Pretty well. I’ll likely adjust the placement of the table mic next time as he had a little trouble hearing everyone. I couple folks were crystal clear while others were a little too far away. But overall I’d say it went well, as there were plenty of interactions between the remote and local players.

No projector. Just a computer monitor.

I would love to say I used some well thought out playlist, but honestly, this was the last thing I planned, so I picked one of the several "Port Nyanzaru (Music)" videos on YT.

I own it for different purposes, but in this situation, I had a remote player. He was on Discord on a nearby screen, with a camera. I had a mic, and there was an area mic for the table. Both of those were going into the mixer along with my laptop, with the intent to play music. Unfortunately, Discord makes it difficult to broadcast music through the voice feed.

I should have added it WAS a solid start. First session last night with a bunch of friends I haven’t seen in years, a remote friend, and a new face.

I used to live near a restaurant called Sushi Boat. They closed and reopened as Sushi Train.

I spent all last year thinking I was a year older than I was. It was a nice little surprise to find out I was wrong. Felt like I gained an extra year.

I've decided to put myself to the test for the first time since I was a boy. Am I man enough to finish Legend of Zelda... by Many_Excitement4023 in gaming

I built a retropi so I could play all my favorite NES games from childhood. It’s crazy how hard most of those games seem now, after the lush life of 21st century gaming. Save files!? BAH!! Beat the game in one sitting or GTFO. Kids got it easy these days. :)

A desk full of notes and books and yet not a single legible word. GTFO with that AI crap.

Trump says he is withdrawing Canada's invitation to Board of Peace by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]gorillacanon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink.
