SNM News:
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 Saturday 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.
- Due to some real-life changes, the Sentinel had to undergo a moderate hiatus, and I apologize for that. That being said, the SNM is back, although the Sentinel will now be releasing on Saturdays, rather than Fridays.
- Along with SNM content returning as of this week, the virtual store will also officially be opening as of next weekend, and our Patrons will be able to have the chance to finally spend those credits they've been earning!
- The SNM has been neglecting the /d side of the wiki since its conception, and this is something that we're going to be changing. Expect more inclusivity for /d users over the coming days.
Wiki News
- Administrator -bleep196- has recently posted a discussion forum looking for input regarding the topics of user-rights and community connection. If you're interested in having a part in helping the wiki and its community grow, then make sure to have your say!
- User Dragão Carmesim has also thrown out a discussion forum regarding potential changes for both the chat and wiki sides of Nukapedia.
- User דָּנִיֵּאל brings us a new community blog, detailing strategic deployment of nuclear armaments within the game Fallout: Vault 76, and how to exploit the subsequent radioactive wastes.
- User דָּנִיֵּאל Also brings us another recent community blog for those having difficulty with farming in Fallout: Vault 76. Looking for a few tips on how to make the chore of farming just a tad less tedious? This may just be the blog for you.
- Administrator AllYourFavorites decided to give recognition to the select few users that have shown the dedication and tenacity to be awarded the Saviors of the Damned badge, which is given to editors that contribute to the wiki for 365 consecutive days without interruption.
Geek-culture News
- As reported by workers at Blizzard, pregnant women have been pressured into using an app called Ovia, which tracks pregnancies and acts as a data-mine for organizations who can use this information for analytics. The Washington Post reports that while volunteers for this app are often paid on a daily basis for this data, it can in turn be used to bring down pregnant women's benefits, as well.
- With Microsoft now having to compete with new services such as Google Stadia and Apple Arcade, the company will now soon be bundling Xbox Live and its Game Pass together at a reduced price, from 20 USD to 15 USD a month. What will this mean when Project xCloud becomes available is currently unclear.
- Disney has now unveiled its Disney+ streaming service, which will include classics and new series from: Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and Fox. Expect Disney+ to be open for business on November 12, 2019, starting at 6.99 USD a month.
- The game industry is notorious for over-working, and over-paying the developers who work tirelessly in order to release the games that we've come to know and love over the decades. With the rise of indie studios looking to break the stigma and return creative control to the creative developers, many of them, such as Team Meat, the studio behind the popular Super Meat Boy intellectual property, are being pro-active in their fight to raise awareness by delaying their next game, Super Meat Boy Forever, in order to improve their work conditions, and set realistic expectations.
