Alright everyone, I'm going to be brief this week as I wrote this edition of the Community Spotlight while promoting the site's Extra Life 2020 efforts this weekend. Just be aware, for those of you reading this AFTER Extra Life is over that you can still donate to the site's and community member's Extra Life pages until the end of the year, December 31st. Likewise, be aware that a lot of staff members and users will not be able to stream during November 7th and 8th and will need YOUR SUPPORT during the weeks after Extra Life ends! Finally, at the time of this writing, there were still 47 members of Giant Bomb's Extra Life team that still had not received their first donation and were still sitting at $0 raised! Please, from the bottom of my heart, consider donating $1 to $5 to these accounts. You have no idea how much of a morale boosting it can be to get your first donation after hours of streaming. It seriously means a lot. With that aside, let's jump into the housekeeping items from the week!
- @marino has made some major edits to our guide on how to submit release information to the Wiki. Please review thsi guide before submitting a new release to the database.
- The image uploader has been updated. If you experience any issues, please, file a bug report.
