No joke last time I launched team speak was scary lmao. I didn’t have my server anymore so my buddies and I joined a random one. As we were chilling and gaming random people joined in and called us the n word and then left over the course of our session lol definitely felt like a 360 CoD lobby
Considering that the goober on the right is Grummz, and the image on the left is a traditional Japanese illustration of a samurai, I’m going to go with: Yes
An annoying chud who is a game industry vet, with several scandals and mismanaged projects in his wake. Addicted to being an anti-woke Twitter influencer.
Yes, right wing gamer guy has full on panic attack black samurai in AC game because it’d inaccurate. But Black Samurai existed historically and did quite well on top of that complaining about a game being historically accurate when golden apple god bomb exists is wild…
Fun thing I discovered: A lot of DVDs check which region the player is from and play a different warning at the beginning. VHS is analog and linear so that FBI warning is just baked into the video but DVDs can shuffle video on the fly. Fun fact: That’s how they got the theatrical edition and the extended edition on one side of one DVD, if you play the standard edition it just skips the added scenes on the fly.
Way back when I still lived at home, my family had a little game, someone would put in a movie and the first one to guess which movie it was “won.” I could often do it from the previews. DVDs spoiled this with their menus. Well, most of them did. Some of them do just start playing the film (or start at the previews).
I recently ripped my whole DVD collection to my NAS because, well, optical drives are going extinct. And I noticed some patterns. DVDs of contemporary movies from early in the format’s history were often special events. They had specially designed one-off packaging, lots of extra features, extravagant menus, etc. As you went later in the format’s run, packaging became standardized, and especially older pre-DVD movies that were being re-issued on DVD would often just auto-play the movie when inserted. They often had menus that had no animation or music so you could chapter select or toggle the subtitles on but you’d have to stop the movie to see them. Also, TV shows on disc suffered way more from disc rot than movies, I’m guessing the discs themselves were cheaper/worse.
Minor suggestion: Do it in winter. Transcoding video like that is a CPU intensive workload, if you’re going to pump that much heat out of your PC case you might as well want it.
Not so sure the difference ripping a disk would make unless you have a super insulated room, but CPU heat is very much a consideration. Each summer I keep contemplating moving my rack with ~100 cores to the basement only to be dissuaded by the dampness and cable runs.
A lot of things made it a Winter project for me: wanting to assist my furnace rather than fight my air conditioner in the Carolina heat was one thing, also my work slows down a lot in winter, not as many projects to do, so I had plenty of time to mess with it over winter. Plus, in summer I keep my house at 74, in winter I keep it at 70, It’s amazing how much that makes a difference in CPU temperatures.
Are you actually modding conversations you are directly involved in? When I have done modding, that would usually be discouraged as a conflict of interest.
Still hosting TS as the primary place my friends record things because of the audio quality and especially reliability compared to Discord, but not so much for hangouts anymore. Got Mumble in the back pocket in case the licensing goes to crap though
I remember moving to mumble from teams peak because it allowed pretty cool levels of configuration.
Back in the late 00s and early 00s I was doing world of warcraft raiding. I had the server setup to have one key for main raid and another to talk to only officers. Quite useful especially in bigger raids.
Also as I recall for any remotely large ts server you needed to pay. The self hosted one was always gimped. Mumble you could self host with no limits.
For a group our size (we regularly have over 800 people on our mumble, peak is somewhere around the 1.3k mark if I remember correctly), it would also be very cost prohibitive to use TS
Are you rustling a single leaf, for it to be less than a library?
Or does the library have a windy exterior full of trees with rustling leaves, for it to be at 40?
