, Commander Shepard (Shep and FemShep options)

[bitter pollen]

Commander Shepard would be perfect

Or scout

[radiant latch]

From EA you could do Commander Shepard, Cal Kestis etc

[bitter pollen]

Scout seems like he would have spent a lot of time grinding

Cal Kestis would still be xbox

It came to xbox a week before pc

[plush carbon]

I know
A sim lol

[radiant latch]

Not necessarily?

[bitter pollen]

Yes!

The alien sim from sims 2

[plush carbon]

Or just a little Plumbob hat to put on your character

[bitter pollen]

I like that better

[vale anchor]

This is my favorite store in the citidal

[bitter pollen]

Johnny Gat should be added lmao

(The exact reason modders exist is right here)

(This is the argument)

(Plus if you overlay the textures instead of adding new ones, other consoles still see the default texture, while people that have the mod see the modded textures, and its undetectable by anticheat)

(Plus if modders know to only overlay the purchased elements, then ea gets their kickback and players get peter griffin as a playable character)

Im open to someone telling me im wrong

[unkempt latch]

definitely remember clippy

[vale anchor]

Still have to be careful with that. I know some Star Wars Battle Front 2 players that had some client side cosmetic mods to change how the team skins looked to them and were fine for a while, but after an update were falsely flagged and detected as a hitbox mod and got hit with some temp bans

[bitter pollen]

It is a disclaimer to those who use mods

That disclaimer always has stated mod at your own risk

[stray imp]

like penjamin city

[vale anchor]

Yeah of course! Just wanted to put that out there since the majority don't tend to be aware of those kinds of risks and get confused when stuff happens

[bitter pollen]

Well there should always be 2 disclaimers

1. You might get banned

2. Your game might start to crash

2nd one we all learned from skyrim

Am i wrong haha

I still have ptsd for trying to get touring carriages to work

[radiant latch]

Just so everyone is aware there’s a nasty rumor going around about the release window of SKATE. Please take it with a grain of salt bc we truly don’t know the answer to that

[bitter pollen]

Well considering gta 6 is 2026, and Elder scrolls six is 20 years from now, im cool with anything

I still have skate 3 lmao

[vale anchor]

That's the thing about rumors, they don't really do anyone any good. When we hear from official sources, then we can celebrate and party!

[sudden warren]

Yea even my friend who doesn't play skate at all was like "did you see that rumor" and I'm like... it's just a rumor my friend, nothing to it. This happens every couple of months lol

[vale anchor]

Same cereal, different bowl

[haughty eagle]

How would you guys make any money? I was someone also more than willing to pay $60-$70 for the game w/out micro transactions

[solemn horizon]

Buyable cosmetics i assume by his message

[cosmic oasis]

there will probably be a cosmetic shop

and if there ends up being one I will be dumping money to deck myself out

I make questionable financial decisions on video games

[solemn horizon]

Which fortnite dances will i be able to do?

[mellow heath]

Has anyone won the fingerboards before? If so are they good quality? Entered the giveaway and I’m super excited

[mellow heath]

LMAO WHAT?? 😭

[cosmic oasis]

bro I better be able to hit the griddy

after a sick set

edit the footage like a oldschool CoD montage

[solemn horizon]

Oooh baby a triple

[plush carbon]

mom get the camera

[cosmic oasis]

I'm certain the devs will do this right even as a F2P game

100% keeping my current hype

[plush carbon]

[blissful tiger]

Have console play tests happened, if not will they happen?

[plush carbon]

No, but they will one day

[carmine arch]

they most likely will and I think it's soon

[blissful tiger]

Ok thank you for the answers 👍

[dull pilot]

not yet.
this year is when console testing starts.

[blissful tiger]

Ok, thank you for the answer.👍

[cosmic oasis]

Jeff is the real MVP

[blissful tiger]

Fr

[sudden warren]

Super high. Actual pressed wood, not plastic

[plush carbon]

TIL that Miracle Whip is an actual real life product

[sudden warren]

Lol yup! I guess their marketing didn't do good enough

[plush carbon]

I think it's mostly because it doesn't exist where I live
But that works too lol

[sudden warren]

Fair

[solemn horizon]

Its mayo? I always assumed it was just whipped cream

[plush carbon]

Apparently yeah it is

That's why they made a sticker

[violet tapir]

No it’s mayo but it’s like sweet mayo

[scenic gull]

Hahah

[plush carbon]

Don't be so Mayo.

[vale anchor]

Soooo nice

Even have bushings!

I should take out my macro lens and do some "product" shots

[scenic gull]

I AM SO HYPED

February is about to be my month

[plush carbon]

hope you'll have fun doing [REDACTED]

in [REDACTED]

[scenic gull]

Luck out to everyone 🤘

[plush carbon]

X)

[scenic gull]

Btw guys, what is your favorite skate spot in skate 3

Mine is Ghetto Spot subsection within Industrial Map zone

[plush carbon]

hmm

I love Park 'n Play
The huge slope that connects the Hartley Stadium to the Carvatron

aaand the Super Ultra Mega Park ofc

[solemn horizon]

Probably spent most of my time at the shark

[plush carbon]

Ah yeah, great spot too

[carmine arch]

man im tryna take skate 3 physics (even realistic skaters) seriously then i just see someone doing a "BS Salad" (it was a 90 degree angle that bro was tilted)

I think i got the footage of it

[scenic gull]

So a back tail?

[carmine arch]

nah let me get the footage

[scenic gull]

Btw part of the problem with skate 3 physics , is a lack of trucks pinching during these grinds

[carmine arch]

btw sry to ask where can i upload the clip

oh wait i just saw the exact channel for it nvm

[scenic gull]

#skate-legacy-videos !

[carmine arch]

i love being able to save all my xbox clips and videos on an external hard-drive

[carmine arch]

alr posted it

[dull pilot]

Share ‘em here! https://discord.com/channels/771078623430967317/1151938778684989440

[scenic gull]

I see ghetto spot!!! So glad im not alone

[plush carbon]

good night everyone

[west cobalt]

Sorry bout that, thanks for the warning 🫡

[mellow heath]

Send me some vids and pics for sure lol

[dull pilot]

Sweeps ends in 9 hours 4 minutes.

BUT WE HAVE A SCREENSHOT CONTEST STARTING TOMORROW -
20 winners will get a Year 3 deck. Stay tuned!

[marble flame]

Oh Snap!

[vale anchor]

Mmmm dat year three deck

[scenic gull]

YESSSS i love photos more than videos

[dull pilot]

Me too. No chance of 3rd party music stuff to disqualify. 🙂

[scenic gull]

📸

[vale anchor]

Looking forward to seeing people's entries

[mellow heath]

Real skate deck or fingerboard?

[sudden warren]

Real deck

[magic spruce]

have the emails for the playtest been sent out or are they still sending them out?

[carmine arch]

getting a real deck would be cool because I want to get into skateboarding and was already planning on buying a skateboard

[vale anchor]

Well, it's not a Real deck, but it is a real deck for skating

[cursive mica]

Yo how do I get the to playtester forum?

[vale anchor]

Not from here.

[stuck light]

💀

[dull pilot]

You fully read any emails from the playtesting team - and don't skip over the parts where it says "don't discuss this publicly" to avoid getting removed from this and future playtests.

[dull pilot]

They're being sent out.

[carmine arch]

i love hitting the hardest skate 3 screenshot ever then just never posting it anywhere

[sudden warren]

That would be sick to start with that one! I'm a huge advocate for not skating these decks as to me, they are great display pieces but I'll allow it in your case haha

[carmine arch]

yeah it would be, but i kinda agree with the "not skating" part even though i'd love to use it in action, fearing that i'll break it (the average lifespan of an average skateboard scare me), and i fell like it'd just be better getting a regular 7-ply from somewhere for supa cheap/semi-cheap

(i think 7-ply's are lighter than 9-ply's but i may be wrong idk)

[sudden warren]

I've never broken a deck. If you're a newer skater I wouldn't worry about that

[carmine arch]

i've used a "skateboard" before and liked it, but the problem is that it was a surf skateboard

[sudden warren]

oh yea noooooo

[carmine arch]

basically a more dangerous way of getting from point a to point b for me since my entire town built like a deathrace hill

(also too many pebbles and potholes :\ )

[sudden warren]

LOL

[carmine arch]

speaking of pebbles

didn't between skate 1 and skate 2 or whatever what that brazilian's dude name

fadio?

or something along those lines

Fabio

im just wondering that man died in skate 2 or between skate 1 and skate 2

[sudden warren]

fabio

[carmine arch]

then bro got resurrected in skate 3 as a free play character which doesnt make much sense but it's skate 3 not much makes sense abt it

yeah just now thought of that weird thing bc of his memorial race in skate 2

pebble moment

[dull pilot]

These are 7ply Canadian maple decks. They're good decks. But I'd never skate one personally - I ride longboards and I like my "short" decks as wall art. (I regularly go to skate shops and buy old, used, or "unsellable" decks to make furniture in my house with. My shelving in my home office and game room is sick.)

[scenic gull]

Skate 3 is heaven.

[carmine arch]

it is but it a bit goofy sometimes

i think that's why i like skate 1-2 more

feels more "realistic"

[vale anchor]

Don't knock the surfskate really fun flowy stuff and a great workout! Best part, you never have to push if you don't want too lol. Also an absolute blast in bowls/pools!

[carmine arch]

im not knocking it bc it's really fun, but considering where i live you can see my standpoint with my surf skateboard

my town is a giant hill leading into a river, and there's pebbles and potholes everywhere

[vale anchor]

Get bigger wheels

[carmine arch]

used a scooter before with like 7 inch wheels still hit a pothole bc there are so many

fun head tramua

[vale anchor]

It seems you are taking me a bit too seriously here lol

[carmine arch]

sorry it's just that it's 11:47 pm and I'm very tired

[vale anchor]

Then go to sleep?

That's super important

[carmine arch]

my dogs are keeping me up

they keep barking at random things that pass by and i can't calm them down 😮‍💨

[vale anchor]

Oof

[carmine arch]

anyways i'm gonna maybe hopefully go try and fall asleep before another car passes by, gn/gm/good day

[wraith snow]

Ive actually thought about building a skate deck chair for when i move out later this year

[wraith snow]

Officially sent my application of to the film and tv production school i wanna attend, wish me luck!

[burnt mountain]

does that mean they are still being actively sent out or are they all completely sent out

[sage valve]

Hi, I just won the recent sweepstake, I've been advised to open a ticket in a channel I don't have access to, anybody know why?

[fallow grotto]

same here, i just opened a mod ticket

[sage valve]

Cool, I just did the same. Quite excited, I've never won anything, always entering wanted the original decks or the controller but I'm still happy with winning anything🤣

[muted spoke]

Someone help how do you open a mod ticket 😭

[fallow grotto]

they are still pretty cool collectibles! im happy

[fallow grotto]

#support-desk

[muted spoke]

Thank you

[wraith snow]

Pretty sure u just gotta wait untill ur contacted

[fallow grotto]

ofc!

[sage valve]

I was, it said open a ticket in a channel that I can't access.

[wraith snow]

Ohhh- thats prob bc u gotta “follow” the channel through the new “channels and roles” section right under the server banner

[sage valve]

I just followed every channel and I still don't have access

[fallow meteor]

same here

[oblique crater]

same

[runic elm]

same!

[muted spoke]

Unfortunately

[wraith snow]

Hmm.. odd

[plush carbon]

sigh

[snow wharf]

Same lol but I bet they’ll fix it soon enough

[muted spoke]

I’m scared what if I win but then like bc of this I don’t get it 😭 (I’ve never won anything hoping I do 🤞🏽)

[plush carbon]

Why did I even think I'd win? It's useless

[fallow grotto]

y'all are trippin so hard 😭

[muted spoke]

I just overthink that’s all

[wraith snow]

Dw! Ur name is in the winners thing! So it will be fine

[snow wharf]

Yeah I wouldn’t worry too much

[wraith snow]

Well, i december there was more sweepstakes, so im thinking more will come!

[plush carbon]

We're 50k, one day I'll be under my lucky star X)

[snow wharf]

Best we can do is wait lol

[muted spoke]

Thank you thank you hopefully

[snow wharf]

I’m going to nap and see tomorrow

[muted spoke]

Welp guys it’s time to sleep I fasted for 1 day 2 more to go 😼

[snow wharf]

Oof

[wraith snow]

Good idea! And good luck with ur fast!

[snow wharf]

Fasting is miserable

[wraith snow]

Never tried it- but i assume its hard

[muted spoke]

It truly is but I can handle it I think hopefully lol

[snow wharf]

Night everyone, try not to stress if you won lol. I feel like it’s just a bug and will probably be fixed soon.

You get used to it, it just sucks

[fallow grotto]

damn there are 50K ppl in here? i really did luck out i suppose

[muted spoke]

True but buenas noches sleep well I’ll prolly talk in here tomorrow lol this was my first time

[muted spoke]

Also yes it is but you just have to drink a lot of water

[wraith snow]

Yea, thats what id assume!

[muted spoke]

No but tell me why when I open instagram today it was just food 😭 I swear it knew I was fasting

[timber oak]

it's been a minute, how's everyone doing

[wraith snow]

Istg, a muslim friend of mine, throughout all of ramadan, kept getting “HERES MY INSANE 10K CALORIE BURGER CHALLENGE” etc. It must be terribly hard

[wraith snow]

Good! Sent my film production school application off today, so- now i just have to wait for an answer

[fallow grotto]

yeah your wild, good luck!

[muted spoke]

💀 that’s crazy but yeah just gotta keep focus of what your trying to accomplish

[timber oak]

oh wow that's very cool, hope it goes well

[muted spoke]

Thank you

[timber oak]

I never got past the point of hobbyist in editing 😔 (me problem)

film has always been interesting though to me

[wraith snow]

Thank u! Thank u! Also taking my drivers license atm, (much harder in my country than any other as far as i can tell from convos we have had here) and holy- im in for a ride

[wraith snow]

Thats how i am atm! Just a hobby, but id love to do it more pro, also working with cameras etc.

[wraith snow]

Same! Its for real like- cool and interesting how everythings done

[timber oak]

oh dang uhh fully stop at stop signs don't rolling stop 😂

[muted spoke]

Yk film sounds really good but photography is where I’m at rn I love taking pictures and just everything that comes with it

[timber oak]

that's awesome

[timber oak]

also a super super cool field

[wraith snow]

Ill remember that! Haha, im having a 2 hour and 30 min class on road signs, what makes a car legal etc. On tuesday, had one 2 days ago aswell, and then im off to sit in the car in 2 weeks haha

[fallow grotto]

so y'all are some creative people then 👀

[timber oak]

oh you guys have mandated classes? yeah we're just given a book (optional) and then they're like "have at it"

[wraith snow]

Fully understandable! I did photography classes not so long ago, and thats why i realised i wanted to do film so much more, cause- capturing an amazing photo? Thats awesome, but fully capturing a moving scene? Awesome!

[timber oak]

there's a knowledge test, a driving test a year later, and another a year after that

[muted spoke]

Everyone is creative you just don’t know it yet and creativity can come in many many ways

[timber oak]

I'm kinda jealous 😭

[wraith snow]

Yea we do, we also have to drive on a slippery track to make sure we learn how to control the car in the rain, and we need an 8 hour first aid class, and a doctor to confirm we’re healthy enough to drive etc.

[fallow grotto]

i guess i'm still searching for what i'm creative in then

[wraith snow]

https://tenor.com/view/for-shizzle-really-for-sure-yes-gif-16790431

[timber oak]

my slip training is doing donuts in the snow (although it's not as good with an AWD)

also wow, first aid?

[muted spoke]

You’ll find it some point soon trust me

[muted spoke]

I LOVE DAVE CHAPPELE OR HOWEVER YOU SAY HIS LAST NAME

[wraith snow]

Yea, we need it because, if u ever get in an accident, or see someone get into an accident- maybe come across someone who’s heart stops beating and u see it from ur car, ur most likely the first person who can get there etc.

[wraith snow]

Aint got a clue who it is, but now i find him cool

[timber oak]

we don't have that 😭

although I do have first aid training

[muted spoke]

💀 he’s really funny he’s a stand up comedian

[wraith snow]

Ohhhh, cool!

[fallow grotto]

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[timber oak]

doctors and nurses are required to stop by accidents though and wait till paramedics arrive

[wraith snow]

Good good, even if an 8 hour class sounds horrible (even to me) i believe everyone should know some first aid just incase

[muted spoke]

Welp guys it’s actually time for bed lol it’s 12:51 am goodnight everyone

[timber oak]

goodnight

[wraith snow]

Yeaaaa i see, we even have a goverment app, where people can get a notifcation if they’re close to a heart starter and someone needs it in ur area etc, (anyone can sign up)

[wraith snow]

Night night!

[fallow grotto]

im playing session rn 😭
when skate comes out imma be juggling both and fumbling controls

[timber oak]

apparently session's harder?

haven't played it myself

[fallow grotto]

its like a simulation game

took me like 3-4 days to really get the hang of it

all i've ever played is skate games so yeah

[wraith snow]

MUCH. Harder, like- one stick for each foot, using triggers to turn- etc. Going from skate to session is like, going from driving a car with automatic gears and assisted driving, to an old car with manual gears, and a steering wheel thats hard to turn lmao

[fallow grotto]

more or less lol

[wraith snow]

But landing a line / trick is much more redeeming

[fallow grotto]

i'm currently on (in my estimate) try 150 on this line

my thumb is sore from pressing x 😭😭😭

[wraith snow]

Holy moly, i havent played session in a while haha

[timber oak]

I like skate's arcade feel 😭

[fallow grotto]

so glad i bought it

[timber oak]

I think it's included in PS plus too if anyone had that

[wraith snow]

Which is so fair! Haha

[fallow grotto]

i like both 🤷🏻

[wraith snow]

Same, but i like em for different reasons

[fallow grotto]

i was so close 🥲😭

[sage bear]

WOOHOO i won the giveaway! Quick question... how do i give my detail etc? Do i need to open a support ticket?

[wraith snow]

Pretty sure u just have to wait, else there will be 50 support tickets haha, just wait

[sage bear]

Yeah that makes sense. I got a DM from the Dyno Bot which said open a ticket but then the channel was "no access" 🫤

[wraith snow]

Yea people have said that, try opening one in #support-desk

[cursive mica]

Well yes, that's why I'm asking. I was inv by a friend, not EA. He said we don't get emails, and that's why I asked here because you had mentioned to keep all discussion within the forum... Sorry if that's confusing. That's why I'm looking for it.

[wraith snow]

Id assume if u were invited by a friend that u would have to accept that invitation somehow, so you recieving an email from either EA or that friend makes the most sense

[acoustic pasture]

You guys heard about the rumor ?

😱

[wraith snow]

Skate will have skateboards?

Yea its insane

[acoustic pasture]

Its only a rumor tho, take it with a grain of salt

[karmic void]

what do i do if i won the giveaway lol

[acoustic pasture]

Go out drink with friends !🥂

[wraith snow]

Kick ur feet up, watch a good movie, and wait

[scenic nova]

ive heard many

[acoustic pasture]

The latest says Skate. In 2026,but again, is a rumor

[solemn horizon]

Console testing 2024 some admin said. So probably not 2024 thats my guess

[wraith snow]

well, i read some article saying the next PT will be 6 weeks long, which is the longest one so far (according to the article) so thats interesting

[solemn horizon]

Does ea have early access games?

Is there a chance it will "release" in early access

[wraith snow]

skate? i mean skate will be ever evolving, so it wont be a "heres the game" and then its done, but i imagine the game will release when the developers have gotten stuff done thats important to have in the game etc.

[scenic gull]

is the playtest also in europe or only in NA

[zenith sand]

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

[vale oak]

Another day another loss 😪

[shut turret]

[rare elk]

Black streets black alright

[bitter pollen]

Morning Red

[radiant latch]

Morning ☀️

[radiant latch]

Sounds illegal 😂

[bitter pollen]

currently downloading 500Gb of skyrim mods

[carmine forum]

[sudden warren]

Report him via a ticket

[carmine forum]

yeah i made one already havent gotten a response yet

[sudden warren]

It's early in the day, if they are west coast USA mods will be available soon

[plush carbon]

Isnt that illegal

[violet tapir]

That sounds super illegal lol

[plush carbon]

"Let me give you the key for the aplha of an highly anticipated game for ONLY $20!"

[dull pilot]

Which is hilarious, to be honest - as we don't send out keys to playtest participants at this stage. We grant entitlements on the account on the back-end.

[plush carbon]

I was actually wondering how it worked, so yes, that's pretty funny

[wraith snow]

Yeaaa- thats what i thought, i knew play testers were getting thrown into a limo, and driven off to a secret underground testing facility

Damn. Me and my theories. Always right

[cosmic dome]

hi

[wraith snow]

Heyo

[cosmic dome]

how are you

[mellow heath]

When the play test starts, do they send a file to you? Or is it a cloud streaming kind of thing

[dull pilot]

You login to your EA app, download, and play.

[mellow heath]

Oh sick

Does that mean you keep it forever even after the play test?

Or does it get taken away once the play test is over?

[dull pilot]

Once the test ends, you won't be able to launch it.

[mellow heath]

Dang it

I was hoping I get to play it forever until the game launches 😂

[wraith snow]

Btw @dull pilot how u holding up? And r u excited to meet with the others at full circle soon?

[vale anchor]

Whoa, a lot of misinformation going early this morning. Glad that was all cleared up!

I’m always stoked to go to Vancouver. Last time I was there was for the “We Read Your Comments” video shoot.

[scenic nova]

Board room soon??? 👀

[dull pilot]

ish

We got the playtest for 5-6 weeks starting next week, the comms team have a weeklong summit in Vancouver - but yeah, BR5 is in planning.

[scenic nova]

Ooooo

Are u ever gonna be in one, Jeff?

[dull pilot]

Well, the Board Rooms are the direct to community videos. They feature our amazing devs and digital wizards building skate. - I'm more of a live service/streaming type guy. (we'll be having those at some point when the game is more live/less NDA'd)

[scenic gull]

Wow !! That was a lot of details !!

👀 🤤

[scenic nova]

Can't wait for everything!

Bro as soon as console playtesting is announced I'm gonna sign up for it instantly

[zenith sand]

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

[dull pilot]

Sign up now. That will ensure when we start selecting console testers, you're definitely in the pool of potentials.

[sudden warren]

How's the pupper?

[dull pilot]

he's good. it's pouring rain, so he's annoyed he can't go outside - and decided to deposit some "drops of Jupiter" in my game room and home office to display his displeasure.

[scenic nova]

Drops of Jupiter?

Sounds like a skate challenge 😂

[dull pilot]

non-edible Snickers bars

[scenic nova]

Ahhhh

[sudden warren]

Ahh bummer! It's a sign of love for you. He wants you to have that special bond with him lol

[scenic nova]

Got it

[noble sage]

Hey @dull pilot will you be doing a skate deck competition anytime this year

[dull pilot]

Jane was reading about where dogs do their business in the house directly is related to their respect/love for you.
like, if he has an accident, it's never in the room we're in or the bedroom.
And the fact he chooses my game room or home office shows he feels safe and comfortable.

he's a weirdo.

[wraith snow]

[vale anchor]

[snow wharf]

You’re spitting facts

People skateboard with their dogs

[waxen apex]

https://tenor.com/view/no-bugs-bunny-nope-gif-4095597578532971838

[vale anchor]

My dog loves to run alongside me haha

[dull pilot]

Kuma and I go longboarding every day.

[vale anchor]

Only time I can go fast enough for her zoomies

[wraith snow]

Jeff. Can u confirm or deny this… and ik that.. its gonna maybe break ur NDA and get u fired but. Will skate have skateboards (i should be a comedian holy moly)

[wraith snow]

Awhh

[snow wharf]

That’s amazing lol

[dull pilot]

*looks left, then right to make sure EA cops aren't around

*whispers

maybe.

[wraith snow]

SEE THIS ISNT COOL, yall make me want a dog that zooms away with me into the sunset and stuff 😔

[dull pilot]

He likes to pull me like a mini sled dog

must be the husky in his lineage

[wraith snow]

Thats so cool honestly

[wraith snow]

Wait Jeff, san vansterdam right? Its 3 cities together no? Like san fransisco, amaterdam, and whats the last one?

[vale anchor]

I wish my dog was large enough to pull me. I have to put in a lot of effort to make sure she's not pulling any weight at all, because she sure tries to and I don't want to injure her back. She's only a 6.5lb Yorkie 😂

[plush carbon]

Vancouver?

[wraith snow]

Ohhh, that right there, that makes sense!

[plush carbon]

Like our beloved San Van
Now comes San Vam

[sudden warren]

Vancouver

[wraith snow]

Wowowo

[dull pilot]

It's a portmanteau, yeah.
Like San Vanelona.

[wraith snow]

Nope, still san van, san vansterdam-

[dull pilot]

😉

[plush carbon]

Oops

[wraith snow]

Ahhh, yes yes- i was just unsure of what the “van” city was, but the lovely Huck and Trekeln came in clutch

[plush carbon]

I thought of San VaMsterdam 😵‍💫

It's a bit like Port Carverton
The history behind the name is sweet

[vale anchor]

"So, what do you think of Port Carverton?"
"Nothing like San Van!"

[dull pilot]

It's very touching. When Cuz told me about it, it got me in the feels.

[plush carbon]

I can imagine
The memorial is a very kind touch

[wraith snow]
