Another essay, this time on what I've learnt from making many worlds for VRChat: their designs impact people's behavior in ways far stronger than I ever expected.
VR is an escape to a better world, here's how world design could help keep it better!

Hurricane Erin went from Category 1 to Category 4 in 15 hours Y'all. That's well beyond our definition of rapid intensification. My update on the hurricane. It may not be done strengthening yet. Where is it going and how strong will it get?

Just an incredible explosive RI event with #Erin overnight. The pressure has fallen roughly 75 mb in 24 hours and has gone from a TS to category 4 during that time . 💣

Cool phrase going around
Putting this graphic together made me really excited
I've done a lot of work and learned a lot of stuff
My biggest suggestion for anyone has always been DO IT
Don't bother seeing if others think you should
DO IT FIRST
Then even if they don't like it you still did it
