@Tsaukpaetra This might be more ambitious than you're trying for, but this video might be helpful:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip-qANnA0JsAlso, if you make a Patreon or GoFundMe or something, I (and possibly others) would throw some money into helping you to get proper recording gear.
Yeah. I know how to edit, just, it was literally a "Lets try a feature we've never used because why not".
First things I would have done is split the game audio and mic. Then a better mic, then better environment, then actual calibration (I literally just did a minute-long recording just to make sure the mic actually worked at all and to set the base level), then an actual gaming rig (because it must be pretty cringey to watch the game at 10-15 fps), and then maybe actual non-free video-editing software.
Oh, and time. I did this for 8 hours instead of job searching, so . Would that I had time, I would have definitely put more effort into the production, but as it is it's already taken too long to reliably upload this crap to YouTube.

The video goes over some really snazzy effects. Most pro LPers have intros and end slates, that sort of thing. Of course, they also generate enough revenue to have dedicated editing staff.
Again, probably a tad more ambitious than you're going for. Still, it's an interesting and informative video.

Status: given up working any more today. The shit I committed to for tomorrow's demo is done, I am too tired now to worry about if the other people who are working this weekend also finish their stuff.
Overtime pay will be going towards a new laptop because Tarir, the Forgotten City is beautiful. It's just not beautiful in 1024x748 at maybe 20 FPS on almost-lowest detail settings on a 1920x1200 laptop.

@Polygeekery Is it Shed of the Year material?

Not even close. I needed a place to store garden stuff. Not a place to be an architectural wonder. :)

@ben_lubar Real ones aren't that large. They actually range from about the size of a desktop PC up to the size of a large-ish desk, depending on exactly what they're doing, e.g., how big are the magnets, how accurate are the measurements, what sort of input system (scanning ion, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography) is being used. They're cool, but not in a “put inside a mountain in the desert” sort of way; the place isn't an optics lab, after all! A proper optics lab probably is underground (or at least in a deep cellar) since it tends to need to be built somewhere without lots of heavy traffic and directly onto bedrock to avoid vibration.

@Tsaukpaetra it bluescreens quite often, but I've heard that if that happens with Windows then I need to throw out my computer and buy a new one :/

@Lorne-Kates hey, I know it may be hard to believe, but I used to be a little kid back then.

My son was looking at the screen and asked me, 'Daddy, what's viteff?' He meant WTF.
I'm a big believer in refusing to talk down to him so I told him what it meant. His reaction makes me feel I'm going to be getting a phone call from school tomorrow...

@Tsaukpaetra Yeah, this morning he mentionbombed me on slack, which I had been up late chatting with people on using my tablet. Slack's mobile app dings when you're mentioned; I can ignore a small number of dings from my tablet, but not that many. Fucker woke me up and I promised him there'd be a reckoning :)

@Tsaukpaetra My phone's set up to mute overnight, or it'd have been double dings, but the tablet lives far away from my bed so I never set it up that way...

Is there any alternativa to wooden furniture less prone to catch fire?
Feeling uneasy with all these lithium batteries around here.

Just go Amish, and rid yourself of all your technological evils. And then there won't be any lithium batteries to enfire your wooden furniture.

How about putting it in metalic container such as biscuit can?
Btw, lithium batteries fire can be hard to put out. I read yesterday that only fire extinguisher with copper powder should be used to put out the fire. IN ANY CASE, DO NOT USE WATER OVER IT.

Took my dogs to the vet yesterday. They had an adorable little 5 month old black kitten for adoption in the office. The kitten was very playful. Kitten would rather play than be petted. Kitten has very fast reflexes. I has blood. I has less blood than I had before kitten played with my fingers.

Only positive sexism, though. And it has to be sincere.

@Tsaukpaetra It would also be like that in Windows, just that the Windows event log subsystem is smart enough that, if it see similar consecutive message populated at once, it'll replace subsequent message with a throttle message saying some redundant message will temporarily be skipped.

I have that problem on the old phone that runs Jellybean, but the new one that runs Marshmallow (not got the Nougat update yet) seems to not have that sort of silly thing.

Yes, what alternative non flammable materials exist for furniture on the market?

That's an interesting line of thought, but I'm not sure the heat in the biscuit can wouldn't be able to ignite the furniture under it.

Increasingly annoyed at Skype's echo test. Why the fuck do I need to waste 30+ seconds just to check if my audio setup works? A simple screen where you can talk into the mic and hear your voice would be so much better.
