Once in a blue moon I still check X just in case there is a message waiting for me there, I've otherwise abandoned the platform. I still type twitter into the address bar religiously just out of spite. I wonder if that gets tracked, I wonder how many people do the same.

Did a new dev build for Godot XR Tools, had to do some CI testing.

Main thing that changed is that I improved the player body logic so you can now lean over tables and get a fade out when you stick your head through a wall :)

We’re finally ready to share the news, Godot is running great on AndroidXR and with it, it’s the first device working with the new spatial entities API. Can’t wait to show it off!
With the release of Samsung Galaxy XR, the first headset using the new Android XR operating system, we are pleased to announce that Godot supports this new ecosystem. Read more about it in our announcement:

This is a must read regardless of whether you use Godot or VR. Zi is too humble, this is a masterclass in making a trailer for your game.
Making Penguin Festival's VR gameplay trailer was really challenging, but also fun and rewarding. Here's a little postmortem for my own posterity but also in case anyone else finds it helpful!

I remember when so many used to claim Godot couldn’t do 3D…

Look at where we are today, our showreel came out, amazing what people are doing today!

Something my friend David Snopek is working on, make sure you watch till the end because the first part of the video is looking at functionality we already have.

Live editing in VR by manipulating objects in VR space. It's early days but has so much potential!

Today I learned that Godot and I have the exact same IPD (interpupillary distance), so now I feel less bad for making them wear my PICO.

Dangit, speaker on my phone died, i’m not having much luck these past days with hardware. Though it’s nearly 5yrs old so guess it held up well.

Wow.. Looks like I managed to somehow overload (part of) my USB chip on my motherboard. I have a feeling my webcam had something to do with it as it seems to be toast as well. Guess I'll be installing a better USB PCIe card or something...

So finally figured out why my computer is running badly lately. After a fresh boot Windows is using all of my 32Gb of memory, and task manager is showing me nothing useful for what is eating it all up... Sigh
