Money cards a pre paid debit we use for online stuff and the like. Not a Walmart specific card. Though they do have a credit card or something (I believe). But thanks for the info.

If you're worried about CC fraud or whatever, open another checking account and transfer money from the main account when you want to buy stuff. Or just buy things from the internet on a credit card.

It's worse then that. Right now hundreds, possibly thousands, don't even have access to funds/balances due to "maintenance" going on 96 hours. Its a whole cluster gently caress of CIG like proportions. But that's for another thread entirely.

Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet.
Another ATV, another new hire.

Erik Link is their associate technical animator. This is his second day on the job. And I'm just assuming he may the guy brought in to help break the log-jam on all those animations they've recorded over the last two years that have just piled up, for want of a talent to get them into the game.

(Not a diss on this new guy-- if he can help, good for him.)

--

Jake Ross proves yet again to be the most forthright figure on the AtV rotation:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDzAmjYncQk&t=546s

In 2.4, there's a new weapon shop in ArcCorp with the name "Cubby Blast".

This seems like a positive step-- focusing on adding more than just layerable, stylish clothing for your white male space dollie. He describes the weapon inspection animations that allow the "try before you buy" magic to work...

"But the weapons that we had in there, they weren't really doing it for us. They were a little strange. The camera was moving around, lot of like what we had with the original release of the emotes."

But it sounds like they may have a handle on fixing it? Maybe? What's unclear is whether the weapons themselves were strange or they animations were strange or both.

Instead of having to stare at your lines every 3 seconds Sandi, how about you prep before the show and use the moments Ben is jabbering about whatever to review for the next part. Also learning how to communicate with human beings would be a plus; especially as the VP of Marketing.

They throw new people in front of the camera as often as humanly possible to show that everything is fine. I think the LA studio has been doing it every week for a while now.

He did say many don't really welcome that. It's a no lose situation-- oblige the coercion even if you don't want to be made a face for the company, or decline and irritate management.

I say best of luck to him-- sounds like he's going to stay very busy!

I did love the pic by the way. It made me and V have a laugh. Glad to know I've provided ammunition for Lols (at my expense). And not sarcasm, it was really funny. Wish it could be the official message.

Could always have used more "oval office" and hypocrite" though. But I'm biased.

Wow-- this genuinely surprised me. The inclusion of shops in ArcCorp I get. In Port Olisar, it just seemed silly.

But now, they've got a brand new Space Station being added-- for Pirates get their own Pirate shops. (Preview added!)

Shopping really does sound like it's going to be the most Persistent thing in the Persistent universe.
