I bought Moss 1 years ago for the PSVR and got the upgrade to PSVR2, and bought Moss 2 there as well.

Now I feel super guilty for not having finished them 😂

I'm more sympathetic to tri-plexes where the middle unit literally has no ground on either side of their driveway.

8. If you change the collider size, fix the mesh position. If you move the mesh position, fix the collider size.
9. Except you *can't* just set the mesh position. You need to set max distance instead, which sets the mesh position...
10. Biggest gotcha: Max distance is world scale. Which means...

Part of the problem is if you don't have a twitter account, then you can't view the contents, so links are often useless.

Even more so if people are leaving twitter and cancelling/deleting their accounts so links no longer work for them.

Hmm this looks a little sus. Can't they even link to that tweet?
