ME: THEY PUT SCORPIA IN MY PHONE. ๐
@zigg ๐๐๐
@zigg Wait. Is it actually the Scorpia voice actor???
@benhamill Iโd be surprised. But it reminds me of the character ๐
@benhamill Of course, I mixed up the words, but, compare: https://youtu.be/VfkqpZ7xOwE?t=68
@zigg Prettttty great.
@zigg I donโt have it yet?
@z It's in the public beta, which I've had a bit of grief with wrt my watch and battery life so I don't recommend jumping on. The final release shouldn't be too far off.
Comparison time! Here's the original video clip of Scorpia.
