I don't think the metaverse can happen at all, unless we cure the routers of the world from excessive queuing delay. We have a very long way to go, as per the appendix here: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Steve Jobs once said: "The most powerful person is the storyteller." And luckily, storytelling is a skill. But most people have never tried to learn – because no one showed them where to start. So here are 6 of the best storytelling threads (so you can start learning today):

Is this one of those cases where a product actually lives up to the hype? Infinite geometry would be a giant leap forward for any 3D software, let alone a real-time renderer. How is UE5 this far ahead?

I was able to load a 10 million polygon photoscan of Ziggy in the @UnrealEngine. Using #UE5's Nanite meshes I was able to load 1000 instances of it at 60fps before I got bored. That's 10 billion polygons and it didn't even blink. It could have handled a lot more than this.

Hoping Oculus uses OC6 as an opportunity to double down on indie investments instead of these multi-million dollar console-esque epics that nobody plays. They should be funding 1000 small teams trying to make the next Beat Saber or Bigscreen rather than any AAA titles.

Many of Rich's observations in the surrounding hundred+ tweets seem overly cynical (granted, my viewpoint would be conductive to naivete), but early Id Software days of massive bonuses did cause some pathologies that even socially-oblivious-me could notice. xitter.gq/richgel999/status/1018…

That $35 that scientific journals charge you to read a paper goes 100% to the publisher, 0% to the authors. If you just email us to ask for our papers, we are allowed to send them to you for free, and we will be genuinely delighted to do so. xitter.gq/mantia/status/10135597…

Just saw online that SyFy has cancelled THE EXPANSE. It's a damn shame, especially for fans of space science fiction... of which I count myself one. It was the best space show on television, far and away. I hope its producers can find another home for it. ow.ly/MiF930jXAJ4

I ♥️@BeatSaber. It's the best VR experience to reliable cultivate flow states. It's a rhythm game that uses your body to solve puzzles. I talked to the lead developer & composer at GDC, & here's a @LIV video of me on expert mode voicesofvr.com/644-beat-sabe…

You can grind really hard and sacrifice your health, relationships and body for a few years before the wheels fall off. Sooner or later you have to go into sustainable marathon mode, otherwise you’ll never make it to the ten years it takes to be an overnight success.
