Can someone that understands how this stuff works explain to me why Alanah's chair keeps popping in and out on the green screen?

@RegulesC It's not a green screen. Streaming and video conference softwares are now implementing features that automatically detect and remove the background. They're not perfect yet.

@Astarties oh, cool thanks! I haven't had any reason to use any of them so I didn't know!

@RegulesC Yeah, probably on a swivel and I am sure that as she talks she moves slightly and it is popping in and out because as the user above mentioned not perfect functions.

EEEEEEYYYY IT'S MY BOY WOOLIE MADDEN!! I haven't kept up much after sbfp split since I pretty much exclusively watch group oriented content (so I can live vicariously and pretend like I'm part of a good group of friends lol) but I've always thought that he is a really cool guy. If it wasn't for him I don't know if tbfp/sbfp would have been around for as long as it was, and as a fan since the original machinima videos I'm extremely grateful for all of his work there and seemingly acting as a grounding voice and acting as the glue of the group. Maybe I'm wrong on some of those points but regardless I'm still a big fan of his humor and knowledge of games. Feels like talking with an old friend again. Much love!

@nathanielh95 dont worry, Woolie still does group related content with his friends Reggie and Minh, and many guests for other lets plays. His run-on of Get into Fighting Games also brings in fgc competitors to learn the games for that welcome back feeling

Man, I got some massive chills when you said Life is Strange, Blessing. That game, for me, has been one of the most important videogames in my life. A couple years ago, I accidentally blacked out at a party and ruined a bunch of friendships, so Kate's struggle was especially moving and cathartic because I felt exactly how she felt and I too wanted to hurt myself. But on top of that feat, it put me into the mind of Max, a girl who for some reason I related to a lot, and made me realize I was identifying in a way that never had with other characters in any videogame. I came to realize I was trans, and LiS opened my eyes to how good it felt for me to be in the pov of a girl. The writing for that game is damn incredible because it's so empathically written that in fact most of the time you have to succeed you *need* to be able to recognize what the most empathetic path forward is. And that kind of thing can *only* work if its nailed perfectly. Otherwise you get something like LA Noire where you'd fly off the handle for no reason when you just wanted to "Doubt" someone. Truly a masterpiece of a game, Life is Strange. So glad to see it recognized. It is beautiful what that game accomplishes in its writing. Have you also played Life is Strange 2, Blessing?

What always blows me away is that fkng and other variations of the F word are banned or removed, but somehow the N word is fine.
