YouTube video by 8-bit Music Theory How The Legend of Zelda Theme Works

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.

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?

Caves Of Steel Callow Joke · Album · 2025 · 11 songs

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.

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.

Playing around with a Yubikey This post is produced in collaboration with Resonance Security — cybersecurity for all.

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.

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:

@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!

Now to get this into the metaverse, into games, into 3D interactive visualisations! myoceanlearn.marine.copernicus.eu

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."

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.

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.

I'll be open to pixel art freelance/commission work starting this february 2025 :)

It happens, some days just aren't as productive as we envision them to be.

Sometimes later you may find that the day was actually productive just in different ways. Perhaps that argument results in an ever-lasting friendship, or perhaps never hearing from the troll again 😅

We're having a casual conversation next week about building the metaverse's legacy. This relates directly to the "File(Data) over app" philosophy. Keen to join? Have ideas to share? Please get in touch!

Book cover for "Open Socrates: The Case for a Philosophical Life" by Agnes Callard

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

Great thanks for sharing, I'll see you all there!

Awesome thanks for the tips, I'll dig into them! 🙌 very neat rundown of the standards vs framework problems.

There's just something about pixel art and animations that hit differently. Thanks for sharing your progress 🫡

Incredible work by Voxvienne, imagination and creativity beyond words. Looking forward to more in 2025!

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 ?
