This Sunday we’re hosting a live VR comedy show on StageTime with Britain’s Got Talent finalist Daliso Chaponda, Dom Hatton-Woods and Tony Vino.
It’s free, live in VR, and spaces are limited.
Would love to see you there.

@Jwb1410@BBCBreaking I care about the lost generation who will struggle to find work if they never start. Those who will struggle to support a family, buy a home, travel the world and enjoy their lives because they got too comfortable when they were young.
Yet it is. With a growing population, stagnating/low growth economy, more people graduating from universities and a higher number of people applying per job, you are competing for work. Those with the drive, determination and focus on making themselves as employable as possible succeed.
@larkskya@BBCBreaking Which industry? What results did you achieve in your masters and bachelors? Is there anything you can do from home to develop skills in your desired profession?
I do believe it is tougher to get a job in the current climate, but the solution is not to wait for the government to fix the economy or create the conditions to guarantee you a job. You won't thrive by being dependent on the government.
How many jobs are you applying for? Do you have the skills required? How much effort have you put into volunteering and getting work experience? Have you asked anyone to review your CV and/or portfolio (if applicable).
People are still out there getting jobs. Don't give up hope. Put yourself in the best position to be as employable as possible.
You're misunderstanding. Some young people are perfectly happy to live off a free £400 a month that requires no work to cover their low expenditure.
The bar to receive benefits should be far higher. Incentivise people into work, training or education.
A mindset of thinking nothing is possible will only make that so. Young people (including myself) are still buying homes.
Jobs involve work and effort. When people like Michael Owen who sent in his reaction to the BBC says "he receives around £300-£400 in Universal Credit each month, which he has been claiming for the last three years. He says this is manageable because he is not the type to spend money dining out." why would he bother working? If NEETs can sit at home and get enough money for free to cover their minimal expenditure because they have low standards or aspirations, why bother? I see too many people who are exactly like this.
Rec Room is shutting down for good on June 1st
“We never quite figured out how to make Rec Room a sustainably profitable business”
“With the recent shift in the VR market, along with broader headwinds in gaming — we've made the difficult decision to shut things down.”
I don’t expect us to get to that scale or bigger. I want us to stay focused on our area of social vr and grow that sustainably with more activities and valuable monetisation options. We can definitely serve many more users. As long as we continue to grow the community and can keep the lights on, we’re good!
