Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best community-created works from the previous week. This time we have an incredibly well-rounded edition of the Spotlight that has a little bit of everything while people get excited for Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and Atomic Heart.
However, many of you are still having issues with the new video player as well as the video encoder. As mentioned last week, the embiggen and fit to window options are in the works, but we don't have an ETA at the moment. The design and bug team are working with the tickets that Rorie is filing on your behalf, so, continue sharing your issues with the video player and the current API.
On a related note, timestamps on podcasts and videos on YouTube are rolling out slower than expected and this is not due to Giant Bomb no longer valuing timestamps. This week, Jan, who does most of the timestamps, had things that ate into the worktime he normally uses to make those.
Also, Dylan Host, the Community Manager of Safety for Fandom’s Community Safety team wants to introduce himself! What's his job and when should you contact him? Drop a comment! The Moderation team on Giant Bomb recently had a virtual meeting with him, and we can confirm he's excited to make Giant Bomb safer, better, and more fun. With all of that in mind, let's jump into the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight!

Over on Twitter, Duct Sauce, who has made some fun Giant Bomb fan art before, has taken a quick comment from an episode of Game Mess and turned it into a fun Zelda x wrestling joke. If you don't get it, just ask.
