Good morning Beehaw it is currently 5:30 am in the morning here in Australia Nov 9 2024.
It may not be morning where you are but it is always morning somewhere on Earth. Plus this chat is more of a vibe.
Have you been doing any hobbies lately or discovered a new tv show? Maybe you worked on something and want to share it or you recently found something you are passionate about?
I’ve been spending a lot more time outdoors, which is good for me. I’ve added a new hobby which, also, is good for me -> adult coloring.
Nice coloring sounds relaxing.
It is. I just turn on a podcast and start coloring.
Ohh the videogame Power wash simulator is my version of this lol.
I have only seen clips of it but power wash simulator does look like a satisfying game to play.
Yeah, it’s the perfect podcast game. Good for just turning your brain off for a while!
I misread that as you were going to turn coloring into a podcast. A video podcast of just someone coloring sounds like a good idea to be honest.
I’ve been making YouTube videos/streaming in my spare time for the past year.
I feel like most of my stuff is not great, but I’ve been trying to take the approach of “doing anything is better than being a perfectionist and doing nothing”. So that’s been pretty fun. It’s cool when you do make something and can look back and say “I like that one!”
Nice my advice with youtube/streaming is just do what you enjoy as long as you like what you are doing. It is better to be passionate than to be a slave to the algorithm.
That makes sense! I feel like I’m always a bit caught in a catch 22 because I get that sweet, sweet dopamine hit when a video does well lol.
But yeah for the most part I’m just doing what I want to, and it’s sometimes working out and sometimes not.
For a while in September, I was on track to hit 2k subscribers in a year, and then suddenly I fell off. The algorithm/viewer are a mysterious beast haha. So I’ll keep going as long as I’m having fun
Understandable I think I am at 300 though I don’t let a number dictate what content I make. I actually have rules I have set for myself when making videos. Rule 1 do not ask for people to like or subscribe let them decide for themselves. Rule 2 If I got bored in the middle of making a video and decide its not worth it I will just not do the video since I only like working on stuff I enjoy regardless of the algorithm. Rule 3 is no video 10 minutes or over which was to prevent mid-roll ads though I found out recently its actually 8 minutes before they do those. So I have 1 or two videos at around 8 to 9 mins before I knew that. I actually was recording a minecraft video that was speed up of me just playing it. But I deleted it before uploading it because I realized it was kind of boring especially since I don’t speak in my videos so it would just be random minecraft gameplay.
Btw I forgot to ask what is your channel?
It’s https://youtube.com/@forestkanagawa?si=WuSFwnLbC2Nw86cD
Nothing too exciting. Mostly, just live streaming and gaming
I watched the series Interview with a Vampire. It has a nice gay relationship in it and it’s pretty well written.
Interesting I haven’t heard of that before. Does the person giving the interview ask what the vampire thinks about Garlic? Not sure how they are portrayed in this so for all I know they might like Garlic.
Yeah I can recommend it and it’s just two seasons so it’s doable.
Regarding the garlic, well, it doesn’t bother them one bit. But they don’t like to eat it because all human food tastes like soap or paper, they only like blood.
However there are people using garlic and crosses against vampires out of superstition. And some vampires seemed to be afraid of crosses, but only because of superstition on their own side.
I recently started watching Star Trek and have finished every series other than TOS (and Prodigy).
I had been putting TOS off since it initially seemed pretty cheesy so I had planned to skip it entirely. After finishing everything else, though, I decided to give it another try.
Now I’m about two thirds of the way through, and I’ve actually found it quite enjoyable. Also Bill Shatner is a better actor than I gave him credit for. I had always expected a very hammy performance based off the way people talk about him; but considering he was being watched on like a 12 inch screen, I would say his acting was actually rather subtle.
Also the practical effects look surprisingly good. It really goes to show how much better they can age. There are some shots of the ship('s model) that look comparable to modern CGI in my opinion.
I would not say TOS is my favorite Star Trek series so far, but I would put it in the top 5 for sure.
Nice I never got into Star Trek but I have heard it is pretty interesting.
I highly recommend it. I think it gets a specific negative geeky reputation associated with it, but I found that reputation to be unfounded.
For most Star Trek series, it is a very forward thinking show that deals with a wide array of morality topics. Even cinematography/ effects wise, pretty much all of them other than TOS feel very modern.
I don’t think I could recommend a good way to get into it, but I will say I started with Lower Decks, and the obvious love the writers had for the franchise encouraged me to look at the more traditional series as well.
