Everyone Is Building Smart Glasses. Vision Pro Explains Why.

Check out my first Substack article! It examines on the current state of the AR market by contrasting the failure of Vision Pro against the success of Meta's smart glasses.

I'm starting a Substack - "The Long Game." I'm going to write about the tech and business topics I can't stop thinking about: augmented reality, non-DTC parts of gaming, world models, and wherever else my curiosity takes me.

Check out my intro!

IDK who's "frustrated..." this glitch creates awesome gameplay that the devs should recreate.

The exploit requires cooperation so it incentivizes collaboration between random players in solos. OFC fix it, but @EmbarkStudios should take the note to introduce more teamwork too.

I grant that superheroes stories are pretty fascist, but fantasy is the quintessential liberal democratic genre, narrating unrelenting, Davidian struggles against dark, authoritarian forces of evil, oppression and control.

Or did you think Sauron was the hero of TLOTR?! #TRIP

[Archie Stonehill @ArchieStonehill]

@RoryStewartUK @RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret, I demand an apology.

While listening to today’s #TRIP, I was outraged to hear you say, and I quote, that “neither [Superhero and fantasy literature] are particularly liberal democratic [forms of fiction]”.

Always happy to have the chance to speak with the good folks at Growth Masterminds about all the craziness going on with the #DMA and Apple’s new policies.

@keleftheriou @TimSweeneyEpic Do they for real have a product they called Gatekeeper?

They’re not even trying to hide the trolling at this point, huh?

[Archie Stonehill @ArchieStonehill]

@dragnworks @TimSweeneyEpic 12% > 30% ??

[Archie Stonehill @ArchieStonehill]

What an insanely good week for @TimSweeneyEpic and @EpicGames - First, the mammoth launches of #LEGOFortnite, #RocketRacing and #FortniteFestival; now the ruling in #epicvsgoogle. Bravo, sir!

[Archie Stonehill @ArchieStonehill]

Let's go...

@TimSweeneyEpic doesn't get enough credit for choosing to fight this fight, even though Epic was offered a big "Hug" by Google - the kind of sweetheart deal worth $100Ms that every other dev took

@shittybonmots You're wrong. Here are quotes from the article:

"Does it matter that neither of those things really happened to Minhaj?"

"Minhaj insisted that, though both stories were made up, they were based on 'emotional truth'"

She literally uses the words "made up" in the article

Our second Beta weekend is live! Until midnight Monday 3 July, dive into the Game Master’s sinister ritual.

[Archie Stonehill @ArchieStonehill]

This is why you don't make a horror game about never trusting anyone. You end up like this @PlayDeceit https://t.co/2dwXJZeFPv via @YouTube

[Archie Stonehill @ArchieStonehill]

Deceit was an leader in session-based social deception - moving beyond simplistic PvP or PvE archetypes

And D2 is so much more than just a “Finished Deceit.” It is as original in 2023 as Deceit was in 2017, built for players both new and old #playdeceit

[Archie Stonehill @ArchieStonehill]

It’s great to see the excitement for @PlayDeceit‘s Deceit 2 from both veterans of the original and new players who are hearing about it for the first time!

The original drew 15M downloads and a persistent, passionate community - all while in early access!

[Deceit @PlayDeceit]

Did you spot Deceit 2 at the @StreamerAwards? ICYMI, here’s a sneak peek at what's to come. #PlayDeceit

@DevRelCallum Love how generic you are

[Archie Stonehill @ArchieStonehill]

So many congrats to @Dennis_Firewall, @ftjernberg, and all of @wayfinder_games on the start of what promises to be an awesome journey

Being part of these journeys is what makes working at @makersfundvc so special! @Dreamhaven @KMTroedsson
