nobody’s talking about how perfect the font for the backrooms movie is. it’s stylistic choices make much more sense after you’ve seen it. the way all the letters have duplicated elements and some letters are even different fonts. chefs kiss

@karanganesan @Dilmerv Each burn is a unique & special event. For many in the community it is like the New Years celebration. It gives the chance to be human and free from the constraints that exist in current default capitalistic society. It creates a temporary Protopia that you can participate in

Lucas is right. Being a creator isn’t just a job, it’s a career and rn it’s a very unstable one because creators are forced to create for the platforms instead of themselves and their fans.

Decentralize the creator economy by open sourcing it, so the people can own their careers

[Lucas Rizzotto @_LucasRizzotto]

The creator economy is broken. I want to fix it - but I need help.

If you're a creator, your content & community is split into 7+ platforms, and none of them are loyal to you.

@NimaZeighami 🦾🤖🦿 is Robo-wrestling the future of exercise? Stay tuned to find out

[Ian MacKenzie @IanXRNerd]

@ConnectomeGame Hey @ConnectomeGame will you be at AWE? Would you be interested in a spot to demo this game? DM me!

[Ian MacKenzie @IanXRNerd]

@Rengle820 It opens up a world of possibilities ranging from functional apps like 3D modeling in perspective to fun recreational things like simulating golf and boosting immersion

[Ian MacKenzie @IanXRNerd]

@Rengle820 VR & spatial computing solve the limitations of traditional screens. Letting people use computers in a more human centric design instead of being anchored to a machine and screen on a desk
