Just a random nerd moment. Inspired by another thread. Not sure if this impacts the plot at all:
Looking at Viktor dump Sky’s ashes, saying “Sorry, I don’t know where you would have wanted this.”
Did I miss a scene where he told *anyone* about her death? Did people just opt not show up to the ‘funeral?’ Or… did he just ‘dispose of a body?’
I imagine people are going to notice she’s not showing up for work. Are people just like “Meh, we lose assistants all the time. Shit happens.”?
Anyone else laughing at how it's being advertised as more accessible to people (Even for beginners, as John Mayer said in one of the advertisment videos), but still has a price of $849?
Why spend $849 on a glorified ugly strat copy, when you could've just bought an even better guitar at that price range. I think people are better off buying a butterscotch tele and a night with Roberta with that $849.
Thoughts though?
Edge of Desire.
Almost all of the fans are either already there or on a plane now. This is a disaster.

Found this old post from him on a forum.
Hey (gear) guys and gals -
I thought it might be fun to post a little something regarding gear, specifically that endless hunt for our guitar tone. It’s as much of an obsession for me as it is for some of you, and I want to share a little of what I’ve learned over the past few years. I read through some of the posts in this part of the forum, and I can’t get over how much of a positive spin you’ve put on the guitar community. It’s has a tendency to be jaded, and I love to see that you’re getting happiness and fulfillment out of it and not frustration.
There are some misconceptions that seem to constantly perpetuate, and I want to try and bust one of them up right now. Oh, and it should be noted throughout that this all applies to my take on tone. If you like heavy metal, you’ll probably disagree with everything I have to say.
Distortion pedals – One thing to keep in mind with distortion – I should say overdrive pedals, so as to distinguish them from fuzz pedals, which is more of an effect unto itself - is that they’re really made to simulate overdriving an amp naturally. Vintage tube amps have a threshold where they break up past a certain volume. A distortion pedal is used to make that ‘break up sound’ happen at lower volumes, which is a reasonable expectation. You can’t turn a ‘65 Deluxe Reverb to ‘8’ in your bedroom without making a lot of people miserable. Stevie Ray Vaughan used an Ibanez Tube Screamer (TS-80 , which in the 1980s was regarded as kind of a cheap pedal. Here’s the misconception; he didn’t really use that much distortion at all. He did when he was going for that Jimi sound, but listen to most any early SRV tune and you won’t hear as much break-up as you might think. I hear people all the time (I even remember hearing myself) who just dime the ‘drive knob’ and think the ‘volume’ is a master knob for it. It’s a concept known as “gain staging” - it has to do with the way that the volume of each part of your signal chain interacts with the next. The ‘volume’ knob of an 808 is the most important. That’s by definition, the overdrive part of it. The “overdrive” should be thought of as the “cheat” knob. Remember this – kicking on distortion should make your guitar louder, not quieter. Quiet sounding loud is just strange. Setting gain staging will make sure that when you kick the pedal on, your guitar signal will get appropriately louder. Again – Stevie Ray used so much less distortion than you can p

There is no reason not to. I don't even know how to defend this opinion, It's so obvious that I think it's on whoever disagrees with it to explain why not.
Lorewise, it fits. Gameplay wise, it fits. Viktor's hopes and dreams wise, it fits.
Hi all,
Sorry if I’m being lazy here - I figured this would be the easiest place of reference for this question. Are you aware of any songs from his discography John Mayer has never played live? Just kind of interested. Thanks!
I really hope Viktor gets an ultimate skin for 2022. Simply for the fact it would work so well with Arcane, and Viktor's slow transformation into a cyborg. Especially when he already has a built in mechanic that would work well with Ultimate transformations [His glorious Evolution passive].
And just being able to see him slowly transform throughout the game would be amazing.

If anyone's interested, I've remastered some of my favorite John Mayer live performances, so I can hear them in my car without having to open YouTube or keep turning the volume knob up for the quiet sessions and down for the loud sessions.
You can listen to and/or download the songs here (there's an .mp3 and .wav file for each song): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10thibyqZXU42ngAYILOuSHM-_ix3dtqV?usp=sharing
If you're curious about how the remastered versions are different from the originals, you can take the 'Human Nature' performance from 2009 at Michael Jackson's memorial as an example. The intro guitar is soo good but also very quiet - I always turn the volume way up and then get totally blasted when the entire band comes in and I have to turn it down. Therefore, the general loudness of the songs are higher while the dynamics are lowered without ruining the musicality of the performances.
Anyway, if you have any performances you would like me to remaster, please leave a link, then I'll do it and add it to the folder for all of us to enjoy! :) (Just make sure it's in okay quality to begin with; I can't make poor quality sound that much better.)
I'm sorry if this has already been posted but I couldn't find it, if so I'll delete it.

But roughly translated:
"It became a scary game to watch and Victor was very shook-up afterwards. He had a lot of tests yesterday (the 12th) and has a heart monitor now for 48 hours to make sure everything is OK. Life really stops when something like this happens and you feel grateful for everything. Very unpleasant, especially when I couldn't reach him like I usually can. It was 15 long minutes before I got hold of someone on the team who updated me. Luckily, everything seems to be okay and we are awaiting the last tests that are being finished tomorrow (today, the 14th). So we just spent the day home and resting. The plan of doing some Christmas baking with our friends got cancelled but we baked by ourselves instead and that was obviously also very cozy."
