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!

i didn't learn this trick until way late, i recorded each video essay in vr live and it would be incredibly frustrating. lose tracking? fuck up a word? have a weird software glitch? time to redo the whole fucking thing!

now i just use soundpad and dissociate for 10 minutes

the secret is pre-recording audio and piping it into vrchat and gesturing along

The most negative reaction I ever received to anything I've ever done was when I told nerds that "full dive" VR is never going to happen.

That anger, and this article, are linked at the hip.

“Hey Meta, how old is this baby?” I asked.
I was holding my child close to me as we waited for the elevator. He was facing away and Meta’s answer was fairly imprecise. I held my kiddo out a bit further, still facing away, and asked again. Meta answered with both greater precision and accuracy.

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!
