In the spirit of "if nobody does it, I'm gonna do it myself" (see: Talomat), I'm "officially" launching the tentatively-named La Curantoina ("The Quarantine"), the Covid-prompted successor to the Talossan Evening Chat Show.

Very tentatively, we could have our first chat Thursday 26th at 5 PM TST (TDT) / 9 PM UTC. This is not final: this thread is also meant to see if there's enough turnout and if necessary change the day/time.

Anyone that would be willing to take part, please reply to this thread so that we can also decide on other details (eg. where? is it worth it for me to stream it for an audience or posterity?).

As for topics to discuss, I would rather not discuss politics or current (Talossan) affairs too much, honestly. I'm aiming for some sort of relaxed chat between friends, talking about what's going on and see where the discussion leads to. Not sure if this is shared or not (but if it's not, that's fine, I don't want to set the agenda unilaterally).

Also, I forgot to say that prospectives are very welcome to attend too! @Hal Glaze @Laurens Hughes @Dakota J. Parish @Mateus Rodrigues Pacheco

I should be available then.

I think the previous version used Google Hangouts. We could (like everyone else on Earth apparently) use Zoom instead, which is quite easy to use, but I think the free version caps meetings with more than three people to 40 minutes.

I have no idea where Zoom came out of before this whole Covid thing began, but it has worked well for me so far. Do you know if we can get around the time limit by simply launching a new meeting?

Besides Zoom, I am also fine with Hangouts. Better than Skype at least, and I can't think of many other services (well, Discord/TS if we don't want video).

If the right platform is used then count me in.  It'll need to be something I can do with phone or tablet, otherwise I'll just need to be audience.

(also, please don't ban the idea of politics.  If the conversation flows into Talossan politics then I think that's fine)

Come one, come all! So far, we should be five, with at least two more also considering taking part. The more, the merrier!

As for the platform, I'm currently leaning on Hangouts, which should be the one that most people already have and that has the least limitations.

Sure, I have no problem with that. I was just making sure it's not too political, which might turn some off.

Will this be recorded and posted on YouTube as well?

I would like to stream it, yes.

The stream has been set up! Head to


to get a reminder (and to watch the chat when it's on).

EDIT: Private while it's processed, will un-private when done.

Turns out I can't read and set the stream to 10 UTC instead of 9 (and also announced it for 10 UTC on Facebook despite mentioning 5, not 6, CDT). So we're going to start in around twenty minutes.

Hype!

We're on! (Currently just me, Glüc and Danihel.)

If you want to join, just message me! Otherwise, there's the youtube link to follow this live.

Whats the delay? It doesnt say that youre live right now.

NVM Its working now

La Curantoina has ended! The chat of course, not the actual quarantine. If you were watching and wondering why it took me so long to write this, it's because we went on discussing the language.

The stream is being processed and will be re-watchable soon at the same link (it's private for now).

Thanks to all who took part, hopefully we'll have another one next week or so.

Sorry I missed this. Perhaps we can do one over the weekend?

If there's the turnout I'm up for it, sure. I should be available at around 6 PM TST Sunday.

So when will the recording be up?

I have decided I will probably do some editing to break the 2h video up into smaller parts according to topic, to enable people who didn't take part live to follow what they prefer (instead of waiting eg. 1h20 to get to the Glheþ part).

Also I kind of want to reupload it (and the Speech from the Throne) on a different channel so that people don't have to sift through my useless gaming content.

I'm unsure if this is happening and if there is a zoom link... I don't know if this has to necessarily be recorded and posted. Perhaps an informal chat with whoever wants to participate?

Next Curantoina on Friday 3 or Saturday 4 at 8 PM UTC, how does that sound? (that's 10 PM CEST, 9 PM BST, 3 PM Central/TST, 4 PM Eastern, etc.)
Please post which day you'd prefer (if you plan to be there).

Tagging all former participants + other people who either were interested or showed up in the chat:

@Danihel Txechescu @Eðo Grischun @Glüc, S.H. @Ian Plätschisch @Ián Tamorán S.H. @Iason Taiwos @Magniloqueu Épiqeu Ac'hlerglünä da Lhiun @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial @Viteu

but obviously all citizens and prospectives are welcome to take part!

The plan is to keep using last time's platform, meet.jit.si, to allow for ad-free, registration-free, unlimited video chatting. Additionally, I still hope to have the VOD of the first chat available before then.

(Edit: this previously said "Sunday 4". It has been fixed now to Saturday and the day number, 4, was correct.)

I like how the mention thing only detected four people. Attempting to tag the rest, otherwise I just hope yall will read this on your own:

@Ian Plätschisch @Ián Tamorán S.H. @Iason Taiwos @Magniloqueu Épiqeu Ac'hlerglünä da Lhiun @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial

Friday is better for me - though Saturday is OK too (I know we won't have any guests!). Please let me (us?) know how to connect to the meeting - and what other software we need.

Either day works for me.

Right, so it seems this will happen today, provided someone turns up!


I will share here both the meeting link (just before we start) and the stream link (much earlier so people can set reminders).

Note to who plans to turn up later: I would ideally like to keep it at most 1h30m long.

Here's the link to the stream:

As before, you can use this to get a notification when it's live and (eventually) to watch it live.

We're starting now!

Just watched back the #2 Kahoot question at 10:10, V "Is it gonna be in metric or..." and then the answers came on, haha.
