I see others saying audio gets out of sync later into the episode, but it also starts out of sync (perhaps to a lesser degree). In the beginning of the epi, at the 1:00 mark, you can see Abby gasping at the dogs dancing when she dances several seconds before she appears to start dancing.
I LOVE this series and the live switching looks good! I hope the audio sync issue can be rectified in this and future episodes cuz the magic is all there.
I'm not surprised that anyone on this stream supports Black Lives Matter. I'm pretty surprised that Giant Bomb, as an entity, chose to use their platform to stream and raise money for BLM. That is an active choice to take a side, and I'm goddamn proud of them.
I feel exactly the same. A huge portion of this community has wedged the political 'fence' directly up the very center of their ass cracks, and this kind of action is a good, strong push.
When covering cultural issues, the GB team's frequently hesitant, awkward silence in the past has helped foster the notion that this is a safe place to be if you don't want to think about this kind of stuff, like, ever in your entire life, and the consequences of that have manifested in remarkably nasty ways. The frequent attacks on Abby and Austin in particular by members on this site were/are inextricably tied to the notion that this is meant to be a 'neutral' place, and their worldviews and, indirectly, the nature of their very personhood challenge that 'neutrality'.
I know that this attitude towards social issues has changed for the better in the last few years, and I'm enormously grateful, but this clear, plain support of a specific issue is especially potent. I hope this marks the path of a new trajectory here.
