### Topics:

## Issues

### Beginner issues:
- https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/884
- Can condense to just loot filter. Auto pickup no longer concern with animations
- https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/1082
- Aweinstock will add more information to the issue, zesterer mentioned that fixing all conversions between f32 and i32 might be an monumental task. See https://discord.com/channels/449602562165833758/534844039007305729/899357365122510868 (saturating would be a good solution)
- https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/986
- Update name/description
- Game no longer crashes, the behavior is complex to fix
- https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/801
- Change name/description
- https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/1184
- Good beginners issue
### Make actionable:
- https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/936
- Not sure what we would even do on our end to resolve this?
- Consensus is that there is no that much that we could do, because finding a suitable location without sanctions is difficult
### Potentially close:
- https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/949
- Wgpu?
- Naming is misleading, wayland has issues but it sort of works
- Consensus is to close this and reopen a more specific one
- https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/849
- Wgpu?
- https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/1087
- Sprites require animation now
- https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/1136
- What did meat branch not cover in this list?
- Slipped will create a more specific issue
