.... "brushes away cobwebs" Hello Any Survivors? "I annouce to the dusty chatroom"

[dull pilot]

insulting the server you just joined is certainly a choice, new person.

[formal tartan]

No sir i ment no such thing its just ....its a honor I found others like myself

[dull pilot]

[tiny prism]

Don't wheels harden over time?

[neon owl]

idk. its in storage. but i like hard wheels.

[hollow hazel]

Aging my wheels like wine

[tiny prism]

Fair enough lol

[neon owl]

says this photo was taken in july, 2020. and they were attached to a board that was way older. i really just wanted the deck.

[tiny prism]

Lmao

Rest of the kit is nice to have
Trucks and bearings don't really expire per se

[hollow hazel]

Woah apparently rdr2 getting current gen patch this year

[tiny prism]

Might need new bearing grease

[hollow hazel]

I misread that as bearing geese

[tiny prism]

Dang they ain't even gonna fix gtav enhanced first?

[hollow hazel]

Rererelease trilogy reremaster

[tiny prism]

Classic Rockstar
Never fix
Only sell shark card

[neon owl]

its an original of the photon light decks if you wanna find the date. lol.

it came with griptape on it, but i took it off and cleaned it.

[tiny prism]

First time I'm seein one of these but they wouldn't be too hard to make it looks like

Put some rgb led's in there

[neon owl]

just holes and LED lights. sk8mafia had one made for them too back then. the envelope logo would light up.

[tiny prism]

If that's old then electronics have gotten exponentially cheaper and easier lol

The woodworking is what would cause me issues

[neon owl]

yea. you have to embed it so the grip can go on smooth.

[tiny prism]

Yeah

If I had a shop and a spare board I'd try it kek

Def not drillin holes into the skate. decks lol

Ye

They're 🅱️urple

💜

[scenic gull]

Oh damn you remeber luna? They grinded so much but this year seems to be chillin

That was me 2022-2024. I grinded 2021(hell yeah i am an OG) and 2025

[scenic gull]

Literally. No joke. It is a literal grind to get to blue. Then. Purple is whole nother demon 😈

[tiny prism]

I wasn't grinding I was just chattin

Idek what my level is, I have both the bot and the channel fully muted and hidden lol
I'm here for the vibes

[scenic gull]

[grim otter]

hi chat

[raven imp]

hi chien

[grim otter]

uhmm with how ruthless skates youtube comments are i was expecting to go here and see hell

good to see the servers okay🙏🙏

[rocky hearth]

Hi

[tiny prism]

just wait til the next wave of invites happens or the grind vol 2 drops

[grim otter]

LOLL

where did the suggestions forums go?

[tiny prism]

idk the only channel i have actually unmuted and unhidden is this one lol

[scenic gull]

I think it did finally close out. And Braddock took list to the devs

[grim otter]

i think a while ago i remember making a suggestion for the game to just not be free to play😭😭very uhmm unrealistic

[scenic gull]

I also wanted a standlone SkateFor story mode. Then, f2p online. Just like rdr2 and rdrO! Or gta5 and then gtao

[grim otter]

yeah no way thats happening, i think the devs would but ea tied their hands

[scenic gull]

Yea they just want one product. And it makes sense. Everyone is scared of servers shutting down. Cause go look at the Crew. But I really do not believe we have to worry about that for 10 years MIN.

[grim otter]

even games that do online centered stuff great fall for the expiration date, driveclub was NEVER bad but you can only host servers for so long, skate runs off of a cult following and how is the cult gonna play a game thats doomed to shut down in x amount of years

[grim otter]

ehhh id hope its 10 years down the line, but 15 years down the line for skate 3 and i can always go turn on my xbox 360 and replay hall of meat, or play deathraces

like yeah hopefully "skate." doesnt cook itself with this but as long as there isnt single player, it has an inevitable time where the servers shut down and the game is done

i know its unrealistic to expect the skate devs to convince EA on letting them delay this game any longer and add in single player stuff

im not gonna act like some loser purist though like of COURSE im giving "skate." a try, gameplay looks promising

[rocky hearth]

okay question for everyone time to start a fight LOL but do you eat steak with or without sauce

i dont understand how people cant eat it without sauce tbh lol

[hollow hazel]

I don’t eat the steak

[flint agate]

im not invested in skate much, when tf is the game releasing, ive heard abt it so much

[left tiger]

Yeah, I like steak with garlic sauce, or mustard

[waxen apex]

#game-announcements

[scenic gull]

At least you know that the game can’t be delayed any longer. So maybe game drops in this f2p state this year. And if it does well, maybe a standlone story mode offline can be done as a expansion later on

[grim otter]

id hope!!

[river gyro]

It’s 5 am why the heck ain’t I asleep yet how’s everyone doing

[neon owl]

5am.. 12 am here.

[river gyro]

I really do be up late huh

[scenic gull]

Midnight over here

[dull pilot]

As a Texan and frequent (2 times a week at least) griller of bovine deliciousness, a good steak doesn’t need sauce.

If sauce is needed, it’s overcooked or the cook hates you.

jk

Garlic butter or rosemary butter at most.

[river gyro]

Ok if we’re really starting a fight I have ketchup with mine

Plz don’t kick me 😭

[supple dagger]

Yea lmao I haven’t been in here in like 9 months

[supple dagger]

Truer words

[dull pilot]

No promises. That’s an offense that can’t be forgiven.

[supple dagger]

Whaddup jeffy it’s been a minute

[hollow hazel]

Wagyu steak with mint jelly

[rocky hearth]

okay i have have to with mustaurd? you mad?

[rocky hearth]

ive been to a place where they wont allow sauce they will ask you to leave lol its vary different

one of my friends wore a punisher t-shirt but then turn it inside out lol

also ketchup and mustard are you guys okay? lol

[formal tartan]

I just like to have A1 but ik some people that dont even taste their stuff before they drench it in sauces

[rocky hearth]

i like sauces but i don't know how they do without

i heard it masks the flavor

[formal tartan]

Right

[keen grove]

the real question is:

ranch or blue cheese?

[rocky hearth]

How about neither

[tiny prism]

Ranch

[hollow hazel]

Why is the cheese sad

[tiny prism]

You'd be sad if you were moldy

[hollow hazel]

We can’t know that for certain yet

[keen grove]

can confirm i havent showered in 6 months and i feel sad

[hollow hazel]

I think in this instance correlation =/= causation

[raven imp]

≠

just no jkust nooo loll

My wife used to think the song “Summertime” by Sublime said “Summertiiiiimmmeee…. Elevensiesies”

It’ll be fun to play! But don’t expect free drip. Map also might be questionable.

Hypothetical btw!!

[sudden warren]

What are we playing this weekend?

[tiny prism]

Maybe final fantasy 6

Maybe doom 3

Maybe chronotrigger
@sudden warren wbu hoss

[sudden warren]

i like that lineup!

Cod right now, but gonna continue my doom 1 run

[tiny prism]

1993 doom 1?

[dull pilot]

Indiana Jones, [redacted] and maybe some Diablo IV.

[redacted] is “Snuggle into a nap on the couch with Kuma watching Andor”

[river gyro]

Indiana jones game is pretty good ngl

[sudden warren]

no but you referred to what i assume is the new doom as doom 3 so i went with that

[tiny prism]

No I meant old doom 3

2004 doom 3

[sudden warren]

redacted sounds fun

[sudden warren]

ah. well given that doom (3 but not 3) just came out, it was fair to assume that is what you meant.

i think i played 3 a littel bit. i have a few hours of 1993 doom but never went through the whole thing

[tiny prism]

You should
The enhanced port of 1+2 they put out recently is one of the best ways to play it

[scenic gull]

I like [redacted]

[sudden warren]

How would you know you like redacted?

[hollow hazel]

Woah I’m right back playing Dave Mirra bmx on PlayStation now

Summertime La La La lemon squeezey

Can you build your own parks in skate?

Theyve talked about collabozones in the past where people can get together and build parks in the past but haven't mentioned them in a while :(

I never had a baco tell

[waxen apex]

What about a bacon shell

[river gyro]

A what now

[warm cipher]

Ayeeee, same here. I mainly play gunfight, SnD and small mosh pit

[river gyro]

I’m more of a zombies person I suck at multiplayer

[unreal finch]

You on xbox or pc?

Oh wait, you’re referring to mwiii. Im referring to the 2011 game haha

[river gyro]

I only played the campaign for mw3 since I got internet in 2013 I deffo missed out on the hay day of cod

[warm cipher]

I got both versions, the 2011 one and the recent one

[unreal finch]

Yes, ive been playing the 2011 MW3. Unfortunately on xbox there are a handful of modded lobbies.

[river gyro]

It’s the same with BO2 it’s a hot mess

[warm cipher]

I havent touch the 2011 in a ill minute. What we can do though, to avoid annoying pub matches is either play private matches, play the survival mode or play the op missions

[unreal finch]

Survival was awesome honestly, good competitor to cod zombies

[warm cipher]

It sucks how they got rid of the special op missions and the survival mode in the recent one

[unreal finch]

However some of the modded lobbies have increased lobby sizes, playing 9v9 on dome is really fun haha

[unreal finch]

right, mwii had it but i felt it was super underutilized

Spec ops atleast, i think the 2019 mw was the last game with survival.

[warm cipher]

Yeah, my friends and I use to try to complete 3 stars everything

[unreal finch]

Ahh stupidly though nobody remembered mw 19 having survival cause it was only on playstation

[warm cipher]

We 3 stars everything except, the last 1 or 2 missions. The jugs be annoying and hard to beat

[unreal finch]

Oh yeah MW2 from 09 had the same things, i remember one mission where you have to defend yourself against about 15 juggs. It was super hard for me back then

[river gyro]

Damn lmao

[warm cipher]

One the hardest missions that we beat but it took us mad tries is going against like 10-15 men in the broken bathroom map in mw2. You need to make it to the other side.

[unreal finch]

Im pretty sure i remember that mission as well hahaha that one was really fun

[tiny prism]

Ope
Wrong time to walk into chat ig
Later

[warm cipher]

lmao

[tiny prism]

Was hoping to talk about skate

Enjoy your chat then

[river gyro]

Talk about skate convos can steer

[tiny prism]

And

[river gyro]

?

[tiny prism]

?

[warm cipher]

But yeah @unreal finch if you're ever down to play COD mw3 the recent one or the old one. I be down. I be down to play pub matches or survival mode. But im more interested in playing the op missions. I really wanna 3 star everything or at least almost everything

[river gyro]

I’m still trying to 100% skate 3 lmao got like 4 annoying achievements left (team)

[warm cipher]

You'll get it. Lol you're an achievement hunter. I often try to at least 40-60 % everything. then im happy. Idc enough to 100% everything

[unreal finch]

I currently have the base game completed, i dont have the danny way or san van dlc on xbox so

[unreal finch]

Of course man 🤙

[river gyro]

Idk how to even get team achievements lmao.

Oh and ranked ones apparently

[unreal finch]

Ive been going back to 100% all the games ive played that i had most of the achievements in, its really fun

[warm cipher]

I dont do 100% everything because thats just way too much. I feel like 40-60% is a fine balance of "i already beat the story, but now ima explore of whats left in the game."

[unreal finch]

But kobe, i typically do try to get most of the achievements i can that arent time consuming or really difficult so i feel you there haha

[river gyro]

Eh I don’t achievement hunt unless it’s a game I love I’m going for the metros next

[unreal finch]

Im one achievement left on gta iv and mannnnnn what an absolute grind it was

[river gyro]

Wait isn’t there online achievements for GTA IV?

[unreal finch]

Indeed, about 7 i believe

[river gyro]

How were they?

Also rockstar games are notorious for being hard to 100%

[unreal finch]

Painful, theres one for max rank which takes ALOT of playing the same mission atleast for me. Then theres another for playing every single mode, and every single variation of it

[river gyro]

Damn I’ll pass that one then

Metro seems ok I also wanna do resident evil 7 and 8

Also the mafias but I don’t have the dlcs for 2

[unreal finch]

I would say i wont 100% another gta game after that, but ive been eyeing grand theft auto 3 recently too haha

[warm cipher]

Yeah. i do like a challenge, but i dont like it when its very time consuming. I often like achievements when its going with the flow. Like I had no intention of getting it. It just happen during a side mission or main mission

[river gyro]

I might do 6 rdr 2 looks impossible

[unreal finch]

Im jealous PS seperates dlcs from the base game, mafia 2s dlc achievements are a hunters worst nightmare

It also doesnt help mafia 3s achievements are perhaps the most buggy achievements ive ever dealt with so.. i didnt bother with that

[unreal finch]

For sure, id like to go back to pro skater 1+2 since i have three achievements left on it but goodness the grind for level 100 is painfully long

[warm cipher]

Yeah, whats your game work flow like (in general)? Do you beat the main story first and then play side missions? Or do you play some main missions and side missions at the same time? I often play main missions and side missions at the same time. So that way, I can get as much achievements as possible while I still have high interest in the game. And when I complete the whole story. Any remaining side mission, I do some of it while I still have interest in the game but just little at that point, since the main story is beaten. And because I play the side missions with the main missions at the same time. I know where to go since I already explore the map

[unreal finch]

It depends on the game honestly, im currently playing through the oblivion remake and ive been spreading in alot of the factions quests, i believe i am close to the end of the main quest. I really think thats the best way honestly, cause if theres a game with tedious boring side missions id really like to not be strictly doing those after the main story. For something like collectibles thats 100% something i save for last, ie caps in fallout new vegas, gaps in tony hawk, intel in cod

[warm cipher]

I feel you. Some game side missions are a chore to play so I skip all together. Like batman Arkham. The riddler missions are way to hard. I dont even have it in me to youtube the walk through. There's so many of them and all of them require brain power (i mean it makes sense, since it's the riddler and you're playing as the greatest detective) but still, I wanna relax when I game.

I like a balance of putting in the work to beat a game vs. if it feels like work, the game wont be fun anymore

But thats just me though, everyone is different

[warm cipher]

When it comes to collectibles, I really dont care for them. Unless the reward is really worth it. Like I unlock something to use or play as

[unreal finch]

Most of the times its the achievement for me 😅, though i do remember in tony hawks american wasteland all the gaps did unlock a few celebrity guest characters as skaters

[warm cipher]

I remember when I beat the challenge tower in mk9.... To only unlock a almost naked mileena. I got heated..... yall got me breaking my back for this......

[river gyro]

Nah like I can’t 100% it cos I don’t have the DLCs lmao. Tbh those DLCs suck

[wispy dust]

Skate will be a good game I can wait for tattoos and hairstyles

[warm cipher]

@unreal finch gonna DM you

[scenic gull]

PLEASEEE PLS let their be tattoos!!! Ong i am scared they may go too PG and not do piercings either

[wispy dust]

It will be rated teen if anything

[river gyro]

Wait surely piercings and tattooes are allowed in a PG game

[tiny prism]

Ofc they are lol

[trail warren]

Nothing much kai

[unreal pier]

theyve been inviting me for almost 3 years now 😭

[tiny prism]

Wait for a valid invite link

[river gyro]

Can’t talk about that here

[waxen apex]

But what we can talk about is chicken strips

[twilit needle]

its a shame will not get a story mode, well about the microtransactions: as long is only cosmetic and also if i can get all by simply playing the game without having to pay a cent for it, im fine

yeah sure

at least is not going to be pay to win

i meant pay2win

[wispy dust]

Unfortunately you need to have your own form your own opinion and not what ever think smh like the bandwagon on bashing we have a game that we didn’t have for 15 years just be thankful

[twilit needle]

is when you pay to have an advantage on the game, thankfully skate games never had that, the only payable stuff being cosmetic items, also the devs said it wont have loot boxes(paid ones at least) so is fine to me

[river gyro]

I just had those for tea

[waxen apex]

What does that even mean

[river gyro]

I had chicken strips for tea

[waxen apex]

Are you replacing the tea bags with chicken strips?

[last bloom]

ants can fly

[river gyro]

Where I’m from tea means tea and also dinner

[split sluice]

wheyyyy big ups englishman

[river gyro]

Alo

I’m from Newcastle fellow Englishman good evening, toodle pip

Not here

[drowsy junco]

oh wow really big brain ?

[river gyro]

Can’t even mention it

[drowsy junco]

thats why im asking 5 head

[river gyro]

No like you can’t mention anything to do with that at all

Also don’t be a meanie

[waxen apex]

Oh. That makes so much more sense now

[hollow hazel]

Why you so angry lol

[river gyro]

Where is everyone

[pastel talon]

waiting for the game to release

[worldly lynx]

I mean i already see the direction of game. Idk just prefer Older ones which was a smaller team as well

[pastel talon]

can’t be forsure till it’s out alpha tho

[river gyro]

Just go play the old ones then the future is now old man

[worldly lynx]

Riding much? Freedom of speech like it or don't not my problem

[hollow hazel]

What

[pastel talon]

lol what

[worldly lynx]

Typo on my part.

Though I just wonder how this new skate will top the others.

[pastel talon]

it might not even come close to any tbf it’s kinda unknown

all i know tho is i been playin SWTOR

[worldly lynx]

Yeah I never really seen any F2P sit well with fans. So idk time will tell I guess

Excited for 3+4. Hope skate can put older skates on new gen consoles

Though might be difficult since big black died

[river gyro]

Not riding just sick of people being negative

[hollow hazel]

Idk how you can prefer the older games when the new game isn’t even out yet

[zealous sinew]

Any new news

[hollow hazel]

We don’t know what’s new news to you

[scenic gull]

Who called for me

[tiny prism]

Lmao

[raven imp]

grind vol.2 next week

[scenic gull]

Waut frfr??

[hollow hazel]

For super realsies

[iron needle]

Is there anywhere I can make a ticket in the server?

[worldly lynx]

It's a live service game
Can you really consider it a game? You don't own it.

[hollow hazel]

Yeah I can consider it a game because of the way that it is

[sudden warren]

Like what? Warzone and fortnite are two of the biggest games of all time

[rough current]

i mean its still a game, its just a free to play game that you are granted a licence to play rather than paying for the right to play (you dont own a solid 60% of modern games, even the ones youve paid for, EULA can suck an egg)

[tight root]

Are there homies currently on da game 👀 im tryna link up

[worldly lynx]

At work. But dm your PSN

[tight root]

Also is it me or is it dead on there too

[waxen apex]

Wholesome and chill with occasional misinformation and tomfoolery 😈

[waxen apex]

Hi

[wraith snow]

how we doin Kaiza?

[waxen apex]

Tried to go back to bed after that message but now my stomach hurts

[quasi remnant]

Did they stop letting ppl in?

[tiny prism]

Read the grind

They never did continuous invites, they've been doing waves since the beginning

[quasi remnant]

I’ve been signed up since the beginning 💔

[tiny prism]

It's random, they aren't inviting people sequentially

[quasi remnant]

Messed up

[tiny prism]

It being random is the best option, gives everyone the same chance with every invite wave regardless of when they signed up

We don't know how many signed up but it's at least more than a few thousand, fully random makes the most sense

[quasi remnant]

Id kinda argue that people that have been waiting longer should get a better chance at least to an extent

[tiny prism]

Why

[quasi remnant]

Like people that signed up 2 days ago should not get it before people waiting years

[tiny prism]

I don't agree

But that's OK, we can have different opinions on it lol

[quasi remnant]

i mean honestly i guess ur right, whos to say that the person that signed up 2 days ago knew you could and the person that signed up years ago just signed up because they saw that they could and dont even really care

[tiny prism]

Ye

[sudden warren]

It's essentially a lottery. Just because you bought your ticket on Monday, and I bought mine on Wednesday should we have different chances?

Different way to consider it

[quasi remnant]

yeah i get that but i feel like die hard fans should get it earlier but then again maybe not cause they prolly want EVERYONES opinion

[sudden warren]

Exactly! They do

[quasi remnant]

just frustrating the only game i even enjoy playing anymore is skate 3 😭

[tiny prism]

@quasi remnant hopin you get in the next invite wave homie

[sudden warren]

You'll be able to play early access this year regardless!

[quasi remnant]

is this 100%

[sudden warren]

Yes they announced it

Next wave of PT invites are June, so I'd GUESS earliest that early access will open up to everyone would be august/sept

But no dates have been announced officially, just that it'll be in 2025

[quasi remnant]

alr ty

[sudden warren]

No doubt!

[brittle hornet]

Early Access 2025

[dull pilot]

also, in The Grind: Vol 1 we did state

Hey, I signed up but never got in. What gives?

• It's nothing personal, we promise! To make our testing most effective and to ensure stability, we are providing access to testers in waves. But rest assured, before we launch into Early Access, everyone who has registered as skate. Insiders will get an invite to come playtest the game.

[tiny prism]

The best part of that
"before we launch into early access, everyone who has registered as skate. Insiders will get an invite to come playtest"

[quasi remnant]

does this mean that i will get the playtest rewards

[dull pilot]

if you signed up, yes.

[quasi remnant]

bet ty

[sleek lance]

Is there any INSIDER discord server to talk about playtests freely?

[split sluice]

yeah the majority of the server

[waxen apex]

https://giphy.com/gifs/0fBIaU5tksC6sWFy39

[split sluice]

Bruh

[waxen apex]

Yoyo what's good Swag man

[obtuse creek]

god i wish they would fix skate 2 servers for 360 and ps3

[river gyro]

They won’t the game is delisted due to soundtrack stuff

[dull pilot]

The were sunset. They're not broken, they're gone. (It was 3-4 years ago, I believe.) And the game was delisted.

[obtuse creek]

well that sucks oh well

[river gyro]

I honestly wish the game got the GTA Iv treatment and removed the songs that are stopping it being sold. It’s a shame

[obtuse creek]

they are making a port for ps5 doe

[sudden warren]

That'll be cool if it's true

[obtuse creek]

but its going to worse then orignal

im thinking doe

[split sluice]

Yooo kaiza I’m chilling got back into payday2 so I’ve just been playing that , how you doing

[waxen apex]

Heck yeah man. I'm doing great

[sudden warren]

Wow 85k members! We flew from 80k

[river gyro]

Wait for which game?

[obtuse creek]

gta 4

[river gyro]

Oh yeah tbh I just play the original on Xbox. I’m sceptical cos of the grove street games stuff

[split sluice]

wheyyy we love dat

[kind turtle]

It’s probably going to be the same as the red dead redemption port

Meaning the game isn’t really changed in a meaningful way. Just a resolution bump.

And probably cutting the online mode

[river gyro]

Wait there’s a rdr port?

[rugged forge]

Any update on early access release date anyone know?

[tiny prism]

#1365004983212179578

[kind turtle]

Yeah. It got ported to ps4, ps5, switch, and pc

[tiny prism]

#announcements #game-announcements

[river gyro]

Ah just the 360 version on Xbox

I just installed that again tbf

I think that’s the one thing Xbox has over play station the backwards compatibility stuff and the controller design

[tiny prism]

Dualsense is def better in the hands for me, but the backwards compat is nicer

[river gyro]

See I got big hands and the way the left stick is slightly more up on the Xbox feels way better for me at least

[tiny prism]

I got big hands too
Just personal prefs

[tranquil hound]

Ummm did yall see that story

[tiny prism]

Nop

[river gyro]

What story!

[steep trail]

The one with the date ?

[river gyro]

It’s a vans challenge thing

Doesn’t really look related to skate?

[sudden warren]

Not related to a release date

Or the game at all for that matter

And they have revised their story haha

[dull pilot]

Anyone got a link? I'm confused. LOL

[dusk walrus]

skate. reposted an instagram story that was for a seperate event, happened to have a date at the end of the video 😂

[dull pilot]

ah.

got it.

[river gyro]

They do be trolling

[dull pilot]

Oh. The Dime Glory challenge. got it.

[radiant latch]

That’s not a release date you guys

[river gyro]

I didn’t even know dime was still a brand

[dull pilot]

The Year 2 deck was designed in collaboration with DIME and Vincent Tsang.

[dusk walrus]

thats sick

[radiant latch]

The grind update will be Wednesday? Right?

[dull pilot]

this week

[radiant latch]

Friday. Thanks Jeff 😂

[river gyro]

Oh really that’s quite cool

[light cosmos]

If skate drops November to December I might cry

[upper urchin]

agreed

[obtuse creek]

yea they sucked with the remastered versions but its a port

[radiant latch]

Delays are possible. But it seems like this year is locked for FC.

[light cosmos]

I predict September or Halloween time

[upper urchin]

words cannot express how excited i am

[radiant latch]

Makes sense especially if skate wants to do a Halloween themed cosmetic pack

Or season? (Are seasons a thing in skate?)

[light cosmos]

Ongg Ngl it dropping in October would be kind of fye but we need it earlier on my granny

[sudden warren]

It's taken down no worries about it now

[river gyro]

It’s still up…

Christmas Day would be kinda of a fire release day too

[sudden warren]

Negative Taylor. It has been taken down

[river gyro]

Negative Huckman it’s still up for me

[sudden warren]

Id close the app then

They took it down and reposted it without the date to avoid that confusion

[river gyro]

I have like 3 times lmao ohhhhh

I thought you meant the story in general

[sudden warren]

Oh nah my bad. The controversial part was the date haha

[vale anchor]

[river gyro]

Lmao all good

[vale anchor]

Good thing it's skate and not M-Corp. Otherwise they'd have to change their slogan

[river gyro]

We don’t use the M word around here bucko

[river gyro]

Nooooooo

I wonder why they changed it from mongo to M

[sudden warren]

It's a derogatory term of some sort I believe? So they wanted to stray away from any kind of confusion

[river gyro]

Is it?

[vale anchor]

If not directly, then it's very close to one that is and can be used as a shortened version of one. It makes sense

[sudden warren]

Oh yes yes now I recall. Yea, fair enough to distance from it!

[river gyro]

Huh I’m still confused but fair

[north heron]

i dont think we're allowed to answer that

[dull pilot]

i mean, we haven't officially said anything about it, so any answer is speculation at best.

[soft grotto]

08.30.25 What is the date in the history of the official Skate instagram account?

[sudden warren]

Use the internet, it's not anything scary bad to search i promise. @river gyro better to be informed!

[sudden warren]

If you saw the date I assume you watched the whole video, it's for the challenge dime/vans are hosting

[north heron]

im sure you know the answer but id hope seasons do get added

[radiant latch]

Yes I think one board room mention doing community events so that’s is an assumption on my part.

[north heron]

day and night cycle and weather would be nice as well

weather affects how skating feels as well

maybe even some light props that can help see things in the dark

[light cosmos]

if baker is in skate then its guranteed automatic game of the year

[tiny prism]

Ooo
Some people gettin boards

Forgot that was goin on

[river gyro]

There’s another competition pending from a few weeks ago too

[tiny prism]

Hell yeah

Hope those who win enjoy their boards

[river gyro]

I know Jeff said it was gonna be announced end of week but I think he had a bday according to the off topic channel

[tiny prism]

Happens

[river gyro]

Never mind bday Friday now I look like a dummy

[fresh abyss]

to be fair, a lot of early days skater terms would not fly anymore, we all know this.

We were dumb kids 💀

[dull pilot]

Yeah, I don't think it was intentional in many of the OG words, but as we grow and become more aware, the zeitgeist changes and words change.

[river gyro]

Oh yeah deffo. I’m reading a true crime book from the 1930s and gosh the words in there that were standard back then are insane

[sudden warren]

Exactly. Just because it was said with a different meaning years and years ago doesn't make it okay now

[river gyro]

Tbh Ive never heard the term used outside skate and skate culture but words have different meanings in other parts of the world

Anyway time to hop on skate 3 and try and thrash some people online

[tawdry sail]

Hey does anyone know how long it can take to become a playtester? I’ve signed up a bunch of times for about a year and have never been invited to play

[tiny prism]

It can take one day to over 2 years
Testers are chosen randomly from the pools, ensuring everyone who signed up has an equal chance at the time of selection

[hollow hazel]

No need to sign up multiple times, only gotta do it once, and there’s a wave of invites coming June but we don’t know what date

[river gyro]

About as long as a piece of string

[tawdry sail]

🤙

[torpid torrent]

Skate devs

I have a cool idea, imagine when we go to new maps in the future. Skaters are notified that a bus is going to the next city and we can skate to it and get on or grab onto the back to lock in our travel to the next map

Oh I put this is the wrong section

[sullen seal]

bluntslide the sign

[sullen seal]

i love doing it on hardcore

[torpid torrent]

Same

[sullen seal]

its actually easier to do it irl than on this game

[torpid torrent]

Hell if I knew how to fly outside a bowl and back into it I’d agree

[hollow hazel]

cruntslide the sign 😎

[scenic gull]

Im more of a crailslide kinda person

[hollow hazel]

Damn You okay ?

[ivory delta]

every body waiting for ea skate join vc hope ion get band for saying this kind gentlemen

[stiff quiver]

I tried skating in my street where I live didn’t see it had rocks I fell and scraped my knee and never got on a board again

[stiff quiver]

Why would you get banned

[ivory delta]

idk mb

[stiff quiver]

Your not thinking of streaming gameplay on there ?

[ivory delta]

no why u cant even stream in the server

[stiff quiver]

Oh then why you say hope I don’t get banned?

[ivory delta]

idk the rules once more my bad

[stiff quiver]

Then you won’t get banned if it’s just you letting people know your on vc

[ivory delta]

ok

[hollow hazel]

Am now, had to get a reconstruction done a couple years ago

They cut my hamstring and replaced the torn ligament with it lol

[stiff quiver]

Hope you Get better

[ivory delta]

Hope you get better 2 best of healing

[hollow hazel]

Thanks homeslice fully recovered now, I got a couple bolts in my leg I think they’re titanium, one is in my shin and a massive risk of bumping lol

[stiff quiver]

So you won’t be able to skate ever huh ?

[gray wraith]

😂

don’t forget what i said either @tiny prism

[tiny prism]

I did

I have zero clue what you're referencing I'm sorry 🙏

[hollow hazel]

Nah I’ve skated a bunch of times once I fully recovered, but it was about 6 years off board so can’t quite skate like I used to

Still being able to shralp some frontside grinds around a park is honestly enough for me it’s one of the best feelings

No dice

[stiff quiver]

this is a scam don’t fall for it

Jeff take care of this he messaged on every channel is it spam

Nobody cares about crypto

[tiny prism]

LMAO

[stiff quiver]

It’s a scam ain’t it

[river gyro]

100k you say?

Of course it’s a scam

[dull pilot]

use #support-desk to open a moderator ticket in the future, please. thanks!

[stiff quiver]

I don’t get why people do this crap

[dull pilot]

people don't. bots do.

what happens is folks don't keep their accounts secure - either they don't have 2FA or they click sus links and then BOOM! their account is now a spam/scam farm's account.

[stiff quiver]

Discord needs to make some kind of firewall to prevent this from happening

[dull pilot]

what's REALLY sad is - it happens mainly to folks who ahve been in a server for a while.

bot accounts generally don't pass through the onboarding and security checks of a server - it's folks who are many servers and they clicked something somewhere and now they get banned from all servers while the bot moves onto the next person.

[stiff quiver]

It said that he joined today and also it said that his account was made 2 days ago

Spicy 🥵

[solemn magnet]

What does everyone think of session?

I personally really liked it even tho I can't play it anymore since I switched from ps to xbox

[zealous sinew]

Session is straight ass

So is skater xl

With mods? I’m sure it’s decent

They just feel clunky to me

[solemn magnet]

I liked it as I skate irl and I suck so having session feel so realistic makes it feel really good when you do a trick. But that's just my personal opinion and skater xl wasn't as good but I liked it lol

[zealous sinew]

That’s fair. Seems like a lot of the irl skaters prefer that one

[last bloom]

it wasn't

[waxen apex]

[winged salmon]

[waxen apex]

Hi Jordan. How you doing today?

[sudden warren]

Sup sup, what have ya been skating lately?

[winged salmon]

what's good! Big chilling working today it feels like summer is here to stay, i'm hopeful. how about you

[winged salmon]

a skatepark that used to look like port carvetron. sadly they repainted it though

[waxen apex]

That's good. I'm doing alright. Gonna listen to some fire music

[winged salmon]

good vibes 🤝 good music. lets get it

[sudden warren]

Id like to learn more about this fire

[inland acorn]

I'm a fan after making a couple small mods but raw is okay. I like the controls a lot though

[modern radish]

Finally hit my first ever backwards man. Feels good man

[solemn magnet]

Yeah

I think it's pretty good

[sudden warren]

Im 15 years in and I still can't haha. Congrats!!

[modern radish]

I sat there for like a solid hour and finally got it (and teleported back before I realized it)

But I was able to pull it off again and now I can do it semi consistently

I am probably gonna try to learn that glitch with the upside down ramp that I see a lot

[modern radish]

Session player here, it’s mid, switched back to skate 3 because it just wasn’t enjoyable. Game is so buggy and half the time you need to google if you’re doing the missions right. 4/10

Looks cool, plays poorly

Modders hold the game up because the devs seemingly abandoned it

[dull pilot]

Ok geeza on it m8

[vale anchor]

Wanna know a funny discord thing?
They gave the Halo Ban Appeals server the ability to add a server tag BEFORE the Main halo server which is officially partnered and verified.

Now in the halo server a bunch of users noticed that the "staff" all have the tag and are asking if they can have the halo tag too. Our answer is "sure, but we'd have to ban you first"

[dull pilot]

aww. we don't have it here. boo.

[sudden warren]

Boo!

[vale anchor]

You would think they would've given official/partnered servers the feature first

[waxen apex]

We need new pics of Kuma

[quasi remnant]

lmao

[modern radish]

One of my favorite tricks is the air walk, I love how it looks

[dull pilot]

I trust the process.
Various servers, official/partnered and not - it's a good sampling to get the potential best practices and worst risks out of the way before rolling it out everyone.

[radiant latch]

I need a deep dive video. (Skate)

[warm cipher]

taylor you drink water every day, you're a fish in bikini bottom remember?

[river gyro]

Oh yeah… by water you mean milk and coke sure

And tea

I hardly drink water Whoopsie

[empty coyote]

Also it doesn’t have goofy stance animations, poor excuse for a “skate sim”

[sudden warren]

At the same time??

[river gyro]

Double dare me

I mean coke used to be served with ice cream

[sudden warren]

It's a thing

Pilk... Pepsi milk

[river gyro]

Awful lmao

[sudden warren]

Root beer float is also still very popular

[river gyro]

Tbh tho Americans have weird combos let me not get started on the chicken and waffle thing

[sudden warren]

I've had ice cream In Pepsi before too, I remember kinda liking it. But it's been decades lol

[waxen apex]

Hey Huck. How you doing today?

[dull pilot]

Chicken and Waffle is amazing.

There's a place in Austin, Tx called "Mrs. P's Electric Chicken" (they use a different word).
They have a quarter of Belgian waffle in a cup with leg quarter of fried chicken that is dredged in an amazing batter that has cayenne pepper. Then the chicken is drizzled with pickled jalapeno juice. Served with a side of sweet butter and syrup. It's amazing.

Roscoe's, a staple of LA, is also really good, but the chicken is a little lean.

[waxen apex]

Oh boy that sounds amazing

[waxen apex]

It says they're permanently closed. A shame

[dull pilot]

WHAT?!??!

Oh dang. It has been a while.

[waxen apex]

Yep. Sad times

[sudden warren]

I only had chicken and waffles recently and I approve of the hype. It was delightful

[waxen apex]

I haven't had any in a couple years but oh boy iHop does me good with the chicken and waffles

[dull pilot]

I'm stoked for my PTO starting tomorrow.

gonna grill and smoke meats and make stuff and ... yeah. 🙂

I've already got a habanero maple glaze going for some thick beef back ribs.

[river gyro]

Ah nah I can’t imagine mixing sweet stuff with meat

[dull pilot]

I was thinking about doing a crawfish or shrimp and crab boil on my bday.

[vale anchor]

I just went to a chicken and waffle place around here, was absolutely in love with it!
To find out a week later they are closing soon 😭

[dull pilot]

during 2020, a friend and I found a NY Style kosher deli that had the most amazing pastrarmi on rye, garlic truffle fries, and homemade cream sodas.
they had outside picnic tables, it was awesome.
went twice and they shut down due to the pandemic.

[vale anchor]

(if you ever need some good Cajun spices for your boil, you know who to hit up )

[sudden warren]

Seafood boils are 🚀

[sudden warren]

I've only had ihop once 🥴

[dull pilot]

gurl, you know I grew up in the Gulf. I gotta do with what this West Coast has.

but I did find some really good Andouille a few months back. Made some mad jambalaya.

[vale anchor]

Had crawfish this past weekend and having another boil soon. It's addicting

[dull pilot]

one of my favorite server jobs was working at a seafood place near Galveston. 4lbs of crawfish + potatoes and corn for $10. $3 beer pitchers.
tables of 20+. It was wild. Jalapeno cornbread, grilled and fried catfish. best hush puppies ever.

[waxen apex]

Same but oh man it was so good. It was like 10pm after work too. Good times. I gotta go back with a buddy or two

[wraith snow]

i had a server job at a pizzaria for a summer job once, its nice, cause people cant be mad when u get em good food haha

[waxen apex]

Man that sounds like an awesome time! I have a small local Thai place that has Traditional Thai food and it's awesome. They have the best Pad Thai I've had locally

[vale anchor]

Exactly. Which means you desperately need a hookup and I got boucheries with custom spice blends all around me.
Need some DatDip? Heberts Seasoning? Zataran's boil? This cajun boil mix I can't remember the name of but buy it by the tub that's amazing to use.
All a postage box away

[river gyro]

I’ve had I hop more than you and I ain’t even American lol

[waxen apex]

I just tried pizza with alfredo the other day. Alfredo, steak, chicken, and mushrooms. It was amazing. It was kind of like steak and mashed potatoes all in one. Very weird that it tasted like that a little bit, but it was comforting and awesome

[sudden warren]

I have alot better local places

[river gyro]

I’m trying to think where was my fave place to eat when I was there

[wraith snow]

thats sounds interesting, but, like it would work not gonna lie haha

[river gyro]

Probs Charlie’s or outback

[sudden warren]

Idk what Charlie's is and outback is also a chain

[river gyro]

Charlie’s was a steak house tbh I’ve only been to Orlando

The one thing I know we do better is fish that’s a given

[sudden warren]

Idkkkkk

Thats up for debate

[waxen apex]

It was Dominos too. Idk who chose the pizza, but they did great with the toppings

[river gyro]

Like our waters the north of England’s fish at least white meat fish are amazing

[wraith snow]

uuuu nice!!!

pizza hut just opened here in denmark, so when the chain expands here, imma try that, cause in denmark, theres not rlly "chain" pizza brands like dominos etc. so i wonder how that is compared to the turkish guy at the corner making the pizza with all the love hes got haha (which is what u mainly see here)

[sudden warren]

Seafood is pretty big in alot of areas in the states too

[sudden warren]

Wait til you have a New York Slice. That's the REAL stuff

[wraith snow]

objectively Huck, im sorry but thats factually incorrect...

[river gyro]

We have a great little Italian pizza place in my city it’s great and also a New York styled one. I prefer Pizza Hut over domino’s tbh

[sudden warren]

Ask the Italians

[river gyro]

The thing with Italians tho they get annoyed when you start putting wild toppings on it

Like I’m a bbq chicken pizza kinda person or doner kebab pizza

[wraith snow]

yeah, i would get that, cause to me as a danish person, it would be like, if people started taping together lego pieces, instead of just clicking them together haha

[river gyro]

Ahahahahahaha glueing them 💀

[wraith snow]

NEVER!!!! MENTION THAT!

its a crime. do u rlly wanna go to lego jail?

[river gyro]

No I love Lego

I get it tho I’ve seen some Americans make English tea really bad I’m like damn

[wraith snow]

i love english tea

[waxen apex]

Definitely try it. It's so good where I live

[river gyro]

Yeah it’s good here too the buffet is killer

[iron ruin]

Detroit deep dish is where it’s @

[river gyro]

Nah thin over deep dish

[iron ruin]

Eatin paper

[wraith snow]

damn, i guess i gotta try it

theres like 3 locations in the country atm, so ill wait till they expand, but they just mentioned opening 4 more locations, so it seems to be doing well enough here haha

[iron ruin]

[river gyro]

We got Taco Bell a few years ago and also popeyes but pop eyes is gross I refuse to get another one

[iron ruin]

Yeaaaa Popeyes fell in quality

[river gyro]

Little Nicky lied about it being awesome that’s why I wanted to try it

We also have another American chain opened up can’t really say in chat but there’s and uproar here for it to be shut down

[dull pilot]

Richard's or is it about owls?

[river gyro]

Owls

[dull pilot]

Food ain't even that good, to be honest.

[river gyro]

Oh I can imagine. Same with cheesecake factory the cheesecake was meh the food was actually pretty good tho

[sudden warren]

I like thin crust personally

[river gyro]

Spoken like a true pizza fan

The uk has some wild pizza concoctions

[dull pilot]

I had some Swedish friends that liked banana on their pizza.

[wraith snow]

swedish people are crazy in general so makes sense
(i gotta bully the swedes, its in my dna as a danish person) haha

[river gyro]

Oh no I don’t even vibe with pineapple

I think bbq chicken or kebab is my fave pizza with garlic sauce

[sudden warren]

Sounds like they are no longer your friends

[empty plume]

I have a question

[tiny prism]

I may have an answer

[dull pilot]

I have a declarative statement.

DRINK WATER!

[river gyro]

I’ll drink water if I get some skate fingerboards jk

[dull pilot]

I got about 100 sets I need to get rid of, so you're probably gonna be in luck.

[river gyro]

Yoooo really

100 sets how many were made sheesh

[dull pilot]

1000 sets

[river gyro]

I saw some guy trying to sell them on eBay for £500 crazy

[dull pilot]

jeez.

[austere umbra]

when is the release date of this game

[river gyro]

I know right. What’s that like 650 in dollsrs

[dull pilot]

Early Access drops this year.

[split sluice]

he also put it on vinted lmao

[river gyro]

Damnnn they’re down to £300 now

[dull pilot]

Mine are free.

[river gyro]

Jeff what we gotta do 😭

[split sluice]

just beg for a "skate care package" for ages

[river gyro]

No I don’t wanna annoy people

Unless nah jk. Insert the gif of SpongeBob on his knees begging

[vale anchor]

[split sluice]

yeah idk who would do that 😳 (i did)

[river gyro]

Did it work?

[split sluice]

it did , but i also did the world famous skate short analysis for every skate short(not famous)

[vale anchor]

It was more than just begging. It was being awesome in the community with a hint of begging lol

[river gyro]

What did you get?

[split sluice]

wheyyyy thank you Skyfi

[split sluice]

the finger deck set so the bag and stickers as well , and the san van snowglobe

[vale anchor]

That bag is my perfect gymbag

[river gyro]

That’s so awesome

[split sluice]

i need to find a use for it

[river gyro]

Tbh a cool idea would be putting some in a random part of where ever Jeff lives then posting it to the skate insta story be like come find it

[split sluice]

would be cool but you might just get a bunch of people physically fighting over it

[river gyro]

Not if I get a plane from england and steal it first

[dull pilot]

Let's do a bunch of fingerboard sweeps in June & some deck sweeps. Gotta clean out my closet so we can get ready for Year 5 decks.

[vale anchor]

I'm waiting to hear that you ended up having to rent a storage unit lol

[river gyro]

I mean 25 decks won in the last few weeks so that’s some space out of your closet at least

I wonder how many decks Jeff has just for giveaways lol

I was gonna ask again when coach Frank comp is getting announced but I don’t wanna be Annoying I basically did didn’t I Jeff said end of last week the anticipation is killing

[sudden warren]

Year 5 👀

[vale anchor]

He's shared photos before where his livingroom(?) was consumed by cardboard

[scenic nova]

easiest thing ive done

[torn tiger]

bru hurry up and drop the game tf

[vale anchor]

But if they drop it, it might break! Gotta be more careful with these things

[dull pilot]

Early Access is this year. relax - deep breath.
it's coming.

[final tinsel]

Is the next Playtest wave still in June?

[dull pilot]

We've got stuff coming, yes.

[split sluice]

cant wait for 10 min slowmode when the invites go out

[torpid torrent]

Praying that everyone stays alive until the game drops 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾

[dull pilot]

This year I'll have close to 1000 Year 5 decks for contests and sweeps.

Normally, I get around 500.

[river gyro]

That’s crazy

[dull pilot]

I'm working to get it updated on the carousel on Friday, pending The Grind: Vol 2 release.

[river gyro]

That’s a lot of trees

[dull pilot]

crazy is every gift, sweeps prize, or content prize in the past 4 years has been packed and shipped by yours truly.

[violet tapir]

Someone said year 5? 👀

[dull pilot]

Close to like 2500 packages, I think.

[dull pilot]

yeah, heading to production right now.

[river gyro]

Ea better be paying you premium

[violet tapir]

Omg I can’t wait to see it

[dull pilot]

it's about the love of community, bud. that's why I write on every box.

[river gyro]

That’s sick

You don’t see many games do this ngl if at all

I wish skate had this back in the day too

[vale anchor]

About to unlock the achievement of carpal tunnel lol

[dull pilot]

hahah.

[river gyro]

Same I’m a drummer so I feel that one

[tiny fiber]

Play the final song from whiplash with a bald dude yelling at you, or you’re not a drummer

[river gyro]

Guess I’m not a drummer

[upbeat patio]

I used to pray for times like this

[dull pilot]

Next volume of The Grind drops on Thursday.

[raven imp]

game probably in 2026

[tiny fiber]

Good. I’m not a guitarist either, I can’t play free bird with an eagle on my shoulder

[split sluice]

cant wait to have it on my wall 😉

[dull pilot]

Early Access in 2025.
We've already stated this.

[scenic gull]

Holy moly , i wonder if this is because year 5 IS THE year

I wonder if deck gets revealed in July

[tiny prism]

I'm gettin one o them decks 😈

[torpid torrent]

So you telling me you shipping these personally?

I believe it tbh, only cool people would ship gear themselves

[dull pilot]

Since we started shipping gear, I’ve personally done every package, yeah.

[kind turtle]

Damn that’s awesome

[tiny prism]

And they're all very nicely packed :3

Speaking from experience

[violet crescent]

Wrong place

[tiny prism]

The playtesters forum?

[scenic gull]

Um. Even skate 1 had fast travel. Just dont use it

[violet crescent]

My b, wrong place.

[scenic gull]

Kick, Push

[slender wing]

I’m ready to skate I can’t wait … proxy chat in game ?

Shopping skate mall to get dress?

[wraith snow]

"its the way we roll, just lovers intertwined with no place to go, so we kick, push, kick, push, kick, push" - lupe fiasco

[ivory delta]

I DID NOT KNOW JEFF was the server manager i thought he was just a nice dude who joined my call \

[dull pilot]

I’m the Global Community Manager. Been at EA almost 15 years.

Glad you’re here with us, buddy.

[raven imp]

and the full game

[ivory delta]

im only 15 thats why ion know tbh

[trail warren]

tom brady ohh yeahh

i hired a voice actor for recording lines for mario kart wii omg im laughing so hard

i have the most funny mods i installed

[dull pilot]

The game will continue to build and evolve through Early Access and the lifetime of the game.

“Full game” implies end of development, which ain’t how skate. is going to be.

We’ve stated this as well.

[trail warren]

hey uh if you decided to add memes as a joke to your game let me know

or custom stuff im really good at modding in general

like very good

[scenic gull]

Ayyy you got the reference (;

[raven imp]

oh so early access means official release, get it

[scenic gull]

Yes. It just isn’t v1.0

[dull pilot]

not sure why you think you need to keep "interpreting" what I say - but you can stop. I'm pretty clear about what I post, and don't need incorrect assumptions.

cool?

[drowsy salmon]

Is there a forum where I can discuss bugs and glitches ?

[raven imp]

incorrect assumptions ?

[dull pilot]

if you're a playtester, that information was sent via email - this is not the place to discuss playtesting bugs, issues, or feedback.

[drowsy salmon]

Thanks for the reminder I forgot

[marble flame]

The first content contest of the year 5 deck has to be best theme of the year 5 graphic. It could be photo, film and skate. park

[dull pilot]

I've got about 8 content contest ideas in the bag, but you'll have to wait and see.

[marble flame]

[sudden warren]

Very important information!

[sudden warren]

Have you actually seen them yet? I think that's a fair non leading question! I will have 0 follow up questions.

[hollow hazel]

I’ll have several

[wraith snow]

yea i used the song in a skate edit once! been on repeat since

[wraith snow]

but Jeff.... im hella impatient.. 🥲

but. imma let u cook

all jokes aside

cant believe its been 5 years since i, in a call told my friends "HOLY, GUYS SKATE. IS ACTUALLY BEING MADE?!"

haha, time flies fr

[sudden warren]

Tony even added it to the new game

[scenic gull]

Im using an arcades of fire song for my first skate. edit!

Or maybe smashing pumpkins 🤔

[wraith snow]

uuuu i dont even know what song id use for the new one, maybe smth more chill and indie, since the new games look abit more like "crusing with friends" vibes?

where older skate games were abit rougher if u ask me

[waxen apex]

Time has flown. Seeing Calplex freak out about it on Twitter back in 2020 or 2021 was insane

[wraith snow]

exactlyyyy!!!

i remember my friends going like "No Luna, it isnt being made..", and i was going crazy trying to get screen sharing to work haha

[scenic gull]

I used four emojis and coach frank deleted my message 🙄

How is that too many

[hollow hazel]

Maybe try five

[scenic gull]

Wait it was 5 lol

[waxen apex]

Try 6 or 7

[scenic gull]

No one ever talks about the Year 0 deck (;

[sudden warren]

Lol true I guess we could call the Full Circle Decks Year 0

[dull pilot]

Super limited.

[scenic gull]

a Lmtd. Run deck for internal staff, that one looks so good plus it is a Powel Collab

[waxen apex]

Imma get one in my grubby mitts

[scenic gull]

I need Year 5! I dont even know what it look like 😆 but i needs it

[waxen apex]

Imma get my grubby mitts on that too

[scenic gull]

Absolutely, ill be sure to enter every giveaway

[hidden bronze]

Hey yall! How’s everyone doing?

[hidden bronze]

Big yes to the Pumpkins for that choice

[scenic gull]

hell yeah, def going to do smashing pumpkins for that first edit

seriously cant wait for Skate.'s debut later on this year

We all have been waiting for so long, kinda crazy to think EA Play was half a decade ago when Cuz announced WE ARE BACK

[waxen apex]

Doing amazing! Organized my movies and CDs into better containers. Saving me tons of space

[hidden bronze]

Hell yeah my man, I cleaned and organised my room like mad the past few days, I certainly missed the euphoria I get when everything is back in place

[waxen apex]

I also have room for a new deck 😉

Not EA related, but a sick deck nonetheless

[hidden bronze]

Ooohoo, can’t complain about that
I had to put all mine under my bed, it doesn’t feel right having them under there but I don’t have space nor any hangers to display them on

[young ore]

okay so questions 1: where will they tell me im in the playtest 2: where do i download (if im acepted) and 3 is playtesting available

[waxen apex]

1. Your email
2. Your email
3. Not 100% sure

[young ore]

thx

wait do you know when i might get emailed???

anyone really

[dull pilot]

Yeah. Check #1365004983212179578 - everyone who signs up will eventually get invited.

[young ore]

wait actually???

[young ore]

so is there an estimate on how much time itll take????

[dull pilot]

Before Early Access.

[young ore]

another thing what do i have to be in for the skate devs to see my request like email for EA and Skate.

[dull pilot]

Huh?

[young ore]

hmm well i mean like are there some sort of steps to it?

Like how do the devs know i guess

[dull pilot]

How do they know what?

Do you not know this is the official skate. Discord?

Like, run by EA and Full Circle.

[young ore]

yes i know its the skate discord

wth im confused

[dull pilot]

Looks like it, yeah.

[young ore]

cause ive submitted it a LONG time ago and ive gotten northing not like hey you havent been selected sorry or you have been selected etc

[dull pilot]

You just have to wait for an invite, bud. When you’re selected, you’ll be sent an email from the playtesting team.

(We don’t send out “you weren’t selected this time” emails)

[modern radish]

I’m praying the backwards man still works

[young ore]

thanks man have a great day

[foggy yacht]

Thx for confirming this! (I’ve been checking the forums expecting an update, a bit too much lately for my own good)

[wary hamlet]

😬 dev team ❤️

[waxen apex]

Dang. I just had them sitting out in piles before. I put them in shoe boxes and stacked them up for now. I took pics of each box so I can go and look for a movie in want to see so I know where to go without digging for eternity

[hidden bronze]

Fair enough haha

I’ve been kinda bored myself, recently
So I’ve gone back to playing some classic games I haven’t touched in years

[waxen apex]

Now it takes up less than half the space of the corner my movies were in

[waxen apex]

I've just been playing Minecraft and watching more CaseOh

[hidden bronze]

Ah yeah, that’s a perfect combination

[mental pewter]

Bro skate. has a lil short saying how everyone was asking for baggy pants and the comment section is filled with people going "how about we get a baggy offline mode" 😭

[raven imp]

riders republic 2 🔥🔥

[exotic beacon]

Duck goes quack

[stiff quiver]

Mouse goes squeak

[crisp hinge]

I hope skate period has suits, imagine riding around on some slender man stuff.

[raven imp]

same i want myself da famous giraffe skin 🦒

[wary hamlet]

😭 gonna ask for fortnite dances next?

[raven imp]

fortnite events would be crazy think about that

but unfortunately it won’t happen 😞

[wraith snow]

"KITTYYYYYY" - CaseOH
has to be the line that defined my 2024 the best LMAO

[wraith snow]

i thought a duck said "hey, got any grapes"?

i guess the internet is full of lies.

[wraith snow]

i would say dont count on it
devs do as much as they can to fix bugs, and since its a new engine, new physics etc. intentionally making bugs in a game, would be a silly choice

[wide moat]

can someone help me with achievement in skate 3 xbox

i need to play ranked team otl game
