Hello fellow Patrons, and welcome to this week's edition of the Strategic Nuclear Moose (SNM) Sentinel, a Nukapedia Wiki News Digest (WND).

The SNM sentinel is a consistent Friday release, and will be covering everything from wiki-related news, geek culture, and community content established to help incentivize our incredibly hard working and devout editors, who certainly deserve a bit of recognition for their parts in improving and expanding this wiki and the community behind it.

For those that were not around during the Sentinel's origin days, the concept is a community driven one, affording opportunities for our fellow Patrons to contribute towards each edition. Interested in getting to know the community behind the SNM? Feel free to not only join us on our personal Discord here, but also the overall Nukapedia Discord here.

1. We now offer a newsletter iteration of the Sentinel for our Patrons to enjoy! Interested? Feel free to sign-up here, and reap the perks.
2. The Bank of the SNM's virtual store is finally opening this Sunday, so make sure to start saving up your Credits!
3. Also opening up tomorrow, is the Patrons' Lounge, where members of the SNM community can get together to showcase their unique ideas. Our opening personalities will be:
   1. Salt Lake City: A fan-fic going into the events of the Vault 51 dwellers, who left the comforts of their metallic home, and re-founded Salt Lake City.
   2. Ask Marcus: Marcus is the super mutant to see for all philosophical insight needed regarding the Fallout universe.
   3. Brotherhood of Steel: The first SNM faction that will be introduced, the BoS are a techno-fascist cult worshipping any and all technology that can be used to further advance the human race. Complete missions to rank up throughout the BoS, earning unique perks while progressing up the leaderboard, competing with your other fellow recruits.
4. Gizmo's Workshop will have a late release, being moved to later today, instead, and will be covering the Sim Settlements mod for Fallout 4. Next week's edition will be released as normal on Wednesday.
5. The first edition of the Proving Grounds was released a short while ago, which provides both a deathmatch arena feature, and a mentorship program that will be used to acclimate newer editors to the Nukapedian world of editing. The Skuz Pitt feature will be updating every Monday, so make sure to vote for your favourite contestants!

1. A project currently in dire need of additional helpers, is the Behind the Scenes Speculation Project, which is seeking to both help verify and/or remove dubious information found across the wiki's article-space. Remember that once completed, all participants will receive an official Nukapedia badge of recognition to showcase on their profile, so get to work!
2. /d users will already be familiar with the Trending Today community feature, detailing events around the Discussions section of Nukapedia. TT is now making an appearance on the wiki itself, providing an archive of all prior and current releases! Make sure to check em out and show your support.
3. BrandonFox, a wiki old-timer and pollmaster, has returned to give us an additional - Saturday Polls! Show him some love, as we are all very glad to have him back as a part of our community.
4. A new-comer on the news-scene, user Extrinitus has decided to bring Nukapedia The News After the Nuke. His latest edition can be found here.

1. For those of you that haven't already ready my Hollow Knight review, Hollow Knight is a dystopian Metroidvania game that puts you in the shoes of a character only known as 'The Knight.' The game's latest and last DLC, however, is essentially an entirely new game in and of itself, putting you in the shoes of another prominent character in the game, Hornet. The DLC is called Silksong, and a reveal trailor has now been released.
2. For those of you living under a rock, ActiVision recently laid off 8% of the staff over in Blizzard, even though the company has reported exceedingly high profits and innovations within its field. While they have been confirmed to be working on more minor titles, such as the highly-anticipated re-make of the Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, the company has declared there there are no major I.P.s currently in the works for the year 2019.
3. Square Enix has begun an ad-based anti-bullying campaign called “Because of You,” that uses prominent characters from Kingdom Hearts III, to help teach teens that their actions have long-lasting consequences.

Being such a popular franchise across all varieties of age-groups, both Square Enix and the Ad Council agree that Kingdom Hearts will be a perfect vessel for spreading such an empathetic message to those that still have a lot of growing to do in their social settings.

1. The National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers is an game ceremony that has released its list of nominees for 59 awards categories: God of War, Celeste, Red Dead Redemption 2, Spider-Man, Monster Hunter: World, Subnautica, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are all up for NAVGTR’s Game of the Year award. God of War is currently leading with 22 nominations, with Spider-Man closely following behind with 21 nominations.

The ceremony will be held on March 13th, and a list of nominees can be found here.

Thank you for reading everyone, and we hope you enjoyed our 10th edition of the SNM Sentinel, and we will be looking forward to seeing y'all next Friday!
