Are we thinking of starting Movie/Show nights again? Yeah, most anything should work (if it's hosted online, just need something to pull it from one and send it to another, if it's on your local machine as long as your computer can play it and your internet can handle it, don't know of an easy way to stream DVD or Blu-Ray without copying it to harddrive first and you'd need a beefy internet connection)

 

[Charlet]

Yes and yes

 

[Charlet]

To the fedora

 

[Victorique]

We also have game night

 

[Victorique]

I need to write more cards for CAH

 

[Charlet]

(( in real life I’m wearing a red fedora ))

 

[Jon Eckart]

True... for those who have any games (all I have since the last botched reinstall is Minecraft... lost GTA5, Arkham Asylum and City, the XCom games), but it's kind of fun to watch others play and still be able to chime in

 

[Victorique]

Screensharing overlays over the window you want everyone else to see. It used to be used for office meeting type stuff but someone thought hey this is great for showing people art or having movie night

 

[Victorique]

Twitch has screenshare overlay but the broadcast would be public and idk if twitch would allow or not

 

[Jon Eckart]

Yeah, that's kind of the issue, too... I don't think any of us would cry "copyright violation" if we showed a marathon of Carmen or Ghost In The Shell where only logged in users could see, just like Youtube has an issue if I post a video and there's a song in the background

 

[Victorique]

I log into twitch to see what I can or can't do and the first thing I see is a live stream of the Fortnite blackout

 

[Jon Eckart]

And, don't know if we'd want the entire general public wandering in and spamming the chatroom
