I did a talk in 2019 where I mention that tidbit. Of course, to properly do it justice I had to bring a Guinness and open it on stage. Here’s a video from EuRuKo that was filmed on a decommissioned ocean liner converted into a hotel and conf space https://youtu.be/Aczy01drwkg?si=lsVWAFv9f3eLc2fZ&t=1095 https://youtu.be/Aczy01drwkg?si=lsVWAFv9f3eLc2fZ&t=1095

  I agree. You can read the talk here https://www.schneems.com/2020/09/16/the-lifechanging-magic-of-tidying-ruby-object-allocations/ https://www.schneems.com/2020/09/16/the-lifechanging-magic-o.... I introduced the voiceover artist at the beginning, she’s a Japanese speaker that I found on fiver. I chose her because the talk was being given at a Japanese speaking conference (Ruby Kaigi). I love the foil of having a second character on screen but having an accented cartoon was not the right effect I was going for. I’m still experimenting with multiple characters in my talks but my most recent one I did doesn’t use any actors and I read their lines like a narrator. I think the effect works much better https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-8UQMH6p-Mw&list=PL9oQ7yETvN12aRSuBWqjrCjwtKugdAPrT&index=3&pp=iAQB https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-8UQMH6p-Mw&list=PL9oQ7yETvN12...

    ah, appreciate the reply, and the spirit of creativity. Kinda feel like I got caught being overly critical and here is the actual creator! Thanks for receiving it well and also for putting your stuff out there.

      I’m kinda glad you said something to be honest. I wanted to mention the voiceover being cringe but it’s also hard to pre-apologize for something without raising a lot of alarm bells. I’m still proud of the overall talk. I’m glad I pushed a limit, found it, and learned from it. Your comment stated what you saw and how you felt about it. I think you did a great job speaking up without lashing out or talking down. I appreciate that.

  i would advise maybe toning down the strength of your criticism when addressing the creator of the content /2c

    I appreciate you sticking up for me. I can see this comment being taken poorly by others. I also think we generally need to learn to empathize that the creator might experience our words different than how we mean them (and therefore be kinder when we post). In this case, I was aware that the rabbit is tough to watch so I have the empathy for my viewer and the comment came across as honest rather than harsh. I don’t think you should be downvoted. If it was a different time or place then I 100% could have taken it the wrong way.
