Yesterday at #CES2023, we had the chance to listen to a great keynote from Ed Bastian, CEO of @Delta. Afterward, we were happy to be able to meet up with him. CES 2023 is off to a great start!

We hope you all have been having a fabulous holiday season this year! ❄️ After all that holiday shopping, you might be excited to hear the word FREE. 🎁 As in, Loam Sandbox is FREE to download on the Meta Quest App Lab Store! 😉

Happy Loaming 🌱

It's become a tradition to spend Halloween Eve constructing my costume from scratch. I stay up entirely too late because I am terrible at judging how long it takes to cut and glue. It's the scariest night of the year.

@WackoMedia Happy Birthday!!!

[Amy Chmielewski Stout @AmyChmie]

What's my hidden talent, you ask? When I make my afternoon cheese snack I can grab the correct amount of crackers without counting. Every piece of cheese has a vehicle and every vehicle has a piece of cheese.

Very few people get to talk about gnomes and virtual reality on the regular. I am one of the lucky ones! Thanks for having me on the show @sassgamers.

I'm speaking at the next @XRAtlanta meetup about releasing a #VRgame on #MetaQuest App Lab. TBH I had a ton of questions before starting this journey. I wasn't finding the answers online because it's still very new, so I learned by doing. What questions do you have?

@Photoshop Finished just means that I'm never intentionally looking at it again. And if I ever accidentally see it, I will make just one *minor* tweak. Then it's finished for real this time. I swear.😅

[Amy Chmielewski Stout @AmyChmie]

@ParaDymeTV I like to think of it as self-control. I don't need the coffee, the coffee needs me.

[Amy Chmielewski Stout @AmyChmie]

@G1Bordeaux Delicious. I shorten it to delish in hopes that no one will notice 😳

[Amy Chmielewski Stout @AmyChmie]

@_andrewpappas 👋Hi! Just found you through a thread from @H3gor about indie game dev marketing. I saw you hosted a roundtable at GDC that I wanted to go to but totally missed it. Was there anything in particular that stuck out to you during the convo?

[Amebous Labs @AmebousLabs]

@Legend_Ori I'm part of an indie team that just launched a VR game for Quest headsets. I'm on the hunt for others who have launched on Quest to learn from and share my experiences. Almost everything I see online is for Steam, which is amazing advice but sadly doesn't always translate.

[Amy Chmielewski Stout @AmyChmie]

Is it possible to take a picture of a person in a VR headset without it looking like a cheesy stock photo? I have yet to find a pose that works.
