such a great doc, made me become a patron of you. very few are looking at this stuff with the grounded/open/critical lens you have created. I hope that people will take heed, especially in the industries themselves and in academia and gov

What a wonderful, and candid overview of what VRChat is all about. In 2018, your work at Shut Up & Sit Down inspired me to start making board games adaptations in VRChat. The process of creating worlds, sharing them, and befriending creators... it's been life-changing, honestly. Thank you for getting me there! 💖

I'm here because of this video too - thank you for opening my eyes to VR Chat...I'm plotting a way onto this bandwagon!

Hey it's Ruby

Paid a membership because of this video. As a regular on VRC, thanks for talking about the community and the game!

Just outstanding work once again. Obviously the journalistic content is incredible, but I'm also in love with the aesthetic choices ya'll are making. The way you've figured out how to do effective "two camera" setups in VR is fantastic.

This is spectacular, and absolutely bumped me up to the $5 level for the extra video. Bravo, team.

Matt Bailey

Fantastic work as usual 🙂👍 Small, relatively unimportant point: I think the list of Patreon backers at the end stops scrolling too early so some names are getting cut off at the end. Seems to be an unusual lack of Matts...

I really enjoyed this episode and the deep dive into VR Chat. My only thought is that I wish y'all would have defined what you consider the "metaverse". I feel like a common definition is a version of the internet where users navigate from one site to another but have consistent experiences (often in VR or AR), but this video seems to focus purely on VR within one program (VR Chat).
