Does this violate some law of physics, like crossing the streams?

Yep. I'd like to also start to be able to put stuff up there myself. But I don't know the ins and outs of doing it 'correctly' :). Mind giving me a few pointers?

I've uploaded a piece of anime con ephemera here: youtu.be/8-fRFvpXUHM, the AnimEigo panel from Anime Expo '93. Full of awful vhs camcordering and sound issues from yours truly. thru a quick pass of whisper subs on it to make up for the non-mic audio being so low. #otakuarchive

Honestly just the screenshot of heino holding the obscenely large wine glass made me want to use some of it

gavvhell Home for the host of Anime Hell; Finder of #lostmedia; and home of gavv's #OtakuArchive. Current projects: posting lost G4 Portal and old anime con footage from VHS

been flexing my utterly useless skill of having random #lostmedia around. I've been uploading previously 'lost' episodes of the G4 launch era scripted MMORPG machinima show, Portal, to my YT channel (www.youtube.com/@gavvhell) I've posted about 20 'found' eps so far. #g4 #g4tv #portal #g4archive

The answer is at that Anime Expo, @animeigo.com hosted a panel that became a de facto focus group. They debuted snippets of their first ever dub (riding bean) where they showed multiple takes of scenes, with the audience voting and gaving feedback on the various choices.

I'm starting to digitize some of my old vhs camcorder recordings from 'ancient' anime cons. Anyone have suggestions for audio tools/effects i can work with/wo premiere to help with noise reduction/cleanup? (Looking atm at the AnimEigo panel from '93. Believe its AX but it might have been AnAm)

Awesome! This episode pairs well with some of Alex Smith's They Create Worlds episodes on Ramtek and other bronze age companies

I did the same with a lot of could-be-neat 6-7am local TV commercials when robotech was on the air, right after the daily Ag Report!

And of course you had that prescient ending we can all live by "and remember- be careful, those KGB scum are everywhere."

I liked it. Nothing earth shattering but a nice period piece sports anime

Clause 3 of the 14th Amendment is obscure because no major political party since the Amendment was adopted has considered nominating someone who came within parsecs of engaging in anything that could even arguably be considered insurrection.

...They all sit together and watch X-Files each week, and each own several shirts featuring a Gecko or some other lizard. This product probably has a girlfriend named Caroline, that it met at a local laundromat while reading the same book

Is it weird that the first thing I thought of when I saw the tweet was a 2600 paddle controller glued to the back of a dualsense?

BREAKING: Michigan judge dismisses Section 3 claim against Trump as a "political question" #ELB Zoe Tillman has the judge’s opinion here. The judge finds that the Secretary holds no authority to exclude a candidate under state law. He goes on to find that Congress holds the power to remove the...

Another unsurprising defeat for Section 3 litigation. Like the MN Supreme Court, MI judge finds state law has no such requirement applicable to the primary ballot, that the general election isn't ripe yet, and that the whole issue is probably a non-justiciable political question.
