I checked it out and dragged as much of my friend group as I could; it's one of my favorite game maps! I hope you have the chance to better support desktop soon, but no pressure as I know that's complex. I just want more people to destroy 😈 (and I'll keep talking about it in the meantime)

Good call, and it's looking great so far!

A great community for new people is the Ancients of VRChat - their whole bit is getting new people some friends. I'm also a part of a sfw community around nerdy gaming people called Ikabukuro, and I recommend that as well. Feel free to DM me if you have more questions!

I agree with Twila, and definitely find some communities - people have hidden gems they love that aren't always findable easily online. I recommend Stormy Cave (lots to explore and mess with), Organism (surreal art experience) and A Simple Fishing World (fishing) as a few different vibes to try!

Sorry, but I wouldn't say there's an 'easy' way. I highly recommend you find someone to guide you through your first upload, as having help when there's an inevitable random bug makes a big difference. Good luck!

Love that your instinct when animating is to dramatically commit violence on your friends via TF2 :)

I love how you capture the stress of the choice. Even with chaos, it's better to continue

A bit abstract, but I think you might enjoy @drezzdon.bsky.social's work. Liminal + game/techy hud + melancholy type vibes

It all depends on the energy and motivation you have for it, too. Just making it exist is the most important part!

If your map is meant to be an information resource, having it always visible is totally fine, though hide/unhide can help with visual noise when hanging out there. If you have the chance to make social media or group links clickable I think that would make a big difference for accessibility!

My work isn't perfect but I'm proud that it *exists* and I'll continue to practice making it exist

It is so easy to hide and lurk and feel like what you have to say isn't good enough or isn't refined enough or you're worried you don't know every detail of what you need to know to form an opinion. But if you stay there, you never will have the chance to learn

I have decided I'm done lurking. It's been a long time coming, but I'm going to interact now. I'll see you in the reply sections!

I've been absolutely adoring digging through @travelingtwila.bsky.social's website. It's a treasure trove of chaotic research notes on #vrchat through time. It's very similar work to my goals and super inspiring!

That's an awesome goal, I know you can do it! Great shapes so far :)

I can see that people potentially use 'lore' as a way to separate themselves from the artist, functionally acknowledging that they don't know them, but that doesn't change how dehumanizing using that term is.

I'm so glad this was possible - I thought it might be when I saw the update. Making physical doors has been such a pain otherwise. Thank you for the demo!

These are super charming! I particularly love the orange, as the color contrast really pops

What a cool group, thank you for sharing! I hope the bug fixing went well. I'll have to find where you yapped about this for-explorer thing as an explorer myself 🧐

How can I make the here and now a time I look back on fondly?

my writing is boring. indeed, it is. but i am still doing it, and after a few thousand attempts i'll surely capture something that echoes in someone

the cliche that home is where the heart is often forgets how much construction that requires. better for me than being homeless. today my home is the work

how many times do I refresh a page before it can single-handedly earn a diagnosis

I'm excited to see it, and the progress so far looks intriguing! No rush though - let yourself cook :)

what do you do on those days where everything in your brain house has been moved an inch to the left so you hit every couch corner and table corner and nothing sits quite right? it feels my soul is narrowly dodging what's right in front of me

in the meantime I can always ramble on the Internet knowing no one will read it. heart doesn't believe me though and clenches in my chest looking for someone to see themselves better via the mirror in my shaking hands

perhaps my desire to be Ramona Flowers stems from a fear of being forgotten. it's not me to be impermanent. handling it inelegantly very much is, and I seek the day that it'll sink in and I can finally accept it

Hope you had a wonderful birthday!

Do it! I'd be happy just to see more of your work I've missed :)

What does it mean to you to "be a creator"? Does it require actions of creating, or is it a mindset?
