I think that's distant enough, lots of photography answers in this thread. So you'd make the gear or use it?

I've been making videos about how to use different kinds of cameras and streaming gear. It's a nice break from the tech world even if there's still some tech aspect to it.

I 100% went to bed thinking that today was going to be Monday. I was ready - clicked on the video call for the first meeting and waited 4 minutes before realizing that it’s Sunday.
It finally got me. Lol.

When you compose the thumbnail but forget you set your camera to 4:3 for some family pictures...and you remember right when you sit down and import everything into photoshop. 😭

I’ve definitely had to “content-aware fill” some photos because of that 🤦‍♂️

We had to remove this sort of token for a messaging app. People kept using it in production apps, and distributing it. Oh, hey, I can impersonate you through the api now!

Emerson, my 11 year old, is on a bit of a wild ride with the @USPS and our local mail carrier, Doug.

And, I think there’s a deeper message to it all.

First, the backstory...

Ugh, I know that I'll feel a million times better if I go exercise, but that would mean being responsible rather than laying here scrolling the sadness rectangle.

Does anyone have a list of card games where the mechanics allow it to be played remotely? Not online games tho, games that use real physical cards, where it doesn't matter that the players will be drawing from separate decks.

@aaronpk I used to play Yugioh over chat client where everyone played their cards physically in real life and put in chat their plays, but that requires a considerable degree of trust that no one’s cheating. With friends, though, perfectly possible, especially if you’re playing caveman Yugioh (or synchro era or earlier in general really.)

Blackjack would work. Casinos use multiple decks. Granted they’re mixed up but it shouldn’t matter.

BoardGameGeek has a pretty comprehensive Distance Gaming guide, that includes physical games played over videoconferencing. It also lists free websites with online adaptations of games. http://Boardgamearena.com is my favorite of them. https://boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/Distance_Gaming_Guide#toc5

@aaronpk I don't have a list, but Goofspiel would work fine, so long as you could see both people's faces and what cards they played.

I want to know the answer to this. Would love to have some games I could play with friends over video chat that aren’t digital. Remote analog games pls.

I’m sensing a lack of understanding on how to color grade now days with LUTs being all the rage. Learning to color grade is so important!

If you’re starting out... I wanna encourage you to watch tutorials and learn how to use the built in tools in your NLE to color correct.

My dad is an ICU doctor treating COVID-19 patients. In the past WEEK he has set more “I’ve never seen a heart rate/RBC count/etc. like this” records than in his decades-long career. What this virus does to the body is like “sticking your finger in an electric socket.” Stay home.
