        It’s rare that filming will want the same feed as is going to a PA. Sometimes they have to due to logistics, but they will moan about it

                Yeh, I did. Just looking out.
                It’s odd to see an admin user name not doing admin actions.
                Most mods/admins have a normal account and a different mod/admin account for when they have to put on their official hat.

            If the live engineer is crappy and causes feedback or echo (like on the brink of feedback) that goes straight to records. There is no way to fix it in post (well, no decent way, and takes ages to dial in something mostly acceptable ).
            If it’s a “feel of being live” that’s required in post, most lavs are omni so will pick up a bunch of atmo noise. It will likely feel live by virtue of being live. I imagine they have some mics on the camera as well for atmo.

            Maybe the records aren’t set up for a feed from the sound desk. Maybe the sound desk isn’t able to provide a clean feed.
            The lav mic is probably wireless, with the receiver direct into a camera. They don’t have any gain-before-feedback physics to contend with, so they can gain it however they want.
            And if they are doing any spots not in front of the mic on stage (or a mic through the sound desk), they will need a mic anyway. If they always use the same mic, then the sound will be consistent.

            Better to have an independent feed.

            But who cares, the guy is a piece of shit. Any videos he’s gonna put out are not for the benefit of humanity

    I do find it crazy that pcgamer is reporting this, because the rest of the news media has just faceplanted on journalism. Reminds me of the Bush Admin, when Rolling Stone Magazine was one of the only reliable sources of news thanks to the extreme corruption within the major publications.

        Kinda crazy when they subvert expectations like that sometimes and actually prove themselves as a journalist.

        You’d think a journalist for Teen Vogue or Cosmopolitan would be a hack and then all of a sudden they drop some in-depth, well written op-ed that makes you go “what? How?..”

        Like I said elsewhere, I’ve actually got a couple copies of Rolling Stone from the opening weeks/months of the Iraq Invasion (their somewhere in my personal library) and the comparison to issues from before the war is staggering. Their journalists were actually really good and when they weren’t being told to write a bunch of gobbledygook about a has-been one hit wonder, they were really capable journalists.

      Anglican Catholic Church

      The church part of the name isn’t what really gets me. How can a schisim(from the episcopalians) of an offshoot(from the church of England) of a schisim(from the Catholic Church) proclaim itself katholikos (universal).

        Meanings of words evolve. They’re refering to the belief system rather than to the original meaning and ethymology. But when you know it does sound funny.

          Yeah it’s just the Catholics, with their belief in universal authority of the Pope, actually still embody that original etymology. And if there’s one group that gets hung up on the original meaning of words in other languages it’s theologians. Well, at least non evangelical theologians. Evangelicals like to invent meaning and declare the king James bible divinely inspired so who knows what’s going through their minds half the time.

      a nazi salute is pretty much anti-everyone, man.

      First they came for the Communists
      And I did not speak out
      Because I was not a Communist
      
      Then they came for the Socialists
      And I did not speak out
      Because I was not a Socialist
      
      Then they came for the trade unionists
      And I did not speak out
      Because I was not a trade unionist
      
      Then they came for the Jews
      And I did not speak out
      Because I was not a Jew
      
      Then they came for me
      And there was no one left
      To speak out for me

          The “Anglican Catholic Church” is actually not affiliated with either the holy see (the “actual” Roman Catholic Church) or the Anglican Church (as headed by the Archbishop Canterbury and the King of England).

          He joined it because he didn’t make the cut to become an actual Anglican Priest because of

          concerns about Robinson’s “libertarian anti-woke, anti-identity politics, Covid-sceptical” political views and his use of social media, particularly Twitter, to disseminate them."

            Can’t speak for the actual Anglican church because I’ve never been to the UK. But the episcopalian church, which is the american spinoff of the Anglican church, is the most accepting church I’m aware of. They regularly put up signs with a rainbow flag that say “All Are Welcome”

            Anglican really just means a version of the Catholic church splintered off by Anglo-Saxons, and Catholic means for everyone, so all their church name really means is a Anglican tradition, or style church for everyone. Thera millions of sects out there that use very similar titles and terminology, it’s not always misleading even if it’s confusing or obscure language.

              Anglican really just means a version of the Catholic church splintered off by Anglo-Saxons

              The proto-Anglicans stopped being Catholics when King Henry the 8th couldn’t get the pope to annul his marriage, so he split the English church from the Catholic church. So, for 500 years, the Anglicans haven’t been Catholics. And it has nothing to do with “Anglo-Saxons”. Anglo-Saxons are a cultural group from the middle ages. The Church of England and Anglicanism comes from centuries later and applies to the country of England under the king Henry the 8th. The Church of England and/or Anglicanism doesn’t date from the middle ages, it was effectively a political construction due to the king wanting a divorce and not to have to answer to the pope. But, the reasons behind the split don’t really matter as much as the fact that the people following churches related to that split haven’t recognized the authority of the pope for centuries, so they’re not Catholics.

              In this case, the name is really misleading because the Anglicans don’t consider them to be Anglican, the Catholics definitely don’t consider them to be Catholics, and you can’t really merge the Anglican and Catholic faiths because they’re so different.

    “While we cannot say what was in Mr. Robinson’s heart when he did this, his action appears to have been an attempt to curry favor with certain elements of the American political right by provoking its opposition,” reads a statement posted by the Anglican Catholic Church on Wednesday. “Mr. Robinson had been warned that online trolling and other such actions (whether in service of the left or right) are incompatible with a priestly vocation and was told to desist. Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked. He is no longer serving as a priest in the ACC.”
