I’ve been getting back into making YouTube videos and wanted to share my thoughts about the Steam Frame and how it could change VR

This isn’t something I wanted to make public, but I can no longer stay silent.
Dozens of creators have gone unpaid by my former employer @_VAL_VR, some waiting OVER 200 days.
@ryanburning, make these creators whole.
Developers: please do your due diligence before working with VAL.
@plectrumxr TBH, I think you're doing it the right way. You've emphasised marketing form the beginning, many don't and just rely on being featured.
And I imagine you have a pretty lean team.
I think indies are what's going to continue to make VR shine
The Queensland Games Festival is on this Saturday the 27th at the Brisbane Powerhouse. Come along and be the first in the world to play lots of cool indie games!!

Australians have older looking skin.
In one week, the Australian sun aged my skin by 5%.
> 15% stronger UV; fair skin can burn in under 15 mins
> 2 in 3 aussies skin cancer before age 70
> 2-3x increase in melanoma risk vs USA
A study involving 1472 Caucasian and Asian women found that signs of skin aging appeared 10–20 years earlier in Australian women than in US women from the same study. Australians self-reported higher rates of change and significantly more severe facial lines and volume-related features like tear troughs and naso-labial folds than women from the other countries.
The sun in Australia is very intense.
The Australian sun increased my skin aging by 5% (via UV damage and spots).
Even though I:
> I used my umbrella when in sun
> protected my skin during peak UV
> and still my skin UV damage increased by 5%
Australians get more intense UV radiation. For example, during summer the earth's orbit puts the Southern Hemisphere closer to the sun, making the sun stronger than in most of the U.S.
Even outside of Southern Hemisphere summer, Australia is almost a "perfect storm" for UV exposure:
> thinner ozone overhead makes it stronger
> cleaner air allows UV to penetrate deeper
> high solar elevation angles due to its relatively low latitude, meaning sunlight reaches the surface more directly and passes through less atmosphere
This is particularly true in Queensland, where proximity to the equator further amplifies UV intensity. Most people in Queensland live roughly at 17–28° from the equator, compared with ~34° for Los Angeles, allowing the Sun to reach significantly higher elevations in the sky and resulting in more intense UV radiation at ground level.
More than the increased cancer risk, up to 90% of visible facial aging is from UV.
The sun is great. You want the right amount. Not too much and not too little.
THIS IS NOT AI, This Is BENI!
Beni is an autonomous two wheeled self balancing camera robot who’s ready to be your next camera assistant!
Beni can automatically track and follow you, has built in storage for recording, and can traverse over various terrains, and even jump and flip in a variety of directions.
Beni might be the future of filmmaking and capturing authentic moments. Beni will be available on Kickstarter from July 8 - August 21, will you be getting one? 👀
Never Give Up Keep Creating ♥️

@KevinEspiritu Australia is currently seeing the impacts of Varroa Mite. Tonnes of apiraries are losing their hives and going out of business.
The honey bee displaces native bees AND birds because they make hives in tree hollows. Defintely a need to support natives rather than rely on honey bee
Doin an awesome-weird DLC collab with @WalkaboutMG! I'm bout to do a buncha stuff you prolly shouldn't do in a VR mini-golf game! Coming June 25th! https://t.co/2EwjgDzKDD
