I am excited to announce the launch of my new #VRChat world, Monument!
Help us build a really big tower one brick at a time. The tower is synced across all instances, so each brick you place will increase its height for everyone who joins the world.
I really hope it will one day reach the sky.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to build a monument? Something so large, that a single person could never hope to create at even a fraction of that scale?

If the UK was still in the EU, I would be signing this
Looks like the outcome didn't go as planned. It only got short of half a million signatures from EU citizens.
There is still a month left though so if you haven't signed, you still can!
Even if you're not in the EU you can also share/repost!

![5-panel comic. (1) [teacher with long hair next to whiteboard] TEACHER: I’m supposed to give you the tools to do good science. (2) [teacher addressing students] But what *are* those tools? Methodology is hard and there are so many ways to get incorrect results. What is the magic ingredient that makes for good science? (3) TEACHER: To figure it out, I ran a regression with all the factors people say are important: [embedded list in sub-panel, cut off at end] Outcome variable: correct scientific results. Predictors: collaboration; skepticism of others’ claims; questioning your own beliefs; trying to falsify hypotheses; checking citations; statistical rigor; blinded analysis; financial disclosure; open data (4) TEACHER: The regression says two ingredients are the most crucial: 1) genuine curiosity about the answer to a question, and 2) ammonium hydroxide. (5) STUDENT: Wait, why did *ammonia* score so high? How did it even get on the list?

I realized its the 20th anniversary of Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogatari) so 15 years after I made the illustration for the Wiiware release, I've decided to redraw it. Could finally update some elements that didn't have a consistent design back then.
