Connection to the users and their desire paths is the most important path of working in security and nobody goddamn does it. You are gonna make compromises. And they're all gonna be worth it. Because you understand what they want and you're gonna deliver it and they're gonna stop doing stupid shit.

And lo I realized I need to learn yet another entire set of skills to try and create Ghost's motorcycle garage slash home as a VRChat world and ugh that is going to take so much fucking work.

Basically I'm so used to crafting characters within a context and getting my claws into the overarching narrative and playing with that, knowing other people have the same shared understanding.

VRC lacks that, so I need to bring it with me to really feel like I'm sharing a character's truth.
