I did live feeds for an auction. Normally there are multiple cameras and the camera operators are given orders from a shot caller. The MCOs then cut between cameras for different shots and scenes for a more dynamic feel instead of 1 camera pointing at a person talking nonstop. It’s almost like they had only 1 camera to work with, but were trying to still do various shots which would require multiple cameras. Because of this, the viewer sees all the adjustments being made that would normally not be on the live feed.

Another weird thing: why is the scripting language typescript? Typescript is not really a scripting language(it would typically have to be transpiled into JavaScript).

At first it was some kind of NFT art gallery, then a "community driven meme NFT metaverse project" and now a "Next-Generation AI-Powered Metaverse". Some older versions of the website had hilariously terrible screenshots! The creator got into contact with me *when I left* the Discord, because of all the NFT shit popping up all the sudden. Basically just bragging about NFT, not caring about the quality of his previous "products". A pretty interesting conversation I didn't ask for. After failing to deliver anything of value multiple times, he's now promising "By leveraging a DAO, AI technology, and the unique blend of survival and casual gameplay, Sage Towers aims to create a dynamic, ever-evolving metaverse that consistently offers players the excitement and sense of wonder reminiscent of the golden age of gaming."

They don’t know about modern game tech, nor do they care. All these things you think are basic now only matter to them if they help their bank balance go up. To them, that’s what a computer is for.
