January Update:
Visited family back east for the holidays. In 4 years I have only returned in the Spring or Summer. In the Winter the trees are bare, the woods are quiet.
I made a pilgrimage to Epic Games HQ. Toured the Facilities. I called my mother after the tour: You should have heard the desperation in her voice when she asked if they have any positions for me. She wants me closer, like any mother would I suppose.
There's still growth to be had and work to be done out here. The Pacific Northwest calls my name.
SyntheticDreams new design feels good. It's time to stop faking locomotion. Blink teleport, snap turning. It all serves a purpose - but for stronger immersion we need to embrace our current spatial limitations.
I think about Homesteading. If I were given a piece of land. Water, Electricity, Internet. What sort of experiences would I create? I plan to use SD as a platform for exploration of this idea.
