I revisit an email from Ken Perlin at NYU so often I want it in my timeline. He sent it to me in August 2015 in response to questions for an article I was writing. Here’s what he wrote:

i just saw this on my feed a couple days ago! NGL stuff like this is why UVR is one of my favorite current gen tech news outlets, they actually have a thumb on the scene and don't scare away from sharing niche stuff like this!

sorry to be boring about this, but the tired line about "this kind of work is only possible via subscribers" is still true, there's no way we have the time or space to do stories like this otherwise

Curious if anyone suffers from agoraphobia? And if so, how does VR relate to that condition? Reskeet for VR user visibility.

Went hands-on with Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow nearly a month ago! It's shaping up well, I think it'll get delayed to next year, but it looks like a promising new entry

You shouldn’t need an insider at Meta to get your Instagram account reinstated. Free speech and access to essential health information shouldn't hinge on who you know. It’s time for Meta to prove their commitment to fairness and transparency.

Drove 6 hours today across Oklahoma and Texas. Another driver and I were taking turns passing one another going 80. That poor bastard didn’t see the speed limit signs rapidly drop from 70 to 55. Thanks for taking that ticket for the team, speedy.

I found the specifications for the AOL Star Trek chat role playing game I was a member of for exactly one mission as a kid. It was amazing. And then I had to go back to my soccer season.

We can talk about the other place as much as we desire but I insist posts like this one suggest that I’m in the right place for reporting about VR.

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself? "fork lady is eroding public confidence." "ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field." "lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability." that's what you sound like.

My contribution to The Loneliness Discourse is that we see D&D, Warhammer, etc, going mainstream because they‘re Third Space Provider Games so we should all talk more about such things to save America.
