i am disappointed in you fly. You're impacting my productivity (positively) by having the forum be down.

Friends moved recently, we had a couple fall/winter traditions with them, one of them was a drinking game from one of half a dozen movies.

I'd like to try and do some sort of Skype setup that allows us to recreate this in our respective homes ~900 miles from each other.

What would be the best way of doing this?

1) Fly out to see them
2) nothing else.

Boo this suggestion, folks. Boo it.

I dont have the time, money, or ability to find a dog sitter for my dogs once or twice a month that we'd need to fly out and see them as often as we'd like. It's an unreasonable suggestion.

We have a couple trips planned to them and for them to come down, but it's much less disruptive to set up a webcam, a spare TV and connect and spend time with each other. Since it's less disruptive it is possible to do it more often.

Fly up to watch the newest episode of Westworld or a football game on TV? Only if you're high. Hook up a telecomm setup? Easily possible.

I love the idea, but we'd have to get a bunch of VR stuff. Feels like it would make drinking games difficult as well? Maybe at a later date?

Are two cell phones on stands and a video chat app really that difficult to get set up?
Mysteriously, the wife and grandkids >10 seem to manage it.

Not a bunch. You could probably use Google Cardboard, if you have Androids...

vr chat, despite its cartoony nature is a pretty damn good interaction medium

Never used it, but it seems pretty damn neat.

Yes

And?

You guys are so helpful.

I'm using it as an abstraction layer for doing embarrassingly parallel math on very big machines.

I'm sure my experience won't translate to your latest Synology purchase.
