1. If you have AR, it would be really cool to do walking street directions that actually superimpose a red path line, floating arrows etc on the real world.
2. It would be cool to do a "teleconference" in AR sitting at a table with the person you're teleconferencing with superimposed into another chair. (My brother and I have discussed this idea before.)

@mcc When VR headsets were becoming a thing about what 8(?) years ago, I thought it would be really cool to make all these alternate spaces that would overlay my entire house, so me and my friends could hang out in places from my memories and dreams. I also had big hopes that I could have the screens of all my computers and my phone all accessible as cool floating rectangles I could summon and manipulate with visual input devices.

Apple is probably releasing their VR/AR product this year, which means they're probably going to patent a *bunch* of stuff which is wildly obvious but just coincidentally has never been shipped before. So it's occurring to me it is a good idea to start publicly documenting various "hey, you know what would be a good idea to do in VR" ideas, so we can point to it as prior art when the lawsuit happens.

Some things I've been thinking about for years:

do not fall into the traps laid for you, some by cis phobes and some by trans elders. there is an infinite list of excuses that you can draw from if you're looking for ways to disqualify yourself. but your gender is yours alone to choose and it's independent of what anyone else says or thinks.

@JoshJers I’ve been presented opportunities for wishes external to myself and the record there stands. Though I don’t know that any were specifically purchased, and not from my kin. 🤔

My daughter bought me this for xmas. And while i love the sentiment, I’m… hesitant to put it on. I’m pretty aggressively NOT superstitious, but my wishes are cursed. Any time I make them, the opposite seems to happen, or should it be all but assured, it will be corrupted in some monkey’s paw kinda way. I’ve long since stopped making them. 😬

Do i give it another go?

@cailinkins yeah I’m def doing my best to give myself Grace on this, but yeah. Blah. This one hit different and I’m not the same person I was before it. Colder and more distant as a self defense mechanism.

On reflection, 2022 has easily been my loneliest year on record. The heartbreak early in the year cracked something deep in me, possibly irreparably.

I’ve worked hard to find joy in the things I like doing, and found some marginal success, but that crack… It opens to an endless sucking void. Sometimes it’s all I can do to keep from imploding into despair.

The music and friends, they help. But i feel myself skipping like a stone on the waters of oblivion. I fear I’m running out of momentum

@sinvega @alexandria according to the blurb at the bottom of the current page, that Skin has been stretched over a couple bodies in the intervening years.

It’s sad.

Non-trans folks: trans women who underwent testosterone puberty don’t have any voice changes from HRT.

Some do many hours of mentally exhausting voice therapy to find a new voice. Some do not.

I am not asking but demanding that you respect both choices. :heart_trans:

Please. I’m begging you. Not every tutorial needs to be a video.

I was reminded today that Desura existed. It's too bad what happened to it, there was some promise there once. Now it's merely a cursed husk.

My kids are watching this classic scene from Sesame Street and are just as confused as the Yip Yips. They have absolutely no conception of what this thing is. The humor of the scene has truly come full circle.

@solient still my phone background. I love her so much 😭

@eniko new engine features expanding scope to the point that the project gets overwhelming?? Couldn’t be me 😭
