VR can be an empathy machine, but much like what Lisa Messeri's written about, there are pockets of problems where there is outright hateful behavior. WIRED mentioned it briefly which I'm thankful for. But yes, it makes it harder to take certain platforms seriously as a working artist.

"It's a walk-off."

People are bringing up Rachel Dolezal for BHM, so... Please stop supporting people who spraytan their skin and adopt coarser hair to appear more ethnic. It makes actual people of color with olive tones appear untrustworthy. I can't begin to tell you how much exclusion I've experienced due to her. 💀

I kept wondering how AI felt so familiar and now I get it: the animosity is like when toxic communities enact brain drain by pushing out more radical artists to make space for palatable types who fit in because they won’t rock the boat on anything. Comfort through being mutually mid.

Sometimes bsky is like a giant break room full of smoke and yapping and I love that

The myth that "video games make you violent" is very funny to me, because in my experience video games make you a freelance writer

Beautiful

My games are for moods: - Resonite for experiments + flight sim - Tower Unite to play pool while thinking up ideas - Dungeons of Eternity for THE CRAWL - Wurm/Medieval Dynasty for hunt/crafting downtime - VRC to attend events and see art - Roguelikes to die again and again - rarely, a AAA game

Waiting for Light No Fire to come out like

Oh.

In Resonite you can swap between worlds the way someone swaps between tabs on a browser.

I cut my hair for medical reasons so I’ve gone y2k with it

Artist Matt Baker (Dec. 10, 1921 - Aug. 11, 1959). Active in the Golden Age, he is most remembered for his amazing covers & beautiful women. Tragically, he died of a heart attack at the young age of 37. #BlackHistoryMonth

Few days ago i release a World to showcase the Photos for a contest in the Exploreurs imaginaires. You can find it here. : vrchat.com/home/world/w... Now i can go back keep working on my photo gallerie of 2025.

I woke up to Qs about this—I can’t talk about it, sorry! Thank you Ian for mentioning my work, I am deeply appreciative of it!

Though not officially supported, Nintendo's upcoming Virtual Boy library may be playable on Labo VR, the DIY cardboard headset from 2019:

Main playlist lately

I should talk more about the Webtoons I enjoy

Play techno and continue to innovate

Y2K (genx/boomer gen) cyberpunk educators are the GOAT and no one can convince me otherwise, they always have help ready when I need direction and are open to almost any crazy idea I have.

What a trip. People were full of joy and happy to feel some hope, similar to the feeling of a holiday parade. I walked behind the monks for a bit until it got too crowded and then I ducked out. Some First Nations in brigade also showed up. If you meet the monks in DC, have fun and be safe!

A wild read. Rosedale is probably thanking his lucky stars he wasn’t dragged into this.

Love Amos forever

On my way to see some monks walk for peace 🌿

I've had the pleasure to be invited as one of the artists for VPS2026. Exhibiting amongst an amazing lineup, and following our predecessors from 2025, I hope to continue to put out works that will make your heart flutter! Please stop by and visit if you can! www.virtualphotographyshowcase.com/en

We need you. Please hurry.

Do not stop making art.

We gotta get game mods to understand this model of engagement is not it 💀

Not defending any platform owners either for personal choices they make. They have employees for contracts and all that, so go ahead and let them do their job. It's not my personal problem and not any other players' problem either. Don't stick to one platform!

Damn that "Steve Harvey" song by BoB feels really pertinent right now

THE BAR WAS IN THE GROUND BUT HOLY SHIT.

This is WILD but according to the Department of Justice website, Jeffrey Epstein was discussing Second Life and Philip Rosedale and eventually met Rosedale at some point: www.reddit.com/r/secondlife...

So, um, it's a week y'all!

Thank you Ian for covering my work!!

A really big win today is getting feedback from people who have told me, "I want to paint like this." That's perfect and is what I'm aiming for!

I'm not just interviewing people in VR-first games, I'm interested in the internet itself ("Painting The Internet", duh!). If you do something cool in a gaming community and that game allows for custom map uploads, I might want to paint you. DM me! See pinned post for what the project looks like.

Now live! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urvv...

Painting The Internet goes live on Wednesday, January 28th at noon EST: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urvv... Featuring @whsprsmusic.bsky.social as special guest. #art #painting #vrchat #resonite #vr #internet

Thank you for following me! While you wait for the full version of Painting The Internet which drops tomorrow, you can read CLOUT--which is a horror comic I wrote after fully diving into VR and observing vtubers and musicians there. kgpaints.itch.io/clout #horror #comics

Genuinely, this is cool as hell. This is how technology can support art properly. None of this generative nonsense. Just allowing a virtual model to be painted in real life. Bridging the gap between virtual and real. Genuinely stunning work @kgpaints.bsky.social
