Discuss: **The #metaverse is #music.** How does this metaphor hold? More fun: how does it fall down? Inspired by an analysis of the Zelda theme. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm8b... Meta4Mondays is a social experiment getting to know each other's views on the metaverse in a creatively absurd way.

Both metaverse and music support the overall story but they themselves are not the story. In terms of not related... music notes can be written and pieced together with 'relative' ease. Whereas the fabric of a metaverse requires a lot of work. Does anyone else have a comparison?

Got bored of scaling screens and trying to get slow Android devices to work, so I released all the sound tracks from Caves of Steel as an album on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, and a bunch of other music platforms. open.spotify.com/album/4hfRIK...

If you've started following me from LinkedIn because of my post there, please do send a message to say "Hi, I'm <name>" - I will respond and we can start talking. If you've not followed me from LinkedIn, the same applies. Putting your name as <name> will not be funny because of this sentence.

Here's my deep dive into @walkaboutminigolf.bsky.social with creator Lucas Martell. It feels long overdue considering how incredible this game is from the astonishing worldbuilding, realistic gameplay, and compelling social dynamics they've been able to cultivate. voicesofvr.com/1560-walkabo...

I wrote an article documenting a week of trying to break into a Yubikey security key. TL;DR - I didn't manage to break it, but found some interesting stuff. medium.com/@kf106/playi... #hacking #computersecurity

Here's the group discussion that four winners of the Polys Ombudsperson of the year had about XR & AI Ethics, as well as general XR industry trends. I speak about how Meta is pinning their commitment to XR based upon the success or failure of Horizon Worlds at the end: voicesofvr.com/1523-xr-ai-e...

@vworldsmuseum.bsky.social kickstarter live! This is broader than just curating a museum, VWM is also conserving knowledge, contributing to the wider community - great project.

When we say "Metaverse" what we probably really mean, is this. So cool!

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Popular meme format, grandma labeled with "bluesky's public launch was one year ago today." Younger person helping her labeled with "sure grandma let's get you to bed."

I'll be open to pixel art freelance/commission work starting this february 2025 :) 🎨 lunascimento.art 📧 lunascimento.art@gmail.com

Pixel art of a private library, with a bear-skin rug in the center, as well as a portrait and 3 red sofas.

Pixel art. It's a window to someone's living room, full of plants and moving boxes. A person and a dog look to the outside, where birds fly around a tower of light.

Pixel art cross-section of a 2 floor student home at nighttime. A pensative blue haired character is leaning against the balcony's railing. Some rooms are obscured.

Pixel art portrait of twin brother and sister. They both have cyan hair, dark skin, and wear dark clothes. The girl is smiling and confident, holding a slingshot. The boy is timid, holding a coin necklace and wearing a witch's hat.

Knowledge comes from believing truths & avoiding falsehoods, but these are two separate algorithms that require a dialectical process. It's the core of the Socratic Method as expertly elaborated by @agcallard.bsky.social in her new book "Open Socrates." Our deep dive: voicesofvr.com/1518-the-soc...

I will have an interview about this film dropping around Sundance, and the online tickets have been opened up today and definitely recommend grabbing a ticket to the Docs Shorts program if you’re based in the US. Definitely worth catching if you can.

My 3d model viewer is taking shape! 🧊 Added a selector for lighting / unlit / wireframe Also tried options to move the directional and toggle hard-edges. But I like the simplicity of only one dropdown #gamedev #opensource #web #threejs #b3d

I'm curious to hear people's perspective on how different platforms can lower the barrier for users to cross across experiences. Is there value to have an intermediate hub to point users to one platform or another for experiences? Any thoughts @openmetaverse.bsky.social ?
