Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes The new office has upgraded from the pigeons we used to have.
Peregrine falcons are an even bigger upgrade over geese rather than pigeons ...
Peregrine falcons are pretty cool, and some do nest on the skyscrapers in downtown Edmonton (not sure about the EPCOR Tower, though.) This is a raven, however.

I'm guessing this'll generate a ton o' replies, so I've started a thread here...
Emily (aka Domino) Taylor pentapod It's a good type of Friday when someone points you to the trove of QA bug videos from Dragon Age Inquisition development and you get to meet "Ser Noodles", aka what QA called the horse before its legs worked properly ... 😆

Ser Noodles! One of my favourite DAI bugs we heard about during production.
(Others include: the time the tiny trebuchets on the War Table were replaced with full-size ones, and the time Vivienne was wearing Morrigan's skin.)

Here's how Dark Horse Comics describes the new three-issue comic:
"Dragon Age: Blue Wraith starts off with the fanatical Qunari seeking to topple the Tevinter mageocracy. Caught in the middle, one powerful young mage’s desperate search for her father brings her face-to-face with a notorious mage hunter—Fenris, the Blue Wraith."
The exact creative team for Dragon Age: Blue Wraith includes writers Nunzio DeFilippis (Dragon Age: Knight Errant, New X-Men) and Christina Weir (Dragon Age: Deception, New X-Men), artist Fernando Heinz Furukawa (Dragon Age: Knight Errant, God Is Dead), and colorist Michael Atiyeh (The Orville: New Beginnings, Halo: Escalation), with covers done by Sachin Teng. In general, these names should be familiar to anyone that's been following along with the most recent set Dragon Age comics.
Dragon Age: Blue Wraith #1 is set to release on January 15, 2020 with the following two issues releasing after that.

Gaider vs. DeFilippis interpretation of Fenris is going to be interesting. Especially knowing that the two haven't conversed about the character.

Mine didn't.
The Qunari attemting to destroy the Tevinter Mageocracy is a good idea for a DA4 RPG. Too bad, though. The only place anyone can find a DA RPG story in the comics.

Well, some of us would appreciate if you can tell us the top five. Btw, I hope none are from DA:I. The "jumping hare" feature was not to my liking.

David Gaider is just...he’s so....I don’t even really know a polite way to put it. Condescending. Patronizing. He never comes off as gracious. It’s so frustrating.
I’m not saying he’s not talented or didn’t do a good job, obviously he has a lot of ownership and history in this world. I think he is a great writer. But I just feel like his response to the Fenris comic is just so discourteous to the new writers.

He's only said that his eyebrows rose three notches I fail to see how's that's 'discourteous' and how his reaction is supposed to imply that he has any issue with new writers or those new writers using his characters in a comic...?

That’s how he’s always come across to me. And I’m not the only one, but I know lots of people disagree with me.

I just interpreted his eyebrow raise as... cautious interest. At this point. It might turn condescending later. lol He can truly be snippy. But right now it seems more of a ".... Hmmm." My emotes were in response to the implication that this comic is news to him and he's like "...Hmmm." about it. Like, are mommy and daddy going to fight? I'm not sure. Right now, attention has been got. But if the comic ends up meeting his approval, then I'm sure it'll be fine. If it doesn't, then he might not comment, or he might be passive aggressive. He'll inevitably be the latter to fans who bug him about it cus he didn't write the thing and has no creative control over it. And, though most won't, there'll be at least one who complains to him about what they didn't like in the comic.
I was writing a post about Gaider's "incredibly nuanced [eyebrow] vocabulary" (which is something he said, google David Gaider twitter eyebrow for... fuuun? times?) and what a single eyebrow raise could mean but then I realized I was actively attempting to read a man who doesn't even work there anymore's eyebrow raise like it mattered at all and stopped.

When you’re right, you’re right. Thanks for the reminder. ♥️
Twitter is truly cutting edge technology for extracting the absolute least charitable interpretation out of any sequence of words.
Not that the twitter community hasn't cultivated that, itself.
I think it’s mostly a design problem. Word limit + retweets means that lots of people see small fragments of conversations with no context about (1) the conversation or (2) the personality/verbal tics of the author.
If, just to pick a random example, they’re someone who often says “super fucking hard for me” with a deep layer of irony (i.e. “it’s actually barely a minor inconvenience, I’m just playing it up for laughs”), people who see a retweet containing that phrase won’t often have that background, and will assume it’s meant seriously. Also, mostly the annoyed people will reply, so the conversation ends up heavily skewed in favor of the uncharitable interpretation.
Unfortunately anger/annoyance is an incredibly viral emotion, so if Twitter wasn’t designed this way, some other platform would have arisen with essentially the same characteristics.
Our ad-supported, click-driven model of the internet sure is great, and has no deep fundamental problems whatsoever.
I fail to see how's that's 'discourteous' and how his reaction is supposed to imply that he has any issue with new writers or those new writers using his characters in a comic...?
