I tried syncing Independence Day by burning the RiffTrax to a CD and playing it on the stereo while the DVD was playing on the TV, and I couldn't get it synced, and only made it worse by trying to pause one to let the other catch up.

Then they have a robot voice copy a few of the first lines as a test that you're synced. They used to have a player that synced it automatically on computer but that seems to have fallen by the wayside.

I enjoy when a creator goes behind the curtain or breaks down their thought process/editing methods/mentality on their channel. Alpharad has been pretty good about this, he occasionally puts out videos answering all sorts of questions as well as just "hey let's get real for a minute here, gonna turn off the Hey It's Alpharad Welcome To My Channel voice" videos. It's been fascinating watching him absolutely skyrocket in popularity and how he's handled it. imo fairly well all things considered, but it's also clearly getting to him in some ways. He made a video playing through Super Mario 2, and I watched it and thought "this seems incredibly over-edited and hyperactive almost for the sake of it". His videos tend to have jump edits fairly often, but generally not THAT often. He also seemed a bit too..."on". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxYX2_j9nMw&hd=1 but then he puts out this video where he talks about how his depression manifests and how he expunges it through his video content, be it the hyper editing like the mario 2 video, or scripting stuff for other videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwxqWIudSn0&hd=1 I like when a youtuber is willing to just sit down and talk about "the process" and their mindset during it rather than keep the facade up at all times. And also I like when youtubers flat out state like, to think of them as an entertainer and not as a friend, because that leads to an ugly mindset that unfortunately some content creators abuse for profit, and is a statement a depressing amount of people need to hear

the less I think about pewdiepie the better dude is a gateway for nazi indoctrination meanwhile alpharad is like "hey wow I have a huge following and even my jokes on public twitter can have massive ramifications if they're directed at anyone since my words can send swarms of people at things, I should really remember the power I wield!" like a normal loving human being though maybe this thread wouldn't be nearly as active if more content creators were so self-aware and considerate of others.

Pewdiepie is probably a bigger presence in their lives than most people, and they love him. Also maybe your younger relatives are being raised in a racist home or a white supremacist national culture (only sure about one of these).

mother's basement talks at length about the best harem romcom in a good long while, Bakarina(or the less great name, "My Next Life As a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!"). A tale in which a girl, in typical isekai fashion, dies tragically and reincarnates in the body of someone in another world, in this case the childhood body of her favorite dating game's antagonist who dies or gets exiled in every single ending. Knowing this, she tries everything she can throughout her childhood to avoid her fate and prepare for it if it still happens, and in doing so manages to steal the hearts of every single male or female character from the original game, the protagonist, her cohorts, the main love interests, everyone. And it actually works, because she's too stupid to realize they love her but also too lovable for them to be offended by her obliviousness to their interest in her. he also goes on about how Bakarina does the harem concept right, while so, so, so so so so so so many have done it wrong, which is nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rekj5TqbmM&hd=1 the entirety of the first major arc which the manga has covered at this point is great and cute and funny and all that, but I hear past that the light novel kinda treads water to force a continuation of the story due to the incredible success of the series, which is unfortunate but understandable.

Does anyone know if there are any video series that explain basic principles of CGI effects for film, I often here about all sorts of concepts and sometimes watch stuff like corridor crew videos where they go into what works and what doesn't etc, but was looking for something that more explains key terms etc and the workflow process etc. It's not for any practical learning, I have no intention of creating anything, just for curiosity and interest.

I genuinely think the first Voyager character people would admit to liking was Seven of Nine. That show is kind of a wasteland of unused potential and badly underwritten characters and not unlike Enterprise even when it 'got good' it was really just 'kinda okay for Star Trek.' They recycled a lot of Next Generation scripts and it shows in stuff like the Kaizon being 'what if Klingons but kinda low tech.' Naturally as a GIRL talked about Star Trek, people had a normal one. https://twitter.com/AllisonPregler/status/1261872549169897475

Yeah the Doctor was my favorite, I also liked Harry Kim for some inexplicable reason I was never that big of a fan of Seven of Nine, mostly because it felt like she was only there for sex-appeal, I know she had other qualities but her ridiculous jump-suit among other things kind of ruins her character for me.

I liked Neelix. In my defence I was nine and didn’t have the mental maturity to recognize the creepy, abusive relationship he had with the child-woman, and I had awful taste.

The core concept of Janeway as a more emotional and compassionate leader was always a little problematic because it was the classic 'well of course a LADY captain would be like that' but it was an interesting take compared to Picard's diplomatic pragmatism and Kirk's space cowboy act to have a captain more based around protecting her crew and far away from Starfleet command's standards and all allowing her to be more emotion based than otherwise. It's just the writers didn't know what any of that meant and half the time it was just 'bitches be crazy, but in space'

It's more that the first two LNs tell a very solid overall story. Book 2 works very well as a proper ending (where it looks like the anime will end) but as you say they continued. It's not all bad news though. Books 3 and 4 stumble a bit (though the MCs antics remain great) but things do get back on track after that. I do hope the author has an ending in mind and doesn't stretch it out TOO much but at the same time they don't seem forced to take the same breakneck release schedule as a lot of light novels do.
