>Can any of these pieces at least be meted out a bit more?
Yes, of course. I should have clarified that the entire list is tasks done by the editors (plural), provided of course that there are multiple editors to begin with.
>Is there a common workspace between editors? Or are you doing this all locally and then posting here?
Each editor works locally on some article(s) then posts the edited SLA file(s) either in this thread or on qTox. Steps 5.2 and 6 are indeed done by a single editor, but not necessarily the same editor every time.
>At the very least, is there a running list of the current SLA files in the current issue in a post-chain maybe?
The easiest way to trace which SLA files were posted when is to check the archived threads in the OP; find the post with the last issue published (in this case #9) and search for URLs posted since then. I already have all the files downloaded, I just need to prune old versions of articles.
>I guess I could try to open up another person's SLA files?
Yes, that would be a simple task with a great deal of usefulness. Different anons opening a submitted SLA file and reporting missing images/fonts ASAP would greatly streamline the editing process.
>I could maybe help look over someone else's articles at least?
If you can, sure. Quick proofreading and pointing out grammatical/spelling errors is something any anon can do to help with the editing load.
>How do you do this? Do you have different VMs or machines?
I usually just increase/decrease the font size by a small fraction until it looks right, then I call it a day. I have no idea why this is a bug in Scribus in the first place, and I don't currently have the time to investigate or report it.
>I don't know what this is. Are the margins/something different on the left v. right?
Scribus basically "tags" a page as left or right so it gets displayed properly in PDF viewers. Sometimes an anon works on an article and incorrectly tags his pages as all left or all right --something that the OP template aims to prevent-- so the editor(s) have to re-tag the pages. This issue isn't revealed until you actually export a PDF from Scribus.

Is there even enough material for issue 10?
Or does it need more?

>>310485
I think there's enough material by now, but if you wanna submit some more then go ahead.

I'm pretty sure the question was how to get the game files from Steam without using the official client, and afaik the answer to that is that you can't. You have to either create an account and "subscribe" to the demo/game like any other or use SteamCMD which is basically a headless Steam client. The latter supports anonymous login but I have no idea if it works for anything other than dedicated servers when in anonymous mode.

>>310549

or SteamCMD
or SteamLite

You can login as anonymous and download certain free games, or just make a throwaway account if you can't.

Does anyone have a list of all the studios that are dropping like flies this recently?

>>310624
I wish I did, I did just hear that Ubisoft Winnipeg shut down recently.

>>310549
If you have a modicum of piratefag experience, then just use csdotrin. It has clean steam files for most games you can find.
>>310553
That's a steam emulator to make your games LAN and bypass the shitty DRM, and a good companion to the above.

All that pretty art and it's designed to not let you smell the roses? Thanks for the headache; I did not get halfway through it.
>wonder if any Oculus Quest games are top selling
>one might have gotten vr of the year but lost, Blade & Sorcery 
>steam's top selling list includes lots of old shit like Silent Hill 
>Oculus has gay ass RE4 and other easy to sell stuff like Mario and Myst 
Creativly bankrupt. Three Vader Gaymes, oh tHaT'z sO coOl! >_> 
Why is Myst on the Oculus when sideloading games is also on the Oculus, Sidequest? Why RE4? Maybe if they namned shit better like Blade & Sorcery... Swords and Wizards sounds better imo. People played Wizards and Warriors because of the name.  Blade and Sorcery sounds so meh. It having two different gaming modes is evidence of it lacking vision anyway. I only bought it because a coworker said it works offline and he let me try it on and thus I felt like I had the flu but bought it anyway. I should go play the work simulator or something, oy vey oy vey, wii sports all over again. Damned governments! VR should be designed for people to sit and lay down like in Hack.sign, they should pay you for playing a VR job sim, smdh. It could happen too if we end up controlling robot bodies, like a 3d avatar. Back to real

>>310410
> Does this mod take place in the Fallout universe and if so, what year?
Yes, in 2291 within the (former) state of Texas. They used an excellent Western (classic) Brotherhood appearance set for the power armor. The classic Combat Armor made a return too. There's a G36C (labeled as G36), but then I remembered the original Fallout 1 and 2 had experimental H&K weapons in it, so nothing felt out of place after thinking it over. As mentioned before too, a lot of clearly canon-breaking stuff were removed. 

As a final note, there's a .50 Sniper Rifle somewhere in the game and likely an auto-shotgun, but I could never find either one. Maybe you'll have more luck than me, as the former was especially badly desired.

>Might give it a go, might see if I can rebalance this mod too maybe.
You may have to reinstall your Script Extender. I may have left on a flag about tags, which the creator says to leave unchecked. This may have broken some of the dialogue trees, plus lead to the CHA bug, as no one else spoke of the latter. This combined with the really hard battle maps not being returnable were the only things that were really troublesome in terms of balance; as much as I loathe melee characters, my MC was one and the maps are well designed to offer a variety of approaches.

>>310410
I forgot to add, that I fixed the Special Encounter rate issue with the original game if you were wanting a solution (no more 100% Outdoorsman required). Only one solution worked after I installed every fix patch and balance mod under the sun. Install cnc-ddraw and set it to: Fix bad performance and sound issues, Fix invisible videos / UI elements, limit Game Speed to 30 ticks (but I keep mine on 60 for manageable farming), Enable VSync, and Borderless.

Also, install this on top of any mods:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/patch-for-fallout-tactics-ft-light-fix
(This may break your vehicle map edits, as it's an all-in-one fix for countless bugs in the game).

>>310419
I actually don't mind this mechanic, it FORCES players to either get into countless pointless fights(or run away from them, either way wasting time) or to have at least one squad member who has that skill at 100%, as soon as possible. Otherwise, the skill is useless, but now survivalist characters have a purpose in my game. I like to think that this gives MidWest a bit of flavor, with how completely fucked up it's random encounters are, kind of like Capital Wasteland in Fallout 3 is also a complete and utter warzone everywhere you go with barely any successful societies or farms.

>>310432
Joke's on you, I do 100% Outdoorsman anyways out of autistic obsession for getting those special encounters as early as possible / grinding for my build. In all seriousness, 60 ticks is probably the compromise you'll like.

This Tactics run has been god awful since I hit Peoria with the fan patches after smooth sailing until now. All of the turrets work, and there's no easy way to cheese them to get the 100% Tribal survival objective. Forgot how tedious this mission is, but it's on another level now with the fully working scripts, no ability to overdose the turrets, and no way to steal their ammo. I've had to restart it three times now with bad luck.

You've probably already played them before, but I highly recommend Wasteland 2 and 3 by the original Fallout developers. If you haven't or it's been a long time, play the Director's Cut + Fan Patch from Mod DB for 2.

>>310448
I know about Wasteland 2/3 and they are near the top of my backlog. Sadly, not enough time to try them out, but I definitely will one day.

BTW Peoria is pretty easy in turn based mode: leave one person behind by the switch, and then when their turn comes up, just flip the switch(turn it back off when their turn comes up again). You will have to stay in turn based mode for the rest of the mission until your squadmates reunite, but it's a small price to pay for completing the bonus objective.

>>310435

Fuck "meaningful connections", you've probably got more applicable knowledge of vehicular combat than most chairwarmers in Western militaries today; use it for profit in the next upcoming Finno-Korean Hyperwar. Unironically "a good rank in World of Tanks" should be something you can put on a CV for military purposes for a 6 figure salary.

No, that's Warthunder. World of Tanks is a very arcadey game where the tonks have health bars and the crew can repair broken tracks without even leaving the vehicle. Also, WoT only covers vehicles from the 1930s to the 1950s. meanwhile Warthunder has everything from ww2 to vehicles that barely entered service.

It actually has a nice bit of single player content but you'll probably struggle with post game stuff. People really like the story and presentation in that game so you should give it a go.

>>298507
I could never get into phone controllers. I like having something that fits in my pocket naturally. Chinkhelds are probably the closest physical successors to the Vita but you can't phsyically recreate a SOVL. And that's ignoring the build quality issues or personal prefence stuff like the fact that they tend to put the d-pad on the bottom. The closest spiritual successors to the Vita may be the switch with its library.

I get your point, and fair enough. If you're like me and prefer portables mostly as a way to play comfortably at home, in bed for example, or have something you can take with you in a bad easily when traveling out of town for a few days, it's just great to have. I have a BSP D6 whose color sheme reminds me of the PSX, I bought a cheap Switch case for it.

Why the hell is this so hard? It feels like you are meant to grind minigames and cheese them by pausing to get perfect score each time or else you never have enough skills to win auditions

>>309696
Okay, I figured out how to play those auditions. Apparently you supposed to just mash buttons to bpm of the song without really thinking or matching dancing/vocals/visuals with whatever is going on, I was thinking too deeply of it... when you literally mash you always hit on time and get massive points
