WTDWTF gets murdered by aliens and it's all Ben Lubar's fault!

@masonwheeler Two names, two persons. Just like how @accalia, @Perverted_Vixen and @Unperverted-Vixen are three persons.

Not certain of course, but I have a reasonably strong feeling that Unperverted is actually a different IRL person. The attitudes expressed, at the very least, are very distinct from the way Accalia thinks, so if they really are the same person they're a pretty good actor.

@masonwheeler Of course they're different. I just said they're different.

It's the spelling that gave it up, isn't it ?

You forgot @unperverted_vixen and @Fox and whoever that fox that liked Dwarf Fortress (or was it lojban) that @Arantor brought to the forums was.

@ben_lubar Wait we have two unperverted vixens?
I did not know.

Did the autocomplete not work?

@ben_lubar I figured it was a nodebb bug with matching both the shortname and the description or something.

There's enough bugs already, don't invent other ones

Wait, you have Yamikuronue and Jane Bailey both on the roster?
they're two different people, why wouldn't they both be on the roster. look they're playing pool in the break room with each other.
That's impossible because Yamikuronue is out on a mission right now and Jane Bailey is in the base.
I attempted to get a screenshot of Jane Bailey in the base, but for some reason, Yamikuronue showed up several times but Jane Bailey never did. Maybe there's some incorrect logic in how it picks who shows up at the base :/

Ok, it looks like the LW2 mod doesn't replace any of the functions in the file responsible for populating the Avenger visually. I wonder if something else it's doing is causing Jane to not show up, or if it's just a coincidence.

Nope, I'm someone different. I had been registered under my real name since the Community Server days, but decided that I wanted to start going incognito in case I ever wanted to post real stuff from work.

Two people registered variants at more-or-less the same time. (I used a Google Account to register, and then found that I couldn't pick the username, which is why it's a hyphen instead of the matching underscore.)

This is an "I see what you did thar" moment

So what is your decision on continuing the videos?
-
@ben_lubar You don't have a flamboyantly gay soldier named @heterodox?
Your loss, I assure you.

My plan is to record a test video on a different save and then see what I need to do with various settings before continuing the LP. I will continue.
-
Ok, videos are scheduled for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday next week.

YouTube is all like
But here's the first 8,000,000 bytes of an upcoming episode:

Notice that you can play the video? Apparently YouTube has a different definition of "streamable" than its own help center has.

@ben_lubar Maybe they want
vp8
orvp9
?Also I am surprised by your pronounciation of your surname, I always though the accent is on the last a: Lubaar :)

They want H.264 according to their own documentation.

@ben_lubar no, Tomcat the hackergirl slash bisexual redneck.
Full disclosure: I thought about adding a SPARK to the character pool named
Blakey-CAT
, but I ended up being too lazy.

It got 50 view in five days, that's gotta amount to something!

Why is the file named "blakey.mp4"?
Also, that was a really fast 29 minutes...

I guess you'll have to wait for episode 8 to find out!

As I said, that's only the first 8 million bytes of the file. Each episode is 2-3 gigabytes.

If I remember correctly the one time i uploaded a video as WebM it was there instantly without preprocessing.
I have no idea how it is now.
Likewise, I have absolutely no faith in their documentation.

No?
Actually if I middle-click View Video from the context menu and choose to "view in browser as server-sent MIME type", it plays perfectly.

Likewise, I have absolutely no faith in their documentation.I think I read somewhere that if you put the contents of an MP4 in a MKV file (which is the same container as WebM) it processes normally, but browsers can't play Matroska, so I can't preview it to make sure it's encoded right.
-
Should I be putting stuff in the video descriptions, like which forum members appear in the video, or should I just be leaving them as the operation name?
Also, I would very much appreciate it if Google Fiber was available in my area, or even any internet connection that takes less than five and a half seconds to upload a single megabyte.
-

I mean, if you like. It's your video, so you choose.
If you do, you can make it as descriptive as you want.
-
@ben_lubar I suppose it would be useful to list people who appear. It would also be useful to list them here (assuming you plan on making a new post each time you upload a new video), because noone reads video descriptions. Not sure if it's useful enough to be worth the extra effort, but if you feel like it
By the way, in case I get picked, can you make me Czech and bald? Pretty please!
-
@blek said in WTDWTF gets murdered by aliens and it's all Ben Lubar's fault!:

No
@blek said in WTDWTF gets murdered by aliens and it's all Ben Lubar's fault!:

ok
-
@ben_lubar Thanks!
(Damn, I only played the first new X-COM when it first came out and I thought Czech Republic was a choice there. Apparently that's not the case. They have Scotland but not us? DISCRIMINATION!)

Watched the first video and have to say I'm disappointed. The title of the thread is completely misleading. Nobody got murdered.
If you want, we can organize an irl forum meet-up and murder each other.

@anonymous234 We tried that before and it ended up with an unbearably long Uno hand.

@blek
TBF, it only went an hour. And got us a cool forum

@ben_lubar Yeah, I noticed you had me on the wrong country (I'm Dutch not British) but figured nodebb may well have a British IP for me.

Since you're using people's handles without their permission, I think it's only fair to mention them here so they can at least be aware of it.
Edit: I think the current format in the two posts above is perfect.
-
I did notice myself in the list of potential candidates for being murdered by aliens, although with my handle split into a first and last name which I found amusing. (Ataz Haia) Well, I suppose that works too! I wonder if I can advance to my IRL military rank of corporal and get the closest equivalent of my IRL military role (specialist) too...

You have a character pool? What a luxury!

One of the alts was me, and one was them. but then i got tired of the joke since the other was much more active, so i gave the other the password for the one i had and deleted it from LastPass.
I assume the other changed the password and associated email address anyway upon receipt.

I didn't look anyone up by IP. I'll fix that next time I'm at my computer.

Ah, I must have missed that one when I went through to remove first names using a combination of sed and xxd. Want me to change it to [no first name] Atazhaia to match the others?
Also, if anyone else wants a specific gender or nationality, ask now before I record more episodes!
