TehClan 55 Operation Insane Admiral

I purchased some audio equipment for the podcast. A Yamaha MG12 will allow me to have better control of the mix. My voice, the game and the chat will be on separate channels. I will probably mix in some sound effects soon, but need to figure a good app for the effects.

I tried running the podcast from a single machine, wasn’t able to get it to work consistently. Voicemeeter is great but not stable on my machine.

Managing a video stream through one machine is a little tough. I run all my games in full screen so it’s hard to tell what is going on with the streaming app.

But feels so far

I have observed two problems that I can only point to a culture of mindless cooperate bullies.

Let’s start with the evidence.

• While wait to board, and mother approached the counter asking when does the  family boarding happen. This mother was holding a <6 month old. The agent sternly said there isn’t one.. When the mother said there was one on my previous leg, the agent replied, “Sorry, it policy that we don’t have a family board”. The mother and child waited out till their section was called. 
• United beat down. A flight was overbooked. And agent randomly selected ~4 people to get off the plane. When one person refused, the police attempted to forcably remove this person.

From these events, I can only conclude that there is a culture of employees hiding behind “rules” that is not empowered. I generally appreciate these tatics in business negetions, engineering reviews, or even commercial pricing. It is tough to be partnered with a customer service based company when the customer is treat with no grey scale. Black and White. The company is always right and you are always wrong.
