If you haven't checked out the updated home world go pay it a visit! It would be a fantastic spot for an analog horror photo shoot

A stack of old televisions with static on the screen, the static drips out from the screens into the world

watching TV way too close to the screen. Our parents told us we'd go blind, so we strapped screens 2 inches from our eyeballs

A desolate and monochrome beach that feels inspired by Death Stranding. Love it when world authors have repeating themes

I did not have hail storm on my fall vibes checklist 🥶

But the cats did love chasing the hail when I tossed it down the hallway

aw man, hearing about New Eden going is such sad news. Loved their style a ton

DanDudeVR @dandudevr.bsky.social · 9d

New Eden founders shut down extravaganza and put avatars on sale in their public letter. You have only hours to take advantage of their sale.

The climate catastrophe won’t wake people up, but maybe the electricity bill will

doing the math
New Orleans pop is ~350k
So it’s like paying for 700,000 people that don’t exist

Mississippi Free Press @mississippifreepress.org · 11d

Meta is constructing its largest data center yet: a $10 billion facility in Louisiana, as big as 70 football fields, requiring more than twice as much electricity as the City of New Orleans.

Louisiana has had to greenlight $3 billion in new energy infrastructure to service Meta's facility.

New Meta Data Center Needs Twice as Much Energy as New Orleans

Elliepop @elliepop.bsky.social · 19d

Yep that’s what I’ve been doing! but also the late joiner opening a portal from a photo will overwrite the portals at the beginning of the queue so its important to favorite the ones you opened first

Elliepop @elliepop.bsky.social · 20d

Late joiners can’t see the portals, but this might be one of my new favorites for starting vrchat world hops

And then telegram has the better limits… but then they have the auto compression if you wanted a gallery view, which defeats the purpose of the full res images! 😡
