@lucidvirtuality.bsky.social I think we were at the same VR performance today? I should have said hi but I was catching up with a friend (and also got shy)

This was such a phenomenal talk for anyone working in indie marketing (especially if you're doing the too-many-hats type of marketing where you gotta do EVERYTHING) - well worth the @gdocexpo.com ticket price to watch this one alone! (Lots of other great talks too!)

Tamara Hughes @mamamonkey.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

GDoC this week!! I really enjoyed this last year, lots of interesting & insightful talks (not to mention waaaaay more accessible than GDC). Check it out!

I’ve been checking out some of the Venice Immersive works in @vrchat.com over the past few days. Very cool! It’s only there for a little bit longer, check it out while you can!

Specularium world in VRChat - part of Venice Immersive 2026. Red lights flow between a model of a human and their phone, while wires emerge from the back of their head.

LIMITLESS PT.1: ENTER THE VOIC world in VRChat - part of Venice Immersive 2026. Abstract neon shapes and colours fill the world.

Veiled Dark world in VRChat - part of Venice Immersive 2026. A stone plinth is backlit in front of a restless sea and framed by a dark stone arch.

Memory world in VRChat - part of Venice Immersive 2026. A patchwork blanket covers the ground under a pillow bridge while large colourful hands reach to the sky where flowers with eyeball centers watch the participants.

Working on something less than 24 hours before it's due. I've known about it for like a month. ADHD has really failed me today.

Yeah, I'm a pretty elite VR mini-golfer in @walkaboutminigolf.bsky.social. I'm in the 0.1% for some achievements. (Nevermind that the achievements just came out a few hours ago...)

Supposed to hike up a mountain today but kiddo has a migraine last night and I’m running on like 3.5 hours of sleep 😩

If you're in Calgary, I would highly recommend Lazy Day Raft Rentals, it is so smooth and drama-free every time I deal with them. Can't wait to go float the Bow River this weekend!

It remains absolutely bonkers to me that flight attendants in Canada don't get paid until the plane leaves the gate. You need to be there, in uniform and doing necessary tasks? You should be paid. endunpaidwork.ca/right-to-strike

WestJet’s flight attendants are fighting to bring back the airline you deserve. They need public support to stop the race to the bottom.

The thing that gets me about the $13 Billion data center coming to my province is all the politicians talking about it like it's going to be so! much! investment! here and I'm like, my dudes most of that is probably going to Nvidia.

Ok I’m starting to understand the dislike for hiking influencers. Just saw a video today for a hike with no mention that the area was closed due to ROCKSLIDES and still in imminent danger of MORE ROCKSLIDES.

Finally started Flock Around from @secretplangames.bsky.social and I am HOOKED. Love that I can recognize the bird songs and calls since we've got a lot of the same birds here! My only criticism is the Canadian Geese are not NEARLY aggressive enough. Those things are scary af in real life.

Rec Room shutting down on Monday has me remembering a lot of stuff. All these years later and this still cracks me up. Guess Jordan won that round... youtu.be/ryo_FzUw4Ns?... (It's extra funny to me because I hated and still hate laser tag.)

My doctor gave me, a woman with ADHD, a form to redo some lab tests in six months. Where is the form now? Zero clue. I have a reminder in my phone to do the tests, but I did not include the location of the form. Not sure what the doc expected to happen here, honestly.

Really enjoyed Project Hail Mary last night. They did a great job of making certain things incredibly tense, despite the fact I had read the book and already knew what was going to happen. The kids went in blind and also really liked it!

Checked out the @bbnomula.bsky.social concert in Peak today! I produced a few virtual concerts back in the day and I know how much goes into them. Very cool to see it still happening in a way that feels like it belongs in game and isn't just a video of a band. Nice work @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social!

Literally do not understand how certain people can post “Grandkids appreciation day!” posts the same day as some of the worst homophobic bullshit. Like do you want your grandkids to talk to you or not.

My provincial MLA has had a recall petition application submitted against her, and NOW she finally responds to my email, with just: "Hi thanks contacting the office...." as the entire message. Same to everyone else's email, at the exact same time. Uh yeah girly, we talk amongst ourselves.
