Had this knocking around in my head for about 6 months and finally got around to writing it out and filming it. This is my first time making a video essay and I haven't written VO since college but I'm happy with how it came out. Let me know what you think!

@naelstrof.bsky.social and I have our first stable version of our new multithreaded version of Jiggle Physics for Unity!
I am excited to be able to offer this free and open source under the MIT license. If you use it to make something cool I'd love to see!

In my estimation, a lot of the people who have problems with Bluesky are so used to platforms just serving up the content buffet that they're unwilling to do the work to have a good experience here.
That work is the social part of social media.

In line with the frequency illusion, I've started seeing more interactive and non-competitive worlds in VRChat (though of course they were there all along).
I've really enjoyed "Write a Letter" by Elliot112. Lots of love and also pain engraved into that world.

The migration is complete! Was kinda scary to migrate a running project to a different service while also completely rewriting the server, but it all worked out in the end. I feel like I've gained quite a lot of empathy for cloud devs through this experience.

It's been 24 hours since the first brick was laid on the monument, over 65 thousand bricks have been placed!
Don't expect many size updates because the whole point is for the tower to be unquantifiable. But I am so overjoyed at how many people seem to be enjoying it that I felt compelled to share.

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?

Broke our record again today at 294,
ended up running out of computers to run basis clients on, plenty more to give.
It was great seeing everyone. We run tests weekly; feel free to come along for the next one! basisvr.org discord.gg/v6ve6WT562

Going to Knutepunkt was an absolute joy. I met so many cool people, and I’m very sad (and a little scared) that I have to go back to the US.
I will likely write a bit about the experience itself later, but for now, I want to share this snowperson we made before the Nordic Larp Talks.

I was packing for my flight and couldn’t find my power bank. I eventually gave up and went in for work. By some cosmic coincidence, the university just happened to receive some free power banks that day and was giving them away c:

We've been busy at the Myriad and the VR Roleplay Repo is now live!
We're offering a new way to share and discover VR roleplays. The Repo is a website allowing users to search for, add and edit roleplay pages.
I really hope this helps you find some interesting roleplays!
