I'm down! I dunno if you've already thought of platform and everything, but I went to a virtual New Year's Eve party that used a cool platform I had never seen before.
https://topia.io/
You control an avatar an walk around a room that hte hoster designs (from prebuilt objects). As you walk around the room, video and audio of the people you approach fade in and out, which is a great a solution to the whole Zoom thing where really only one person can talk at a time.
This party also involved specific areas such as a "game table." You would approach and then click on it which took you to a link to a zoom call in which people were playing Jackbox games. Another area was playing music when you approached and people were dancing on their cameras, haha. Another area was a bar that was playing a pre-recorded video of some friends of ours making cocktails that you could follow along with.
It was really cool, and it seems like under a certain 25 people they may not charge, however I know my friends definitely did pay so I'm not sure if some of the features might not work on the free version. Also, it might be few enough people at any one time due to time zones and shit that Discord or Zoom would work for us anyway. But, something to consider
This sounds neat and I'll be making some investigations. TBH I hadn't thought any further than Discord cos I figured it'd be five diehards getting shitfaced. I love that so many of you are on board and now I feel like I should at least look presentable or some shit.
We shall make a wee devil effigy in your honour and pour one out for absent TLSers. <3
Hadn't pinned it down to a time, was hoping for input but I just threw a date out and we're going with that apparently.
IDK, from 5pm Central European Time, which is 4pm UTC. You can figure out your local time from this: https://24timezones.com/timezone-map#grefSo western USA at that time is 8am, but eastern Australia is 2am. Like I said, we're flexible and can start earlier and people can drop in and out as they choose. There'll be update dickery on here too in case Discord is a bit too chaotic.
Oh my sweet summer child.

For anyone else looking to figure out their respective time, this site is also pretty handy (if your timezone doesn't auto-populate, you can put it in the top-left field): https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

I was under the assumption there was video? I've never used discord

I know you can use discord for video calls. This article leads me to believe we should be able to have up to 25 people.

Do we need music for the event? Maybe ff7 soundtrack or a mix of ff soundtracks. Or we could have ryvius sing for us the whole time.

I vote for looping the Gold Saucer theme, ad infinitum.

Damn, I hardly hear the difference between the interviewer and the respondent. I mean, I can clearly hear some differences but they're so subtle I can't analyze them on the fly.
Nvm, I'll be entertaining you with the worst Russian accent that I can deliver on purpose hahahaha
At least, I'll try to, because once you learn to speak correctly, it's hard to unlearn.

Junon would probably be the most appropriate if we were to loop a track. Cosmos canyon might be my favorite but its not really a party tune. Honestly anything on repeat for too long would be a buzz kill. I dont know how long this thing is going to run. I just thought music would be good to have for a back up

I think there's a music bot on the channel. Either way, I prefer to have my own music. Music streaming over video channels tends to be really choppy
