@FCB_BANTY @maximum Massive layoffs. Entire teams were gutted and several projects in-progress were canceled.

@maximum Someone explain pls what happend ?

Hope everyone at blizzard gets through today, brutal news. Tough week for gaming.

@mrlevine I don't know if your team was involved with helping give the guys at Savage Geese access to the Mustang team. But if they were... thank you. Really great video came out as a result. youtube.com/watch?v=0m-ZUC…

@maximum @Stoopzz_TV Personally waiting for the RODECaster Duo. Slightly smaller version. I think it officially launched sometime in June, but stock hasn’t quite hit America yet from what I can tell. Pro II is awesome though, just don’t need that much capability, and too much junk on desk already.

@Stoopzz_TV This is clutch

Any audio interface recommendations that has enough clean gain to not need a cloud lifter on a SM7B?

@ryanhanrahan Really puts into perspective the air quality around the world. Our AQI is hovering around 120-150 right now. When you realize that’s pretty close to the norm in cities like Dhaka, Bangladesh and other parts of world… wow, crazy how much for granted we normally take air quality.

This is unbelievable.

@ryanhanrahan Won’t lie… I almost expect @SeanOnTV to sneak up behind @ryanhanrahan on air today to give us the latest smoke forecast. This is bringing up strong memories of living in Arizona and watching Sean on KPNX during wildfire season.

Wild to see the wildfire smoke reduce visibility like this. The Air Quality Index in Hartford has now exceeded 200 (very unhealthy) and the visibility has dropped to 2.5 miles!

@mrlevine Got something for you to poke at today. Bronco owners—myself included—got a mass email saying "we're brining a new version of Sync 4A to the Bronco!" Except, I thought Sync 4A was the vertical screen, which the Bronco doesnt have. I assume that email was an "oopsie"?

@GibbyZaman @dshandy96 @mrlevine Ah… gotcha. Order banks opened last Friday, and dealers can submit orders now. Betcha they are just saying they can’t place Ranger Raptor orders because they’ve already sold their allocation to someone else.

@RagnarKon @dshandy96 @mrlevine What he’s saying is, there are dealers that are saying their orders never opened in the first place- even for that one stock allocation. I sent a deposit and my dealer is saying they never ordered any and should get allocations “soon”. It’s a bit confusing

@dshandy96 @mrlevine Your best bet is to find a dealer that has a wait list, so once they get an allocation they can place your order. Or find a dealer that hasn’t sold their allocation yet. But since most dealers only got one so far and it’s a brand new vehicle… expect markups.

@dshandy96 @mrlevine You can’t really place an order for a Ranger Raptor (or any other Ford Performance vehicle). Dealers get allocations for Ranger Raptors, and after they get an allocation you can order one. Most dealers have only gotten a single allocation so for… so you may be waiting awhile.

@jffxns @mrlevine @GrantAJason @barronsonline Perhaps... but I still do the vast majority of my family vacations in my family vehicle. Camping, fishing, boating, etc. And most of those vacations require 4-8 hours of driving to get to the destination. Granted my vehicle is no where near $73,000—but that's kind of the point.

@RagnarKon @mrlevine @GrantAJason @barronsonline I hope you appreciate just how rapidly the "family of three with dogs who tow a camper with a $70,000+ truck on the way to our vacation" thing is fading, Bryan. That's the most niche thing I have literally ever heard.

@GameFly I will shower you with Bonus Points if you guys come up with a clever way for me to import my @dvdnetflix queue into GameFly's queue. Can't guarantee those bonus points will be worth anything... but, you will absolutely get my $13.95/mo. So that's something I guess?

@mrlevine Well… those Explorer sales don’t bode well for my desire to find some way to convince Ford to bring the Everest to the North American market.

@Jward35 @mrlevine @FordPro @Rgarcha21 @FordNewsEurope Curious to see how many of these trims/options will come to the North American market. Ford was a bit stingy on the options last gen for those of us in NA. Makes sense given the popularity of the F-150 here, but I’ll admit the it caused me not to hold off purchasing a truck.

@ryanhanrahan so… uhh… what’s with this pattern of warm rainy weather followed by sharp drops in temperature?? I know almost nothing about meteorology, but seems to be the pattern this “winter”.

@mathew_poynter @TomAnde32968105 @mrlevine @DougDeMuro It's hard to argue with Ford on it, I LOVED the Focus, bought 4 cars from the Focus/Escort/Pinto lineage. But when you see they replaced the Focus with the Bronco... eh... it makes sense. Same with the Fusion. Bronco Sport and especially the Maverick have been home runs.

@TomAnde32968105 @mrlevine @DougDeMuro Right. I was a little disappointed Ford killed off the Fusion. They had a great platform there and it did sell well. Also with gas prices being still quite high it would be nice to have more fuel efficient options.

@Fubartoo84 @SKOL_Anderson @mrlevine Probably never. Everest sits roughly in the same market segment as the Explorer. If it was up to me I’d shove the current Explorer in the garbage, and just rebadge the Everest as the Explorer. BUT, Explorer is Ford’s #1 selling SUV so they won’t want to mess with that.

@mrlevine I can relate. I have an irrational attachment to the Pinto/Escort/Focus lineage. I had a ‘91 Mercury Tracer for 22 yrs & 289k mi. Currently have a 2013 Focus. Ford ditched the Focus in NA and now I’m looking at importing from Europe. Makes no sense for a car at that price point.

@buckhecker @firstknightofni @LiquidGuild The timing of the nerf definitely didn’t do any favors for Liquid, but yes… you are correct… Echo was ahead even before the nerfs. Echo is just a lot more efficient with their pulls then Liquid has been the past few races.

@firstknightofni @LiquidGuild Echo was ahead on every phase on the last boss

Raszageth, the Storm-Eater has been slain and the storm has dissipated 🌤️ Thank you to everyone who cheered us on throughout the race. We gave it our all every step of the way 💙 ⚔️ (8/8) M #LiquidRWF

@mrlevine PSA-- Appears one of Ford's suppliers in China is leaking the Bronco roof racks. amazon.com/gp/product/B0B… Same design and everything. May be B-stock, not sure. But frustrating regardless.
