#GamesIndustry #Blizzard #MIkeYbarra #Tipping
Tipa, @massivelyop It's called "paying the subscription" or "buying the game". Same BS when I was working doing backend work for a company that made graphics applications. The UI developers were superstars. The people making their work possible got nothing. I quit that company.
CompilerBreak, @massivelyop The heck. If I really liked something I'll get the deluxe version, or dlc, or gift a copy to a friend, or another game that studio made...

ianrogers, @Natanox if purchase isn't ownership, piracy isn't theft.
RustyMehlberg, "THE BIG ONE" WINTER STORM SYSTEM:
The #Northland will see its strongest #winter #storm of the season over the next three days.
What does that mean for #snowfall totals, possible #blizzard conditions, and #rain/mixed #precipitation chances through Tuesday?
VIDEO: https://www.facebook.com/fox21online/videos/334322816308196/
RustyMehlberg, #Snowfall will be highest along the #NorthShore, #TwinPorts, and #I-35 corridor regions. The shoreline will also have #blizzard conditions with the highest #winds.
Northwest #Wisconsin and the #UpperPeninsula will see the #snow transition to #rain starting Monday afternoon.
Some #icing is possible in spots.
#wxtooter #weather #wx #MNwx #WIwx #UPwx
Icing from this storm system is possible along the I-35 corridor, the Twin Ports, and the North Shore. Ice totals will range from a glaze to one-tenth of an inch.
Total precipitation from this storm system will range from 0.75-inches up to 2-inches.
Wind speeds will be strong throughout this storm event. Everyone will see gusts over 30 mph at times. The strongest winds will be along the North Shore, with gusts of 40 to 50+ mph.
ai6yr, (edited ) Missed this from last week.
WaPo:Goats were stuck in traffic. Dozens of strangers helped milk them...
"Jose Garcia was hauling a load of goats to his California dairy farm when he hit a huge snowstorm as he drove through Utah. Traffic was at a standstill.
He felt panicked as hours ticked by with snow and high winds swirling around the truck, and no sign of movement on the freeway that evening, March 2."

ai6yr, I hope these truckers packed food. #DonnerSummit #DonnerPass #blizzard #CAwx #snow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL9ectO13gA
Red semi with a man in it. Snow up past the hood. The semi is not moving.
ai6yr, This looks like it really, really blows if you are a trucker. #DonnerSummit #blizzard #CAwx #snow #stranded
ai6yr, Interview with the guys hauling them out, it appears most of the truckers had NO CLUE they were about to be stranded, and that there was an incoming blizzard... ("unless they checked social media"). Apparently a lot of drivers don't speak English as a first language; seems to me there is a distinct need for multi-lingual warnings at Donner Summit.
ai6yr, Great photo of Donner Pass in the LA Times this morning. The camper truck on the left is actually a Caltrans vehicle, they park them up there with food and a coffee maker for the snow plow operators. #DonnerPass #blizzard #snow #CAwx

br00t4c, 'As bad as it gets': powerful blizzard hits California, closing roads and ski resorts
allynkhine, @br00t4c been there and done that
ai6yr,
ai6yr, Hmm, Google says the US-50. I have my doubts on how wise that would be. It says I can bicycle 17 hr 12 minutes up Dog Valley Road, however! 🤪 (ps. don't do that).
Google recommending Dog Valley Road for bicycling from Sacramento to Reno
ai6yr,
ai6yr, Half Dome Camera is... interesting tonight. #Yosemite #blizzard https://www.nps.gov/yose/learn/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm
mybarkingdogs,
ai6yr, @mybarkingdogs @lckrohjr The snow swirls near Donner Summit last night were impressive (on traffic cam).
ai6yr,
ai6yr, Further down the road, ETA on a tow was FOUR hours. And someone needing winching. They're still on hold for ETA for a tow now -- call 3 hours later.
ke7zum, @ai6yr OH god. Here it is so windy things are flying in my back yard. I'm about maybe 300 miles away from SoCal. Maybe the cough medicine I'm on is making me jumpy but right now I'm a bit scared.
douglasvb, The #blizzard has finally arrived at #ForkedMeadow #California. It's 26f and snowing very hard. Let's see if we get the 7 feet of promised snow.
ai6yr, CHP Truckee: "(03/02/24 at 8:30am)
I-80 remains closed at the Nevada state line and Colfax. Last night, we had a mass amount of vehicles stuck over Donner Summit and it took several hours for emergency personnel and tow trucks to reach motorists."
ai6yr, "At one point, emergency personnel and tow trucks had a difficult time getting to motorists due to blizzard conditions. @CaltransDist3
is currently evaluating the roads and we will be working on recovering vehicles left on the freeway after motorists were transported to a safe location. There is no estimated time of reopening the freeway, so we suggest you stay home. Stay warm and don’t put yourself and your family in a dangerous situation." #DonnerPass #DonnerSummit #snow #traffic #CAwx #CHP #truckee
ai6yr,
ai6yr, And it begins... traffic is stopped at Donner Summit, in the middle of a blizzard. #CAwx #blizzard #tahoe #DonnerSummit
ai6yr, Looks like party guests are getting out of their vehicles... I-80 at Castle Peak also stopped. #DonnerSummit #CAwx #blizzard
ai6yr, Ouch. Caltrans Quickmap shows traffic stopped entirely over the pass. Another area, 3 vehicles stuck in the road, and somebody abandoned their snowmobile in lanes. #DonnerSummit #CAwx #blizzard #snow https://quickmap.dot.ca.gov/
Report of snowmobile stuck, plus vehicles also stuck in the road.
ai6yr,
ai6yr, My poetry response:
A black Toyota Tacoma
Has driven over a tree
Somewhere on the SR twenty
In the snow, it's stuck you see.Due to foolishness or judgement lapse
It's high centered on the trunk
Need some guys with chainsaws now
Hopefully they're not drunkWhy are people driving in a storm
And using their truck to climb up trees?
I have no idea what they were thinking,
But some people just do whatever they please
mybarkingdogs, @ai6yr HAHAHA that's great
ai6yr, Jonathan Petramala (at 7:46pm)
"UPDATE: Hundreds of cars stranded on I-80 near the Donner Summit…blizzard winds and heaviest snow of the storm starting. It’s a race to see if they can clear the interstate before cars get too buried."
ninavizz, @ai6yr Really wanting to make a Donner party joke, but—hundreds, damn. I'll admit, as a snowboarder I would have been excited by the snow—but the predictions are catastrophic, not fun—and they also sound like avalanche season, which is death for mountain-sliders.
cookiesinheaven,
ai6yr, Tow truck just did a U-Turn (on the I-80) on Donner Summit. Traffic is still moving, that said. 🤔 #blizzard #tahoe #CAwx
Same tow truck which for some reason did a U-turn.... and going down the interstate the wrong way.
BakerRL75, @ai6yr And so it begins…
geographile, @ai6yr at 12:47 pm according to Google maps: short stretches of 80W are closed over the summit (don't see why not just close it all), 80E, 50, and roads around the lake are open but crawling.
Just stay home folks.
ai6yr, LA Times: "Epic blizzard hitting Tahoe, Mammoth, Sierra Mountains ‘with a vengeance’ " #blizzard #tahoe #CAwx https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-02-29/treacherous-blizzard-to-hit-tahoe-mammoth-gusts-of-110-mph-are-possible-do-not-travel-forecasters-say
mycotropic, Okay, who clicked the button for #Blizzard from False to True?
RainofTerra, Cleaning out garage and ran into this #Blizzard
twipped, @RainofTerra are those games you worked on?
KazuShuSora, German Da dachte man, SBMM wäre schlimm und dann hört man von EOMM..
Mich wundert aber ehrlich gesagt gar nichts mehr bei diesem Unternehmen.
Wer noch bei Activision Blizzard Spiele kauft, steht auch auf Schmerzen.
Ich kann es mir anders nicht mehr erklären.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSTJhWsJoC0

RPD0911, Hungarian Úgy gondoltam itt az ideje kiirtani azokat az online fiókokat, amiket létrehoztam az elmúlt 10 évben.
#Blizzard fiók törlése: helpből kinézve a linket, majd egy 5 lépéses varázsló, amiben van egy ilyen captcha:
RPD0911, Hungarian Legjobb az egészben, hogy nem tudják megerősíteni, hogy én vagyok. Ezért törölni sem tudják. Imádom.
iamdtms, Hungarian @RPD0911 Elképzelem, ha te nem tudod végig vinni, akkor kire van "tervezve" ez.
Ductos, An ambitious modding team has recreated the Horde campaign from #WarCraft2 in #WarCraft3Reforged - including full voice acting for every character, unique models, gameplay adjustments, side content, and a recontextualized story that acknowledges changes that have been made since #WorldOfWarcraft.
They're currently working on the Alliance campaign, which won't release in one go, but rather smaller episodes. #Blizzard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=420SUSIuU3c
