Comic Hangout & Open Studio

[punkarsenic]

im a regular here! idk if ill turn up much lately tho, ive been p distracted watching movies while drawing instead

[Merle]

I´m a regular in the Hangout, too ;D It´s a great community, very resourcefull and welcoming. I´m looking forward to meet some new people ~
and @feuersichel (I´m almost assuming you´re german with that name, haha) Don´t worry about spelling errors or not being a native english speaker at all. I´m from Germany, and there is lots of people from all over the world in the Chat! ;D I´d say if anything my english has improved since joining the Hangout.

[LordVincent]

I'm a regular there and I'm swedish so not being a native english speaker isn't too uncommon in our group haha

Things like this really make me wish I wasn't the embodiment of anxiety.
I love working in environments with other creatives doing their creative thing.
I might try to pop in, but can't guarantee I won't chicken out. Good luck getting new members though! Sounds like fun. :>

[NanettesClouds]

No worries man! I’ve been struggling with anxiety recently too, I can say that these folks are some of the few people that I’m entirely comfortorable around! Myself and the other moderators do our best to keep things civil, and resolve conflicts in a constructive way when they arise. (That said, we’ve very rarely have problems) I hope to see you around!

[akemikae]

Three of us are hanging out right now. There's me, Vincent and Menbung. Just bumping in case anyone else wanted to join atm.

[darkdeadendstudios]

there are people in the comic hangouts group now as well so if anyone is interested come on in we don't bite ^^

[starbeams]

I might have to try this, even though I am nervous about having my camera on!

[afisa.wavinflier]

i hate to use my camera too.

[NanettesClouds]

Don’t worry @afisa.wavinflier and @starbeams you don’t have to turn your camera on!

[starbeams]

Oh sweet! Just the mic is ok? That will make me less shy...

[NanettesClouds]

Yeah that’s totally fine - there’s also a text chat, I tend to only use mic when other people are also using it, just cuz if I’m the only one using the mic I feel like I’m “streaming” and I don’t like that. So yeah, whatever you’re comfortorable with!

[SynergyEclipse]

I'm interested in joining, but I didn't see anyone there. Was it because I turned my camera and mic off when entering, or was no one else there? Is there a best time of the week for this?

[Kura]

It might be because no one was there (don't worry, you don't need your mic and cam on, I never have those turned on either), it happens sometimes (I haven't been able to joins as frequently as I used to due to life and all) usually if you wait around a bit more people will start to show, as the site will usually give notifications that someone is there (to people if you've joined before with an account, this is not always reliable though, and seems to work better for mods) If no one shows you can always try again later.

Personally I usually notice that weekdays are more active than weekend (though that might be me as I am usually busy on weekends so don't go so much)

[MinNCompany]

Menbung and I are in the hangout rn if anyone wants to drop by!

(warning: mic and cam are automatically on when you enter, so you can just mute/hide real quick)

[SynergyEclipse]

What times of the day are usually the most active? I still haven't been able to see anyone yet, and I don't see any text-only option appear in the hangout. Does that only appear when at least one other person is there?

[MinNCompany]

@Kattlanna I'll be in the hangout today!

[NanettesClouds]

I'm in the hangout today! I'll probably be around all day.

[punkarsenic]

What times of the day are usually the most active?

uhhh probably from the afternoon to evening american time, most people in the chat are in north american timezones, but theres a few of us in europe (not that our sleep schedules believe us)

the text option is on the right, it sometimes disappears into a little chat bubble that you have to click on for the chat bar to pop up. its always there, even when youre alone in the room.

[LortiaMJB]

Was fun hanging out for a bit! I'll be around more often. ^^
