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.

VR is an escape to a better world, here's how world design could help keep it better!

also, fwiw, our reddit is garbage primarily because we have no control over it, nor does the admin/owner of that subreddit have any desire to actively moderate it

a simple pinned faq/wiki link could make it not dogshit, alas

not sure my takeaway from that thread is that 90% of the people hate it, lol.

i think it's more that people are worried about the performance impacts of things we're doing, which is understandable, and probably means we need to publish more about how we're benchmarking them

Here’s my recreation of the Advanced Course in Daytona USA as a fully playable VRChat racing world! No source code used, just constructed and programmed in Unity & C# (UdonSharp) by eyeballing the arcade version and doing my best while trying to keep it fun!
