Tomorrow ( from the time I'm writing it ) on 8th of November 2024 I will be presenting on SeaGL 2024 conference. I will be talking about how and why I made Moria's Race.

SeaGL being not organized by FSF is using YouTube for the online events. I talked to them about it. They don't have any time to change how they will present this year's event. But they are open to stream via PeerTube next year. Madiator2011 seems to be okay with them using his instance for it. And apparently he has enough bandwidth for it. Perhaps the recordings of this year's streams will be published onto Madiator's instance later.
↩ Reply For the meantime I found a solution for those who want to watch the presentation live. MPV apparently can play YouTube streams as they happen. So by simply typing into the terminal mpv, space bar, and the link to the stream, you should be able to see the stream without running any proprietary software.

In 2019 on the Cannes film festival director Nicolas Winding Refn ( the director of the 2013 film Only God Forgives ) released episodes 4 and 5 of his ( then ) new multi-episode picture Too Old To Die Young. Episode 5 titled "The Fool" contains a car chase scene. Some argue it is one of the most romantic car chases in cinematic history. The joke is, that the car chase is set to a romantic Barry Manilow's 1974 hit "Mandy", making the juxtaposition rather hilarious in nature. But given the ass-born theory specialist that I am, I must suggest an interesting twist to this whole ordeal. During the principal photography of the first episode of Too Old To Die Young another film-maker Panos Cosmatos released a film, strangely similar in style to whatever Refn is doing. And his film was called Mandy. We can theorize that maybe Refn responded, in his strange way, recognizing the stylistic similarities, so to speak.
