I was not impacted by the layoff. Those that were let go today were talented, passionate, and humble. They lived and breathed VRChat. I have no doubt that they will achieve immense success elsewhere, but am deeply heartbroken I don't get to work with them anymore.

I think most talk about VR tends to focus on immersion, but I think I'm more interested in embodiment. To what level do you feel like you are your avatar -- that it is, genuinely, you? Not a paper doll, but instead an inseparable part of your self.

General advice: never isolate yourself. If you ever feel an urge to do so, that's your sign that you need to reach out to people, that you need to be around people. That's especially true during high-stress periods. It took me an embarrassing long time to figure that one out.

I really feel bad for the Helldivers CMs. Being thrown into the fire and being told to deal with boiling-hot rage every single day is hard. It's not a normal job. It's not something you receive training for. Maintaining empathy while tanking that much hate is a rare skill.

Whenever something comes out about the VR rave scene, someone always messages me and asks me to do a "part 2." With all due respect: no, lol. I'm very comfortable being the person who took a snapshot of the scene in 2021, one that isn't really relevant to today's scene.

easy points from the peanut gallery aside: VRChat is a special place for a lot of trans/nb folks, and I think we all have a special duty to ensure that it stays that way. I couldn't have been "me" without finding this place, and I want everyone else to have that, too.
