@Ravtrag Funny thing is, Facebook of all companies almost communicate this in their current marketing blitz of someone putting on a headset and being transported into a roleplay setting.

It's just that so many ads oversell that kind of experience, they have trouble communicating that's what it's actually like.

@porsupah I'll be interested in hearing about it! Because that's going to finally make it very accessible

@Ravtrag Tbh, I feel bad for folks for whom "be a creature" isn't even slightly enticing.

Because the funny thing is, getting someone into VRChat and any headset for like 5 minutes is a life-changing thing, even outside of our circles. I just wish that were easier to communicate without experiencing it.

@Leviamicky True!

It's still weird to me to see VR platforms marketed as niche gaming platforms or productivity hardware, when like 95% of how I use it is for body positivity and so I can pet/be pet by friends.

@regal Funny thing is, impostor syndrome never ends. Senior devs just get better at pretending they've got their shit together and learn to ask the good dumb questions upfront.

Internally, I am just as nervous with people as I was 10-15y ago, just as raw about forced human interaction to get work done, but it's layered under practiced neurons to carefully ask simple things. And it works, and folks act reverent towards it, which is the weirdest feeling in the world.

@Aether Since we don't have a labor party as such here, and our Democratic Party is managed top-down, organizations like this one generally fill the gaps locally to various degrees of effectiveness.

This proposal, and the attempts to rally Boeing's union to affect it, seems especially reasonable in that direction.

@Aether It's an actual organization! https://seattledsa.org

Also, anyone who proudly blasts out their job title as "CEO" on a personal website when I search for who they are and why they're against a measure clearly should not be trusted with any position of power, ever.

On a measure to increase our local minimum wage, statement against, paraphrased: "Don't listen to the extremists from Seattle Democratic Socialists, this will hurt our jobs and the economy!!"

I was already in favor of this, but thanks for letting me know I should vote for it harder.

@noelfb Played through last night. Great work, and thanks to all of you for making that small videogame we love, too!
